LONDON, Aug. 4-The leaders of the
Unionist party in Parliament have served
notice upon the Government that IL 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-
vision for the compulsory reinstatement
of an evicted tenant with the assistance
of public funds the Unionists denOunce
as species Of plundering. provision
for voluntary reinstatement, giving the
landlards a greater degree Of control over
the arrangements for reinstatement. they
think, might avert the rejection Of the
bill by the House OF Lords, but otherwise
they contend that II has no chance OF
acceptance by the peers. The Irish mem
bers, while anxious to obtain some form
Of measure to relieve the present sit
uatiOn, feel that the abandonment Of the
compulsory provision is impossible.
4 COMPROMISE PRorossD.
Redmond and Sexton concur in seek
ing some sort Of a compromise that viii
enable the evicted tenants to obtain
speedy relief, as the Paris fund cannot be
reckOned upon for some time TO come.
IT is certain that the fund cannot be re-
leased i'm time TO alleviate the distress
which the coming winter is sure 20 bring.
but no form Of compromise has yet been
hit upon that Is likely 10 be acceptable
to the opponents Of the bill in It's present
shape. John Morley has written 10 Leon
ard Courtney, who Is charged with prl-
vate negotiation on behalf Of the OnlOn-
ist leaders, supuating that II the OH

proposal was laid before Lord SalisFdry
and the Duke of Devonshire, who refused
TO consider IT, but they offered the alter
native that IL the compulsory clauses OF
the bill were withdrawn before the meas
ure finally passed the House OF COM
mons the bill would then pass its second
reading In the House OF Lords. This ap-
pears TO be the end OF the negotiations.
The Radicals and Nationalists, discussing
the situation In the lobby, are agreed that
the Government ought to Immediately
appeal TO the country In the event OF the
Lords. The debate on the evicted tenants
bill In the House Of Lords has been fixed
FOR August 18th.
RosERrEY STICKS TO THE TURF.
Despite the persistent remonstrances
against Lord Roscbery's horse racing pro-
cliVitlos, which have been especially nu-
merOus from the dssident Liberals, the
Premier adheres 10 his sporting bent.
He has entered three horses for the
Derby Of 1896. and has similar number
for the Oaks while the entries for the
other leading events OF that year Will
include one or more OF his horses. The
Derby of 1873 is likely to become memora-
ble as having the largest number OF year
ling nominations OF any Derby on record.
\ notable feature Of this prospective
event is the large increase of foreign sub
scribers. which include the LOrillards, the
Kcenes, August Belmont, and Col. @. II.
Payne.
Several descendants of Iroquois, the win
ner Of the Derby thirteen years ago,
have been entered. The Prince OF Waes

Duke of Portland have together entered
seventeen horses and Lionel Rothscnhd
six. The entries comprise all the eie-
ments Of a great race.
