 LONDON, April 22.-Mr. Parnell moved the rejection of the Irish Lana Pur- chase bill in the House of Commons.
 He declared in his speech supporting the motion that the measure justified the claims of the Nationalists made nine years ago.
 He welcomed MT. Balfour as the latest recruit to the ranks of land reformers. While accepting the Governments re- cognition of the principle of the land tor the people. MT. Parnell declared that he could not admit that the bill was a satisfactory solution of the land question.
 The initial question was how far the British taxpayer would go in lending credit to the Irish landlord. The expe- rience gained by the discussion of MT. Gladstone's Land bill in 1886 showed that the taxpayer would not go far enough to finally settle the land ques- tion.
 The present bill was meant simply to enable one-ninth of the ownero of land in Ireland-these being the larger absentee landlords-to sell out at ex- orbitant prices, leaving their poorer resident brethren in the lurch.

Arbitration is the Ruling Sentiment aa
 the Secret Conferences at PittsburE.
 PrrrsBuRa, April 22.-Grand Master Wilkeson, of the Brotherhood of Train m.n, arrived in this city last evening, and has been in consultation with mass meeting of men in Knights of Labor Hall for several hours. The men have grown bolder in the presence of their leaders, and say they can stop all the trains from New York to Chicago unless the 16 points presented in their griev- ances were conceded them.
 The railroads have conceded all but five of these points, but the most inn portant--wages-rem to be settled. The wages on the Pan Handle Road have been raised equal to those on the Pennsylvania, but the men on the latter lines have not secured their advance. Men on the Allegheny Valley find their chief grievance (the deduction of eight cents for time taken at meals) is still ignored. Though all lines entering the city are running smoothly, the men are becoming defiant over the strenuous eff forts of railroad detective John T. Nor ris, and local detectives to centre non unin men here in order to anticipate a strike.
 Telegrams from outside, however ,say many men are afraid of Pittsburg in the event of 8 big strike. Wilkeson is still talking to the men in secret con- ference though it is said the ruling sentiment is arbitration and concession, as the railroads seem willing to give way to a certain extent.

Confding Citizsns Rushed to Subscribe
 for Worthless Stock.
 NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J.. April 22.- Several capitalists in this city have aged preceptibly within the past week and will carry lighter bank accounts and much more experience than for several years. Report has just reached them that @ glittering scheme into which they entered two years ago had come to grief. In fact, the whole thing had been a myth and they are poorer by some $20O, 1000.
 Early in 1888 one John Halsey, rela- tive of the late George H. Cook, State geologist, came here and talked up a silver mining scheme which had blossomed in Colorado. Halsey readily y boomed his mine, and actually sent his eminent relative to colorado to make a geological examination of the min c. Paying quartz was found, and when Dr.. Cook returned with the evidence local capitalists fairly tumbled over each other to get slice of the stock.
 The New Brunswick and Colorado Sill yer Mining Company was immediately formed. Halsey generously took $4O, 900 worth of stock and secured cash subscriptions for smaller sums amount ing to $2OO, ,OOO. Then Halsey disap- peared, and no amount of diligent search has since revealed his where abouts. It is believed that Halsey had saltsd the Colorado mine, and has vic timized his many dupes here. The min ing company exists now in name only, although they own an unknown quan' tMy of barren rock in Colorado.

A Costly Casket Containing . Skeleton
 Shipped to the Wrong Man.
 BOSTON, April 22.-Last Saturday two boxes were received in Waltham by ex- press marked "W. w. Marsh, Wa1tham, Mass, from w. A. Raymond, New York" They were similar to those in which dead bodies are shipped, and Mir. Marsh refused to receive them. as he had lost no relatives lately.
 The boxes remained in the express office till last evening, when they were opened. One contained a costly broad cloth covered basket, in which was a skeleton of a large man, fastened at the head by means of hook in the skull and ring in the wood. The mounting of the bones bespoke the work of u pro fessional.
 The smaller box contained parapher- nalia supposed to be for some secret lodge work. MT. Marsh professed en- tire ignorance of the intent of the sender and the skeleton will probably be turned over to the authorities.

Turks and Cretans Ready for War,

LONDON, April 22.-The Cretans are being deliberately driven to despera- tion by the Turks. There is every reason to believe that the first shot of a new civil war will be fired in Crete to- day at Ambellos, where all the prepara- tions for such an event have been made. The outcome of this latest attempt to coerce Crete cannot be predicted, but there will probably be some interfer- ence by the Powers to put stop to the butchery, not so much in the interest of the Cretan sufferers as in that of Turk ish bondholders, who do not want to see the Ottoman revenues wasted in a doubtful and useless warfare.
