LONDON, March 21-Mr Gladstone
appeared in his seat IN the house of com
mons last evening looking somewhat pale,
but apparently in excellent spirits. Res
ferring to the statement made in the
house Yesterday bv Sir William Harcourt,
Chancellor of tie Exchequer, fixing a day
for the introduction of Irish legislation,
Mr. Gladstone said that the measures
which he intended 10 submit to parla
ment on April would be presented in
the form of bill whose provisions cons
templated the establishment of certain
laws for the future government of lre>
land The Premier's remarks created a
profound sensation, and the fact that he
made no reference whatever to the land
purchase scheme induces the belief that
the project of buying out the landlords
will he at least temporarily abandoned
and the efforts of the government directs
ed toward the passage of home rule bill
pure and simple. This course is doubtless
in pursuance of compromise effected at
the cabinet council this afternoon, where
by the dissenting ministers were induced
to support home rule, providing that the
Premier would consent TO drop the land
scheme.
The increasing probability that Mr..
Gladstone will abandon for this season
his land purchase scheme affords feels
ing of relief on every side. His friends
feared his inability to carry the measure,
and even those who would as a matter of
loyalty to him. have supported the meas
ure, were doubtful of its practical value,
or indeed, of the possibility of putting it
into successful operation

ton was a ke1: Can make any suggestions
or offer any manner of compromise by
which the present strike can lie settled
through the mediation of The Globe Demo
crat!n
While the mediation was not authorized
by Mr.. Gou,d or others the impression was
conveyed to the two chairmen that he was
speaking by the card and was open for
propositions.
The Knights representatives replied that
reorganization of the committee of the
knights of Labor would probably be the
most S; nsible method of adjusting the pend
ing trouble That until there was a dsposi-
ton shown to treat with the committee
there would be no immediate prospect of
settlement
A long discus ion of the situation ensued.
Mr.. Mccullough gave the impression to the
vsi ors that although Mr.. Hoxie hal re-
fused TO arbitrate with the Knights of
Labor as meinbe of that organi alton, he
had reconsidered hi, decision and was now
anxious to meet them as members
Of such an order The interview
ended without any promises on the
part of the editor to take any part in the
matter. tie acted as dis,nterested party. 1t
Is common street talk, however, that the at
titude of Tie Globe Democrat toward the
knights since their trouble has made serious
inroa IS on the business OF that paper.
Switchmen employed in the yards of the
west division, in North st Louis, struck at
10 ociock Friday morning Forty men in
all quit work. This Go es all but one road
in'o st. Lonis namely, the St Louis &
San Francisco.
The knight have issued a circular in
which they say taat Gou.d's assertion that
that there is lno cau'e for a strike is untrue,
and that he Knows no ause because he re-
fuses to learn it Notwithstanding
persistent attempts of the knights
to present their grievances t.
him Therefore they alriign him bel
fore the court of plbhc opinion and declare
that an irrepressible conflict is
upon the country. They defy
the railway people to sue for
damages, and call upon all workingmen to
take their proper places; "Seabs to the
enemy; towards to tde rear; men TO the
'front.'

to Jay Gould that there was an agreement

Mr.. Gould denied any connection with the

Condition and Prospects of the
Sea Island Crop.

Sea Island Crop.
The Jacksonville Morning News prints
specialists report upon the condition
and prospects of the sea island cotton
crop in Florida, Georgia and South Caro-
lima. Oh q number Of replies to interroga-
tories majority report the weather bad
for the growing plant, but the plant as to
blooming and fruitlng is fair. Damage
from shedding and rust is reported In al
most every instance. The greatest dam
age is in Florida and the least is In South
Carolina. The percentage OF damage is
not stated.
There is very little damage from worms
and insects in any of the States. AS re-
CARDS cultivation, compared with other
years, the crop Is considered lalf,
large majority OF the replies reporting the
cultivation good. In Florida the yield
VIII be larger than last year; in Georgia
IL VIII be about the same, and in south
Carolina it will be somewhat less.
The report Of the number Of bales OF the
old crop not marketed is 31l bags In
Florida, ITO bags in Georgia, and south
Carolina 90 bags. exclusive Of what stock
Is held at the ports. Although there is
no report OF the presence OF the worm or
caterpillar, the fly has made its appear
ance In nearly every county IN Florida.
Ine crops generally are lTOm t"O W
tour weeks behind, the plant being ten
der and inviting for the caterpillar.
mere are grave approximations that the
caterpillar Will do "a good deal OF harm.
Ihere has been more shedding this season
than last, but up to date less rust. If the
weather should clear up and remain dry
for any length of time it would
cause the plant TO rust and shed
TO such an extent that the crop VIII be
almost total failure. The weather has
been very damaging for the past two or
three weeks, and the rain continues In
the sea island section. If the weather is
good from now on, and there Is no
damage from the caterpillar, the Florida
crop Will be about the same as last year.
In South Carolina it seems to be the
Impression of some Of the best posted
planters there that the acreage is much
less than last year. The crop is fully
two weeks late, making it so tender
| as to render 1t susceptible to
great enjury from the caterpillar or
| drought during this month and next. Re-
ports are coming from the island sections
of the State that the caterpillar has be-
gun its work. A careful estimate places
the yield for the State from 10000 to 49,
600 bags.
In Georgia the acreage has increased
somewhat. The crop was injured by too
much rain, and it has been impossible to
give the plant the necessary working, but
the weather recently has been more ia
vOrable, and the crop is improving The
reports are about the same as last year at
this time.
