one for the conservatives. If they work

In the commons this afternoon Gladstone
denied that the arrears of rent law had
proved failure. The full benefits of its
provisions. he said, had not yet been ascer-
tanned. The government did not intend to
introduce a bill to extend the period for
the payment of rent of 1881. He desired
the decision of the government to be uni
versalIy known.
After desultory discussion, sustained
by the Irish members, Trevelyar. chief Sec
rotary for Ireland, said there was still a
period of five weeks for tenants to take
advantage of the arrears Of rent act The
land commission had prophesied that the
bulk of applications would come at the last
moment. If this should be the case
much larger sum than e25O,OOO would be
needed to meet the claims. 1t was most
important, he said, that the people should
know the time originally mentioned
In. the arrears act would be
| strictly adhered to. Costs against
tenants for ejectment were very light ex-
cept when increased by their own fault
acting III some instances on bad advice
The arrears of rent act was the greatest
benefit parliament had ever extended to
an unfortunate class of people. 1t would
be giving them more than they expected if
the outstanding costs were paid. Up to
the % inst, evictions were only half those
IN any previous month during the year.
The government, Trevelyan said,would not
underestimate the distress along the west
coast OF Ireland, and he would not cease TO
watch for evidences of suffering until
| the next harvest has been
gathered. He had ordered most
minute reports from seven COMMITTEES. The
government did not intend to advance
money for public works, as that would be
most extravagant method of relief, and
would afford no real alienation of districts.

OGO persons were fed for six months by
direct poor law relief for 100000 That
sum would feed them only six weeks by
means OF public works enterprises. The
government now intended to conduct
system of relief with an efficiency that
would give the most positive as
surance to the people that thew
would not starve. Gibson, member for
Dublin university, criticised the arrears of
rent act. He said there was real distress
in west Ireland, but as yet there was no
reason to dread famine. Parnell withdrew
his motion for adjournment He said the
government was now fully warned of the
state of things that might supervene in
Ireland Though distress during the win
ter.
In consequence of G,adstone's DECLARE
ton Parnell, supported by over 100 mem
bers, the new rule requiring only over
thirty, moved and adjournment of the
house. Parnell commended that in conse-
quence of the provisions introduced into
the arrears of rent act as concession to
the landlord interest it was rendered am
biguous, and that it was impossible for any
tenant to know how much rent he had to
pay in order to secure it's advantages.
The tenth procedure rule was carried by
vote of twenty eight to twenty-six. This
rule provides that if the speaker or chair
man of the committee of the whole of
the house should be of opinion a motion
for adjournment of debate, or of
the house during any debate, or that
chairman do report progress, or to leave
the chair, is made for the purpose of OBJ
struction, he may forthwith put the ques-
ton thereupon from the chair.
The Times states that Monday next when
the commons ought to commence discus
sion of the rules relating to standing COM
mittees, Asheton Cross will move that it is
lnexpedient to consider the proposed rules
at this period of the session. It is report
ed that should the ministry refuse to post
pone the subject the rules will be very
freely discussed.
