AID FOR ERTN'S TENANTS.
UliOniSt Leaders Give the Govern
ment a Hint.


Gracious Consideration of the Lords
ifIt Is Made Voluntary Measure.
Roseberry's Sporting Proclivities.
The Trades Union Congress-.
London, Aug. 4.-The leaders of the
unionist party in parliament have served
notice upon the government that if the
evicted tenants bill is transformed into a
voluntary measure it will have some
chance of receiving the gracious consid-
Grafton of the House of Lords. The pro
visions for the compulsory reinstatement
OF an evicted tenant with the assist
ance of public funds, the unionists
denounce as a species of plundering. A
provision for voluntary reinstatement,
giving the landlords greater degree of
control over the arrangements for re-
lnstatement, they think, might avert the
rejection of the bill by the House of
Lords, but otherwise, they contend that
it has no chance of acceptance by the
peers. The Irish members, however,
while anxious to obtain some form of
measure to relieve the present sit
uation, feel that the abandon
ment Of the compulsory provision
is not impossible. Messrs Redmond and
Sexton concur in seeking some sort of
compromise that will enable the evicted
tenants to obtain speedy relief, as the
Paris fund cannot be reckoned upon for
some time to come. 1t is certain that the
fund cannot be released in time to
alleviate the distress which the coming
winter is sure to bring, but no form of
compromise has yet been hit upon that is
likely to be acceptable to the opponents
of the bill in its present shape
MoRLEY's PROPOSITION.
John Morley has written a letter to
Leonard Courtney, who is charged with
the private negotiations on behalf of the
miOnist leaders, stipulating that if the
bill passes its second reading in the House
Of Lords, the government will consider
the elords' amendment in committeee. This
proposal was laid before Lord Salisbury
and the Duke of Devonshire. who re-
fused to consider IL, but they offered
the alternative that IL the compulsory
clauses of the bill were Withdrawn
before the measure finally passed the
House of Commons the bill would then
pass its second reading in the House of
Lords. This appears to be the end of the
negotiations. The radicals and national
lists, discussing the situation in the lobby,
are agreed that the government ought TO
! Immediately appeal to the country In tho
event of the rejection OF the bill by the
| House of Lords The debate on the
| evicted tenants bill in the House of Lords
has been fixed for Aug. ID.
RosEBERRY's RACING PRocLIvITIEs.
Despite the persistant remenstrances
against Lord Roseberry's horse racing
| proclivities, which have been especially
numerous from the different liberals, the
premier adheres TO his sporting bent. He
has entered three horses for the Derby Of
| 1895, and has a similar number of entries
for the Oaks, while the entries for the
other leading events of that year will in
| clude one or more OF his horses. The
| Derby of 1895 is likely TO become memor-
able as having the largest number
| of yearling nominations of any
| Derby on record. A notable feature of
! this prospective event is the large in-
| crease of foreign subscribers, which in
clude the Lorillards, the Keenes, August
| Belmont and Col. o. II. Payne Several
| descendants of Iroquois, the winner of
| the Derby thirteen years ago. have been
entered The Prince of Wales has nOmi-
mated three colts for the Derby and three
| for the Oaks. The Duke of Devonshire,
the Duke Of Hamilton and the Duke of
! Perth have together entered seventeen
horses, and Lionel Rothschild six The
entries comprise all Of the elements of a
! great race.
THE TRADES UNION CONGRESS.
| The trades union congress which will
| open at Norwich on Sept. promises an
unusual development of the political side
of trades unionism The session will
cover five days and notices have already
been given of l19 resolutions. The inde-
pendent labor organizations are endea7or-
ing to secure greater share
| expected. There will be hot
| fight between Mann and Fenwick who is
| also a candidate for secretary. The lat
| ter is accused by the independents of
being a confirmed government place
hunter. John Burns has given notice of
! his intention TO move petition to the
| government against further liberation Of
the House of Lords and other resolutions
will be introduced demanding such re-
form in parliamentary procedure
as will put an end 10 distractions.
There will also be resolutions aiming at
the amendment of the jury law, preven-
tion of pauper immigration, amendment of
the poor law administration, and calling
attention TO the necessity OF passing the
employers liability bill in the form in

ANNIE BEsANT YEARNs FOR REST.
II is reported that Annie Besant is
yearning for religious rest, and has been
seeking the ad vice of Catholic authorities
as TO whether her continuance as the
osophist Is consistent with her submis-
sion 10 church authority Theosophists
here are divided in opinion upon the So
ciety's recent decision in the case of Col
Olcott. None Of them impugn the hon
esty Of either Col Olcott or Mrs. Besant,
but there is some question as 10 their sin
cerity, and 10 what extent they may
have been imposed upon. A member Of
the society declares that the Mahatama
script upon which Mime. Besant enlarges
is simply a timsy native petition which is
in common use in India.
