ton of Sir Edward Reed. The builders of

LONDON, July 11.-Although the joint
committee of the house of lords and COM
mons rejected the Marquis of Landowne's
report in favor of the tunnel under the
English channel, majority of the COM
mittee differed 80 much relative to their
reasons for voting against it that they re-
frain from presenting any collective state
ment of their views to parliament.
The pauper emigrants who were re-
turned to Ireland by order of the American
authorities on the steamer Furnessia any
Spain were landed at Queenstown yester-
day. All accounts agree in describing
them as wretched class of people. One
family consisting of man and his wife
and five children were left lying on the
wharf for three hours before the officials,
who had not been advised of their coming,
provided for their wants.
In the commons this afternoon Childers
chancellor of the exchequer, stated that
the agreement arrived at between the gov
ernment and DeLesseps providing for the
construction of another SueZ canal had
been signed. The new canal would be
completed at the end of the year 1888.
England, he said, would lend the canal
company $8,0O0,00O at 81 per cent. inter
est, the loan to be redeemable in fifty
years. The government would endeavor
to obtain fresh concession of land from
Egypt and an extension of the original
concession for ninety nine years.
Gladstone, in reply to Sir Stafford
Northcote, said when the French occupied
Tamative, Madagascar, and proclaimed
state of siege, the British consul was
suffering from serious illness, which the
political crisis aggravated. His secretary
was arrested in his presence. Admiral
Pierre, the French commander, ordered
the sick man to leave Tamative within
twenty -four hours. The consul died seven
hours after receiving the notice. Admiral
Pierre also stopped communication be-
tween the British man-of-war Dryad,whic
was stationed there, and the shore, and the
captain was only allowed to make a verbal
protest against this proceeding. The flags
of all foreign consuls were hauled down.
Gladstone also stated that an English mis-
sionary named Shaw had been arrested at
Tamative and placed in prison. The charge
against him was not known. Inquiries
were made regarding its nature, but the
the only answer received was that the law
must take its course Gladstone in con-
clusion said: sin announcing these
grave and painful occurrences, 1 can
now only say that We must await the receipt
of further details. We must also await
those communications from the French
government which the case may require,
which we have intimated we expect, and
which it would be our duty to make under
similar circumstances" Gladstone's re-
marks were followed by cheers.
The statement created a painful i'm
preston in the house. While the proceed
ings of the French are calculated to strain
the present relations of England and
France, it is not generally believed
serious rupture will ensue. No reply to
the demand upon the French government
for an explanation made by the British
foreign secretary has been received up to
the hour of adjournment of the house.
1t is generally expected that when all the
facts are known the French government
will express regret for the occurrences
complained of, and will as a mark of her
disapproval recall Admiral Pierre.
Bradlaugh has written the speaker of
the house of commons, asking him whether
the act of presenting himself in the house
to take his seat would be disturbance of
the proceedings. He has also written to
the sergeant nt-at-arms, warning him that he
(Bradlaugh) will resort to an injunction if
an attempt is made to prevent him from
entering the house.
