The Majority of the English Cabinet OPP

LONDON, Sept. 8.-Since the interview be-
tween Lord Harrington and Lord Salisbury all
hope of compromise between the government
and Mr.. Parnell has been abandoned. Lord
Randolph Churchill is disposed to bargain with
Me-. Parnell on the basis of government support Of
the single clause of Mr.. Parnells bill relating to
the suspension of evictions. The majority of
the Cabinet are opposed to any Irish legislation
until next year. Lord Harrington insisted that
there should be no tampering with the Parnel
bill, and promised Lord Salisbury the vote of
the Unionists if the government absolutely op-
posed the bill. The Chamberlain section will
not vote on the bill. Mr.. Cham berlain, who has
gone to the country, says he will take no part in
the debate He adheres to his determina-
tion to do nothing to embarrass
the government in dealing with Ireland
Lord Randolph Churchill will offer Mr.. Parnell
facilities for second reading of his bill on the
10th, on condition that the ParnellItes offer no
obstruction prior to the passing of the whole of
the estimates. The Parnellites aiming to re-
tain control of the government, insist upon con-
sideration of Mr.. Parnells bill before the esti-
mates. The probable issue will be that Mr.. Par
nell will accept Lord Randolph's offer, knowing
that the defeat of his bill is certain. Mr.. Par
nell mas sent draft of his measure to Mr. Glad
stone. The firstf-clause provides that lease
holders may apply to the court to fix judicial
rents; the second. that tenants whose rents were
fixed year ago may apply to the court for re-
valuation; and third, that the court, pending de-
cisions upon applications NAV suspeud an eject
ment on the payment of such proportion of the
rent aa the court may decide to be proper. The
government whips predict that the debate will
be short. and that the House Will adjourn on. the

hibition convention which assembled here this
morning Is the largest in this State in many
years. Eugene Fl. Capp, of Boston. was made
permanent chairman. Mr.. Clapp, on taking the
chair. delivered long address.
The resolutions adopted declare that the liquor
traffic Is the greatest instrumentaity Of corrup-
ton in our politics; that it paralyzes our indus
tries Is blight upon our social life is destroy
er of homes, and an evil and a curse everywhere:
demand the prohibition of the manufacture,
transportation and sale of all Intoxicating bever
ages and declare that this principle should he
made secure by constitutional amendments;
they also declare that any political party that
will not grapple with this monstrous evil, with
the honest and earnest intent OF overthrowing
it, is unworthy of confidence and support.
Both OF the great political parties are
condemned for their past course regarding
the liquor question. The Knights of Labor are
commended for excluding liquor dealers from
their organization. and the principle OF arbltra-
tion in labor troubles is indorsed; worknemen
are called upon to assist in overthrOwing the
evil of the liquor traffic. The resolutions recon-
mend that the act of selling or dealing in liquor
should be punishable by Acknowledgement. They
indorse the work done by the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, and favor the submission to
the people of the question Of constitutional
amendment IN behalf of woman suffrage. In
conclusion, determination is expressed to have
no deals or compromises with any other persons
or parties, and to "stand on our own platform
and support our own candidates"

ruvian coast there has been great destruc-
lion Of property ard loss Of life. The city
OF africa, one of the seaports of Peru. located
in latitude lSo 26> and oDgitude 70' "a, has
several times been visited by earthquakes.
The most destructive occurred on August Is
ard IA, 1868. Without moments warning
the city was completely wrecked by an
earthquake, which destroyed over SO 900
of property and n large number of lives, va
riously estimated from 5000 to 10000, tho
exact number never having been positively
ascertained. Every building was levelled
with the ground, which opened and swal
lowed them up, together with the inhabt-
ants. The Pacific ocean was 80 disturbed
by the convusion that b 20 tidal wave
rushed over the land and completed the de-
struction. Where the city formerly stood a
large salt lake was soon formed. Two
United States vessels were IN the harbor

other employed as q depot for stores.
The former was named the Wateree, and

carried by the tidal wave g mile and a.quar

sand bills when the gigantic wave retired.

The United States storeship Fredonia was
wrecked by being dashed on the shore, and
every one on board was lost. Other smaller
craft in the harbor were stranded, and few
were found in q condition that even the
hulls could be afterward made use Of. The
fortified island Of Alacrar, which de.
Tended the port, was entirely submerged,

rushing waters AS the Island was com
paratively low, and the first tidal wave full

the virtually imprisoned men, especially
when that wave was followed by three or
four others of equal force, but of less vol
ume. The shocks on August Is were con-
tinuous at intertals of about fifteen minutes,
while those Of the 14th occurred about one
hour apart. The opening of the earth
