Rents IN Iceland

MIR. ParneIl Moves the second Reading of His
Arrears BtIi--A Plea for Its Adoption
LONDON, March 2L-In the House Of Com
mons. to-day. Mr.. Parnell moved the second read
ing of his arrears-of-rent bill. He said that he
and his followers still had an invincible objec-
ton to solving the rent question by general
bankruptcy of the tenants. If no legislation
had taken place he should have preferred to
deal with the Irish arrears in the same way that
arrears had been treated in Scotland under the
crofter's act. But it was desirable not to depart
from the foundation laid by the land act of
1887, namely, that courts in which proceedings
are taken because of the non-payment of rent
should be empowered within a limit of ESQ val

EMPERoR FREDERIcK.

He Is Said to Have Improved Slighsly-The
Attacks DIR. Mackenzie
BERLIN, March 2l-Emperor Frederick
passed good night and appeared much stronger
to-day. He received the Crown Princess this
afternoon A mourning reception will be given
to Queen Victoria at Charlottenburg on Satur-
day. Prince Bismarck visited Prince William
noon, and subsequently, had an interview
with the Emperor.
The attacks of the Berlin press upon DR.. Mac
kenzie have become so persistent and SO violent
that surprise is expressed on all sides that the
authorities have not resorted to prosecution of
the offenders. Had any German been so shame
fully abused by the newspapers OF the capital
the offending EDITORS would have found them
selves in the clutches of the law short order.
The savage articles hurled at Mackenzie do him
no harm, but they undoubtedly do serve TO in
tensfy the already bitter hatred of the people
toward the Empress, and this fact furnishes the
strongest reason why the authorities should pre-
vent their further publication.

Chicago Threatened with General StoppRge
of Building Operations.
CHICAGO, March 2L-The threatened strike
among the six thousand carpenters of the city
promises TO extend to other branches Of the
building trade, and another general disastrous
te-up, similar to that which this city expert
enced last year, may be the result of the differ
ences between the boss carpenters and their en-
ployes. The mill men, the employees say. are
responsible for the present situation, for the
reason that they can more than compete with
the contractors who do not own mills. thus
forcing carpenters wages down to the lowest
possible point Secretary Brennock, of the
Carpenters Council. said to-day: ''The mill
men who are contractors take jobs away
from almost any contracting carpenter, as they
work their employees ten hours per day
carpenters pay more for eight hours work.
Thus, with their own men, the mill bosses
put stairs, window-sashes and doors into huild
ing at the minimum cost, while the bosses
allnoet helpless. Now, what we intend TO do is
to compel the mill men to work their mill men
but eight hours Then we way clear
to get higher wages for the carpenters. The six
thousand union carpenters are going TO have 80
cents hour the minimum rate of wages,
and until we get it there won't be timber
hoisted or a nail driven"
The employers were notified, several weeks
ago. that unless these concessions were made
strike would occur on April l. The fact that
the men gave in last year tends to inspire them
with confidence in their ability 10 win any fight
that may be waged, and they say that they will
make concessions whatever.
