1t was bad night for old Tim Burke With
the same eager, confident manner that has been
defined as the old mans iron nerve " he told
two new stories 10 Coroner Halloran about the
shooting OF his son-in-law, Frederick Bergmann.
Zach story differed from the other and from the
first story told TO Justice Vaughan at the exam
nation. The old man. smart a. he Is, seems un-
able 10 describe how the gun went Off without a
man behind it.
The little undertaking shop. which is called a
mprgue by the more ambitious villagers Of Cliff
ton, was gathering place for many idle people
last evening. They crowded the rooms, doors,
and windows. and exhausted the air supply un-
til the Coroner adjourned the inquest because Of
his inability to breathe. The spectators were Of
many classes and were interesting well AS
interested. Many OF them were grizzled old
fishermen who had known Tom Burke on the
beach for thirty years.
Then there were the children who could not

daughter, he suffered what was TO him the
greatest torture OF all-her refusal to come to
him after her mothers pleading. 1t was. indeed,
most unpleasant night for the old man.

IRISH PATRIOTS AROUSED.
They Make Bitter Speeches sad Vote
Against the Government.

IoNDoS Aug. coin the House Of Commons
to-day Mr.. Henry Peyton cobb asked II, before
the close Of the session, the Government would
announce its intention In regard TO the veto
power Of the House Of Lords.
sir William Harcourt said the gravity Of the
question would prevent an answer at the present
time
Mr.. Thomas sexton suggested thai measure
be inserted In the next Queens speech which
would prevent the House of Lords from making
the House OF Commons impotcnt in regard to
ireland.
LoNpoS. Aug. ~. The Irish Nntionalsts in
the House of Commons lost their patience early
this morning and showed plainly their disgust
at the failure ot all Irish legislation. SIR VIII
liam Harrourt Chancellor of the Exchepuer,
had proposed the postponement oftaking the re-
port OF supply. including the vote for the Lords
and oficials. Thomas sexton, anti-Parnellite
for North Kerry, had protested heatedly amid
the cheers OF the Nationalists and Radicals.
The House then went into Committee Of Ways
aud Means. Mr.. Sexton moved to rise and to
report progress to the House. sir William Har-
court replied:
IL hope such method Of hindering the Gov
ernment business will not be persisted in"
Mr.. sexton excitedly exclaimed that he and his
colleagues had had their patience so strained by
more. While Parliament temporized or declined
to act. the sufferings Of Ireland increased. The
Government had agreed with the Tories in the
present case 10 postpone certain orders He
would not be q party to this agreement; he
would press his motion. On division the Aotion
was defeated by vote OF 81 TO a.
James Henry Dalziel, Liberal for Kirkcaldy,
moved that the Chairman varate the chair. Sir
William Harcourt again protested against such
tactics. Mr.. Sexton repeated his accusation
that the Government were making common
cause with the Tories in certain matters. The
object of the postponement proposed by Sir
william. he said. was TO give the Tories an op-
portunty to drum up their party support for the
Lords vote. Nationalist aud Radical cheersl
Mr.. Dalziels motion and two other motions
Of similar intent were then rejected.
Justin Mccarthy. leader Of the anti-Parnell-
ties. moved that the Chairman vacate the Chair.
He charged the Government with lack Of
earnestness in expressing the feelings of the
Commons and the nation toward the House OF
Lords.
John Dillon supported Mr.. Mccarthy and re-
peated his charges against the Government.
Sir William Harcourt made q comprehensive
disavowal for the Government. No member OF
the Government. he said, had Willingly acted
against the sentiment Of the House and the
electors. He himself felt keen appreciation Of
the loyal support given by the Irish members

THE FOREIGNER IN JAPAN.

There are sixteen nations having
treaties with Japan, and they present,
in the foreign concessions, the singular
spectacle of sixteen little governments
all Independent of each other, dispens-
ing justice and admins ering as many
different forms of law within the same
territory. Each foreigner is registered
in the consulate Of his country. All
legal processes and suits against him,
brought by other foreigners or by ia
panese, are entered with and tried be-
fore his CONSUL except in the case Of
Great Britain, which maintains court
separate from it's consulate. If the
alien commits an offence against ia
panese law or regulation outside the
treaty limits, he can be arrested by the
native police, but he must be tried
and punished, if guilty, by his consul,
the japanese government prosecuting
the case, and it is also bound, on the
request of a consul, TO arrest deserters
and fugitives from justice who have
fed outside treaty limits. Certain GUS
toms fees and regulations are prOvid-
ed for, but failure to pay the former
be settled only by a consul. On the
other hand, the land in the foreign
concessions is the property of the
Japanese government, and is leased In
perpetuity to the foreigner at rate
per tsubo (six feet square, which var
les according to the location of the
land, is payable annually, and is the
only tax levied. The lease may be
bought and sold, but always subject
to the ground-rent.
In the Kencho (the office of the mu-
| nicipal authorities) is vested all police
and sanitary control, and the care OF
all streets and roads. but the police
cannot enter the premises Of foreign
er without the written permission OF
| his consul. In Kobe, the foreign set
