LONDON. July 22.-Mr. Bradlaugh has
summoned meeting Of his supporters in
Trafalgar square on the second OF August
to make an orderly protest against his
exclusion from the House of Commons.
The Standard reprints from the United T-iM
man, the Sunday DsnOcrOt, the Irish World
and Irish american column and a half of
extracts in praise and recommendation of
the outrages against England. The article
Is headed, "The Science of Dynamite "
The Standard prefaces its article as follows:
Whatever the Government of the United
States may think on the subject, the leaders
Of the Irish agitation in America regard
themselves in state of declared war with
England"
The new clause of the land bill IN regard
to arrears Of rent, which passed its second
reading In the House OF Commons last
night, provides that when { appears to the
court on the joint application Of the land
lord and tenant Of an5 holding, valued
at not more than ESQ yearly, that
the tenant bad paid the whole of
such sum as the landlord was
willing to accept as an equivalent of the
whole rent, payable In respect of the year or
tenancy previous to the passing of the act,
and that antecedent arrears of rent were
due, the commissioners might make,
In respect of such arrears, an advance not
exceeding years rent or one-half of the
antecedent arrears, whereupon court should
declare the holding to be charged with the
repayment Of the advance by rent charge
payable half yearly during fifteen years
from date, specified and calculated at eight
pounds ten shillings yearly for every one
hundred pounds advanced, this charge to
have priority, and all arrears of rent due in
respect of the holding to be released abso-
lutely.
The vote of censure which Sir Michael
Hicks Beach will move on Monday
next in the House of Commons is as fol
lows:
''That, in the opinion of the House, the
course pursued by the government in regard
to the rising In the Transvaal, which, so far
as yet explained to Parliament, has resulted
in the loss Of valuable lives without vinji-
eating the authority OF che Crown, is fraught
with danger to the future peace aud safety
Of Her MsjestV's dominion in South Africa,
and fails to provide for the fulfllment of
the obligations contracted by England to
wards the European settlers and the natives
of the Transvaal."
Mr.. Rsthbone (LlberaD will move an
amendment as follows:
"That the House, believing that the con-
tinuance of the war in the Transvaal would
not have advanced the honor or interests of
England, approves the steps taken by the
government to effect peaceful settlement,
and feels confident that every care will be
taken to guard the interests of the natives,
to provide full liberty and equal treatment
for the entire white population, and to pro-
mote harmony and good will among the
various races of South Africa"
DURHAM, July 22.-The draft Of the con
vention prepared by the Royal Commission
virtually retrocedes the whole of the Trans
vaal to the Beers. The total of the claims
which the Beers are disposed to accept does
not exceed 9500, 900. The draft has not yet
been accepted by the Beers, who are still
considering the clauses relative to the ma
ture of the finances. A Transvaal Volksraad
Is to be elected forthwith.
In the case of Clarke against Bradlaugh,
before special jury, an action to recover
9500 penalty from the defendant for
having sat and voted in the House without
taking the Parliamentary oath, the jury
to day rendered a verdict for the plaintiff.
The only question for the jury to determine
was whether the writ in this suit was sctu-
ally issued after or before Mr.. Bradlaugh
voted In the House.
