Second Reading of the Evicted Ten
ants Bill to Be Moved in the House
of Commons on Thursday Next.
Special Gable Letter.
London, July Ion Thursday next
John Morley, chief secretary for Ireland,
will move the second reading Of the
evicted tenants bill in the House of Com
mons Neither Mr.. Chamberlain nor Mr..
Balfour has the courage to lead the oppo-
sition against the bill, but between them
they have drafted an amendment, which
some conservative mem Der, little known,
will introduce, to the effect that
in view of the fact that i'm
portant English legislation has been sorelV
neglected it is undesirable at so late
period in the session to press forward any
measure drafted in the interests of an
undeserving class. After this amendment
is defeated, as it certainly will be, meas
ure will be proposed in committee at the
instigation of MIR. Balfour, providing that
she operation of the clauses relating to
compensation be voluntary, otherwise
landlords shall have the power to do
what they may please with the
claims of tenants. After the land
owners proposal of MIR. Balfour,
has been rejected by the House of Com
mons, as of course it will be, interest in
the struggle will be transferred to the
House of Lords, where Lord Salisbury
will assent to the second reading of the
bill, but under his direction it will be so
mutilated in committee as to make it i'm
possible for the House of Commons to &C
cept it on its return to that body.a
WILL BE COMPELLED TO ABANDON IT.
finally the government will be com
PEELED to abandon the bill, because of its
sncongruity. These conservative tactics
have not the merit either of skill or orig
Inality, and IN all probability will not di-
vert the odium of the rejection of the bill
from the unionist leaders, upon
whom the tories are hopeful of
fastening it, and at the same
time, the determine ton of the radicals to
take advantage of the opportunity to
prod the House Of Lords will be intensi-
fed. Sir William Harcourt promises to
make full statement Of the programme
OF the government for the remainder of
the session after the House OF Commons
has completed its consideration of the
budget. This will probably be done
on Tuesday. If at that time the
chancellor of the exchequer fails to an
nounee to the representative body that
the cabinet has decided to give effect to
the recommendation of the Leeds confer
ence, Mr. Labourchere, or some other
leading radical, will demand to know the
intentions of the government in regard to
the questions foremost in the radical pro-
gramme, the attitude of the ministry

TIE PARIS FUND.
The Irish parliamentary party is less
concerned over the prospective collapse
of the evicted tenants bill than would be
imagined, in view of the approa ching re-
lease of the Paris fund. How
ever, Messrs. Mccarthy, Dillon
and Sexton are urging Mr..
Merely to so draft the bill as TO provide
for the buying out of the landlords In
opposition TO this Mr.. Morley proposes
the formation of a court Of arbitration
charged with the duty of settling the
questions Of compensation to landlords
If the government shall grant e250, 600
for compensation the work of the arbi-
tration committee will be easy In the
present schism of the Irish party, how
ever, the nationalist feeling over the dis
position Of the Paris fund is greatly en-
FILTERED. The compact Irish-Catholic
section through their organ, the Irish
Catholic, says that goo of the

Parnell, or 10 their lawyers
Under the circumstances it is not re-
markable that the factions are not salts
fed, but it is equally true that the bulk
of the people of the Irish nation, so to
speak, are amazed at the cool DISPOSAL of

the fund is regarded by the peasantry as
a national treasure and it must be de-

THE CoREAN DISPUTE.
No special mediation on part of Great
Britain is contemplated in the Corean
dispute between China and japan. The
Earl OF Kimberly, secretary of state for
foreign affairs, acting in concert with the
government at St. Petersburg and Wash.
lngton, has been urging the Japanese and
Chinese governments to resort to peaceful
measures to solve their difficulties, but
neither Of the dlsputing governments has
asked for formal mediation, nor has the
British government offered to undertake
such offices. The new Chinese minister.
Kim Geta Jen, has arrived in London.
He avows, in his representative capacity.
Ine desire OF the ChlneSe government to
avoid conflict with Japan. The Japan
csc minister expresses similar senti-
ments on behalf of his government The
opinion of the authorities of the
foreign office is that war between China
and Japan has been averted, but at the
same time, if the two countries are de-
termined to fight, Great Britain cannot
allow Russia to intervene in the struggle
without opposition. Lord Kimberly
favors a naturalization of the Corean
treaty so far as regards the ports of Che
mulpo, Fues and Woensna, war or no war.
A PATHETIC LETTER.
Mr.. Gladstone has addressed a letter.
pathetic IN tone, to Sir George Russell
M. P, on the occasion of the death OF the
latter's father, Lord Charles Russell. Il
have seen, " he says. with the ewes of
others, an account of the death Of YOUR
father, or shall say that l have seen
that in the gathering your father has
placed his treasure where neither
moth nor rust can corrupt it, and has
also placed his dependence where it will
never fail with growing years. We feel
more and more that everything here is
but a rent. and that death alone in
tegrates us. l am going TO Pitochrie
(Scotland), hoping 10 return and hoping
to resume. if IL please God, the great gift
OF working with the strength of nv
vision"
