THE PARLIAMENrARY DEADLOCK.

temperate Judgment of rational men Is unanl
nous. that the differences between the houses
ought to be compromised. Nor is there In
slightest reason to believe that fair, moder
ate, and practical arrangement is out OF In
question
The News says if Gladstone resigns ne woult
make the peers out to be masters OF 'ne ,,,S sit
uation. If the vote of the legislators couie
at any moment oyerbear the decision OF TN
country, parliament and government woult
become a farce. The same may be SAID OF
dissolution of parliament, and general eiec'
ton. The News discredits the idea OF con
ference between the two houses.
LORD SALISBURY.
The several Irish conservative peers have
urged Lord Salisbury to withdraw his opposl'
tion to the land bill on the ground that the
rejection of the bill would be followed by q
great agitation, which would probably entail
upon them greater losses from non-paynen!
of rent than they have yet sustained. LORD
Salisbury advised the peers at meeung Ell
day to adhere to all their amendments, op tne
ground that it would only be BY doing so that
they could force the government to make con-
sessions.
AN EARL's PROTEST.
Earl Pembroke writes to the Times, pro-
testing against the cry being raised that the
amendments of the lords to the land bill are
an attack on the principle of the bill. He
saws this is not true in regard to one single
amendment, except that dealing with the ter
mination of existing leases, and that amend
ment only restores the bill to the shape IN
which it enters the commons. Inc 0osCinate
injustice of the government towards Inc iana-
lords, he says, is some cause OF tne deadi@ck.
LOOP HOLE FOR THE PEERS.
The ministers have determined to allow the
peers a loop hole for escape from the menacing
dilemma in which they are placed in reference
to the land bill, on one or two minor points:
The concessions will be made so as TO afford
the peers an opportunity for timely retreat
under cover of partial success.
CROPS. tf
The agricultural Gazette says: "Accord-
ing to returns from our correspondents, OF
the number of acres under wheat, about 81
per cent. give The average yield, and about
81 ner cent. give under, and s per cent.
over. The average of oats is very disapoint-
ing. Beans, peas, and green crops are better
than they at one time promised. :"
LAND LEAGUE CONVENTION.
Great preparations is making for the land
league convention at New Castle, the 29th. JUS
tice Mccarthy will preside. Dillon is ex-
pected. Delegates from each branch OF the
league of Great Britain will be present. Far
nelI will make a statement in regard to the
future policy and action OF the home-rule
members of parliament.
THE COMMONS FIRM.
Gladstone was loudly cheered ON arrival at
the house OF commons this afternoon by
a large crowd assembled at the entrance. The
galleries were crowded, a large number OF peers
being present. Various petitions were present.

lords impairing the protection afforded ten.
ants by the land bill Gladstone, replying to
Parpell, said there woule be no preliminary
consultation with respect to the land bill, but
that the house would proceed to consider the
amendments of the lords forthwith. Healy,
home ruler, said he foresaw
the germs of surrender in GladstOne's failure
to make distinct statement. Gladstone said
he die not wish to have the word compromise
applied to proceedings of the government
The house, he said, had trusted the govern
ment SO far, and he would continue to trust
the house Thereupon it was agreed to pro-
ceed with the consideration of the amendments
to the land bill, and, on motion of Gladstone,
the first amendment of the lords, excluding
from the right Of free sale tenancies on which
permanent improvements had been made by
the landlord, was disagreed to.
The last amendment to the house OF lords
striking out the provision for staying pro-
ceedings for debt, was adopted, l96 to ~.
After severe remarks on the part OF the Par
nellites against the government, committee
was then appointed to draw up resolutions
for the action of the house.
After Gladstone had answered Parnell, Dill
wyn, liberal, said he sincerely hoped no ma
teral concession would be made to an ire
sponsible body like the house of lords. Daniel
Grant. liberal, said he would feel it his duty,
If large concessions were made, TO vote
against the government.
Gladstone replied he was not surprised at
these statements and said it was unnecessary
to repeat the declarations he had already made
respecting the main principles of the bill.
Gladstone assented to the amendment of the
lords authorizing the land court, if 1t saw fit,
to award the landlord who had bought up q
tenant right of holding COM
pensation out of the price
paid when the holding changed Ihands. He
also asserted to several merely verbal amend
ments and then moved to agree to the amend
ment of lhe house of lords, giving the land
lord access to the land court, where he failed
to come to an agreement with the tenant.

DOWN WITH THE LORDS.
A meeting of the federation of liberal asso-
Citations to-day in reference to the action. ol
the house of loras on the land bill, was very
unanimously attended Sir Wilfred lawson,
Mark Callingsforth and Barron, members OF
parliament, were present. Resolutions were
passed declaring the lords had mutilated the
land bill in the interest of land owners so as
to render it wholly unacceptable, and urging
the government to adhere firmly to the bill as
it finally left commons, and to
resist the dictation of class majority in the
house of lords. It was also resolved the action
of the lords raises constitutional question
tending to disruption and would compel the
country to consider the possibility Of MAN.
