London Press Treat ParnelPs Revised
Bill with Ridioule.
LONDON, Sept. 14.-The Standard this
morning says: "Mr. ParnelPs bill is
most disappointing document. Itwould
have been more candid to label it "a
measure for the abolition Of eviction and
the reducing OF rents by one-half' If it
became law 1t would put every land
owner In Ireland at the mercy OF the
local leagues. 1t is difficult to believe
that Mr.. Parnell framed the project In a
serious spirit, The House of Commons
will see that it was never intended from
the frst as a serious proposal, and will
deal with it accordingly"
The Times, commenting on Mr.. Par
nell's land bill, says: "Mr. Parnel's bill
has undergone another change, 1t is a
Legislative chameleon. Parliament is
asked to force gigantic act OF repudi-
alton by the slmple process of allowing
debtors to retain what they owe their
creditors without being liable TO legal
| proceedings. 1t is a project of legisla-
tive spoliat1on without a modern prece-
| dent.'' t}t
THE ALTERATIONS UNPOPULAR.
1t is stated In the LOBBY of the House Of
| Commons that the alterations made at
the last moment in Mr.. Parnel's land
| bill have only served to increase the gov
ernments dislike OF the measure; and
also that the members of the Conserva-
tive party and about a dozen Liberal
! Unionists, who still remain, Will oppose
the second reading Of the bill. The men,
| bers on the front opposition bench OBJ
serve reticence on the subject. 1t is ru-
| m0red that Mr.. Gladstone will not sup
port the bill on account of the clause re-
lating to leasehold. On the other hand,
usually well Informed men say that the
ex-Premier Will support the bill, that he
| is IN constant communication with Mr..
ParDell, and that he approves the bill.
The Radicals have decided to support
| Mr.. Parnell. They argue that the bill
will have o most beneficial effect on So
oial or der In Ireland. The Radicals in
sist that the first condition of any plan for
dealing with Ireland must be no coercion,
and that logically, therefore, they must
| support MIR. Parnell. 1t is stated that
Sir William Vernon HarcOurt and John
Morley intend to speak on the bill.
PARNELLITE OBSTRUCTION.
The obstructing tactics OF the Parnell-
the debate on the supply bill be concluded
before a day be granted for discussion OF
| Mr.. ParnelPs bill, even in view of the
present temper of the Parnellites, IT Is
improbable that the House Will be pro-
rogued before the end of the month. As
suming that Mr.. ParnelPs bill Is already
defeated. IL Is almost certain that every
stage of the appropriation bill will be
made the occasion of prolonged discus
sion of Irish matters.
In the House tonight, while the ap-
preparation for the Irish constabulAry
was being debated, James Quite, member
for North Westmeath (Nationalist), in
itiated a discussion of the Barbavilla
murder. He demanded an inquiry into
the case, saying that the persons now i'm
prisoned were undoubtedly innocent.
The debate lasted eight hours, most of the
time beng taken up by the Parnellites.
Messrs. BiggGr, Harrington, Crilly and
others frequently moved TO report pro-
gress.
Mr.. Biggar protested against the action
Of the Conservatives, who, he said, had
made the arguments of the Parnellites in
audible.
The motion to reduce the sum asked for
| by 100000 was rejected by vote of IT'S
to 75, and finally the full amount was
voted. The House then adjourned.
In the debate on the estimates, Thomas
W. Russell, member for South Tyrone.
Liberal Unlonlst, will oppose the grant
ing OF the sum asked for the Belfast Hos
pItal on the ground that Belfast ought to
supply her own plaster for those citizens
who crack each others skulls.
