EXUETANT LIBERALS.

Special Cable to the Globe.
LONDON, Nov. 15.-The Liberals are
in all eXultant mood just at present over
the prospect Of there being hard fight
in parliament in reference to the Scotch
land act, the provisions Of which en-
power the courts to reduce Or to entirely
abolish arrears in rent. This act has
been of immense benefit to the cr0fters.

peasants, and who are nearly as ready
to fight for their rights as their COM
rades in misery. Mr.. Gladstone will
settlement of the question of arrears in
rent in Ireland and give the Irish the
same opportunity OF relieving them
serves OF the burden of debt. Tie Lib
eral leader also insists that this plan
precede any further advances of money
TO enable tenants to purchase their
holdings, as contemplated by the scheme
to extend tie AShbCurne act. That the
latter scheme is designed to further the
interests Of Irish landlords is evident
from the fact that when w. Fl. Smith
made the statement in the house to-day
tnat the government would ask a
vote of e5,000,000 to extend the ASH
bourne act, he had just come from re-
ceiying. with Irish Secretary Balfour. a
deputation OF Irish landlords. Re
portcrs were excluded from this con-
ference, but the government leaders
announcement sin the commons was,
without doubt, the result of the talk.
Lively times are promised in the conf
mons during the debates on the Scotch
question and the Ashbourne act. The
Pail Mall Gazette views with alarm the
enormous sum that it will cost
the Parnellltes to support their
part in the investigation before the COM
mission. Seven thousand pounds out of
the 920,00O subscribed have already
been spent on the case. The Gazette
urges that the more high priced OF Mr..
Parnell's counsel retire until the con
cIlsion of the Times case, leaving the
Junior counsel to watch the proceedings
up TO that time. This advice is of
course based upon the assumpt Oh that

Il New YORK, Nov. 15.-The second
day of the convention of the American
Turf congress at the st. James hotel
has passed, and as yet nothing definite
has been done. The committee, con-
sisting of Lewis Clark, Gen. j. L. RolJ-
inson and j. E. Brewster, appointed On
Wednesday to confer with the repre-
sentative men of the East, went to the,
rooms of the Coney Island Jockey club
on Broadway and Twenty-second street
this afternoon to have an informal
talk with committee of the Eastern
clubs. The gentlemen they met were
Messrs. Lawrence, Galway, Wheatley,
Dwyer and Hunter, who represented re-
spectively the Coney Island, Monmouth.
Saratoga, Brooklyn and American
Jockey clubs. Closed doors was the Or
der Of the day and no reporters were
admitted. The scribe who gathered i'll

toned every committeeman as he came
to confer with his brother delegates,
but no satisfaction could be obtained.
the one reply being, Nothing has been
done" At 6:35 p. lii. the committee
made its appearance. A meeting OF the
congress was at once called and the re-
port of the afternoons work delivered
and dscoursed upon in secret. An
hour later both the committee and the
convention had been adjourned for the
day. Col. Clark and Secretary Bruce.
when asked for information, said that
the men had had very pleasant and
harmonious talk and that things looked
rather bright for all. HAS nothing
been done during the afternoon, Mir.
Bruce?" absolutely nothing" was
the reply. Phil Dwyer was in
clned to be as non-communicative,
but when questioned gave in few
points, and eventually rendered t0ler-
able account of the meeting. At the
committee meeting the question Of rails
ing the weight for age scale was first
introduced. 1t resulted in some little
argument, and it was finally agreed by
all present that the weight for two
year-oids should hereafter be 100 pounds,
and that for three-year-oldS, 122. This
decision though agreed upon by all OF
the committee men, is not final. as all OF
the Eastern men but Mr.. Dwyer have to
pnt the point before the executive COM
mittees. This will be done tomorrow
morning, so that when the congress
3cOnyeneS at Ii a. M, the mat
ter can be definitely set
tiled. Mr.. Dwyer said that he felt sure
that the new weight would be adopted.
The only other subjecttouched upon by
the committees was the licensing OF
jockeys. 1t proved a knotty question
and was left over to be resumed to-
morrow. Some Of the delegates were
in favor of licensing the jockeys before
they had mount, and Others after they
had winning mount. These matters,
as we'll as others Of equal Importance,
will probably be settled at to-morrow's
session, which takes place in the rooms
of tie Coney Island Jockey club.

PARIS, Nov. 15.-In the chamber OF
deputies to-day NJ. Basly moved to
suspend the import duty on cereals.
The government opposed the motion,
which, however, was adopted by the
chamber. NJ. Rouvier. chairman Of the
budget committee, requested a decision
as to how the budget debates should
proceed, in view of the fact that many
members of the committee had been
summoned to Mines to attend the trial
of NJ. Numa Gilly. Premier Flouquet
insisted that the first duty of the
deputies was to the chamber. No
change in the order Of debate ought to
be allowed. NJ. Paul Cassagnac said
that Flouquet's language was scandal
Gus. The chamber was in an uproar.
After heated discussion NJ. Basly
withdrew his motion regarding the
cereals duty. and debate on the budget
was resumed. y number of challenges
resulted from the days proceedings,
but all the affairs were amicably settled
eNcept-one between NJ. Cassagnac and
Nj. Gales, which will result in duel.

How Morton Killed the Bear.

Chicago Herald.
Paul Morton, the general freight
agent of the Burlington road, has just
returned from bear hunt in the North
west, and what is more. he has brought
back the skin of good-siZed bear. The
way in which he succeeded in captur-
ing this bear is told on the quiet by one
of the men who accompanied the party.
Morton arose early one morning to get
a good start, and as he left the tent he
stumbled over big box of Huyler's
butter scotch which New York friend
of his named Clancy had carried along
with the stores. Morton took the butter
scotch with him on his tramp with the
guide. and they suddenly came upon a
bear. In his hurry to escape from dan
ger he dropped the taffy and his bear
ship, in making his charge ran across
the candy and stopped as soon as he
shifted at it. He tore open the box and
gummed his wicked jaws together with
the sticky candy, and then he put his
paw in it i'll vain endeayor to release
himself. AS soon as Morton discovered
his dilemma, he came up behind the
bear and Drained him.

One day several years ago, relates the
Lewiston (Me) Journal, New York
lawyer, who had received $500 for sue
cessfuIly defending a burglar, was
called upon by his client, who requested
loan of $50, saying that if he sue
ceeded he would pay it back, but would
give no explanation of what he wanted
the mon y for. The lawyer, after con-
sidering awhile, concluded to let him
have it. Three mornings afterward,"
says the lawyer. who now tells the
story, 1.-The papers told Of a caring bank
robbery in Maine, and the description
of the suspicious characters who had
been seen in the neighborhood of the
bank tailed with my client. 1t struck
me very forcibly at first, but soon for
got it. Three months later [ received a
package from Australia by express, and
it contained just $500. With it was a
note which read: Here is your $50,

A UNIQUE Wager.

Several days before the election two
gentlemen, one Democrat and the
other Republican, made remarkable
wager Oh the general result. The loser
was to attire himself in his wife's gar
ments, with the addition of a silk hat,
and sit for six days in the curiosity hall
at the dime museum. The bet was
made with the idea that Manager Nc
Caddon would not permit it. But the
manager promised to do all he can
towards carrying out the bet. Accord
ingly the unfortunate Cleveland man
will make his first appearance as freak

Hints About Horses.

Medical Classics.
1t costs more to keep a poor horse
than it does to keep good one.
Change the food for your horses often
enough to make them relish it.
Improper feeding is the cause of nine
out of ten cases of sickness among
horses.
Sweat and dust cause the horses
shoulders to gall. So do poor. i'll fitting
collars.
Every time YOU worry your horses
YOU shorten their lives and days of use
fulnesS. s..
Affection cannot be pounded in. Kind
treatment ensures the affection of all
animal, white rough treatment is sure
to cause its hatred.
1t is alike dangerous to other horses
and men to spare the life of CLAN
dered horse. Chambers is highly con-
tagious, incurable disease, and, as a
rule, fatal in the human subject.
The temperature of water for horses
is not so much of an object as the purity
of it. While it is best to have it cool, it
is more important to have it free from
all impurities.
OF two colts similar i'll disposition and
sense, one may develop into steady
and valuable family horse. while the
other may be vicious, treaciler0us and
unsafe-all because of a difference in
the men handling them.
When horses are suffering from the
bites of flies or stings of other insects,
sponge the parts which cannot be pro-
tected by nets with water i'm which in
sect powder has been miXed-a table
spoonful to two gallons of water.
Mares in foal sh ,uId have exercise
and moderate work. and under no cir
cumstanees should they be subjected to
harsh treatment. nor should they ever
be allowed to go where they would be
in danger of being frightened.
The horse which can pillow an acre
while another horse is blowing half an
acre, OF that which can carry load of
passengers ten miles while anotherSis
going five, independent of all consid-
erations of amusement, taste or WHAT'S
called fancy, is absolutely worth twice
as much to the owner as the other. -

HoIYoKE, Mass, Nov. 15.-Edwin T..
Side, an Englishman fifty-four years
old, committed suicide by shooting HIM
self this morning. Side was plumber
by trade, but for years past
has travelled with Sanger's cir
Gus in the capacity Of an aero
naut, having made sixty-two ascensions
during his life. Side came to this coun-
try from England last Friday and ar
rived here on Tuesday. Immediately
on his arrival he went to visit Mrs.
Allen, who formerly worked as house
keeper for Side in England, but left
him year ago, and coming to this
country, married J. Allen. Last Tues
day he called on Mrs. Alien and urged
her to leave her husband and go with
him to New York. This she
refused to dc. This morning he
returned, and entering her bed cham
Der found her lying in bed. Seating
himself on rocking chair he told her
since she would not fly with him he
would leave her. Whipping out a re-
volver OF the bulldog pattern he placed
it to his temple and blew his brains out.
