Seven Persons Killed by the Falling
of Bridge.
LONDON. Sept. 15.-The difficulties with
the Irishmen in the House of Commons are
developing. They have carried out their
threat to keep up the discussion on the estl-
mates if Lord Randolph Churchill held his
determination to finish the supply bill be-
Times and the Tory leaders are endeayoring
to get up a charge Of obstruction, but this is
not warranted. The Irishmen are support
ed by one or two old parliamentary hands,
who cannot be suspected of obtrusiye tao
tics Tive, at least, of the longer discus
sons, that on the Barbarilla case and the
heated squabble earlier on Tuesday morn
ing, were due partly to Lord Randolph
| ChurchilPs want of temper, and partly to
| what amounts to a breach
While Lord Randolph Churchill IS the
| leader of the House, he will never be at
peace with the Irishmen. They believe nun
| to be trying to Jockey them, and to get unfair
| advantages. He, on his side, has an end TO
secure by getting up an indignation case for
the English constituencies. Luckily. the
| speaker is not in all the week, or the
| chances are that the Irishmen would have
| been suspended, The chairman OF the COM
mittee on the whole is better tempered and
holds the balance between the Tories and
the Irishmem more evenly. crisis will
just be saved this session.
The bill, though largely oyerhauled by Mr..
Gladst0ne's lieutenants is a larger measure
| than Parliament can fairly be asked to pass.
The Tories find that their hands are tied by
| the proposal to fix the deposit on which to
| suspend eyictions at 80 per cent. BY much
| pressure, the Unionists have been induced
not to promise to support the measure. Mr.
Gladstone will probably make cautious
/ speech favoring the proposal. The Radicals
| have thoroughly identified themselves with
| the Parnellites but the bill will probably be
| defeated by not less than 100 majority.
Funeral of a Rothschiid.
i LONDON, Sept. ia Paris special to the
Times gives this description of Baroness de
Rothschild's funeral:
The remains of that excellent and highly
| honored lady were taken to the grave In
plain hearse drawn by two horses, as were
| those of her late husband, Jews of the Tai
| mudie Ritual having religious Objectiont to
costly funerals. Large elms were distributed
by the different members Of her family IN
token of respect and affection for her; This
| almsgving is also prescribed by the Talmud,
and oldfashioned jews that almagiving is Of
use to the souls of the dead, in memory of
| whom the charity is exercised. The coffin
was of plain oak, with very small silver
clasps. 1t is worthy of remark that, contra
ry to French custom, none of the daughters
| or granddaughter of the late Baroness
were mentioned in the letters of invitation.
| The collateral male relatives were also omit
ted. All the Naples, Vienna, Frankfort and
| London ROthschilds came to Paris to attend
the funeral. After them walked the clerks,
domestics, woodrangers, and others employ
| ed by the French Rothschilds, and then the
children of Jewish schools and orphanages
| kept up by the family. There were the pu--
! pills of two Catholic orphan asylumS of
| which the deceased lady had beel gener-
| Gus patroness, and there were also twelve
| Catholic priests in the cortege. The Orleans
family were represented by the Marquis de
| BeauvOir.
| The late Baroness de Rothschiid was the
| first non converted Jewess ever received at
| French court. She was held in particular
| esteem by Queen Marie Amelie and the
| Duchesse d'Orleans, but was never in sympa-
| thy with the imperial court. The Grand Rabbi
| of the Rue deS VICTORIES Synagogue, Zadoc
| Khan officiated at the funeral. He perform
| ed the usual ceremonies in the inortuary
| chamber and preached q sermon at the maui
| soleum at Pere Lachaise, in the course Of
| which he eulogiZed the Baroness for her un-
| affected goodness, her sagacity, modesty,
! patience in supporting the i'll of old age, and
her generous sympathy with those who were
| afflicted, no matter what their rank religion
/ or race was.
Aid For Charleston.
The dispatches which passed by cable be-
| tween Minister Phelps and Secretary Bay
| ard relative to the Lord Mayors fund for the
| relief of sufferers at Charleston have been
| published in London. and their appearance
| in the newspapers las considerably cooled
| the enthusiasm of those who were anxious
| to contribute to the amelioration of the dis
| tresS of the stricken people The city mag
mates feel very sore over Mr.. Phelps attempt
| to suppress the sympathy which the English
| public always shows through Its pocket, ana
| the newspapers express regret that the Lord
| Mayor should have offered assistance, sug-
| gesting that it would have been better had
he waited until the sufferers themselves ap-
| pealed for aid, when movement to raise
| money for theirrelief would have had more
| powerful effect upon the sympathies of the
| people. Under the existing circumstances
| the London papers give u.terance to express
ions OF fear that the relief fund Will be alto
| gether unworthy of the British nation and
humiliating to British pride.
