behind. The plucky Virginiau increased
his distance at every stroke and passed the
finish winner by ten lengths in IL ~.

OPPOSITION TO THE " CONVERSATION FOR
DISTURBANCE BILL"
LONDON, July S.-The Dublin core
spondent OF the Times says "The oppo-
nents Of the compensation for disturbance
IN Ireland bill do not intend TO abandon
the struggle. They rather believe that the
House OF Commons and the country are
likely to be misled by the statement that the
bill is limited in its range, while the truth
is that the measure will cover three fOurths
Of the country. NumerOusy-signed pei.
tons against the passage Of the bill, incu-
ding the signatures OF advanced Liberals,
have been sent all over the country"
THE CHARACTER AND SCOPE OF THE BILL.
A Dublin dispatch to the Times says:
"The opponents OF the bill believe if its
true character and scope were known 10 the
people OF England the bill would never
pa,s. Its scope is much wider than would
ever be inferred from the measure Itself.
The scheduled districts to which it applies
comprise 100000 Of the 20,000,000 acres
in the country. The bill is felt to be pecu-
liarly hard upon the small, struggling land
lords who have TO deal with tenants whom
il is meant to protect. IL will reduce many OF
these landlords TO indulgence. Those who
have given the most and lost the most by
bad times and bad tenants will suffer most
seriously, while the class whom the bill is
intended to restran-namely, the iron
handed. who have used the utmost pressure
to extract rents-ca afford TO wait until
the fetter which the act puts upon them Is
removed. They will then 90 TO work with
a vengeance upon the deiauters. The Land
Committee, who have been for some time
organizing for the defence OF the land
lords, are working s,renuously to enlist

PROGRESS OF THE STEAMER GULNARE.
NEW YORK. July S.-A special from 81.
JOHNS, n. H., says the Arctic exploring
steamship Gunare, under command Of
Captain Palmer, fifteen days out from
Washington, was towed into the barbOr OF
II. Johns this morning by The tug Daisy.
The voyage Of the Gulnare over the first
stage OF her proposed cruise is almost COM
pletely uueyenful. Her boiler showed
symptoms Of weakness shortly after leaving
Washington, and gradually the Polar
steamer had TO rely on her sails for her pro-
pelling power. The fre.boxes completely
collapsed, and the prudential course Of TAX
Ing steam of the whole machinery was
adopted without hesitation. The ships
company is oil in good health and spirits,
and anticipate an eventual success. Ii Is
probable that at least fortnight will he re-
quired to put the engine department OF the
Gulnare in good, reliable condition, and IT
is fortunate there were ample facilities in
st. Johns to supply all the steamers re-
quiremcnt.
