IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
me cattle and Canal Questions the
Subject of Discussion.


LONDON, July 30.-In the House of
commons this afternoon Mr.. Dodson said
That the government would consider the
subject of appointing commit
tee on the cattle disease at the next
session. 1t was receiving, he said, def
mite reports in regard to it from the
American Government and from the
British Consuls abroad.
Premier Gladstone said that before any
action was taken in regard to the second
SueZ canal the House should have an on
portunlty of expressing its opinion on the
SUBJECT. The government, he said, de-
sired merchants and shippers to have am
pie time to consider the matter. The
government does not intend an early re-
neWal Of negotiations, as it is hopeless to
consider the question fairly as long as it
is entangled in politics.
In the House of Commons tonight Sir
stanford Northcote, Conservative, moved
an address to the Queen, praying that in
any negotiations relative to the SueZ
canal she would decline to recognize any
claim OF the Suez Canal Company to such
monopoly as would exclude other under
takIngs designed for the purpose of open-
ing a way between the Mediterranean
ana Red seas. The motion was received
by the Tory members with loud cheers.
sir stafford NorthcOte begged for calm
discussion of the motion, which, he said,
was not of party character. He wished
to do nothing to discredit the government.
Ho only asked the House to express such
an opinion as would relieve it from the
embarrassment arising from practical
recognition of the monopoly of the Suez
Canal Company by some members of
the government. Mr.. Norwood, Liberal,
offered an amendment declaring that it
was undesirable to prejudge the action of
the government, and that the House de-
clned to pass resolutions concerning fur
ther negotiations or the proceedings in
connection with the canal. Mr.. Glad
stone, amid applause, cordially supported
MIR. NorwOOd's amendment.
Sir Stafford Northcote's motion was re-
Jected and Mr.. Norwood's motion in the
nature of an amendment to the former,
was adopted by a vote of 2S2 to 1873. The
Parnell members abstained from voting.

CHICAGO, July 30.-General Sheridan,
General Grant and a number of other
gentlemen LETT here by special train this
morning for Louisville, where they are to
meet President Arthur at the opening of
the Exposition in that city. They will
return to Chicago on Wednesday and
join in reception to be rendered to the
President on Thursday.
WASHINGTON, July 3O.-The President
and all the members of his Cabinet are
out of the city, and the various depart
ments are beng run - subordinates.
This Is responsibility which officials
are accustomed to, and it is not likely
that the public business will suffer. 1t is
seldom except in midsummer that the
President and his entire Cabinet
are away from the city at one time.
but there is hardly month
passes when some head of the department
is not absent, and business devolves upOn
a subordinate. The wheels of government,
however, manage to revolve. At present
MIR. French is acting Secretary of the
Treasury, Admiral Nichols, of the Navy.

Davis of State, Mr.. JOslyn of the Interior.

There is no one filling the Presidents
place just at present. A number of sub
ordinate officials have taken this oppOrtu-
nifty to go off on their vacation, and de-
partmental life is at its lowest ebb.

A SEQUENCE OF CRASHES.
Several Shoe Manufacturers and Tan
neries go to the Wall.

Boston, July 30.-The Journal states
that Charles W. Copeland & Co., shoe man.
ufacturers, have indefinitely suspended.
and that their liabilities will amount to
SI5O,OO0. The firm says it has sufficient
assets to cover the above amount. The
firm has several New York connections,
and some Of the liabilities are due in that
city. The failure is said to be due to the
sudden pressure Of several large Obliga-
tlons, and the firm, in justice to
its creditors, decided to suspend
operations until an understanding can be
arrived at. The Journal also saws that
Stedman d Co., shoe dealers, of New
YORK, have suspended in connection
with Copeland d Co., of which house they
are branch. 1t is also announced here
that w. n. TOler & Co., shoe dealers. of
Baltimore, have suspended in connection
with the Copeland failure, and that HOf-
heImer u Son, of Norfolk, Va, are in
trouble from the same cause.
Boston, July 30.-The journal saws:
''F. Shaw 81 Bros, the largest tanners in
the world, made an assignment to +. A.
Wyman to-day. Their total liabilities
cannot be given, but their assets are
stated to be about $5,00O,O0O. They were
creditors to Charles w. Copeland q co. to
the amount of 100000"
Inc lldDlllJleS OF +. shaw ~ Co, are
stated by the counsel of the firm to be
$3,5OO,OO0 and the nominal assets $5.OOO,-
600. The assets include tanneries in
Northern Maine, New York, New Bruins
wick and Quebec and 100000 acres of
land in Maine. There were 10000 to To-
900 people employed by the firm. The
immediate cause Of the failure was the
suspension of Copeland & Co., who owe
Shaw Brothers $400, 900. The failure
can be traced to the suspension of
the Pacific Bank a year ago. Shaw
Bros, at the time the bank collapsed,
held a number of shoe and leather firms
above water and have been carrying them
ever since, and those firms will probably
be heard from in a few days. The credit
0rs of Shaw II Co. are chiefly Maine, Bos-
ton and New York banks and some of the
largest hide and leather houses in this
city. The tanneries of the firm will be
kept running to work UP the stock, which
is six months behind on orders.
CHICAGO, July 30.-JOseph Pratt, of
Joseph Pratt Company, wholesale manu-
facturers of boots and shoes of this city,
has made an assignment. No schedule
has been filed. The liabilities are esti-
mated at from $4,000 to 100000. The
assets are estimated at from $4,000 to
$4,000. He operates factory at Michi-
san City, Indiana, with convict labor.

the Browning Sunday law yesterday were
livery stables, cigar stores, barber shops,
hackmen, theatres, newspaper men from

In police circles it is said that next Sun
day the line will be closely drawn and
arrests will perhaps be made. No dis
turbances are reported, the popular dis
content confining itself to words. 1t is
said that combination has been formed
to resist the law, and prominent lawyers
have been retained to carry the cases if
necessary into the United States Supreme
Court. 1t is estimated that 1000 barrels
of beer were sold Yesterday. which. at IS
per barrel, paid the brewers $4,000 To
this add the wines and liquors sold and
the outlay of the consumers reached fully
100000.
This morning 236 warrants were sworn
out against viOlatOrs of the Sunday law.
These were Otfenses in the Central Police
district of the city. Other districts will
be taken up tomorrow. The prosecuting
attorney has decided to drop the cases

TORONTO, July 30.-There seems to be
no doubt that the person who arrived in
Montreal under the name of O'NeiIl. is
Carey, the Irish informer. Carey is said
to be stopping at an out-of-the-way hotel.
and has kept in the house very closely
since his arrival. A watch is kept on his
movements, and it is stated that he has
got hints from those who would not like
to see murder committed to move on.

gers who were destined to Port Elizabeth.
Natal and other coast ports, TO the steam
snip MelrOSe. Ihe report OF the shooting
of Carey aroused intense excitement in
the west end of London and in the House
of Commons.
Later advices about the killing of James
Carey show that he was shot while land
ing from the steamer Velise at Port
Elizabeth. O'Donnell, his slayer, is in
custody. The government had taken
special and expensive measures to pro-
tect Carey,
1t appears that O'DonnelI logged Carey
from London. Both sailed in the steamer
kinfauns Castle. The DaiIy Teleqrdpb
says that the government has little doubt
that Carey was followed from Dublin.
They believe that his friends had taken
the most elaborate measures to
prevent his escape. According
to the latest accounts the murder
occurred at sea. Carey was not killed
outright, but died shortly after he was
shot. ODonnell surrendered himself
quietly. He was placed in irons and was
handed over to the police when the Mel
rose arrived at Port Elizabeth.

The Distinguished PreIate in New York
and His Future Plans.


and His Future Plans.
NEW YORK, July 30.-MOnsignor Capel,
the famous Catholic prelate, who arrived
here yesterday, called this morning upon
Cardinal McCloskey and Archbishop
COrrigan at noon, and had a brief inter-
view with each. He left the city at 4
O'Clock for Burlington, N. j., where he
will make a short visit to some friends.
During his stay here he proposes to lee
ture in some of the principal cities on
secular and religious subjects. Among
other things, he will lecture on
art, painting, travel, education.
and Catholicism. One of the principal
objects of his visit is to study American
institutions and observe their influence
upon the growth and development of the
Roman Catholic religion. He will travel
extensively throughout the West, going,
probably, to San Francisco; and during
his journeying he intends to carefully
study the American educational system,
of which, he says, he has high opinion.
He will preach frequently.
