Hon. G. j. Goshen Says Nations Must
Also BE Prepared to Fight.
LONDON, Feb 26.--Mr. G. j. Goschen
first lord of the admiralty, speaking at Lew
iston, said that concilation, negotiate and
arbitration might be valuable, but woe to the
nations lacking the courage to back their
opinion by their own resources. The new
system cf logrolling and bartarjng fer
alliances, he said, had displaced the old sys-
TEN of balance of power between European
nations. England was not clever at this game,
he added, and had held aloof, although her
alliance was courted by several groups f
powers. "Our isolation, therefore," Mr..
Goschen continued, 'is not one Of weakness,
but of freedom to act Independently. This
has caused MISUNDERSTANDING but it is hoped
that recent complications have shown our
neighbors that the national spirit is not
dead, and that on certain occasions, we
might be combustible. Without betrayng
secrets, / might say that a very distin-
guished German statesman, not Prince Bis
marck, has been convinced for years that
England could not be moved to war by any
thing short of an attack on her central in
terests in this country. That was a danger
Gus fallacy, which has now probably been
dislc dyed"
He was able to say, Mr.. Goschen added
that our relations with the German emperor
were now as cordial as they could possibly
be. He concluded with a reference to tine

NO RELIEF FOR THE TENANTS
Commons Rejects the Second Reading Of
the Evicted Tenants Bill.
LIBERALS SUPPORT THE MEASURE
Conservatives Maintain There Are
Only Few Persons Who
Would lie Benefited
by II.

LONDON, Feb. 26.-Mr. ]. j. Clancy,
Parnellite member for the north division of
Dublin county, moved the second reading
of the evicted tenants bills in the House
Of Commons tcday. This measure is of
a voluntary nature, not compulsory, and pro-
vides that board of Cancellation. consisting
of three members, to be appointed by Parlia-
ment, and empowered to confirm existing
agreements, or to renstate tenants by pur-
chase, or as tenants under judicial rent.
The number Of evicted persons is few, and
the matter, it is claimed, could soon be set
tied
Mr.. John e. Redmond Parnellite mem
Der for Waterford and Mr.. John Dillon, anti
Parnellte member for East Mayo, supported
Mr.. Clanceys motion.
Mr.. j. A. Rentoul, @. c., conservative men,
Der fer East Down, moved the rejection of
the motion on the ground that the measure
under discussion involved the principle that
tenants evicted for nonpayment of rent
would receive large grants of money and re-
/ instatement.
! Mr. John Morley, liberal, said he could not
understand how the bill could be resisted
and suggested that the Irish church surplus
fund be devoted to It, C-ntinuing Mr..
Morley said that the duke o: Devonshire and
other unonists, opposed his bills because
1t was compulsory, but declared that they
would support voluntary bill. Therefore
they had changed its provisions, and now
| he would be disappointed if the Conservative
| leader, Mr.. A. j. Balfour, first lord of the
| treasury, did not assent to its second read
| ing.
| Mr.. Gerald Balfour, chief secretary for
| Ireland said that a policy of Cancellation
| did not mean granting everything demanded
| by the Irish members. The bill in question
could not be justified unless a public evil
| Of grave magnitude existed and which re-
quired an exceptional remedy He did not
| think they were justified in expendng ESQ.,
| 600 of public money upon CSC evicted tenants
| of 1898, at the present time. especially as
| 376 of this number, of whom 100 belonged
| to the Ponsonbury estate, were coming to
amcable settlements of the differences be-
| tween themselves and the landlords. Con-
tinuing Mr. Balfour said that the adoption
of bill providing for the payment of money
to thoae who refused to pay their obliga-
tions was another step downward in the
decentralization of Ireland. The government
land bill, he asserted, would deal with the
matter in an adequate manner Mr.. Balfoir
said that he would strengthen the hands
of members in asserting that under the same
circumstances the tenants could resort to
the same plan of campaign.
Mr. Clancey's motion that the evcted ten
ants bill be read for the second time, was
then put to a vote and rejected by 271 to
ia.
