Discussion OF Recent occurrences hna
Present Prospects In the House.
LONDON, August 2S.-The Chief seCre'
tary for Ireland in the House Of Commons
to-day, stated the Government do no,
think 1t necessary to ask for exceptional
powers for the preservation Of peace and
the protection Of life and property in Ire
land. They do not know, he said, whether
they rely during the coming Autumn and
Winter upon the common law. They do
not fear a rising, but the condition OF the
country 10 precarious, and should necess-
ity arise the Government would not hesi-
tate to summon the Parliament in order
to obtain additional powers, but they do
not think the occasion likely to occur.
Mitchell Henry moved adjournment for
the purpose Of raising debate on the use
Of buck.shet by the police at Dungannon,
which be strongly denounced.
Mr.. Forster said the government was
responsible for that action. 1t had au-
thorized the use Of buck,shot as more hu.
name than ball. The police only fired
upon and charged the rioters when abso-
lutely necessary. Ifthey had not done so
Dnngannon would have been sacked.
Sir Patrick o'Bren, (Liberal), and Fin
negan, 0donnell and Parnell, Home Ru-
lersJ, protested against the use OF buck
shot. Parnell hoped Forster would re-
scind the order, which, in the case Of Dun
cannon, had the most unfortunate result.
The Marquis OF Harrington said II the
vote on supplies Is finished by Monday
next the House can adjourn September 8,
but all depends upon the progress OF bust
ness. 1lla ata Gsl'r
John Dillon Home Ruler moved to ad-
journ in order to give Mr.. Foster an ep-
portnnity to explain his recent language.
Mr.. Dillon said: 81 do not mind being
called a coward and impostor, but | object
TO the accusation oi deliberate wickedness,
because advise resistance to law which
the government itself had called unjust,
yet continued to administer. Twill repeat
that advice at every land meeting in the
land. -
Mr.. Foster said he had no explanation
to make, but he adhered TO every word
he had uttered. Dillon had preached dis
obedience to . law which the government
was determined TO uphold. Mr.. Foster
addel that the recent horrible outrages
in Ireland show o barbarian to which
speeches like Mr.. Dillon's excite the
people.

JKLLAlApAp, August 2a.-The events for
the past six months show the uselessness
Of Kurum fort for influencing the military
or political situation at cabul. 1000 troops
there might as well have been at Malta.
The news from Cabul Ia scanty, chiefly
because the tribes have closed in OH our
rear to aght over the stores which were
left in the forts and posts.
The Hissarkas and Kyniiunais had a
severe fight at Pezwan. Many were killed
on both sides.

ST.. PAUL, August 2s.-At2 2 o'clock this
morning q fire was discovered in the Man.
sard roof Of the paper warehouse Of
Averill, Russell & Carpenter, on Lower
Third street. The flames gained hesdway
rapidly, and the FIRE department was so
slow aud inefficient that the fire soon
spread to the roof Of P. a. Kelly & Co.'S
wholesale grocery store, next to the paper
wareh ouse. The buildings were soon
wrapped in flames. The combustible ma
terial in the grocery burned rapidly and
the paper stock in the warehouse was
burned before the fire was checked. Kel-
ly's ktore Is a shapeless heap OF ruins, and
only the walls OF Averill, Russell 4 Co.'s
warehouse are left standing.
The fire burned With great swiitness and
fercsness, and there was much danger in
working near it. IL was rumored that
man was killed by the fall OF the Kelly
House, which fell out into the street with
out warning at three O'Clock, but this
can't be verified. The adjoining stores OF
Beaupre, Allen 4 Keogh, and the tempor-
ary building Of Averback, Finch, .Culbert-
son & Co., burned out last winter, were
saved with great difficulty. Beaupre,
Allen & Keogh suffered y loss OF $4,000,
covered BY insurance. The buildings oc-
cupied BY Averill, Russell & Carpenter
