The Land Bill Deadlock.

LORDS.
LONDON. August 15.-The Earl of Pembroke
writes to the 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. He says this is not true in
regard to one single amendment. except that
dealing with the termination of existing leases.
and that amendment only restores the bill to the
shape In which it entered the House of Com
mons. The obstinate injustice of the govern
ment towards the land bill, he says, is the sole
cause of the deadlock
PRESS OPINIONS.

perate 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 and prac-
tical arrangement is out of question.
The Daily Ne,rs. in a leading article. saws: II
Mr.. Gladstone resigns he would make the Peers
our masters. If the vote of a majority of the
hereditary legislators could at any moment over
bear the decision of the country parliamentary
government would become farce. The same
may be said of dissolution of Parliament and a
general election. The Necs discredits the idea
of conference between the two houses.

their outward march through the wilderness is
continually marked by murder and bloodsted.

RIOT occurred yesterday at the annual ex-
cursiOn Of the Fulton Market Social Association,
held at Excelsior Grove, near Yonkers, N. Y. in
which score or more OF brawny armed excur-
siOnists joined. A man known as 'Fat George. {"
who works in the fish market, was terribly cut
over the head and face with the butt of large
sized revolver and other weapons. He received
also wounds about the body and it is thought
that he will die. John Shortly was jammed in
the eye, his eye hanging from the socket. He
was taken to a hospital. Several others were
injured, but not seriously. No arrests were

FROM DIVERS AND sUNDRY correspond
ents of European journals we learn that
the Pope-Lco KILLS semi-inclined to
move the Papal See to the United States,
this being the only country in the world
where civil and religious liberty is perfectly
untrammclcd and our union of States the
only Nation where he can live unmolestcd.
As the correspondents of the press know
no more about the Pope or his purposes than
does Pagan Bob, ancnt the pearly gates of
the New Jerusalem, it is safe to state that
their cablegrams and letters are but cheap
sensationalism far as they are acquainted
with facts at any rate.
We think, however, that the Pope would
find life easier in Italy, for, notwithstand-
ing the troubles incident to the inter-
meddling Of the State powers-to which he
would not be subjected in the United
States--he is still free from far more ter
rible bore: the newspaper interviewer" "

fortnight after his arrival in this country
