AID FOR EVICTED TENANTS.
Closure TO Be Applied TO Push the
Bill Through the House.


London, July 2S.-The cabinet have de-
cided that the only course to be taken in
order to secure the passage of the evic ted
tenants bill is a summary application of
closure. Simple as the bill is hundreds
of amendments have been filed to each
clause. The conservatives have con-
tributed the most of these, but the Par
nellite members have submitted some
drastic proposals which will involve a
long debate if the ministry allow them to
be discussed. For instance, John
J. Clancy wants to give the
arbitrators under the bill power to make
an unlimited grant to reinstated tenant
for the purpose of rebuilding his house,
sowing his crop, purchasing stock, and
| William Redmond has an amendment
which proposes that planter tenant re-
fusing to give up his holding shall pay
compensation TO the evicted tenant under
! the act of 1870. The debate on such amend
ments as these would be almost intermin-
able. Out of $50 amendments about two
| thirds relate to reinstatement of tenants
| in cases whore landlords are in posses
sion. Sir William Harcourt has signitied
| his intention to propose time limit for
each clause with final closure OF the COM
mittee stage on Aug Z. This programme
contemplaJes a division on the third read
! ing of the bill on Aug. II, with remOrSe'
| less use of the guillotine to bring it about
! This throttling of debate will undoubtedly
be held by the peers as an additional
! justification of the rejection of the bill by
the House of Lords.
A CONSERVATIVE LEAFLET.
| A lea1et has been issued by the conser-
vative electoral executive committee Civ
-. HaF
leaders of the conservative party in par
lament. These quotations have been
rightly interpreted as comprising the Off
cial programme and platform upon
which the opposition will appeal
! to the country. The compila
tion received the approval of LorC
Salisbury and Mr.. Balfour before its pub
licatiOn, these leaders preferring this
| method of indirect declaration, to 9
signed manifesto, the presumed idea be
ing that anything contained therein thai
may be Objectionable to certain classe;
or factions may be the more easily re
pudiated should such a course seem ad
visable.
THE REFORMS PROPOSED.
Besides the old shibboleth of union o
church and state a strong army and nav
etc, a new departure is proposed in tn
adoption of a referendum, or d "ect appea
to the nation on crucial questions, the ab
olition of the illiterate vote, old age pen
sions and the aliens bill, tn
transfer of poor and school rate
from local charges TO the imperia
exchequer and for agricultural laborer
easy acquisition of small holdings. AS al
additional sop Scotland is to get loca
control of private bill legislation ant
Ireland is to have local government on
popular basis. The programme is de
signed to offer every electOr some in
ducement TO support the conservative
policy. The plan is eyed askance by tn,
conservative press and received witt
jeers by the liberal papers.
THE BANQUET TO HARCOURT.
The proposed banquet to Sir William
Harcourt next Wednesday threatens I,
be fizzle A number of moderate liber
ais have declared that they win neithe
attend nor have anything to do with th
affair if it is to be turned into an anti
Roseberry demonstration, as it promised
to become at the outset of the prepa
rations This expression of feeling
has so disturbed the managers o
the affair that they have approached
Richard Haldine, NJ. p, Lord Roseberry'
Alter Ego, and that gentleman has prom
ised to be present as hostage for tn
discreet conduct of the meeting. ST
William Harcourt will also take occasion
to expressly declare his perfect harmon,
with Lord ROseberry. 1t is also learned
too, that two ministerial peers, the Mar
quis of Ripon and the Earl of Kimberly
have complained to Sir William HarcOur
of his recent sneering allusion to Lore
Roseberry's ownership of race horses
characterizing it as an act of dislOyalt.
TO his chief. Rumor does not state 81
Williams reply to this complaint, bu
ministerial members of parliament hear
from time to time, stories of his having
practically superseded Lord ROseberry a
chief of the cabinet, his superior knoWl
edge of business, com bined with degre
of bluff, verging upon insolence, making
him master of the situation.
