Gladstone and ScOtIISh Tenants -
The Debate on Ihe Repression Bill
-DaVlII Denounced.

LONDON, June 2L-Mr. Gladstone, re-
ceiying deputation of Scottish farmers to-
day, spoke strongly in favor of compensa-
tion for improvements made by tenants and
the abolition of entail, though he despaired
of legislation on the subject this year.
In committee, on clause IL Of the repres-
sion bill in the House of Commons last
evening, Mr.. Gladstone stated that the
government proposed to introduce words
limiting the power of police search at night
to occasions when there is reasonable sus-
pciOn that secret society is actually holding
meeting. The Irish members accepted this
as a reasonable and important concession.
Clause IL was adopted by vote Of 259 to
45
In the House OF Commons to day, Mr..
Trevelqsn, Chief Secretary for Ireland, In
opposing various limitations to the right OF
search, appealed to the members to expe-
dite the repression bill, Every day, he said
gave the Irish executive fresh reason to
regard the position OF the country with dee p
and Incl easiOg anxiety, and added seriously
to the responsibility of those who prolonged
the disc ssion.
The Globe says there is every reason to be-
lieVe that Thomas Walsh, who was arrested
last Saturday In connection with the seizure
OF arms and ammunition in ClerkenWell
will be tried for high treason.
The police precautions for the safety of
Mr.. Gladstone, which were recently allowed
to lapse, have again been resumed
DUBLIN, June 21-Mathew Harris, q

of the Irish nationallsts throughout the
world, and of sowing discord and disunion
among the IIish.
It is STATE d that an extensive seizure OF
arms and ammunition has been made in
James street In a low part OF this city.

SAN FRANCE. co, June 2l-The following
adv!ces from Hong Kong and Shanghai to
May 26th have been received. Serious dis
cussion is reported as progressing in Tsung
Lyamen upon the course to be pursued
respecting the American anti Chinese
action. One party is said to welcome It as
sfTording an opportunity for sever
ing all relations with the United
States. The majority propose to
await further developments, but all agree
in declaring that ChinA's rights have been
ruthlessly disregarded and that the Amtri-
can Government has op ned itself to ratslia
tory action, If such be deemed expedient-
At Tien T ,in the question is raised wheth r
Chinas assistance in the Corean negOtia-
tious should not be summarily Withdrawn,
as 1t is believed that Commodore S1ufeldt
could not proceed conveniently with
out C5ina's co operation. In ad-
ditIon to the i'll feeliug caused
by the em'grant law, mucn irritation Is
felt over the tpubiication of letter, at
tribufed 10 Commodore Shu'eidr, in which
the Empress Is accused with immortality,
and but for China's known slowness to act
suddenly on provOcation troublesome con-
,equences might be spprehended. In the
best view of affairs it is plain that diplo
matte intercourse at Pekin will require very
cautious handling.
