n Row at Limerick
MEMBERS or THE COMMON COUNCIL,
ENGAGED IN A wAR or HARSH
WORU2.

LoSDOS, Dec. G.--At n meeting Of
the Common Council Of Limerick to-
day it was decided to confer the free.
dom Of the city upon Mr. Dawson, the
lord mayor Of Dublin. Several Tory
and Liberal members violently op-
posed this proposition and attacked the
dominant Home Rule element, who
were the fathers Of the resolution.
During the discussion, Councillor
OCallaghan called Councillor Gadney
a rowdy. Councillor GaGney retorted
by intimating that O'CaIlaghan was
an invcterate blackguard that he had
proved himself one at every opportun-
ity, and that it was within the recoI-
lection Of every one present that Mr..
O'Callaghan had been recently sound
ly thrashed for iudulging in his low
lived propensitie..
This outburst was followed by
tremendous uproar. Every member
shouted at the same time, and the
nearest neighbor- shook their fists in
each others eyes. When quiet was
restored, the vote to entertain Mr..
Dawson was passed
N.tHttr-B4Ef.fs ,..r.r.rr.s....
The London paper. tonight refer
editorially to the row, and instance
the frequent fights and chickering's
among the members Of municipal gov
ernments in Ireland a being surely
indicative Of the total incapacity Of
the Irish for home rule.
IF they cannot decorou.ly conduct
the adairs Of a small city" they say,
"is it within the realm ofhope that they
will ever be able to carry on, with
even reasonable success, the affairs Of

MINISTER FEEEY's VIGOROUS VIEWS.
PARIS, Dec. 5.--.The yellow book
upon the ToDquin affair was dis
tributed to the members Of the Cham.
Der Of Deputies to-day. 1t contains
the Chinese memorandum which Prime
Minister Ferry, on the 2Sth ult., gave
to the Tonquin Credits Committe.
The memorandum states that France
had imposed upon AMMAN an unjust
treaty, ignoring the rights Of China;
that France had invaded AMMAN and
manifested au intention to take Bac.
Mini, the key of the Chinese Empire,
etc, and that China, while
feeling compelled 10 resist agrcs-
sion, appealed to the honor Of France
so to act as to prevent hloodshed.
Ii also contains the note Of NJ.
Ferry to the Marquis Tseng, the
Chinese ambassador, suggesting that
special power be entrusted to the mill
tary chiefs in Tonquin to effect an un.
derstsRding by which China could
surrender Bae. Mini and Soniay peace
fnlly to Admiral Courbet, and that
subsequently a defnitive settlement
could be negotiated.
The Marquis Tseng, in replying to
the latter proposition, says that he re.
grets that france regards the occupa-
tion Of Sontay and Bac-N Mini by her
troops as indispensable to the settle
ment Of the question. He also says
he fails to preceive the necessity of
France occupying these places, which,
she Is aware, the Chinese hold.
