THE LAND BILL.

| LONDGN, aug. l2.-The land Las amend
| ed in the commons, came up for consideration
to-day in the house of lords. In clause one,
on the Duke of Argyle's amendment, exclud-
| ing from the right of free sale tenancles on
which permanent improvement has been made
by the landlord, trifling modification was
made of the provisO inserted in the commons,
| that the Improvements must be substantially
| maintained. The lords amendment, relative
| to the Ulster tenant right, which was rejected
in the commons, was reinstated by 172 to 46.
| The latest intelligence from the lords, at
| O'Clock this morning, indicates that the
| amendments of the commons are not being
| generally accepted.
LONDON, Aug. 12.-It is understood a
meeting OF conservative peers at the house of
| Lord Salisbury to-day favored a policy of
making concessions to the commons in re-
| gard to certain amendments to the land bill,
but decided to resist the restoration of the
amendment of clause 10, relating the position
Of tenaut whose lease has expired.
| The Times says: Gladstone has consulted
Sir Erskine May, the eminent parliamentarian,
as authority as to the practice to be adopted
under the peculiar circumstances likely 10
arise in connection with the land bill A
conflict between the two houses is no v con-
sidered unavoidable, and preparations are being
made accordingly.
/ VOTE ON THE LAND BILL.
LONDON, Aug. IL The vote in the COM
mons last night enormously reported as on
Lord Cairns amendment concerning unfair
| and unreasonable leases, was on Lord Lans-
doune's amendment; after the vote by which
this amendment was rejected Law, the attor-
| ney general for Ireland, proposed to amend
| the words thus restored by giving the power
| of resumption in case of revisionary lease and
when the railroad desires, bona .fde, to oc-
cupy the holding. The first amendment was
accepted, but Parnell, Healey, and others
warmly opposed the second, Healey remark
ing that resumption by the landlords would
be regarded as an eviction. Healey proceeded
to speak of the dirty work of the lords" and
described them as enemies Of the Irish people,
when the speaker called him to order. After
a long discussion Laws amendment was as
sented to by vote of 2S5 to 56
SERIOUS FOR THE MINISTRY.
LONDON, Aug. 12.-The house of lords has
finished the debate on the land bill. Their
important amendments were restored. At the
conclusion of the debate Earl Granville re-
GREETED the decision of the house of lords
Lord Salisbury objected to Earl Granville
scoldng the house. He condemned the inva
sion of private property, which the bill would
work, and hoped the house would adhere to
its decisions.
The committee appointed by the commons
to draw up reasons for disagreeing with III.
lords amendments, consists of Gladstone,
Forster, Dudson, Shawlefevre. Law, attorne,
general for Ireland, and VIM. Moore Johnson
Three members form quorum. The report
issued by the committee consists prlncipally
of the arguments used in the debate. In re
gard to one of the amendments of the honse OF
lords in maintaining the house of commons de
cision to retain the direction to the land couri
to have regard in fixing fair rent 10 landlords
and tenants interests, the committee says: II
is expedient to retain these words as Using
both landlord and tenant. Their just interests
will be served. The report also states that if
would be unjust to make q tenant suffer for
an act of waste which might be committed by
his predecessor. The lords appointed com
mittee to draw up resolutions for disagreeing
with the commons.
Gladstone held a conference with Earl
Granville and Lord Carlingford after the
rising of the house of lords, the result of
which was to take up the bill in the house of
commons Monday.
cabinet council was held to-day to con-
slider the course to be adopted by the govern
ment in regard to the land bill.
The Standard says the supporters of the
government regard the situation as very
serious. We understand Gladstone will not
give way on any points he regards as vital,

year. The house of lords will obtain an op-
portunity for reconsidering its position,
and moderate liberals and con-
servatives are privately trying to effect
compromise. If the bill collapses parliament
will be convened in autumn for the purpose of
again passing it Meantime the radical as
sociations would promote agitation against
the house of lords. When Salisbury moved
the appointment of a committee to draw up
resolutions for disagreeing with the house of
commons, Earl Granville, in asserting, ex-
pressed regret, as a private individual, at the
manner in which the opposition had shown
how little they were influenced by this great
question, and by the declaration of an i'm
mense majority of the constituency of the
United Kingdom on the subject Lord Sails
bury replied, that his party had sought to pro-
tect individuals from hardships threatened
against them by the action of the bill. What
they had done, he said, must be submitted to
the judgment of the country, ana he was
sure the country recognized in their action a
desire to protect individual rights and time
honored constitutional principles against vIo-
lent invasion. Lord Salisbury brought in
the reasons for dissagreeing in the house OF
commons, and the house adjoured.
MIR. e'LEARY's RECOMMENDATIONS.
DUBLIN, Aug. 12.-In compliance with a
request of the chief secretary for ireland in
his reply to deputation of Irish farm hborers
| which lately waited on him. Hon. K. O'Leary
has forwarded to Forster statement of the
positive grievances of Irish laborers. O'Leary
| has Travelled extensively in the United States
and Canada to obtain Information in regard to
| the condition of the working class
and has also travelled ali over
Ireland, mostly on foot. He urges the ap-
pointment of several commissioners to inqnire
| into the labor question, and advocates the dis
patch TO Ireland of properly qualified lecturers
to lecture to rural districts on matters affect
| ing the welfare of the peasautry. Improved
methods of agriculture and the rearing of live
stock, he says, might also he treated. O'Leary
thinks healthy and natural flow of emigrants,
who cannot get on in ireland, is wise, but he
opposes promiscuOus emigration and points
out the wretched accommodation for emf
grants in most American ports. Forster
replied that there are some matters in
| O'Leary's letter which, at later date, he
would wish to discuss with him.
PARNELL's ADVICE
DUBLIN, Aug. 12.-Parnell, writing to the
| editor o. .he United Ireland newspaper in the

| try, and encouragement of native manufac-
| lures the leading feature of your paper.
