two governors was on tho subject
OF turpentine and rice. the staples

further they got into the subject the
lower down they got into the jug, and

THE ENGLISH INFIDEL SEATED.
Bradlaugh sworn in Despite the Feeling
Against Him.

LONDON, Jan. l3.-Peel, speaker, before
swearing in the new members in the House
OF Commons, to-day said it was his duty
to inform the House that he had received
Il letter from Sir Micheal Hicks Beach,
chancellor of the eXchequer and conserva-
tive leader of the House, regarding Brad
laugh and giving Il historical retrospect of
the latter's case, which Peel said need not
be read, The letter also said Sir Michael
thought Bradlaugh should not be allowed
to take the oath without the House being
afforded chance of expressing an opin-
ion on the subject He believed the House
when fully constituted would decline to
sanction the administering of the oath to
Bradlaugh Peel said n was unable to re-
cognize anything done Y the previous par
lament in regard to 81 tdlaugh's case and
he (PeeD was powerles' to prevent him
taking the oath. He could take the oath and
take the risks if any were involved. Brad
laugh stalked the floor of the House in n
defiant manner kissed the Bible unctuous-
ly, shook hands with the speaker smiling
lyand drove away Immediately after being

FIGHTING PARNELL.
The Grand Old Man Credited with Great
Shrewdness.

DUBLIN, Jan. IA determined effort
is being made to break the strength of the
purely home rule policy which Mr.. Par
nell represents. 1t may possibly be learned
shortly that Mr.. Gladstone's hand is in
this intrigue. by again forcing the land
reform question to the front as in 1850 the
liberal leader hopes to become master of
the situation and demoralize Mr., Parnell.
He takes pains as yet, however, not to
openly break with the Irish leader. He
wears, like Richelieu, the foXs skin until
it is time to show the lions. Even the
real basis of the intrigue is itself obscured
and the quarrel between Mr.. Callan and
Mr. Parnell is taken advantage of rs the
best means Immediately at hand for max
ing Mr. Parnell trouble. The liberal
leaders met in private conference with
Mr. Gladstone last night The sudden de
velopment of important movements in
Dublin in said to have been the reason for
this meeting, and the result of the consul
tation will become apparent in Mr.. Glad
stones policy during the exciting days
which are expected to follow the opening
of Parliament.
