ENGLAND AND IRELAND.
Sexton Tries to Catch the Conserve
tives Mapping in the House.

Sexton Tries to Catch the Conserva-
tives Mapping in the House.
LONDON. Feb. 15.-In the House Of Com
mons to-day Mr.. jackson, chief secretary
for ireland, stated that the whole sum Of
&c. 600 assigned for purchasing land in
Ireland under the Ashbourne act had been
absorbed. The pending applications for
advances amounted TO e36l ,5S4 above the
sum provided by the act.
In the debate In the House this evening
on the address in reply to the speech from
the throne Thomas Sexton moved an amend
ment, OF which he gave notice a few days
ago, declaring that majority of the Irish
people and their representatives In parlia-
lnent are convinced Of the inability OF the
imperial parliament to legisiate for Ireland
In the manner required by the distinctive
interests Of that country, and that this con-
viction has been intensified by the manifest
failure OF the land purchase act 10 afford q
basis for an extension of the class OF oocu-
pying tenants
Mr.. Sexton held that the proof Of English
inability to legislato for Ireland was found
in the fact that while England, since the
union had progressed by leaps and bounds.
Ireland had been reduced TO the lowest level
she had seen within a century. Through
the stupendous transaction Of five years
under the Ashbourne act, he said, not a
penny had been lost by the state. the securi-
ties provided for under the Ashbourne sys-
tenn of purchase being all sufii-
cient, but the purchase act
of 1891 had fatal blot
in the insurance fund forthcoming the act
TO failure. AS a result not pound of guar
anteed land stock had been taken. The
eviction clauses had also failed. They had
tempted the landlords to ask exorbitant
prices.
SHOULD BE SET FREE.
II Ireland was set free to manage her own
affairs parliament would be free to manage
English affairs
Mr.. jackson, chief secretary for Ireland,
replied that Mr. Sections criticisms Of the
land act were premature. The act had been
in operation only a few months. Special
causes accounted for the small amount of
business yet done under the act. When the
tenants had time to appreciate the value of
the land stock, that stock would find a ready
market.
Mr.. Sections Amendments was rejected by
close vote of l79 30 1853. The announce
ment of the figures was received with pros
longed opposition and Irish cheers.
The address in reply to the speech from
the throne was then formally adopted.
To Mr. Sections query whether a local
government bill for Ireland would be intro.
duced on Thursday, Mr.. Balfour nodded in
the affirmative.
The government had expected the debate
on the Sexton amendment to be adjourned,
and many government supporters left the
House with that understanding. There
was great surprise, therefore, when Mr..
McLaren ,Gladstonian) moved to close the
debate. and much anxiety was felt until the
figures were announced, showing that de-
feat had been narrowly averted.
The Morning Post, referring TO the action
Of the Sextonites In closing the debate, says
it does not grudge them Whatever satisfac-
tion they derive from such palpable trick

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The ways and
means committee will report three tariff

bill and the Turner (of Georgia) bill placing
cotton ties, cotton bagging and machinery
for the manufacture of the same

the full committee has been called for
tomorrow morning. at which these meas
ures will be brought to the front and pre-
liminary steps taken to send the bills to the
House before the close of the week. The
Springer wool bill, as finally amended, was
unanimously approved by the democratic
members Of the committee at to-day's con-
ference. The bill is entitled "a bill to place
wool on the free list and to reduce the du-
ties on woolen goods"
THE FREE BAaGTNG BILL.
Mr.. Turner's free bagging bill is as fol-
lows: THAT the following articles, when
imported, shall be exempt from duty
namely: Bagging for cotton, gunny cloth,

flax, jute or jute butts; cards, rowing
frames, winding frames, softeners and other

poses and hoop or band iron, or hoop or
band steel, flared, splayed or punched, with
or without buckles or fastenings."
FREE BINDING TwINE.
The free binding twine bill, which the

brief and merely provides that from and
after it's passage all binding twine manu-
factured in whole or in part from thistle or
tampico fiber, jute, manila, sisal grass or
sum, shall, when imported, be exempt from
duty"
Various binding twine bills wers reported
to the special subcommittee OF which Mr.

lieu, OF as a substitute, for all the bills on
this subject. No binding twine has been

ROMH'S IDLE TOILERS.

The Situation so Dangerous That the
Troops Are Held in Readiness
ROME, Feb. 15.-The unemployed work.
ingmen of this city and vicinity threaten TO
give much trouble to the authorities. They
have threatened to wait no longer for aid
from the governments. but TO demand that
they be furnished with work and other re-
lief. To-day the situation became so crit
ioal that the troops were confined to their
barracks SO as to be ready for any duty
they might be called upon to perform.
There is no doubt that an uneasy feeling
among the working classes. particularly
those who have no employment at present,
is due ia great measure to the trial of
Cipriani and other men who are charged
with riot on last May day, and the trials
have been suspended for time.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Feb. 15.-On Jan. 1
all the saloons in Charlotte were closed be-
cause the board of county commissioners
refused to grant licenses. There were thir-
teen saloons in Charlotte and they paid an
annual city license tax of 81 900 each. This
license tax was appropriated to the support
of the city graded schools. The refusal of the
commissioners to renew the saloon licenses
has cut of this source of revenue and the
city aldermen at q recent meeting notified
the school board that there is no money in
the treasury to maintain the schools Legal
papers have been served upon the commits
sioners to appear before Judge Bynum on
Tuesday, Feb %, and show cause why
license should not be granted to certain APP
plicants. The commissioners in various
counties have been refusing applications for
license wholly upon the ground that no man
who applies for license to sell whisky can
have good moral character, and the whole
state is interested in the outcome Of the
Charlotte affair.
