BRlTAIN'S REALM.
THE REPRESSION BILL SENT TO
THE LORDS.
The Government Defeated on an
Important Amendment - Twenty
Thousand d Pounds Reward for the
PE9aix Park MuYderers.

LONDON, July 7.-In the House of Com
mons this afternoon during the debate on
the report of the repression bill, Mr.. Glad
stone said the goverDmsnt had taken meas
ures unknown to Parliament to operate
against secret societies.
An amendment was offered nv Mr.. Trevel-
yam, Chief Secretary for Ireland. TO limit
the right OF search to daytime, except in
cases OF secret societies. This was strongly
opposed by the Conservatives and others.
Mr.. Gladstone declared that IL the amend
ment was rejected he would have to con-
slider his personal position.
The amendment was rejected by vote
Of 207 to 1874
Previous to the vote, John Bright said
that II the amendment was rejected the
people throughout Ireland would feel that
at any moment their homes could be in
vaded. The Irish members, unfortunately,
were absent, In the full confidence that the
government would redeem their pledge.
II the House was determined to make the
law more severe than the government de-
sired, the result would be Injurious to Ire
land.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach accused the
government Of having two parties In the
Cabinet, which accusation Mr.. Bright de-
MED.
Mr.. Goschen said that, while he was re-
luctant to oppose the government, he did
not feel convinced by the arguments In
favor OF Mr.. Trevelysn's amendment.
Mr.. w. E. Forster said that he should
support the government, as he believed the
proposed amendment resulted solely from
well considered opinions of the Irish Gov
ernment.
When the figures were announced Mr..
Gladstone said that under ordinary circum-
stances he would have asked the House to
postpone further proceedings, but in the
remarkable state of Ireland he did not feel
that It was right to take that course.
In the House of Commons this afternoon,
Sir William Harcourt, Home Secretary, de-
MED the statement that bloOdhounds would
be used in Ireland for tracking murderers.
The report on the repression bill was fiu-
ishsd at IL D. m.
M. Trevelyan moved its third reading.
which was carried.
Messrs. Ceilings, Cowen, Labouchere and
Storey were the only dissentients.
In the House of L1rds tonight the re-
preston bill passed its first reading.
DUBLIN, June Five thousand fresh
placards, offering G20. 900 reward for the
discovery of the murderers Of Lord Frede-
rick Cavendish and Mr.. Burke, were posted
to-day.
An official return shows that 182 suspects
are now detained In prison.

The New York Freight Handlers
Strike.

New YORK, July 7.-There are constant
outbreaks occurring among the striking
freight handlers and the new men employed
in their places. This morning some of the
Italians employed on the Erie docks, while
cvming to their work, were attacked, AID
ono OF them badly cut with stones. A man,
supposed to be one of his assailants, was al
rested. An old man, for many years an en-
ploye OF the company, was also assailed and
compelled to take refuge in the Chambers
street ferry house and summon the police
before he could reach his work.
Four OF the old men resumed
work at the New York Central
and Hudson river depot this morning at the
old rates. Ihe police do not like the ap-
pearance Of things They fear great deal
of trouble next week. They say that the
strike is not strike, but that the com
iEg week will develop its full
force. The c)pdition OF affairs in the r.
ceivlng stations is about the same. Little
freight is being received, and but little
shipped. All the d. cks are crowded with
freight, which is being slowly handled. An
Italian workman 10 the Hudson River Rail-
road freight yard had his skull fractured to-
day by a stone thrown b7 some unknown
person.

No poor man need aspire to be Lord
Mayor of London. His expenses for Lord
Mayors day alone, his first day in office,
might we'll alarm him did he not possess
considerably more than competency. On
last Lord Mayors day the dinner cost
$3.50; the decorations, s., ,12S; the process
sion, 1859; the Guildhsll music, $33S;
printing and stationery, Slap, and the
general expenses were 50 ,07S; total, $l8. 500.
Of this total nearly one half, or IS, ,917, came
out Of the Lord Mayors own pocket. Mr..
Alderman and Sheriff Hanson paid "a 459
Of 1t, aud Mr.. Sheriff Ogg an equal sum.
From the City Lands Committee an even
$1,000 was contributed. Messrs. Hanson
and Ogg, 1t will be seen, contributed
together a sum equal to the contribution of
the Lord Mayor; in other words, after the
city had contributed its 81 600. the three
individuals shoaldered the remaining
$4,000. The salary of the Lord Mayor is
$4,000, into which the first day in office
thus makes large hole. Brave and self
denying beyond most men would be the one
who made this salary pay his expenses. It
is the rule that Lord Mayor far outllves
his income.

The English farmers are threatened with
