irish Conservative Peers ON the Land

tftsu conservative Peers ON the Lnud
| BllI.
LONDON, August i5.--The Daily Netcs
says :. Several Irish Conservative peers
have urged Lord Salisbury 10 withdraw op.
| position to the land bill. on the ground that
the r, trction OF the bin would be followed
by renewal OF The land agitation, which
would probably entail upon them greater
losses from rlon.psyment OF rents than they
have yet sustained. Lord Salisbury advised
the peers at their meeting on Friday 10 ad-
here TO all their amendments, on the ground
that " would only be by doing so that they
could force the Government 10 make con-
eessions."
LONDON, August 15-Tbe Earl OF Penn
broke writes otbe Times protesting against
the cry being raised that the amendments
Of the House Of Lords TO the land bill are
an attack on The principle OF the bill. lie
says this is not true In regard 10 one single
amendment except that dealing With The
termination OF existing leases, and that
amendment only resioIes the bill TO the
shape in which it entered the House Of
Commons. The obstinate injustice OF the
Government towards the land bill, be says,
Is the sole cause OF the deadlock.
The Times, In leading article, says:
The temperate judgment Of rational men
Is unanimous that the differences between
the two houses ought TO be composed nor
is there the slightest reason TO believe that
fair, moderate, aud practical arrangement
is out OF the question.
The Daily NeloS, in a leading article,
says: Ii Mr.. Gladstone resigns he would
make the peers our masters. II the vote OF
majority OF the hereditary legislators
could at any moment oyerbear the decision
OF the country parliamentary government
would become farce. The same may be
said OF dissolution OF Parliament and a
general election. The NeloS discredts the
idea Of a conference between the two
houses.
The Morning Post says: "We hope the
| irmness OF the peers will show the Gov
eminent the necessity Of concedDg the
points in dispute or proposing such nego-
tialions as may lead TO settlement. The
Liberal associations OF several large towns
have passed resolutions urging the Gov
eminent TO maintain 4 firm attitude, hut
accounts from several large cities, such as
Liverpool, Bristol, and New Castle, report
| the feeling prevalent that the matter will be
compromised"
Mr. Gladstone was loudly cheered on his
J arrival at the House this afternoon by a
large crowd assembled at the entrance of
| the House OF Commons. Tue galleries OF
| the House are crowded, and large number
OF peers are present. Various petitions
we've presented, amid cheers from the Libe-
raj side, against The House yielding 10 the
amendments OF The House OF Lords i'm
pairing the protection afforded 10 tenants by
the land bill.
