"Ahi" said the President; and all
looked relieved.
"Wait erbout fo' minits," said Smith,
leaving the room.
The four minutes heightened into
fifteen, and the opinion was expressed
that the Chinaman was broke, and had
to go out to borrow his initiation fee,
but Smith finally returned with his
prey.

A nearly life-size chrome of cat was
placed out of doors where the birds
could see it. A catbird, coming up
from behind, alighted on top of the
picture, in spite of the warnings of
other birds, which were in a state of

A gentleman driving past small
pond near Monticello, N. Y, saw a
great commotion among number of
swallows which we're flying over the
water. Presently q large. black crow
came flying along, and its presence
seemed to quiet the other birds. The
crow flew down to the surface of the
pool, and then rose with large water
snake in its bill. The snake had caught
a swallow by the leg, but in trying to
free itself from the crow it allowed the
smaller bird to escape. The crow flew
away with the snake.
A gentleman saw humming bird
among the blossoms on yellow jessa-
mine vine. He concluded to capture it
by first making it drunk. Procuring
quart OF fulFproof corn whisky, he
filled the bells of dozen or more of
the flowers with the liquor. The hum
ming bird presently returned to the
flowers and drank up every drop of
whisky in them. It then flew to a
neighboring limb and awaited develop
ments. The flowers were again filed
with whisky, and the little bird once
more drained them dry. The gentle
man filled the flower bells again and
again, until the whole quart of whisky
was exhausted. The humming bird
drank it all and was eager for more.
The next day the little topper was again
busy among the jessamine flowers, and
did not even appear to have bad taste
in its mouth from the effects of its dis
sipation.

PARNELL's LAND BILL.
gt - Rejected by the Commons on the
Second Reading.

Lord Randolph Churchill. in the House .
of Commons. said that IN the event of q .
rising in Bulgaria, which he did not appre-
bend, however, the British Government
would act constitutionally and advise the /
Crown to act as in their opinion would be
best calculated to protect the interests Of the
people.
John Morley resumed the debate on the
second reading of Parnells Land bill. He
contended that the bill provided better
machinery and better method of answer
ing the Governments own question as to
the necessity of relieving Irish tenants in
some form other than the appointment OF II
royal commission. He also believed that
the landlords of Ireland, and not for the
first time in their history, were making a
grievous mistake in allowing the bill to be
rejected. Irish cheers.
Sir Michael Hieks-Beach, Chief Secre-
tary for Ireland, stated that the Govern
ment commission to inquire into the work
/ ing of the Land act of 1881 would consist
! of Earl Cowper. Chairman; Earl Midtown,
Sir James Card, Judge O'Hagan and
/ George Cottrell.
! Chaplin, Conservative, opposed the bill.
He tainted Gladstone and MOrly with
| again using the argument of fear The
! Parnell bill was the most impudent propo-
sition ever submitted to Parliament. 1t
involved a reduction of 80 per cent for an
indefinite period. Cheers.
Lord Harrington regretted that he was
unable to support Gladstone's conclusions.
He said there was little doubt that the time
had arrived for a full inquiry into the
agrarian question i'll Ireland, and the Gov
eminent was about to institute such an
inquiry. Yet, pending this investigation,
Gladstone was prepared to take action ON
Parnells bill. The existing judicial rents
were fixed during period of great depres-
sion and it has not yet been proved that
the Land Courts failed to make due allow.
ance for the state of things that has arisen
since that time. Parliament would incm
great responsibility if it rejected the Gov
ernment's proposition for preserving order
as such action would encourage sOciaistiC
and communistic ideas in the interest of q
certain class of persons.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach declared thai
the bill, if passed, would not be received
in the south and west of Ireland as a tenn
porary measure. TCheers.] The Govern
ment would not buy peace by doing i'll
justice by blackmail. In conclusion h.
said the discussion of ParnelPs PROPOSAL
was an act of gross injustice to Irish land

IN THE COMMONS
Various Matters Discussed by British
Statesmen.

Ferguson, Under Foreign Secretary, an
nounced in the Commons, that personal
communications were passing in London
between a representative of her Majesty's
Government and the United States Minis
ter. in the direction of the removal of the
friction between the fishing interests of the
United States and Canada, arising out of
defects of the present treaties.
Churchill gave notice of the intention of
the Government to introduce early next
session measures for considerable mOdlti-
cation in the present method OF conducting
public business in the Commons. The
announcement is accepted as portending
further repressive measures against the
Parnellites.
O'DiIon, Parnellite, urged the release of
Father Fahy the imprisoned WOodfOr6
priest, who, said Dillon, refused to give
| bail because he thought that would amount
/ to an admission of misconduct on his part.
Holmes, Attorney General for Ireland, JUS
titled the action taken. He said that he
| himself had no power to interfere after the
magistrate had given his decision. Sexton
said that in his opinion, Father Fahy
would prove the most inconvenient pris
oner the Government ever had. Tanner
Parnellite, followed. After being twice
called to order because of individual re
marks, he was ordered to cease speaking
whereupon he left the Chamber shouting
"This House is no place for an Irishman
I am disguised with it."
Cremer (Radical) drew attention to tn,
fact that the foreign affairs of the Govern
ment had been left for some months un
checked by Parliament. He therefore wa
anxious in regard 10 what ought to be don
by the Government. He deprecated inter
vening in Bulgaria.
Lord Churchill said he did not think tn
majority of the House or the people would
indorse Cremer. A discussion Of that sor
must now be Of very academic character
He deprecated premature discussion Of tn
Bulgarian question. The situation in Bull
garia might at any moment become critica
and the crisis might be precipltated If tn
subject was prematurely discussed.
Labouchere complained that Parliamen
had no voice IN regard to to liabilities an
obligations incurred by the country.

EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS.
Further Serious Disturbances at
Charleston.

CHARLESTON IS. c.. September 21.-
There was no installing the character of
the disturbance that occurred at 5:15 A. NJ,
at Charleston Most of the people in the
CITY were asleep at the time, but the shock
was sufficiently strong to awaken them.
The features OF the phenomenon and OF the
atmospheric conditions were somewhat pc
culiar The weather had been warm and
sultrv. After 10 o'clock at night the wind
seemed to have died out entirely and lndl-
cations of change in the weather were ap-
parent. Frequent flashes of sheet light
ming were seen in the north, and occasional
rolls of distant thunder were heard. The
sky over Charleston at time was entirely
clear. and the moon shOne brightly. Short
lvs after midnight the wind set in rather
briskly from the east and clouds began to
gather in the sky. 1t was 5:15 o'clock
when the shock occurred. This was about
the severest that has been felt in Charles
ton for over two weeks. Houses We're very
perceptibly shaken, and in many houses
pIastering was thrown down.
The shock is variously estimated to have
lasted from three to ten seconds. maj
who was on the street on his way to hl'
place of business states that the eartf
moved violently, and that the sound wa
like an explosion of thousand pounds
dynamite underground. The shock Is re
ported also from SummeryIlIe, Sumptel
Blackville. Orangeburg, Newberry, An
gusta and Savannah. Within three min
utes after the shock there were goot
many people on the street, although com
nerativeIy few of them were women an
children. Over $500 forms Of application
for relief on account of injury by the earth
quake to houses and other property, hav
been issued, and nearly 700 application

THE BELFAsT RIOTS.
More Trouble Between the Police anC
the Mob.

Desultorv rioting, accompanied by firing
continued throughout the night at Belfast.
Two policeman were seriously wounded and
number of citizens injured, and twenty
arrests were made.
Rioting was resumed at the junction of
North Cumberland and the Falls road by
the Catholic mill hands. The stoning was
so heavy and skillful that the police had to
retreat as far as Shank's hill. Here they
were reinforced, and they drove the mob
back, capturing a number on the way.
While this battle was going on another mob
in different locality attacked with stones
the Black Watch regiment of Welshmen,
although the soldiers were fully armed and
in fighting array The troops, with fixed
the mob and drove them from the scene,
wounding a great number of rioters and
arresting two.
Still another mob got into fight in the
tram-car stable, and surging out into the
street, threw a passing car from the track
and overturned it. The car was at the time
filled with passengers. The mob that over
turned this car evidently had not intended
to do it. They were fighting a purely re-
! ligous fight, but the locality was infested
/ with rowdies, and when these lOafers saw
the car filed with passengers they fusilla-
ded it with stones. The terror-stricker
passengers crowded close under the seats
and under one another and shielded them
selves as best they could with floor mats
and seat sections. Several were hurt. The
situation was dreadful until the militay res
cued them and escorted them to place @
safety.
