Judge Moody has been heard by the
House committee on territories upon the
proposition to divide the territory of Dar
kota. He followed the same line of argu-
ment pursued by him at his previous hear
ing. He disclaimed any personal interest
in the division OF the territory on the 9Th
parallel, and charged that Mr.. L. J Johnson,
who accused him OF desiring such division
in order that he might be returned to the
Senate, was nota citizen OF Dakota but
Illinois. He said that Mr.. Johnson was a
land speculator, who wanted division
north and south in order to bring his
lands near the capital OF the new state and
thus enhance their value. Mr.. Mcdonald,
banker OF Pierre, OAK, spoke few min
utes in support of tine views expressed by
Judge Moody.

New York Tribune. This is the time
when there is an annual influx here OF per-
sons living along the Northern Pacific road.
While the great Northwest is snow-cov-
cred, they run on to New York with their
schemes for building railroads, open
ing mines, and developing the coun-
try. There are half a dozen Wash
ington Territory people here now. A
M. Cameron. the banker at Spokane Falls,
is presenting to the Northern Pacific man
ayers plan for two feeders to tap that
line at his town. One line is to 60 south
ward into the Palouse river region, which
is a rich wheat country, and the other
southwest into grazing lands. No road
has yet been built into the Ceur d'Alene
gold fields, but several routes have been
surveyed. Mr.. Hopkins one OF the
heaviest investors in that region, told
me recently that more and more gold and
silver are being taken out every month,
but it has got to be an old story, now, and
very little is heard about it. He added:
"Mr. Harrington, who is president OF a
bank at Helena, was on the train with me
the other day when he said that more gold
came into his bank now from Ceur d'Alene
region than from all the rest of that sec
ton combined"

A TORY DEFEAT.

The Salisbury Government Defeated $50
to 500, in Test Vote in the House OF
Commons.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, the Conservative
leader, gaze notice in the house OF commons
Tuesday afternoon the 26th inst, that
the government would introduce on Thurs
day a bill to suppress the Irish National
eague and other dangerous societies, to
prevent intimidation, to protect life and
property and maintain public order in Ire
land. This announcement was greeted
with loud cheers. Sir Michael said he would
ask the house to give the bill precedence.
The notice given by the Conservative
leader OF the governments intention to in.
troduce a bill to suppress the National
league was greeted by the Parnellite mem
bers with cries OF "Cowards!" "Shame!" and
ironical laughter, the uproar continuing for
some moments. Mr.. Ceilings moved his
amendment to the address on the subject of
allotments. Mr.. Gladstone strongly sup
ported Mr.. Ceilings amendment, and the
marquis OF Harrington opposed it. Sir
Michael Hicks-B Beach said the government
would willingly accept the decision Of the
house, as they had assumed office with
reluctance and would resign without regret,
The amendment was adopted by vote Of
329 to $50, the government thus being de-.
feated. The result was received by the
Irish members with derisive cheers and
cries Of "Boycotted!" The house, at the
suggestion OF Sir Michael-Hicks Beach, adj
lourned. Lord Harrington, Mr.. Groschen
Mr.. Courtney, Sir John Lubbock, and other
moderate Liberals, voted with the Con-
servatives. Mr.. Gladstone, Mr.. Chamber.
lain, Sir Charles Dixie, Mr.. Trevelyan, Mr.
Labouchere, Mr.. Bradlaugh. Lord Rich
ard Grosvenor and all the Parnellites
voted against the government.
The Morning Post says that the resigna-
ton of the government will be announced
on Thursday.
Thomas Power O'Connor, in an inter
view, said;
The proposed introduction in parlia-
ment OF coercive meas ures for Ireland was
a party trick based upon the hope OF Wing
support-a hope that would probably
prove delusive. The anti-Irish feeling in
England was not SO great as the govern
mentsupposed it to be. The ministry would
certainly be defeated, and Mr.. Gladstone
would form home rule ministry which
would have the full support OF the liberals
and the Parnellites. Mr.. O'Connor charac-
terized the action OF the government as 'dire
frenzy"
William O'Brien, member Of parliament
from Mallow and editor of United Ireland,
agreed with Mr.. OConnor that the idea of
auppressing the NATIONAL league was absurd

Moreton Feewen, an English fnan-
cial writer, contributes an article in
Bradstreet's Journal, showing ''that
while in Europe commod ities which re.
quire currency medium are increas-
ing with great rapidity, the gold re.
quired to measure this production is
actually diminishing, and thus credit,
which here has a gold basis, is shrink
ing, and therefore prices are falling.
And to emphasize the actual terror
of our position, we need only turn
to the estimates of the gold
you had in currency in 1878,
which DR.. Linderman returned at
1914, 100000, and which the Hon.
II. Burchard reported twelve months
since to be$61O, 600, 900; that is, while
Europe is getting no new gold to coin
you are draining her supplies on hand
at the rate of nearly 100000, 900 4
year. Is it any wonder that we have
panic OF prices here, and that, as
every authority seems to be agreed,
we are on the brink OF q q tremendous
fall in wages" Mr.. Feewen concludes
with the remark that :'The United
States is scarcely less concerned than
we are by a contraction OF our curren-
cy. Such a contraction means q fall
in prices; that is, American exports,
when sent here, have to be paid for at
q price which is constantly falling

The year 1885, generally admitted
to have been the worst since 1879 for
the farmers of Great Britain, though
perhaps not so for those of Ireland.
The consequence is, that large ma

able to pay their rents, and remissions
OF 10 to 80 per cent. have been made
by large number of landlords. The
harvest in Scotland was worse than
it was in England.
