Question.
LONDON, Sept. 14.-Sir j. Ferguson, IN
der foreign secretary. replying to interro-
gatories in the house of commons this af-
ternOOn stated that the eleven English fish
ing boats which were seized by the French
authorities yesterday at Havre for viola
ting the international fishing laws had been
released. In regard to Prince Alexander's
abdication the under secretary said the
government possessed no official Informal
ton which would justify them in stating
that the car compelled the prince to abdi-
cate. He. therefore, could not make SINH
lar assumption. The seizure and abdica-
ton OF the prince. he said. were due to
meeting of part of the Bulgarian army. At
the same time, the under secretary said the
government would decline to lay before the
house the negotiations in progress relative
to the Bulgarian crisis for the reason that
publicity would serve no good purpose, but
on the contrary might do harm. The
regency of Bulgaria. he said. were follow
ing constitutional FORMS and all the par
ties in the country appeared determined to
cooperate for peace.
1t is stated in the lobby of the house of
commons that the alterations made at the
last moment in
MIR. PARNELL's LAND BILL
have only served to increase the govern
ments dislike of the measure; also that all
the members of the Conservative party and
about dozen Liberal L nionists who still
remain in town will oppose the second
reading of the bill The members in the
front opposition benches observe reticence
on the subject. 1t is rumOred that Mr..
Gladstone will not support the bill on
account of the clause relating to the lease
holders. On the other hand, usually well
informed gentlemen say that the eX-premieI
will support the bill; that he is in constant
communication with Mr.. Parnell and that
he approves the bill as finally drafted.
The Radicals have decided to support Mr..
Parnell. They argue that the bill will
have most bene fetal effect on social
order in Ireland. which, If nothing is done
to relieve the tenants, will go from bad to
worse. Radicals insist that the first condition
of any plan for dealing wIthIreland must
be non coercive. It is stated that Sir Will
liam Vernon Harcourt and Mr.. John Nor.
ley intend to speak in favor of Mr.. Par
HelIs bill. A meeting Of members of the
house of commons interested in church
defense was held to-day to devise means
for counteracting the efforts of those who
favor disestablShment. A strong feeling
was expressed in favor of forming an Or
gained party in the house of commons
with whips" whose object may be
summed up in the phrase ''churchmen first,
politicians second.
THE OBSTRUCTION TACTICS
Of the Parne llites have led the government
to insist that the debate on the supply bill
be concluded before day be granted for
the discussion of Mr.. Parnelfs bill. It is
almost certain that the house of commons
will be asked to sit Oh the remaining
Saturdays of tue session. Even So in the
present temper of the ParnelliteS, it is
improbable that the house will be pro-
| rogued before the end of the month. AS
Stunning that Mr.. Parnells bill is already de-
| feated it is almost certain that every stage
of the appropriation bill will be made the
occasion of prolonged discussion of Irish
matters. In the house of commons tonight
the debate on the Irish constabulary appro-
priation bill lasted eight hours. Most of the
time was taken up by the ParnelliteS. Mr..
Biggar, Mr.. Harrington. Mr..
| Crilly and others frequently moved
| to report progress. Mr.. Biggar
protested against the action of the Con-
servatives, who, he said had made the
arguments of the Parnellites inaudable.
| The house was like bear garden. A mo-
| ton to reduce the sum asked for by SO. 900
was rejected by vote of It's to rs, and
finally the full amount was voted. The
