1t gave localities the strongest inducement
to maintain the honesty of tenants. 1t Of
fered solution OF the problem of congested
districts.
Taken as A whole the bill was great
boon to Ireland such as she never could
confer upon herself, and never could get ex-
cept from the party now in power. Hear,
hear.
Did the opposition seriously believe a
better opportunity for carrying out policy
favorable to land purchase in ireland would
ever occur? If they would forget the po-
ltical contest and ask themselves whether
they were likely TO find scheme materially
better they would aid in the great work
which the Government without party pur-
poses, had taken in hand. [Cheers].
MR.. sEXToN's COMMENTS.
Mr.. Sexton, Nationalist, said he could not
credit the Government with the impartial
feeling which Mr.. Balfour claimed for them.
The bill was landlord measure. It was
designed to enable them to get rid of prac-
tically unstable land. 1t was solution
of the land problem. 1t was betrayal Of
the country. [Hear, hear
In 1886 the electorate distinctly decided
that the credit of the State should not be
pledged to buy out the Landlords, although
the best security possible was offered. The
Government doubtless thought that they
would not get fresh lease of power and
must therefore do their best for landlords,
whatever might result.
Contrasting Mr.. Parnell's scheme with the
bill, he commended that it was better than
the Government measure. He warned the
Government that the class of tenants pur-
chasing under the bill would default pay
ment even without repudiation, the prob
able result being general strike against the
actions of the local authorities.
The land purchase bill passed the second
reading by vote OF 348 to 268.

A BUNCO STEERER'S TRUST.
Leading Confidence Men Have Combined to
Do Up the GuileIess Farmer.

DO Up the GuileIess Farmer.
New York Press.I
A score or more of the leading confidence
men and bunco steerers are reported to have
established trust among themsel yes. The
story, as told by one of them, is to this eff
feet: Each one belonging to the trust" has
put in s., 900 as working capital, and out of
the principal they have established large
liquor saloon here in New York. This place
is conducted by the president and treasurer
of the trust and is the headquarters of the
members. The idea is that in case any
of the members are overtaken by mis-
fortune the profits of the saloon will
at least keep them from starvation.
Besides looking out for this establish
ment it is the duty of the President to keep
track of the operations of his associates from
this point of safety. He does no crooked
work. Another duty he has to perform is to
read the newspapers OF all the principal
cities and so learn of the operations of his
comrades and to warn them of places of
danger.
The members of the trust ply their calling
almost exclusively among farmers. 1t is
considered great disgrace among crooks of
this order to be convicted of any of their
crimes-not on moral grounds, of course,
but for their lack of cleverness in getting
caught. Usually, three members OF the
trust work together in the territory assigned
to them. Generally they take one State at
a time and work it thoroughly. Before be-
ginning operations they deposit from 81, 900
to 81, ,000 in bank in the nearest town they
intend to work. The methods they adopt
for carrying on their swindles vsry. The
Oldest of them is the we'll known gold brick
swindle.

WASHINGTON, May IA joint meeting
Of the House and Senate Committees on I'm
migration was held to-day. Representative
Owen, chairman of the House Committee,
VINO, with Representatives Lehlbach and
Stump, investigated the subject of immigra-
tion at New York, made statement to the
committees of the result of the labors of the
subcommittee.
The inspection Of immigrants at Castle
Garden was pronounced farce. The OBJ
servation of immigrant officials is that the
undesirable element is increasing. Italians
are coming in hordes, without money, with
out clothes except what they wear or carry
in bags. Each is provided with a passport,
and all bound for Mulberry street.
Mr.. Owen said Italian bankers in this
country send agents to Italy to solicit
natives of that country to come to America.
Those agents swindle the Italians, charging
them as high as $50 for ticket from Naples
to New York, the price of which is $26.
Arriving in New York they go to boarding.
houses, kept or controlled by these italian
bankers, and thence are sent to labor under
contracts made by the bankers or padrones
with employers. Ii their paw is fixed at
81 25 day the padrone takes 25 cents OF it.
Besides, he furnishes the shanty in which
the men live while at work, and has a man
in charge Of that. The Italians are sus-
picious, so that it is impossible for Ameri-
cans to get at them.
Within the last eight years they have
almost entirely supplanted other races in
the ranks of unskilled labor in New York
City. In one square mile in New York are
20 000 mora of them than he fonnd auv.
where else on the earth's surface. They
observe foreign customs and are surrounded,
by Chinese wall, over which they never
come, and over which no American can go.
The quality is detriorating. The percentage
of Germans and Swedes is decreasing, and
that of Italians and Hungarians increasing.
Mr.. Lehlbach also expressed the opinion
that the contract labor law in its present
form was farce.

His Majesty's supposed subserviency to-
ward the Emperor Francis Joseph.
The insulting remark was heard by hum
dreds of people, who showed their detesta-
tion of it by raising loud cheers tor King
Humbert. A little later Queen Margaret
drove through the PiazzI del Popolo,
and some ill-looking fellows commenced
Kissing. The Queen, however, was
more than compensated for the Kissing
by the spontaneous and sympathetic en-
thusiasm to which it gave rise among
the populace at large. A storm OF
cheers burst out and was renewed again
and again, whenever and wherever their
Majesties appeared, and the good will and
loyalty of the people were so manifest that
Their Majesties prolonged their drive. thus
creating widespread feeling of confidence
and putting the people generally in the best
humor.
Altogether about 20 men have been ar
rested, but in most cases on charges not of
serious character.
Much Better Than Expected.
The whole day passed off more peaceably
than the authorities at one time feared.
Some small strikes took place dur
ing the day at Turin and Mi
Ian, and soldiers had several times
to dlsperse disorderly gatherings of work
men. The most serious disturbance oc-
Cured at Naples. 1t was caused by an at
tempt of Anarchists and Socialists to pa
rade the streets in defiance of the official
prohibition.
They started out to the number of 200
carrying black banners, but they soon came
into collision with the troops and police,
and were dispersed without difficulty. 1t
is reported however, that an inspector of
police was stabbed during the scuffle but the
statement requires confirmation.
In Naples and other cities few jewelry
shops were closed, but the majority re-
mained open. There is no doubt that the
men who left work were IN the minority.

direct into the so-called Noble Prater by
way OF Sofia bridge.
The direct route has been prohibited by
the police who feared trouble should the
demonstrators get into the enormous trafhc
which always flows along Prater strasse.
1t was noticed that each group OF workmen
was accompanied by one and sometimes
two leaders, wearing badges of red RIBBON !.
Now and then disreputable characters would
attempt to join the groups, but the intrusion
was quickly detected and resented by the
leaders, to whom ali bona ide workmen
seemed we'll known.
From every point of view the demonstra-
tion was an extremely novel spectacle. The
men passed into the Prater, strolled about
and chatted, while now and then several
men would get into excited argument. But
there were no bands nor banners. In point
of fact, there was no meeting properly So
called.
A Number of Little Meetings.
Instead of gathering at a central spot the
various groups made their way to the num-
berless little taverns which are to be found
in the Peoples Park and Franz josef
Land, between Crown Prince avenue
and the railway line, where they
demonstrated in their own way and
no DOUBT enjoyed themselves Tor several
hours. There must have been 40. 900 work
men in and around Prater Park by 2:30
o'clock, but the great open space looked
quite deserted.
In one part race meeting was going on
and it had been hoped the Emperor and the
bulk of the aristocracy would follow the
usual May Day custom of driving about in
their carriages, so that tine people could
feel they were not mistrusted by their
rulers and betters. But the Emperor did
not drive out, and the aristocracy and
bourgeoisie kept away from Prater Park all
day. The racing, however, was witnessed
by fairly large company, which included
three royal archdukes.
Toward sunset the workmen started for
their quarters, still, of course, in groups.
In anticipation of their return number
OF shops were closed by timid pro-
prietors, but up to the present
no disturbances have occurred here.
Demonstrations have been held in most OF
the large towns of Austro-H Hungary. Except
at Pesth, where there was slight collision
between some strikers and soldiers, the day
passed without trouble.

menrs Before the Supreme Court.
ESPECIAL rELEeRAM TO THE DIsPArcHI
Court to-day Mr.. Roger Foster argued the
appeal of Charles Palliser, of Palliser &
Co., a leading firm of architects in New
York, from an order of Judge Lacombe,
dismissing a writ of habeas corpus obtained
at his petition. Mr.. Palliser was arrested
in New York for trial in Connecticut for
the following circular, sent to about so post
masters in the Nutmeg State:
NEW YORK, October @, 1855
Postmaster, Black Hail. Conn.,:
DEAR Strive desire, in each county. place
through which to send out mail matter. as we
want to reach every business man. me-
chanic and real estate man in every State
Sgr by Pfnnr II ssR to from
the county seat In your State, say 10000 circu-
lars in envelopes, and each addressed, will
you give the same your careful attention, send
coming months uutil they are all out
and then render us statement
of same. with account of stamps we will remit.
We are doing this at other general store post
offices in adjoining counties to YOURS. and il is
perfectly legitimate, and we await your reply
in addressed and stamped envelope enclosed
herewith.
If YOU cannot attend to same, we must az
once send elsewhere. Yours very truly,
PALLIsER, PALLIsER & Co.
Solicitor General TAFT claimed that it was
unlawful for the postmaster TO sell stamps
on credit; that this circular was
equivalent to request to them
to sell Mr.. Palliser stamps on
credit, and that as the postmaster's
compensation depended upon the amount of
stamps sold by them, Mr.. Palliser's letter
was an attempt to brlbe them to commit a
breach of their official duty, and, conse-
quently, criminal offense.
Acting upon this view, Mr.. Wanamaker
has dropped the ak upon the neck of every
Democratic postmaster who sold to Pal
User & Co. postage stamps upon credit
and few of them who were arrested were
discharged by Judge Shipman, on payment
of costs and a nominal fine. Mr.. Roger
Foster contended that the postmasters
had the right TO sell stamps on
credit, provided they held themselves
responsible to the Government for their
value, as all of them had done; in no event
could Mr.. Palliser's letter, which only
promised payment of the official price of the
stamps, be construed as the offer of bribe
and that Mr.. Palliser had a constitutional
right to trial in New York, where the
circulars we're written and mailed instead
of Connecticut where they were received.
