a sleeping car about five p. III. and re-
ceived from its only occupant the follow
ing salutation: u" am glad to see an
other passenger. | have had the car to

This was said by man with some
what pleasant manner. but, as the sequel
showed, with loquacous tendencies and
peculiar principles.
The mention of Il prominent name soon
brought from him the statement that he
had met the gentleman often at meetings
of the General Assembly of the Prcsbv-
terrain church. of which he had long been
an active member. 1t was not long be-
fore he expressed his detestation of dane
ing. of dressing in the extreme of fashion
and laid down the law as he had enacted
and enforced it in his own family. The
readers who think at this point that the
man who thus publicly paradcd his piety
to stranger turned out to be an ordinary
card-sharper or buncO steerer are going
to be disappointed. He was only MEM

WASHINGTON. ID. c. April 26, So
A Democratic Senator who is posted
as to the coalition of business in Con
q ess, and The probable course of events
in hat body, said yesterday Every
thing seems to be settling down to il
long session Of Congress. 1t is true
that Members of the House talk about
getting away the latter part # June.
But this is simply impossible. In the
fi,t place the Legislation that is abso
lutely necessary mean the appropria

Besides, there will be considerable dis
cussion OIL some of the appropriation
bills and not hurry itself as it used to
do, when the Republican majority

ing the lead of The Senate Appr"pria-
ton Committee in increasing the ex-
penditures, and being upheld in this
by friendly Administration.

LONDON, September S.-A farewell
banquet was given to Justin Mccarthy

Parnell said that Americans would well
come Mccarthy as the foremost Irish
man of the age and as the most truth
full exponent of the Irish question.
Great Britain's first duty, he said, was
to give effect to the principles upon
which her own greatness was based
namely, the rule of the people by
The people and for the people,
and also, if she pleased to
guarantee fair play to Protestant
community is in Ireland, though he
doubted that there were many who
feared that the Protestants would not
have iair play. A majority of the
Liberal party had supported the Irish
bill, and he hoped with the weapons of
legality, TO enable Ireland to take thu
position for which God had destined her.
Mccarthy, in reply, said he was not
going to America on political mission,
but merely to pay a friendly visit as
he was extremely fond of the Americans.

LONDON, September 8.-Since the in
terview between government and Mr..
Parrell has been abandoned, Lord Ran
dolph Churchill is disposed to bargain
with Mr.. Parneil on the basis of govern
ment support of the single clause of
Parnell's bill relating 20 the suspension
of evictions. A majority of the cabinet
are opposed To any IRISH legislation
until next year. Lord Harrington in
sisted that there should be no tamper-
ing with the Parnell bill and proposed
Lord Salisbury the vote OF the Union
lists, if government absolutely opposed
the bill. Tn Chamberlain section will
not vote on the bill. Chamberlain, who
has gone to the country, saws he will
take no part in the debate. He adheres
to his determination To do nothing TO
embarrass government in dealing with
Ireland
Lord Randolph Churchill will offer
Parnell facilities for the second reading
of his bill on the 10th inst, on condi-
ton that the Parnellites offer no OBJ
struction to the passage of the whole of
the estimates. If the ParuelliteS, aiming
10 retain control of government, insist
upon consideration of Z, rnell'S bill be-
fore the estimates, the probable issue
will be that Parnell will accept Lord
Randolph's offer. knowing that the de-
feat of his bill Is certain. Parnell has
sent draft of his bill to Gladstone.
The first clause provides that lease
holders may apply to The court to fix
Judicial rents. The second, that tenants
whose rents were fixed a year ago may
apply to the courts Tor revolution, and
third, that the court, pending decision
on applications, m ~ suspend ejectment
on the payment of such proportion of
rent as the court may decide proper.
Government whips predict that the
debate will be short and that the House
