Probabilities About Parnelrs Bill.

Probabilities About ParneIl'a Bill
LONDON, Sept 13.-The Parneu land bill. as
redrafted suspends evictions on payment into
court of half the rent due. Many Gladstonians
disapprove of the amount of the reduction. TIE
Parnellites assert that the full values justify
demand of over so per cent. reduction. Mr..
Parnell, in a conference with John Morley,
urged reduction of rs per cent, but on Mr..
Morley's advice he limited the reduction to so
per cent Lease holders are included in the bill
The governments response will be that Mr..
Parnells data are inaccurate; that the Dublin
executive returns of market values for 1856
show that the reduction in prices In IRE
land Is less than in England and Scot
land, ranging from 10 to Is per cent.
Sir Michael HicksBeach and Lord Randolph
Churchill will deny that the bulk of the Irish
tenants will be unable to pay their rents in No
vember, or that host of evicticns is probable.
The second reading of the Parnell bill will take
place on Friday.
Mr. Gladstone has privately announced that
ne will return to London on Saturday, and that
ne hopes to take part in the debate on Monday
1t is understood that he will support the Parnell
bili His promised presence is already rallying
the Gladstonians. The Unionist whips have sent
an appeal to Unionst members in the country
to return to London and vote against the BILL
The government also, insists upon the recall of
absentees. The Conservative attempt to curtail
the debate to one night will be in vain The
debate will probably extend over four nights.
