Desires Peace

LONDON, Nov. l7.-In a speech in
the house of comons to-day Lord Ran
dolph Churchill attached the greatest
Importance to the maintenance by
England of an importurDable and
friendly attitude toward the United
States. He regarded the attitude tax
en- by Mr.. Cleveland arter the rejec-
ton of the fisheries treaty by the sem
ate as an unfortunate one. The ut
most allowance ought to be made for
the American position on the Sackville
affair in view of the time at
which it occurred. Mr. Cleveland's
action had been rather sharp,
but it did not justify the menaces,
Sneers and sulks in which the news
papers of England had INDUCED.
America, he declared, would be more
atrOciOus and dangerous than any war
since God created the earth. He
trusted that the governments policy
toward the new Washington admins
tration would be conserved with
view to make the American
people our best allies on all
questions and to producing a durable
friendship between the English speak
ing races, thus guaranteeing to human
ity in turn the blessings of liberty and
peace.
Lord Randolph approved of the
government takin measures to repress
crime in Ireland and strongly advocat-
ed the restriction of the traffic in intox-
icating drink.

sisted by Pat McGlew, Il Chicago bar
tender, smOthered the grand mother to
death in order to secure some money and
jewelry to continue a debauCh he
McGlew had been on for some time
prior. The youthful murderers were
convicted and sentenced to fifteen
years in the penitentiary at Jefferson
city, the trial attracting widespread at
tenJiOn at the time. The Doris man.
sion of late has been utilized as a house
of public comfort, being in the extreme
western portion of the city and as q re-
sort is the most widely known of any
st. Louis public house owing to the
tragic history connected with it.

rhs House Of Commons.

LONDON. Nov. 19.-In the house Of
commons this evening Nr. Madden,
solicitor general for Ireland lin the alb
sence Of Mr.. Balfour, chief secretary
for Ireland, who is i'll. brought in the
bill to further facilitate the purchase
by tenants of land in Ireland by adj
ding 600 600 to the amount ap-
plicable under the Ashbourne act. Mr..
Madden in explaining the proposed
measure described the AshbOurne act
as a great success. There lad been,
he said, I4,348 signed agreements fol-
the purchase of land, of which 1882
had been completed. There were only
two courses open to the government,
one was to abandon the scheme of land
purchase and the other was
to extend the act. The fact
that the act had been a conspicuous
success justified the government in
seeking to enlarge its operations.
When Mr.. Madden had finished. Mr..
Gladstone arose he was received with
prolonged cheering from the opposI-
ton. Mr.. Gladstone moved the fol-
lowing amendment to the government
proposal:
That in lieu of voting e5 COO, 600 IL
