honey or any American citizen money to quit
the country.
Gladstone announced that tomorrow he
would move that the repression bill have prec-
edence over all other business until its con-
sideration is concluded.

morrow that Gladstone's resolution in regard
to the repression bill shall also apply to the
arrears bill. Gladstone then moved second
reading of the arrears bill
The house was very crowded when he made
his motion.
Gladstone said it was impossible to compel
the people to borrow, and therefore the money
supplied by the government must be a gift.
He stated that there are $4,000 tenants in
Ireland paying under thirty pounds rent.
Griffith's valuation, and of those two hundred
thousand are excluded from the benefits of
the land act by being in arrears. This, he
said, must be remedied. He admitted that
the proposal was extraordinary, but SO was
the state of affairs in Ireland.

the exceptions in the Guteau case, would be
read this morning, attracted an unusual gath
ering at the circuit court room.

took their places upon the bench. Soon after
the formal opening of the court, Justice James
said:

the decision in the case of the United States
against Charles J. Guiteau, upon the excep-
tons to the judgement of the criminal court"
He then read from manuscript the decision
of the court. AT its conclusion, Judge James
said although the court was unanimous in the
| views set forth, there were some questions
which it was desirable to discuss more fully
| than could well be done in the opinion he had
just read, and Justice Hagner had consented
to discuss those questions in a separate
opinion.
Justice Hagner then read his opinion, and
chief Justice Carter made the following an
| nouncement:
"The opinions which have here been utter
ed are the unanimous opinions of the court
that new trial is denied, and the judgment
below affirmed in this case"
The court then adjourned.

HORRIBLE SUFFERING AMONG JEWISH REFU-
GEES.

dent at Brody says the condition of the ews
there is more terrible than previous telegram
led the people to suppose. Complaint has
been made against the Liverpool relief COM

with large families are left at Brody.
Starvation is increasing, and sickness is wide

progressing, and the Jews are selling the
whole of their property at any cost and hurry

relief committee of that town to commence
disbursing funds hitherto held back.

destruction of their property obliged to emf
CRATE, as they are no longer able to assist vol
untary emigrants.
MIKE DAVITT TALKS.
Michael Davtt, addressing meeting of
Irishmen at Manchester, said that nobody la
mented the recent murders more than he, and
nobody was reader than he to prevent such
deeds in the future. He declared that with
out the presence of the police and the military,
the property of the Irish landlords would not
be worth months purchase. He said there
could be no alliance between Irshmen and
the English wings until landlordsm was COM
pletely abolished. The government could
not grapple effectually with a secret move
ment when it was made to appear that it was
only for the protection of wronged people,
He declared that if Mr.. Gladstone was ear

suppress all agrarian .-outrages, remove
landlorlism, sweep away Dublin Castle. and
show that he could repose the same confidence
in Ireland, as in Canada.
