House OF Commons


LONDON, August 20th.-In the House of
Commons last night, during the debate on the
vote for the salary of the Chief Secretary of
Ireland Parnell said that he thought Forster
was more detested by large body of the
Irish people than any of his predecessors, on
account of the manner in which he admins
tered not only the Coercion Act but the gen.
eral law of the country With regard to the
future he said that if the land bill brought
about a substantial abatement of rent the
Irish people, he thought, would make the best
of it, and would use it as an instrument for
the attainment of complete land reform.
Dawson, Redmond and Barry, Irish mem
bers, Joined in condemning Forster in Ian
guage more or less strong. Barry declared
| that Forster's name was held in execration,
| and that he had worked the Coercion Act to
stihe the Land League.
| On the vote for law charges and the cost
of criminal prosecutions, Parnell severely
criticised the recent Crown prosecutions in
| Ireland.
Healy and Others sharply attacked the con-
duct of Irish stipendiary magistrates.
| The Irish estimates have been disposed of,
with the exception of FIVE items Among
these is the vote for the constabulary.
| In the House of Commons to-day, Parnell,
| in calling attention to the re-arrest OF Mi
chael Davitt, and moving for his release from
| imprisonment, said that it was currently be-
lieved that Davitt was arrested because he
called Forster Mr.. Outrage Forster in a
speech. Parnell said this was the meanest
and most contemplate act ever committed by
any Government.
| Harcourf, Home Secretary, justified the
arrest of Davitt, and said that Davitt had
returned to Ireland, aroused the Fenians,
and used language which no Government in

that the principal Of his invention will
revolutionize propelling power by sea.
"You may call 1t q pushing machine on

scribe the principle" said the inventor to
q correspondent. Instead OF Gcrew,
as in ordinary propellers, there Is a fat
blade OF iron under the rudder, at right

in the center. The blade works
backward and iorwsrd on q hollow
shaft, with q stroke OF three feet forward

PITTSBURGH, March 25.-The pig iron
market has ruled quiet and firm during
the past week, with sales Of about 5000
tons reported at the former range. De-
sirable brands OF both mill and foundry,
being in scant supply, are held with con.
siderable tenaCity, while tho poor qualities
or "of' lots" are offered pretty freely at
easy prices. The inquiry, however, is
chiefly for the former, aud this strengthens
the confidence OF holders, who appear 10
have no apprehension Of lower prices, and
some ofthem predict that higher prices are
only the question Of little time. Oonsu.
mers continue to complain, and with good
reason, too, that the cost oil raw iron Is out
OF proportion 10 that Of the finished, and
contend that there must be radical change
before they do any good that there must
be decline on the one hand, or an I'D.
vance on the other.
In manufactured iron there is an inCreas.
Ing inquiry and a frmer feeling, but no
1uotable change In prices, and, while the
mills continue TO meet the immediate
wants OF their customers within the range
Of quotations, none Of them care to con.
tract for future deliveries, as the expert.
ence OF manufacturers generally Is against
selling ahead. We quote: Merchants bars,
2 l5s2ic card rates on sixty days time,
with 9 per cent of for cash sheet iron,
81 g Coz for No. "a, and plate and tank
iron. 2 6Os2 zoe. In nails, while business
continues backward for the season, prices
are steady, and manufacturers, 80 lar aH
we can learn, are refusing 10 make conces.
Sions, and those lots held by outsiders
have been pretty well picked up. Its con.
fldently expected that trade will be very
active when once the spring business
opens up. In wrought iron pipe, the dis
count on gas and steam pipe has been re.
duCed from OF to o. per cent, which, OIL
course, is an advance. We continue q
