THE LAND BILL IN THE LORDS
LONDON, Aug. There was large at
tendance in the house Of lords to-day. for the
second reading of the land bill. All the lead
ers were present, except Granville. who is in
disposed. Carlingford, liberal, moved the
second reading of the bill, in a long speech.
Lord Salisbury followed Lord Carlingf0rd,
and was received with loud cheers by the con-
servatives. He most severely criticized the
bill, and reviewed the past legislation for Ire
land. The government, he said, sought to
make the report of the Richmond commission
the basis fo- the bill, but the main point in
that bill was that tenants improvements were
endangered. According to this bill the land
lord could not even select site for cottages.
He became sort OF mortgages of his
own estate, with an uncertain security, sort
of head agent for a land commission,
which has bias hostile to the landlords in
terests. Lord Salisbury's speech can be sum-
married as follows; he agrees to the bill
under the circumstances, but will stand by
amendments for insertion OF clear definition
Of fair rent, for exception Of estates managed
on the English system, and tenancies of over
100 pounds yearly, from operation of the bill,
and for the maintenance OF inviolability OF
losses.
The Marques Landsdownt liberal, said he
recognized the bill as an attempt to quelk
agrariop aggression by an indiscriminate con-
cession of proprietary rights. Lord
Inchiquin, consel vative, strongly condemned
the bill. The Marquis of Waterford, conser-
vative, said the bill was one Of cOn1scation
without compensation. The whole history
of the bill, he said, showed 1t was really an
answer to the land league agitation. He
hoped the house would very considerably
amend the bill in committee.
Lord Lytton said the bill was
a revolutionary conclusion to threat of re-
belliOn and step onward in the course that
must end in either dissolution of the cOnnec-
tion between England and Ireland. The lord
president of the council defended the bill. The
Duke of Argyle moved adjournment of the
debate. Adjourned.
PARNELL SUSPENDED.
Parnell was named for offensive language
and for disregarding the authority of the
chail, and Gladstone moved his suspension for
the remainder of the sitting. Parnell rose
and interrupted him, and said he would not
go through the farce of awaiting vote, as
the speay Yer lnterfered with the freedom of dis
custom, He then quilted the house. The
motion for his suspension was carried, 139 to
IA. ParneA was named for persistiDg, In
spite of the speakers ruling, in raising the
question of Irish political prisoners, and de-
claring the authority of the commissioners
was always on the side of power.
Parnell, leaving, said: call the public to
witness, that you, Mr.. Speaker, have refused
us freedom of discussion. Gladstone said he
had never before heard such words used in
the house.
It is stated that Parnetl's action was due to
the strong expressions of dissatisfaction from
John Dillon and others, who consider efforts
should haye been made to secure their release.
When the land bill left the house of commons
the home rulers, in a meeting decided to ask
the government the right to discuss the ques-
fusal to bring it forward on going into COM
mittee of supply on the appropriation bill.
FOR AMERICA.
Thos. Fl. O'Connor is expected to start ten

of Parnell's crossing the Atlantic
grows daily more probable.

THE CROPS.
The Standard, in an article on the harvest
says the general opinion in Mark Lane is that
there is an average wheat crop in England,
and the great majority of reports from differ
ent districts confirm that estimate. The bar
lev crop cannot fail to be an average one. The
root crops are less promising than they have
been at this period for many years. Potatoes,
however, are as good as the roots are bad.
The prospects in Scotland are much less ia
vorable than in England. The most auspic-
ious report of all crops come from Ireland.
To-day is Bank of England holiday, and the
banks and stock exchange are closed.
