Exciting Scenes i'm Parliament.

Thursday, Feb. 3, viii long be remembered
by the present members of the British house
of commons. as having witnessed the most ex-
citing session of that august body that has oc-
CURED for many years. An almost continuous
session of two days had been in progress, owing
to the extreme efforts of the Irish or Home
Rule element to obstruct the passage of the
coercion measures. Finally the speaker took
advantage of an almost unused technicality of
the rules and '.named " John Dillon as defying
the chair and obstructing legislation. A motion
to suspend him was promptly put and carried,
and he was forcibly removed by the sergeant-at-
arms. Soon after, Charles Stewart Parnell, for
similar causes, was ''named," suspended and
elected. The same was then applied to Finne-
gan. In all cases the Home Rulers refused to
vote. The speaker had their names taken
down, and the entire number, twenty-seven,
were suspended and elected from the hall of
the house. The suspension of Dillon was on
motion of Mr.. Gladstone. The expelled mem
bers held a meeting at once and decided to
issue a manifesto to the Irish people, denounc-
ing the conduct of the house, but advising the
populace to keep within the lines of constitu-
tiOnal action.

origin outside the academy. The Repub

enforced retractions with the contempt be

All the published accounts of the re
ception given at DsImonico's on Saturday
evening by the United States lnternation
al Commission to Gen. Grant concur il
Representing it ss an exceedingly tam
affair. The subscriptions reported
amounted to only 1922. 500 toward the
$1,000 900 required to secure even a com
meneement Of the undertaking-to sal
nothing Of the further millions which viii
be needed to carry 1t out-aDd when G
few additional sums were announced the
capitalists present began to beat retreat
in order to avoid being called upon.
Nothing but the announcement of supper
prevented a general stampede. and the
discussion of champagne and oysters
brought the proceedings to an abrupt
close.
The truth is, the people of this city do
not want the proposed Worlds Fair. No
body will profit by it, pencuniarIly, except
the railroad companies and the hotel
keepers, and even they have so much
business already that they care little for
more, No proper and convenient site for
it has yet been found, and, in our opinion
none can be found, As machine for
keeping Gen. Grant before she public eye,
and for hosting into notoriety the fussy
citizens who hang on to him, it might
serve tolerably we'll, but that Is not suff-
cient reason for wasting Some $4,000 900
or 5000. 900 on it. for it would. after all.
be only a.magnifed American Institute

The speculation is evidently at the point
of death. Let it go on and die. and be
buried out of sight
