House of Commons.
LONDON, August 31st,-In the House of
Commons tonight. Balfour, Secretary for
Scotland, denied that the crofers suffered
more than others OF a similar class in Scot
land. He said it was more question of
over-population than of rent. The agita-
ton was due in large measure to a sample
of Ireland outrages, and the refusal TO pay
rent was not due TO poverty, but 10 the ad-
vice Of agitators, who wished to prevent
emigration, the natural remedy for over
population.
Several members who had obtained the
floor were ordered to resume their seats for
making irreyelaDt remarks, having gone on
to discuss home rule.
EssemOnt's amendment was finally re-
iected by a vote Of 203 to 127.
Sexton moved that the debate be ad-
journed,
ParnelI asked whether the Government
would give an evening sitting for the con-
sideTatiOn of SeXtOn'S amendment relative
to the Belfast riots.
Lord Randolph Churchill said that the
Government could not grant an evening
session, because it would prolong the de-
bate through the week.
Sexton was not inclined to move his
amendment on Wednesday, as he wanted
to postpone the report until Thursday, but
Lord Randolph Churchill's refusal to grant
an evening for discussion compels Sexton
to move the amendment on Wednesday.
Sexton hints that the unrestricted Irish
speakers will probably prolong the discus
sion until Friday, whereas if Churchill had
granted an evening for the amendment the
discussion would have ended on Thursday
The Parnellites have received whip
urging their constant attendance during
the debate on the amendment.
Gladstone and Roman Catholicism.
LONDON, August 31st.- Vanity Fair comes
to the fore, among current society and
sporting weeklies, with these suggestions
Lord Acton, who by right of his wife plays
the part of host to Gladstone in his visit to
Bavaria, is an intimate friend and disciple
of DR.. Dollinger, and was, during the Nati-
can Council, his active agent in opposing,
in union with Mgr. Dupanloup, Bishop
OF Orleans, the definition of the doctrine OF
Papal infaiiibility. Unlike the Bishop of
Orleans, DR.. Dollinger refused to accept
the Vatican decree, and still is in rebellion
against Rome. Lord Acton was only re-
strained from following the example of his
ancient master by the kindly influence and
moderate counsels of Cardinal Newman
The late Premier pamphlet on Vaticanism
is undoubtedly the main point of the union
between Gladstone and DR.. Dollinger, and
| should not at any day be surprised 20
learn that Gladstone had become a Roman
Catholic.
The International SCulling Match.
LONDON, August 31st.-The last of the
preliminary races in the international
sculiing sweepstakes were rowed to-day.
There were two heats, the first between
William Beach, of Australia, and George
Bubear, of England, and the other between
John Teemer, of the United States, and
Mel Matterson, of Australia. Beach and
Teemer were winners. The weather was
brilliant, but the waters were somewhat
lumpy. Beach led Bubear throughout the
heat, and won as he pleased by clear six
lengths. A foul occurred during the race,
which both men claimed. Betting was six
to one on Beach. His time was 1888.
Teemer was almost as big favorite for the
second heat as Beach was for the first, five
TO one being offered on him. The men got
OIL together, and remained on a level dur
ing the first 300 yards. Matterson then
began to forge ahead, and soon led by a
length, when he crossed over and took
Teemers water. Teemer closed up and
touched MattersOn's boat thus winning
the race on foul. Teemer afterwards got
clear of Matterson, who stopped a dead
to the line and finished alone. The people
on board the steamers following the race
were so absorbed in watching the result
that afterwards, when Matterson collapsed
and cOllided, i'll endeavoring to avoid the
Australian the Doun, press launch, was
pushed in between the others and half
filled with water. Reporters scrambled
into other boats, leaving their notes be-
hind. Two press men swan 10 the shore,
and no one was drowned, though there was
great confusion for time. MattersJn
ascribes his collapse TO the fierce exer-
tions he put forth yesterday in his race
with Wallace Ross. Beach declared that
he is wonderfully well, and confident of
beating Teemer in the final race tomorrow.
Betting on the result OF the final heat be-
tween Beach and Teemer is seven to four
on Beach. The race will take place at
$3.50 p II.
The London Bank Extending Its Control.
LONDON, August 31st-The London Bank |
has bought the concession and secured the |
entire control of BanC0 de EmleadOs, Mex |
leo. This will have the effect Of placing |
the latter institution on iirmer foundation |
than ever, owing to the banks gaining the
right to issue bullion, which has been dis
puted, and securing other valuable rights
and privileges. This action on the part OF
the London Bank will undoubtedly help
continue the investment of English capital
whereas, had the bank failed to secure the
continued circulation of its bills, it would !
have probably wound up its affairs and
withdrawn from the country.
Germany and the Eastern War Cloud.
BERLIN, August 31st-The North Gernta,t
Gazette reiterates that Germany has no in |
terest whatever in Bulgaria, and that it is |
not worth while to keep a single German /
soldier under arms on account of Bulgaria !
The necessity for German armament is due /.
to France. Every French newspaper, the /
Gazette says, proves that France is making !
rapid preparations to fight, and that finan- !,
cial sacrifices are being made to raise the !
efficiency of her army. Germany must al !
ways keep her eyes fixed upon France

LONDON, August 31st.-At meeting to-
day of forty advanced Gladstonian members
of Parliament, A. ]. Billingsworth presid-
ing, it was unanimously resolved to favor
an aggressive policy. 1t was also deter !
mined to notify Sir William Vernon Har-
court and A. J. Morley that the meeting
desired that the home rule struggle COM
menced at the recent elections should he
strenously maintained.

Russian Protectorate Over Corea.
YOKOHAMA, August 3lst.-Advices from
Corea state that, owing to the rumor that
Russia intended to establish protectorate
in Corea, the Chinese Minister there tele-
graphed to the Pekin Government, asking
that troops be sent to the peninsula; and
