cheers and ironical cheers.
Mr.. Morley followed MIR. Balfour, bun
the confusion became so great while he
was talking that his voice could not be
heard.
Mr.. Courtney, who was in the chair,
finally restored order and made digni-
fed appeal for compromise and couciIia-
ton. blaming both sides for their atti-
tude.
Mr.. Labouchere described the debate
as an exhibition OF works. He said
that Irishmen were dissatisfied with the
turn OF events which he declared would

1t is probable that the effect of adop-
ton of HarcourtS motion will be to
shorten the debate on the bill in COM

PASSAGE or THE EVIC TED TENANTS
ELL ~ Be fORCsU

LONDON, July 31.-Iu the house of
commons Sir William Har court moved
the closure of the debate on the evcted
tenants bill, and to apply the guillotine
to certain sections, in order that the
business of the session might be fin
ished by Aug. 9. Mr.. Balfour pro-
tested against what he classed AS "un.
precedented gagging," and moved as an
amendment that the house regretted
the adoption of methods which deprived
the minority of its just rights. The
amendment was rejected-217 to ia.
The motion for closure was then adopted
without division. MessrS. Chamberlain q,
Balfour, Saunderson and others left the
house, thus giving warning that they
would not take part in division on Sir
William Harcourt's motion for closure.
Much surprise was caused when the
motion was agreed to without division.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-The corresponds mt
of the Times at Pekin says that start
ling and painful impression has been
caused in government circles. and also
among the members of the diplomatic
corps, by the news of the, sinking by a
Japanese cruiser of the Chinese trans
port KowShung and the loss of SO many
lives. According to the reports
received at Pekin only eleven men of
the 1000 on the boat were saved. The
attitude of the Chinese government
since it learned of the loss has been
completely changed. Hitherto it has
been inclined to be conciliatory, but the
indications are now that she will pursue
the war against Japan with the utmost
vigor.
LII Hung Chang in an interview re-
Gently declared that if war were once
provoked China would fight to the bit

COMPLIED BY STERN.

WASHINGTON. July 31.-Louis Stern,
United States consul at Bamberg, in a
report to the department of state, gives
some advance figures from the statis-
teal schedule showing the agricultural
use of land in Germany. which will
confirm the statements of those who
have for years advised our American
farmers to engage in diversified
farming" Almost one-half of IT,
6O6, 600 hectares of the superficial area
of Prussia was used for agricultural
purposes IN 1893, an increase of $4,000
hectares over 1888. The conditions gov
erniDg the culture of products have
changed decidedly, and the agriculture
lists are very generally turning from
the extensive and almost exclusive Gull
tivation of grains to the growth of such
PRODUCTS as are now made use OF in the
industries allied to farming, namely,
the sugar industry and distilling bus
ness, the culture of beets and potatoes,
etc. thus promoting cattle raising at
! the same time.

Superiority Demonstrated.
SHANGHAI, July 81, 10 p. m.-News
has just been received here of deSper-
ate battle between the fleets of China
and Japan, in which the Chinese were
defeated and the Chen Yuen, the larg-
est battleship but one in the Chinese
service, was sunk, and two other large
Chinese vessels, said to be first-class
cruisers. were captured or destroyed.
The battle was holly contested, but the
Japanese appear to have handled their
guns, ships aud .torpedoes with more
skill than the Chinese.
The Chinese fleet engaged carried
nearly thousand men, and large
number Of them are reported to have
been killed or drowned.
Dispatches say that few, If any. of the
Chinese engaged in the battle escaped.
Two German officers i'll command of the
Chen Yuen are reported to have met
death with the crew of that vessel.
CHINA SWEPT FROM THE SEA.
The news of tht battle was received
here by private kilograms from Tien-
Tsin. If the report is true it means
that an end has been put to China's
fighting upon the seas. The Chen Yuen
must have started out from Tai after
| leaving the Chinese transports there.
The two Chinese cruisers supposed to
have been captured or destroyed during
| the engagement which ended so fatally
for the Chen Yuen are the Chin Yuen
and the Foo Ching. The Chin Yuen
was protected cruiser. built at Elswick
! Eng, and had attained an average speed
with all weights. batteries and crew
aboard. of eighteen and one-half
knots. Her armament consisted of three
S4-inch Krupps and two 6-inch Arm
strongs, protected by splinter-proot
shields. She also carried six Gatlings
eight Hotchkiss guns and four torpedo
tubes.
| The Foo Ching was also an English
built protected cruiser. very much SINH
lar to the Chin Yuen. She carried lei
guns Of about the same caliber as those
| carried by the Chin Yuen.
