 alities in the House.

Commons last evening.
 MT. Parnell, resuming the debate on R I. Roid's proposal to restrict the inquiry into the conduct of his associates to accu- sations for murder and violence, said that he referred yesterday evening to the pro- ceedings of the Cabinet in office from 1SS2, which had frequently been divulged by MT. Chamberlain to himself and other Nationals.
 MT. Parnell replied that he would re- serve further statements until he came before the Commission, when he would De prepared to prove his charges by his own and others evidence, and by documents and statements of MT. Chamberlain him self. The Nationals, continued MT. Par nell, were quite ready to meet definite charges before court or commission. It was not reasonable to ask them to go be- fore commission unless they were told who their accusers w ere and of what they were accused Such fair play might be too much to bestow upon Irishmen. They were told they might extract the charges from "Parnellism and Crime" He declined to use that foul and ltbellous pamphlet.
 Mir Chamberlain said he desired to offer personal explanation. MT. Parnell had made accusations against him, and had threatened to bring the accusations before the Commission. If the charges were ger mane to the subjects referred to tho Com misslon he would be happy to give any ex- planation that might be found necessary. As far he could understand the accusa- tions, it was alleged that during the period from 1876 to 1880, before he was Minister, he had constantly melted the Parnellites to do what he was afraid to do himself Mr Parnell further accused him of be- traying secrets of the Cabinet between 1880 and 1885. The only direct commun- cations he had had with MT. Parnell dur ing the whole of that period were: First, in regard to MT. Parnelps release from Kilmanham jail, information of what took place being duly conveyed to MT. Glad stone and Mir. Forster; and second, as to the formation of National councils in Ire land. This scheme MT. Parnell himself had suggested to him. MT. Pa"nell now denied ever having approved that pro- posal.
 MT. Parnell-I don't deny assenting to the proposal to establish National coun- cil in Dublin. What I deny is construct ing or assenting to MT. Chamberlain's scheme.
 | Mir. Chamberlain repeated that he had proofs of his statement ill MT. Parnelps | own writing. (Cheers.) He replied to MT. Parnell accepting the proposals, and | he promised to place them before his col | leagues and try to obtain their assent to l them. Everything that passed between him and Mir. Parnell was communicated to MT. Gladstone and Lord Harrington and | other Ministers.
 l Mr. Parnell said that the accommodations l between MT. Chamberlain, himself, MT. l Dillon and another person not now mem- l Der of the House of Commons relased to quite other subjects than the Irish Local Government bill, and covered his release from Kilmainham jail, the Arrears blll ! the renewal Of coercion after the Phoenix Park murders, and, later, in 1885, the Ques- 1 tion regarding the non-reneWal of the | Crimes Act
 In the division on Mir. Reid's amendment the House voted 241 against it, and 197 for it.
 Sir William V. Harcourt charged the Government with refusing to accept tho amendment because MT. Webster the At torney- General, had told them that the Commission must inquire into anything the Tunes wished to have investigated. | They wanted to allow the ItDles to throw Its dirt without restraint The Ministers were making themselves conduit of foul water to be poured upon the Irish National | League.
 MT. Banuerman- Robertson, Solicitor 1 General for Scotland, indignantly repudi- ated the slanderous accusations that the Government were in collision with the Times
 
 draw hls statement if Mir. Smith would say that Mr. Walter, Of the 1tnaes had not been consulted in settling the bill.
 MT. Smith, eXcitedly T thought the charge vindicative and contemptible that it was not worthy of a denial. I deny it absolutely, and amazed that any gentle man could have been found in the House who would make it.
 Sir William Vernon Harcourt-As I un- fr tn 4I,a% seen Mir. Walter, 1 withdraw the state ment.
 Mr Smith-I again deny absolutely that I had any negotiations with MT. Walter whatever regarding the bill. MT. Walter has called upon me as an old friend. But he never saw the bill, and I never had any sort ot plan with him regarding it. Cheers. !

 PARIS, Aug. 1.-The strike of the labor. CTS is getting to be serious. The number now exceeds ten thousand. Should they all join in demonstration, which they have not attempted yet, they would make formidable mob, and the consequences might be grave. They continue to inter- fere with fellow laborers still at work, to make them quit and join in the strike. An ; archists and socialists attend their meet ings and make inflamatory speeches and doi4g all in their power to keep up the strike and incite disorder.
 An alarming report has come from Der
 lin in which Signor Crispi, the Italian Prime Minister, is represented to have
 1aid that any attempt of France to change the situation in the Mediterranean would
 lead to a conflict between England and . the allied powers, as England had pied ged herself to maintain the statu quo in that quarter. What truth there may be in this report has not been ascertained, but it has 3 no doubt arisen from statements In the
 German and English papers that France - intends to seize Tripoli. To put an end tt
 these false and disturbing reports, the , semi-official press here have been author , ized to deny that France has any such pro : ~ject or purpose in view.
