BY CABLE TO THE TRIBUNE]
LONDON, Aug. 6.-The House of Lords has COM
pletod the committee work on the Land bill. The
report and the third reading will take place Mon
day, and the House of Commons will consider the
Lords amendments Tuesday. The Lords have not
made more changes than expected; sufficient,
however, to change largely the character of the
bin. The Government accepted several amendments
Tending to elucidate the bill The Lords exhibited
o tendency to facilitate the creation of peasant
proprietorship, provided the landlords are compen-
sated Their amendments restrict free sale and
increase the landlords power. The disposal of
holdings gives them the right to appeal from the
decisions of the Land Court, which virtually de-
stroys the efficacy of the court for tenants.
Tue DUKE OF ARGYLGs SECESSION.
The Tory leaders left the Duke of Argyll to direct
the chief attack against the bill. The Duke evil
IDENTIFY enjoyed the task which is generally the case
when a discontented Liberal secedes. His compari-
son of the Government to jellyfsh is likely to
stick, though it is inferior metaphor to that by
Lord Beaconsfeld of extinct volcanoes.
THE FUTURE OF THE MEASURE.
The Government is expected to make some con-
cesson regarding English-managed estates where
the landlord makes all improvements though it will
resist most other points. IVuentia opinion consld
that the bill must become a law substantially
in the form in which was created by TIE House of
Commons. The struggle between the chambers will
be sharp and will proong the session of Parliament
to the last week in August or the first week in Sep
teU.ber

II Is regarded significant and interesting that
Hartmann has found Unnecessary to leave the United
States. Englishmen do not consider that the dia-
boieal schemes emanate from political movement
worthy of the name, but believe them to be the acts
of gang of desperadOes outside the sympathy of
the American people. Even Irish Nationalsts ex-
press an abhorrence ofthe socalled dynamite war"

CHANGES IN OFFICE.
Mr.. Courtneys appoint nent in the Colonial Office
gives intense dissatisfaction to the Wings and the
Conservatives but accords with Mr.. Gladstone's
colonial policy Lord Rosebery accepted position
which is generally regarded as beneath his status,
butt is rule with Mr. Gladstone that new men
shall serve apprenticeship in the lower grades of
official service. An exception was made in the case
OF Mr.. Chamberlain because of peculiar Radical
claims Scotchmen are highly gratifed with Lord
Roseberys appointment. 1t is generally con-
sdered that Mr. Gladstone has higher work for
hirn than that Of Junior in the Home Office. He
has resigned the presidency of the Greek Committee
whose work practically closes with the cession Of
the territory.
TaE BoER SETTLEMENT CRITICISED.
The Boer convention is savagely attacked by
foreign newspapers, but the criticisms OF Mr. Glad
stones policy purely partisan.
MIR. BRADLAUGHs TACTICS.
Mr.. Bradlaugh has given notice that unless the
House Of Commons declares his seat vacant he will
again endeavor to force his entrance into it.
AS he purposely declines to say when
he will do so, the officials of the House are
making preparations to guard against
surprise. The Government has his case under con-
sideration at the present moment Tho announce
mont of the introduction of the Oahs bill next ses
sion is expected. II is impossible that the crisis can
continue much longer. The litigation continues
with Newdegate and there is possibility of Mr..
Bradlaughs losing his seat through bankruptcy.
PREMEDtTATED VIOLENCE.
Mr. Parnelps violence in the House Of Commons

mnnieations from Mr.. Dillon, who urged more ac-
uvity. Mr. Parnel issued strong "whip" for the
presence Of his supporters during the debate on the
Land bill Tuesday.
