THE PEERS BACK DOWN.
Their Amendments to the Parish
Councils Bill Withdrawn or Modified.

1heIr Amendments to the Parish
Councils Bill Withdrawn or Modified.
The British peers considered the reasons
advanced by the house of commons for dis
agreeing with the amendments to the parish
councils BILL adopted by the house of lords.
The Duke of Devonshire dwet upon the
Importance of the functions of the house of
lords in raising barrier against legislation
which the country, as in the home rule
measure, condemned, but, he added, it
might impair the strength for good of the
house of lords if it insisted upon amending
the details of a bill the principles of which
it had accepted.
Lord Salisbury did not differ in the main
argument, from the Duke of Devonshire,
but said that he would not admit that all
the reservations by the house of commons
should be accepted. He said that it was
impossible to disregard the effect which the
rejection by the house of commons of all
the amendments passed by the house of
lords would have on the future relations
between the two houses.
The Duke of DeVonshire moved amend
ments that the acquiring or hiring of land
allotments be subject to the approval of
the local board instead of parliament. Both
amendments were adopted.
The amendment raising the limit Of the
parish from 200 to 800 inhabitants was re-
scinded.
Other amendments which originated in
the house of lords were either withdrawn or
modified.

THE CORNELL TRAGEDY.
Promise of One of the Perpetrators to
Confess

An Ithaca. N. Y, dispatch says: The
mystery attending the Cornell freshman
banquet tragedy already gives new promis-
es of speedy solution. In conjunction with
the clues pertaining to the auger purchased
at Rumsey's the permanganate potassium
obtained at Druggist Haskins, the detec-
tives will be furthered in their efforts by
the confession of one of the perpetrators
who, thus far, has refused to make any dis
closures because some of his colleagues are
unwilling TO concur in the step.
The jug story proves to be true in its es-
sential particulars. The occupants of the
mouse at Cook street disclaim any knowl-
edge or its purchase or its use. One of the
gentlemen who rooms there, however, has
LETT the city, and, according to the latest
developments, did so because he feared de-
lection.
The subject of the banquet has monopoliz-
ed the conversation of the towaspeople, as
well as the students. and Professor Collin
OF the school of law devoted his tall: with
the students yesterday TO the subject of the
punishment that would be melted out to the
culprits when apprehended.
The students bore the expenses of the
funeral of Mrs. Jackson, which was held
at the Zion NJ. E. Church yesterday after
noon.
The faculty have adopted resolutions, and
the students are preparing to mold a gen.
eral mass meeting to discuss the unfortu-
nate result of the banquet, and will proba-
bly, state the position of the student body
in the matter of the tragedy,
The public await with the deepest anxiety
the promised disclosures of the student who
stated that 1t was his intention to make
such disclosure.
Carl Dingens, the Cornell sophomore who
IS now suspected of completely in the
Ithaca chlorine tragedy, and is reported
missing from college, is not in Buffalo at
nome. His father, Joseph A. Dingens, i'm
mediately upon reading the press dispatches
mentioning his sons name, started for
ithaca. His brother John said that moth
ing mad been heard from Carl by the fami-
~, ana that they were eagerly awaiting
some tidings from him or his father.
