TO the Times saying: "All that Stanley

that my brother wrote me TO prevent

financial cirles to-day that the Trow
Printing and Publishing company had
asked an extension of four months on
some of its paper bearing the endorse
ment of ii. K. Thurber, which has been
readily granted by the banks holding it.
The amount could not be definitely
learned, but il is supposed 10 be over
Sl25,00o. The president Of the bank said
he was sorry the matter became public,
for he considered the company per-
fectly solvent. All the notes dis
counted, he said, have Thurber's
endorsement and the bank is not worried
because Thurber's statements Of the as
sets foots up TO between three and four
millions.
The officers Of the Trow company could
not be seen this evening but from other
sources il was learned the company does
very extensive business. The total as
sets are considerably over million, which
greatly exceeds the liabilities, and the
opinion is expressed that there will be no
trouble after the first OF the year. Mr..
Thurber declined to talk on the matter.

THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Discussion on the Question of the Land
Purchase Bill.

Discussion on the Question of the Land
Purchase Bill.
lBy Anglo-American cable to tho Dispa,chl
LONDON, December I'm the House
of Commons to-day MIR. Balfour moved
that the Irish land-purchase bill pass
its second reading.
Mr.. Ellis moved an amendment, de-
claring that the land bill was an unsafe
measure as regarded the Imperial Ex-
chequer. and that it was unjust to the
occupier Of the land.
Mr. Gladstone said he found nothing
in the changes made in the bill since the
last session that was likely to render Its
character more satisfactory. There was
a removal OF the twenty years limit with
the proposal that the country rato-payers
have the power TO vote whether or not
the country funds should become liable
for the sums borrowed in the purchase
Of lands. Did Mr.. Balfour recognize
the probability that the rate-payers vote
might stop the purchase OF land Ia many
districts? Mr.. Balfour here nodded as
sent.
1t was an importantproyislon affecting
the whole measure. He reminded the
House. in view Of the fact that partlcu-
lar circumstances prevented the presence
OF the Irish members tonight, 1t would
be a great mistake b pass land bill
that was opposed to their desires and
convictions. At any rate, he would not
dwell Oh that point The want OF IRISH
authority went 10 the root of the whole
matter and impelled every true'friend OF
Ireland to oppose the bill.
TIKI AMOUNT REQUIRED.
Mr.. Chamberlain asked Mr.. Balfour il
he had calculated the amount required
under the bill, and by what area it was
limited. His estimate, he said, placed
the total at less than one hundred mil
lion pounds. He advised Mr.. Baliour
10 withdraw concession removing the
twenty years limit, but to adhere to the
rate-payer' plebiscite.
Mr.. Baliour replied thst he estimated
the total amount required to complete
the purchase at 800, 100000. The bill
in providing for an advance OF e33. OOO.-
600 would mako great impression and
would greatly simplify the problem.
He would reconsider the question OF q
twenty-years' limit. The rate payers
plebiscite scheme he considered valua-
bic alteration to the measure.
Referring to the evictions which might
arise from q default Of the tenants IN
buying the land, Mr.. Balfour denied
the State would become the eyictor
that the process he stated would be
undertaken by land commission acting
in the interests OF the local authorities.
