damage Terrific right as homesteader.
As Embree was leaving the land Office on
Saturday Terril and his brother met him at
the door. Terril drew pistol, and while
his brother pinioned Embree's arms Terrill

THE NEwFOUNDLAND QUESTION.
The Coercion Bill Elaborately Discussed in
the House of Commons.

LONDON, April 27.-In the HOuse OF Com
mons this evening Lord Knutsford. in behalf
of the Government moved the second read
ing Of tue bill TO coerce Newfoundland. tie
argued that IL did not interfere with local
colonial questions or the Independence OF the
colonial Legislature. Arrangements affecting
the fishery rights Of France were binding
alike on the colony and the empire.
The Government desired TO meet the wishes
OF the colonists as far as was consistent with
international obligation. II the colOnists
made general arbitration sine qua non the
Government must 90 ON with the bill. There
would be ample time in the House OF Com
mons 10 consider amendments. and he hoped
reasonable counsel would prevail.
Lord Knutsiord added if before the bill
should reach the Commons the Newlound-
land Legislature should have passed an
act sufficient 10 secure the observance Of
the modus yiyendi of 1891, the decision
of arbitratOrs on the lobster question
and the existing treaties, the government
would not proceed with the bill. But such
an act must be passed quickly. The Govern
ment was perfectly willing that the colony
should lie represented on the commission;
The fact was the colony had been requested
10 name a DELEGATE and had refused 10 do so.
Lord Kimberly Liberal leader: The bill
ought not 10 proceed until tho Legislature OF
Newfoundland has had time to consider the
