Interesting Debates and Proceedings In
the House of Commons.
LONDON, August 26.-Sexton, Parnellite,
gave notice that in the Commons this even
ing OF his intention to move the following
amendment to the address in reply to the
Queens speech:
"We humbly represent to your Majesty
that the circumstances accountable for
the recent riots in Belfast dictate the neces-
sity for special measures to maintain Or
der there. The most urgent OF these meas
ures being the reassert!on OF your Maj
esty's authority in the district from
whence the police have been expelled, by
an increase OF the local consta bulary to
such strength as will enable it to deal with
any probable coneingency.'
Sir Michael Hicks Beach replying to Mr..
Russell, who yesterday gave notice OF his
intention to move to-day the adjournment
OF the House of Commons for the purpose
of ascertaining if the Governments object
in sending General Sir Redvers Butler to
Ireland was to establish martial law. de
| clared the General was not sent to Ireland
| for that purpose, nor to strain the ordin-
ary law, but merely to assist the civil
! authorities in the work OF preserving social
| order and detecting and Furnishing crime.
| This reply was not deemed satisfactory by
the opposition and Russell moved an adj
iournment. The whole opposition con.
sisting OF all the Gladstonians and Par
nellite members arose in support OF the
motiou and Russell proceeded to contend
that the policy OF the government was to
degrade Ireland to the level OF a savage
and barbarous country. He made vi gor-
Gus speeck in which he said Butler was
only known az military man and it had
been predicted he (Buller) would treat
moonlighters as rebels.
Lord Randolph Churchill replied at
length corroborating Hicks Beach's state
ment and defending the government policy.
He was opposed to an adjournment. In
conclusion Churchill said: 1.-THE nation
will not have a practical issue. The gov.
ernment will refuse to discuss the merits o
Gen. Buffers appointment and will have
nothing more to do with the discussion .

New YORK, August 2G.-When car No.
29O OF the Broadway line got down to
Forty-fourth street, about 10 o'clock, it
was attacked by mob Of roughs and
strikers and thrown from the track. A
wild scene followed for few moments.
The crack Of the policemens clubs upon
the heads of the roughs could be heard
above the yells and curses of the mob. 1t
took but few moments Of vigorous work
by the police to clear Broadway and send
the strikers down the side streets. A num-
Der OF cars are being run by the Broadway
road, each car carrying six policemen, and
the streets are filled with blue coats. The
mob is in bad temper, but none OF the
roughs dare do more than shout, and hurl
stones through the car windows, and then
seek the shelter OF some alleyway.

in the side streets and neighboring saloons
until in few minutes q mob OF excited
men flled the vide avenue. The car went
