Mr. ParnelI,s Amendment Go Ghe Land
 Act Defeated.

Mr. ParnelI's Amendment Go the Land
 Act Defeated.
 LONDON, Nov. 23.-In the House of Com- mons this evening Mr. Sexton asked whether 1t was true that seven Irish members were about to be prosecuted, and if so, whether there was any relation between the prosecu- ton and the delay in the debate on the Irish estimates. If there was not, he asked if Mr. Smith, the government leader, would give assurance that members would not be withdrawn from their parliamentary duties until the estimates were settled.
 Mir. Smith denied having any knowledge of the prosecution. He certainly desired members to remain until the estimates were settled.
 On motion to go into committee on the bill, MT. PArnell proposed an amendment giving the government power to instruct the land commission to deal with arrears when fixing judicial rents. He urged that, In view of the fact that 1t was agreed on all sides that the arrears question must necessa- rily be settled it ought to be dealt with with out delay, in connection with the question of land purchase This done, it would place the tenant in position to contract freely with the landlords, protect the exeheques against loss and give the Ashbourne act the best chance to work with smoothness.
 Mir. Smith contended that the course which Mir. Parnell proposed would place the tenant in distinctly worse position than before, by recognizing arrears as 8 charge that might continue to hang around his neck even after completing his purchase. Now, after con- tract for purchase had been agreed upon the arrears became ipso facto wiped out.
 MT. Dillon held that the mischief of ar- rsars occurred before the agreement for pur- chase was signed.
 Mir. Parnell's motion was rejected. Mfr. Nolan, home ruler, moved that pur- chasing tenants be alao allowed to purchase all land in the neighborhood of their hold ings. After a warm debate the motion was negative-159 to 128.
 Sir B. Walter Foster, Liberal, moved to reduce the amount of the grant asked for in the bill to 1,500, 900 pounds. This motion WAS also rejected by vote of 212 to 164.

A BIG CAVE IN.

Sudden Sinking of a TracE Half a Mile Square Near Wilkesbarre-No
 Lives Lost.
 WnKEsBARRE, Penn, Nov. 23.-A cave- in, covering tract about half mile square, occurred this afternoon at Parsons Station, three miles from here. It is located be- tween the Mineral Spring oolliery operated by the Lehigh company and the Laurel Run mines operated by the Delaware and Hudson company and is about six feet deep almost the entire area. Both water-mains, each 16 inches in diameter, of the Wilkesbarrs Wa ter company, which extend under the caved- in districts were snapped off and an im- mense volume of water from the reservoir rushed into She mines. In consequence work at both collisries had to be abandoned until repairs can be made and water pumped out of the mines. Over thirteen hundred are at work repairing the damage. No lives were lost, but the walls of several houses are reported badly cracked,

The He'll Company MusS Pay Taxes in
 New York.

NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-The general term of the Supreme court to day decided that the American Bell Telephone company of Boston Is liable to a tax upon the business which it does in the State. The tax is claimed upon the business transacted in this State for 1882 to 1886. The eompany's business in this State is only by contracts with local corpora E tions for renting of telephone instruments. In 1882 rentals were of the amount of S164,- 346, which in 1886 had increased to $298, ,239. In 1882 the dividends were 10 per cent. and in 1886 they were 16 per cent. in this State. The State claims 5-10 per cent. on the gross earnings and 10 per cent additional for de- fault. Judgment is given against the com pany for $34, ,478. Judge Van Brunt holds that the company is not taxable prior to the amendment of 1885, which enacted that the tax should be only upon the portion of the capital stock employed in this State and not upon the whole capital stock.

 INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 23.-The strike of rail- road switchmen is taking on an ugly phase. Not switch engine in the city was moved to-day. In the freight yards everything is in confusion. The morning trains were aban- doned half made up or not made up at all. In several places engineers and fremsn or other employees of the roads pressed into the service tried to go on with the work, but the strikers interfered and prevented the depar- turs of any trains. Although some disposi- tion to blockade the tracks and obstruct the progress of men who desired to work was ex- hibited only one instance of positiYe violence was reported.
 oHn COMPANY YIELDS.
 This afternoon the managers of thr In- diana, Decatur and Western conceded the demand of the striking switchmen and the latter returned to work. The concession in- eludes g. 50 per day for helpers, $s.7o for foremen; 26 days to constitute month and ten hours days work, with pay for over time; the night men to be paid in excess in- proportion as heretofore, which is $5 per menth over that of the day men. The switchmen are jubilant over this victory, as the Indianapolis, Decatur and Western is considered one of the lightsst yards in the city in which to work, and if this company can afort to advance they believe that the other companies will be compelled to follow suit.
 THE swITCHMEN FIGHTING ALONE.
 Later developments to-day show that the engineers and firemen in the yards have not joined in the strike. When they went out during the night it was for lack of switch men, as they were unable to proceed. Con- with the engineers eyinced the fact that they are in sympathy with the strikers and hope the companies may grant the in- crease asked for. They state that they have taken no action in regard to the matter and do not know that they shall. The freight traffic is paralized. But one train got through at the stock yards over the Pan Handle and one over the Bee Line. In- coming trains continue to arrive and the blockade is growing. All the roads have sent out along their lines for new men, and it is expected sufficient force will arrive to- night to resume work tomorrow. The strik- ers, however, are greatly encouraged at the made by the Indianapolis, Deca- tar and Western, and many threats are made that if new men attempt to replace them there will be a big fight.
