gained on her a good deal. We
reached Singapore just as the Glen.
eirtny was leaving, and didn't see
or hear of her till we were half way
through the SueZ canal. She
reached Suez day behind us. We
would have been further ahead If q
terrific southwesterly storm had not
delayed us in the Indian ocean.
Those white streaks that cover the
smokestack were made by waves
that broke over the vessel. We had
good weather through the Medi-
terrsnean, but were delayed by the
machiery getting out of order. The
Glen got into Gibraltar just as we
we're leaving there. Extra coal
and work were used In crossing the
Atlantic, and moderate weather
helped us. just as we sighted
Sandy Hook we thought a ves'
sci in the distance ahead OF US was
the Glen, but we were happily dis.
appointed. Our rival came into
New York six hours behind us, and
that's not very big difference in a
race of 14,O00 miles. We made an
average of eleven knots an hour"

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-Ths Her.
AIDS London special has the fol-
lowing account of the suspension
of Parnell from the Commons. Mr..
Justin Mccarthy called attention
to the imprisoned Land Leaguers,
asking for an opportunity to pre-
sent their case 10 Parliament. Mr..
Gladstone replied, after some de-
lay, that the Irish members would
have ample opportunity to discuss
the arrests on the estimates. This
reply annoyed Mr.. Parnell, who
rose aud denounced the conduct of
the ministry in continuing to hold
in prison men who are the true au-
thors of the land bill, while
at the same time they admit
the Justice of the claims
put forth on behalf of The tenaut
farmers and the absolute necessity
for REFORM. For this conduct Mr..
Parnell declared the ministry and
the Parliament to be tyrants and
oppressors. Mr.. Gladstone and Sir
Stafford Northcote rose simultane-
ously to call the Speakers atten-
tion to this language, but Mr.. Par
nell went on vehemently, paying
no attention to the Speaker. He de.
clared that he cared nothing for the
House of Commons.
Mr.. Gladstone moved his suspen'
sion, but before the question could
be put Mr.. Parnell said that he
would not wait to zee the fares
played out, and then withdrew be-
fore his formal suspension, which
was ordered Immediately afterward
by an overwhelming majority.
