DEBATING TIE IRISH LAND ELL.

London April l6.-The debate the Irish Land bill
was resumed in the House Of Commons this evening.
Mr.. Morley moved an amendment to the effect that an
advance Of money should not be anted under the bill
except with tho approval Of the County Council In the
district in which the holding for which the advance
was asked might be situated Tenants excluded from
the benefits Of the b lie said, were required to make
good the default OF favored tenants without having any
voice in the matter The provision was so indefensbe
that he understood that Mr. Baour nov consented to
modify It. The objection to delay peding the crca-
ton Of the Councils confirmed his beefthat the Gov
ernment had no real intention to introduce Local
Government bill. If they had such an htenton, the
Ashbourne act would fulfil all purposes mtil Local
Government bill was passed.
Mr. Balfour lnslnuated that Mr. Morley's peeeh was
for electioneerng purposes. lie contended that the
exceptional position Of Ireland justified exceptional
treatment He referred vaguely TO his suggested
modification as tending maim though not todestroy
the bill and said that 1t would therefore be onk app

of Chicago for another two year, Late this afternoon
the Democrats after learning of Creger's awful drop
in t0day's count raised a howl OF Republican fraud.
When asked to specify they said they had discovered
that in the Sixth Precinct of the Twenty seventh Ward
the polls were opened fifteen minutes before the hour APP
pointed by law in order TO allow lot OF workingmen
to vote. The Democratic Judge did not arrive until
@ O'Clock. 1t is asserted that 141 votes were cast
before he got there and that they all Republican
but how the Democratic Committee learned this Is
not told nor do they explain the rapid rate-over nine
minute-at which the votes must have been shoveiled
in. This, however is simply one of the last despaiIlhg
clutches of the gang at a straw to save themselves
from sinking.
There was O feeling Of dependency among tie
ofHceholders in the City Hall to-day. cloud hung
over the corridors and there dusting Of desks

THE GEEsTEMUNDE ELECTION.
PRINCE BISMARCK HAS NEARLY TWICE AS
MANY VOTES AS HIS SOCIALIST OPPONENT.

PRINCE BISMARCK HAS NEARLY TWICE AS
MANY VOTES AS HIS SOCIALIST OPPONENT
Berlin, April le.-Retums have been received
from seventy-four Of the ninety-one districts OF
Geestemunde, where the election was held yester-
day for member Of the Reichstag. The result
SO far as these seventy-four districts are con-
cerned, is as follows: Bismarck $3.50; Schmafeld
lsocialist). 5000; Adlof lFresinnige) 2,O9o !;
Plate Guelph, 1859.
The returns are sufficient to show that Prince
Bismarck must submit to the indignity OF a
supplementary ballot, unless as is not improb-
able, he retires from the contest. The
poll has been n light one. owing
to the great abstention of National Liberals.
Prince Bismarck is certain Of election on the
second ballot, as he now lacks only 1000 votes votes
by law, and the Freisinnige and Guelph
voters are almost certain to support him
or at least TO abstain from voting rather than
give the seat to the Socialist candidate, who is
cigarmalSer. 1t is expected that the supple
mentary ballot will be held on Sunday next.
