chase Of fodder abroad and its distribution
among the peasants on credit. In Hesse

LoSpcS. June 22.-In the commons to-
day Gladstone stated the alterations the
government had decided to make in
financial clauses of the Iirsh home rule
bill. He proposed . provision term

ments. No change in the managing or in

perial exchequer would be one-third
Of the ascerssined revenue; also the
whole yield Of any taxes imposed upon
Ireland by tho imperial parliament ex-
pressiy for war or special defense. At the
close OF the six years contribution the
whole arrangement would be revised. IL
would be provided that Ireland should
collect and manage its taxation. wiih tha
exception OF the customs and excise

John Raymond, Parnellite member for
