Mr.. Arthur Raymond Heath, Cohserva-

Several arrests we're made at Trieste Tues
day, and several houses SEARCHED in connec-
ton with the arrest of an Irredentist at
Venice, en- route for Trieste, on December q
The police are convinced of the existence of
revolutionary plot, and believe that the
persons arrested are deeply implicated
therein.
1t is stated upon the highest authority that
the large increase in the British naval
strength which the admiralty officials have
promised with an air Of self satisfaction
manifestly intended to convey the impress
sion that the supremacy of the British navy
had once more been established beyond dis
pute, really amounts only to the addition OF
three ironclads, two barbettes and one turre'
ship

Tables Reserved for Gentlemen.

On entering one of these women's
restaurants it gives man queer feel
ing to see one or two lonely little tables
in dark corner marked reserved for
gentlemen" This he feels is turning
the tables on him with vengeance,
and, as a rule, they are rather Stunned
by men who go to restaurants for the
purposes of eating only. Women like
them we'll, however. They are, as q
rule, moro economical feeders" than
mon and like to go where they can
order 10 or Is cent meal without
feeling snubbed Some Of the checks
run higher, Of course, but not much
higher, as q rule.
They feel ut homo in these places
and frequently take off their hats as
well as wraps and spend thrce7quarters
Of on hour over cup Of tea without
feeling il tho way. This is ono of
their moet conspicuous failings from
the pToprietor's point of Wow. Where
100 women will not order moro than
half 90 rauch rs 100 mon, they will
occupy tho tables twice as long. Still
there is more profit in the food women
buy than in mems. Men cat mostly
meats, in which there is remarkably
little profit, but women incline to ice
cream, cake, charlotte russo, fruits,
pic, tea, chocolate, ETC., in which there
IS plenty Of profit to the dealer. Now

Scilin@ Fruit in England.

The manner of selling fruit by tho
commission houses of Liverpool, Lon
don, Glasgow and Edinburgh was OK
planned. When the fruit arrives it is
docEcd, and no time is lost by tho con-
s;gncc in dispo5ing of it. The fruit is
divided into Stacks, tights and vets.
Tho Stacks ere those barrels where tho
fruit rattlcs around, and brings less
than the tights, which is supposed to
be primo fruit. The barrels e@5 sell
dom opened and cmptied. The com
mission firm then auctions them off
according to the grades noted above.
Tho vets arc presumably those
apples that are damaged, or sweat dur
ing the voyage over. A trick often
resoTtcd TO by some Of the foreign
firms is TO take barrel of Stacks, re-
movo tho head and put IL few sound
apples, and prime barrel of tights is
the result. Thus, the barrel brings the
leading price. In this way, Oh a recent
shipment OF car load of apples, 100
barrels, saving of $35 was noted the
shipper. Very few houses in England
win DO this, and there is need of a
largo consignment house there that
will take American fruit, sort and pick
applcs over end put them on the mar
lsct il good condition. New York

Of Commons.

E2zn ISM TROOPS no sUAKIM

To Ala the Force Now CHARTERED There.
Reference TO the Rxtension Of the Ash
bourne Act Other News OF Interest
From Europe.
LONDON, Dec. Elm the house of com.
mons Tuesday evening Lord Randolph
Churchill moved to adjourn the debate in
order to discuss the question Of sending
British troops to Suakim. He thought the
government was ignoring the advice OF the
highest military authorities. A battle was
eimminent between the British troops now
there and the Arabs, with the British force
entirely inadequate to cope with the enemy.
He implored the government to take imme-
. date steps to prevent the threatened
slaughter Of English soldiers. Little reliance
was to be placed upon Egyptian troops, as
experience had shown.
Mr.. Stanhope, secretary for war, replied
that the government had acted upon reliable
information on the matter of the adequacy
of the force sent Tue same quality OF in-
formation attested the fact that the black
troops at Suakim were perfectly reliable.
Lord Churchill's motion was rejected by a
vote Of 81 to ls9.
Lord Randolph Churchill's action created
quite sensation and opened the eyes Of the
government to the certainty that it will &c
hard with them II they attempt any opera
tions Ia the Soudan not previously explained
and specifically authorized
z Receiving fippan5 reply to his very nat
ural and extremely pertinent question from
Mr.. Stanhope, secretary Of war, Lord
Churchill suddenly moved an adjournment
In order, az he stated, to enable discussion
Of the propriety Of sending TO Suaklm q
small British force to play second fiddle &c
the Egyptians The motion was wholly I'M
expected, and Lord Churchill's action plainly
indicates that even Tories revolt against the
governments recent tactics in Egypt.
This Tory papers infer from various cir
cumstances connected with the debate OF
Lord Randolph Churchill's Suakim motion
in the house, that Lord Churchill had re
ceived intimaMon OF Mr.. Gladstones inten.
ton to move the adjournment of the house
in order TO protract the discussion. The
Conservatives were ignorant OF such inten
ton, but nevertheless summoned Lord
Harrington from Dsvonshirs house in great
haste, and scourei the clubs to secure the
Attendance of all the Liberal Unionists.

InsinuatIons Against Gladstone.


LONDON, Dec. 6 Some of the advanced
Irish fncJion have gone 50 far as to insinuate
that Mr.. Glatlstone's proclivities, by reason
OF his nationality, prevented him from doing
justice to himself and mis- subject in his pro
test against the passage Of the extension to
the Ashhourne act This is the height of un-
kindness, for it was generally considered by
his friends that the ex-premier had hardly
ever boon more effective. Mr.. Parnell's de-
feated amendment, on the other hand, is re-
garded as having been i'll considered, though
it is doubtful II anything could have pre-
vailed against the we'll drilled majority
whose opinions or votes hardly any occur
renee could change.
The Tories of course, consider that the
expenditure OF the considerable sum set
apart III the bill will consolidate English
rule In Ireland, but $4,000, 900 we're the
scheme to prove such success as its friends
4 boldly claim for it, in the face OF experience
the previous sum appropriated not having
shown any desirable results, bids fair to only
encourage heart burninys and envy among
those land owners, whose possessions would
not be taken off their hands against their
more fortunate fellows
These latter would be outnumbered
twenty fold and the friends Of the admins
traton. it may be supposed, would be first
taken care of. Some ut tines, are such ex-
tensive land owners that by the time they
are satisfied there will be nothing left for
the really needy landlords whose always
modest incomes have been reduced to little
or nothing
Thus IL seems that the government will
relieve men like the duke Of Abercorn and
other relatives Of officials. paying them for
property which has latterly returned a
small rate of interest sums far above the
market value, enabling them to thankfully
retire from their present awkward and
profitlesS positions, with capital which
~they can place in more promising invest.
mentS mt home or abroad
The government, having put itself in the
position ut landlord, will, in the Case of IA
tenants falling into arrears, present to the
world the undignifed spectacle of great
empire in the double role of Insurer and
evictOr
The Irish tenants are naturally su'pcDus,
as might be supposed, of any philanthropic
schemes proposed by the Tories, especially
when, as In tine present case, the landlords
get ali tho visible relief And tney themselves
see nothing but the prospect Of purchasing
the acres they have hitherto titled at II price
which has nysteriously increased in conse
quenc of It's change Of ownership.
