The House of COmmons.

LONDON, June An the house of
commons the under foreign secretary
stated that the commander of the
men-of-war "Dryad" and Dragon"
now In Madagascar water, had been
instructed to consult as o what
measures were necessary to be taken
to protect the lives and property of
British subjects in Madagascar.
Kennard asked whether the govern
ment would represent that the regis
tratiOn of the new set of claims at
Washington, by the the Alabama

COnspiracy-The InfOrmers must
Leave.
DUBLIN, June A conspiracy to
murder, a Carrick-on-Suir, county
Tipperary, has been discovered. 1t is
expected a number of arrests will
follow.
James Carey and other informers
who testified at the trial of the
Phoenix park murderers, have been
notified that they must indicate a
place out of the country to which
they wish to be sent. Carey pro-
tested that he would remain in Dub
lin, but the authorities pointed out
that he would receive no protection,
and that on no condition would he be
allowed to remain in Ireland. It is
inferred from this action that extra
dition proceedings in the eases of
Walsh, Sheridan and Tyner are col
lapsing.
The Second Canal.
PARIS, June AT a meeting of
the Suez canal company to-day the
proposal to examine into the project
for construction of second canal
across the isthmus was adopted unan-
imously. De LesSeps assured the
meeting that the English directors
were giving liberal assistance, and
propheSied that another canal
would be built De Lesseps stated
that the improvement now being
made at cost of 30.000,0O0 francs
would suffice for a traffic of 1O,OO0,O0
tons yearly. The company had deci-
ded year ago to undertake the build
ing of the second route. They could
accomplish this within the limits of
their own time. They could complete
the operations more quickly and con-
veniently if Egypt would grant new
concessions.

DR.. Mallnt..

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
gives currency to the following bit of
gossip:
DR.. Mallet, who last July left the Univcrsi-
ty OF Virginia 10 accept proiossership in
the University of Texas, will return next
summer TO his profo'sorship In the Virginia
institution, and will receive the same emol-
uments and perform the same duties as be-
fore. The trustees of the latter college ac-
ceptcd his proposition to this effect with
great pleasure.
This same rumor, 1t will he remem-
bered, prevailed in Texas a short time
ago. 1t was speedily denied, however,
and assurances rendered the public
that Prof. Mallet, while in receipt of
the request to return to Virginia (and
which he had seriously considered),
had decided to decline il, casting his
fortunes with theuniversity Mt Austin.
He is president of the faculty of the
Texas institution, receiving larger re-
Enumeration than any other professor
in the university. 1t is conceded that
he is II valuable acquisition, and hopes
have been freely expressed that he
will remain here.

Irregular Terms of Federal Courts.

Hon. A. j. Evans, United States dis
trict attorney for the western district
of Texas, is after Judge Turner for fail
ing to hold United States court at
Brownsville. Mr. Evans says that
Judge Evans dislikes to make the trip
to Brownsville, and on one preteXt or
another generally manages to get out
of ii, having held but two terms of
court at Brownsville since he went on
the bench. We are not advised as to
Judge Turner's explanation of this
sighting of his specific duties that is,
If Evans charge is true) but the mat
ter is one Of some Importance in n gen
eral way. Without reference to what
Judge Turner has or has not done, il
lows his district and circuit judges n
vast deal of discretion in the discharge
of their judicial duties. They take
things pretty easy, and it is by no
means Il rare occurrence that they put
litigants and witnesses to real incon-
venience and considerable expense by
either falling to hold the court at the
usual time, or curtailing the duration
of the term. Every lawyer or citizen
who has had much experience with
the federal courts, will bear witness to
the liberal use the judges make OF the
very liberal discretionary power they
enjoy as to opening and closing their
courts. The state obviates all difficult
ties of this kind. When the district
judge (state) finds 1t inconvenient or
impossible to open his court at the time
prescribed by law, he frequently gets a
brother judge, usually Of an adjoining
district, to mount the bench in his
stead. Failing to do this, the bar of
the district have IN ever available
remedy in the election of special
judge. But in the federal districts no
such resource Is ut hand, and If the
judge, from whatever cause, fails to
put in an appearance, that settles it,
litigants, witnesses and lawyers wait
until the next term. 1t Is easy enough
to see how this may cause serious in
convenience and pecuniary loss TO o
large number of persons in the dis.
trict. Attorney Evans says he will
memorialize congress for the enact
ment of law making 1t compulsory
ON the federal judges to hold their
stated terms of court. He might 20
further than this, and urge some
method of supplying the Judges place
In case he does not hold the stated
term. 1t is only fair TO presume that
the Judges do not always fail of their
duty on unjustiflable accounts. A
judge may be sick, or kept at home on
perfectly reasonable and deiensible
