AN INQUIRY DEMANDED.

urges rigid inquiry into the truth or
falsity of Informer Casey's statement
that Myles, Joyce and others, convict
ed of completely in the Mantrasna
murders, were innocent, and he was
compelled TO testify against them by
Crown Solicitor Bolton.
DEBATE IN PARLIAMENT.
LONDON, August 12.-In the CON-
mons this morning the appropriation
bill passed its third reading. Lord
Randolph Churchill denounced the
enormous growth of outlay, and at
tackled the management of Hugh G.
ChilderS, chancellor of the eXchequer.
The grants under the consolidated
fund, during 1884, were, he said, e5.-
100000 over the outlay during the last
year the late government were ia Of
flee. The present session of parliament
had been sc:.3dalous, and the time had
been wasted. The government had
introduced bills with no intention of
passing them, and partly was this true
in this instance of the merchant ship
ping bill, the introduction of which
was a low, miserable, election device,
emanatinR from an ill-famed eau
Gus.
In regard to the mission of the Earl
of Northbrook to Egypt, Lord Ran
dolph Churchill pointed out the
government was entrusting to two
members of the financial house of
Barring Bros. s. Co.-Lord Northbrook
and Sir Evelyn Barring almost un-
limited control OF England's political
and financial interests in Egypt. The
government might as well send two
of the Rothchilds. The governments
steps for the relief of Gen. Gordon
were obviously insincere, and wer6a an
other election device. He
warned the government that
they were mistaken if they
expected to rivet the attention of par
lament at the autumn session, on the
franchise question, Childers replied to
Churchill.
Mr.. Childers said Lord Randolph
evidently thought he had inherited
Disraeli's mantle. He advised him to
abandon violent epithets and vulgar
abuse. If the house supported the
policy of economy the government
were only too willing to retrench.
Earl Northbrook had no connection
with the firm of Barring Bros, and
these attacks upon him were utterly
unworthy of Lord Randolph, whose
attacks were so frivalous that the
house would pay no attention to
them.

Facts from the Factories.

PITTsBURe, PA, August IA
further suspension of work in the
window glass factories, after Septem-
ber 1st, is probable. The usual two
months summer vacation will expire
then, but, as prices are very low, and
the demand limited, manufacturers
are considering the advisability of
prolonging the shut down till the
middle of next month, or the first of
October, when they hope for revival
of trade. The tableware factories
will resume next Monday and bottle
houses on September 1st.
