that tho Liberals have large majority IN

Gladstone. Homo Rule Bill.

Mr.. Gladstone ha, revised his home
rule bill. Muturod during long period
Of consideration by himself, and discussed
In detail by probable colleagues Of tho
next Liberal ministry, the measure has
now assumed such definite form rs to en-
able Mr.. Gladstone At any moment TO place
it before the country. Earl Spencer, Mr..
Morley and Sir William Vernon Harcourt
have aided him in shaping the political
features, while Lord Herschel especially
attended to the legal, constitutional form
Of the scheme. Lord Roscberry having
given his adhesion to the project, will
champion the measure in the House Of
Lords.
Regarding the principles Of the new
measure, enough has been officially ascor-
tanned to enable ono to state that II gives
the proposed Irish legislature fuller power

Railroad Accident in France.

A passenger train on the railroad

OF the embankment.

no one In these particular rooms At the
time and consequently no one was hurt.
II the missile had been intended:to iniure
anybody in the editorial room there Ia no
doubt that the effort would have been en-
inently successful, for the window glass
was broken, the castings shattered und the
furniture in the room badly damaged.
The oflices in the basement were also
badly damaged and, indeed, windows in all
adjacent houses were brokeu. The widest
rumors were spread and an enormous
crowd quickly collected. For time there
was much excitement. Notwithstanding z
every effort was made to search out the
miscreant the authorities thus far are
