The Lords and the Arrears Bill
The Irish COnsasbUIary Strike
The Trial of Walsh Begun.

LONDON, August 7.-The Daily NeaOs says
"In the event of the House of Lords per-
sisting on the Marquis Of Sslisbury's amend
ment to the arrears of rent bill, Parliament
will be prorogued, and will reassemble i'm
mediately, when the arrears bill will be re-
introduced and sent up to the House of Lords
for reconsideration. Should it again be r, :
iected it is probable that the county franchise
bill will be introduced. Should that bill pass
the House of Lords, the enlarged constitu-
eDcies will be at once appealed to. Should
1t be rejected, an appeal would be made to
the country against the rejection and de-
feat of the arrears bill, and dissolution of
Parliament would probably take place in
December"
The recommendation of the Land Com
missioners for the amendment of the land
act is published. They advise that greater
powers shall be given them to set aside
leases which are unfair In themselves, even
If not Inconsistent with the land act of 1870,
and that tenants should be able to obtain a
revision of exorbitant rent, even though It
be secured by a lease.
In the House of Commons this afternoon,
Mr.. Trevelyan, Chief Secretary for Ireland.
denied that some of the Irish constabularV
had refused to go on duty. He said there is a
feeling OF discomfort In the force because of
the delav in the distribution of the recent
grant, 9lSO,OOO, for extra pay. The gov
eminent do not intend to do anything in the
matter until the police withdraw from
agitation on the subject.
The trial of Thomas Walsh, arrested at
the time OF the recent seizure of arms at
Clerkenwall, has begun. Walsh pleaded
mot guilty"

LONDON, August THE Mark Lane Ez-
press, in Its review OF the British grain trade
during the past week, says: "Grain has
ripened very rapidly. If the weather holds
good, the larger proportion of wheats will
be in the shear by the end of the week. All
descriptions of bresdstuffs have been dun
and slow Of sale. Foreign wheat has shown
languid demand, and prices have de-
clined about Cd. American red wheats de-
clined 6d. to Is. on Friday. Flour
Is duh and unchanged. Maize in
London continues scarce. and prices on Fri
day were rather higher. There was rather
better inquiry for oats, and rates were
irmer. The cargo trade is at stand-still
for want Of supplies. There were two fresh
arrivals. About twenty-four wheat cargoes,
nearly all white wheat, are due this week.
Wheat on passage or for shipment is spar
ingly dealt in. Prices are rather against
buyers. The sales Of Euglish wheat during
the past week were 1854 quarters, at Sis.
3d., against 1918 quarters, at 46s. 81. dur
ing the corresponding week last year"

GREAT FIRE IN MAINE.
The Business Portion of Gardiner
GutEed.

GARDINER, Me-, August THE most ex
tensive eoDhagration that ever visited Gardi-
ner began little before seven O'Clock this
evening in Moore s. Browns planning mill
on Bridge street, near Water. A cluster of
factories are located on the lower dam on
Cobosse street. At this point the wind blew
the flames sway from the main business
street upon the saw mills and foundry.
Owing TO the protracted drought and the in
fammable nature of the buildings, this part
OF the city was perfect tiuder-box, and
in a few minutes the row of factories
along Bridge street was in flames. 1t was
found that the local fire depar ment was in
adequate to cope with the flames, and help
was called from the adjoining towns, which
responded promptly. A high wind now set
In, and drove the fire with great furv down
Bridge street, destroying a number of
tenement houses, The fire made a clean
sweep OF the east side of Bridge street,
and then leaped across that thoroughfare
into High, Middle and Spring
streets, which run at right angles.
These three streets were crowded with resi-
dences, mostly OF wood, many OF them be-
Ing occupied by people OF the labOring class.
Ihe engines experienced great difficulty in
getting water and could make no
stand against the advancing fame.
The fire burned all the way up
High street to the Methodist Church,

hre swept off to the northward, DESTROYING
dwellings along Middle and Spring streets,
a thteklY populated district. Many families
saved only the clothing in which they es-
capped from their burning homes. Houses
were torn down to stay the progress of the
hre. which was got under control about
hall half way down Spring street. Loss $780,
