HEATED DEBATE
On Irish Land Question in the
Commons, Wednesday.
Russell, Lib, Brings Up Abuses on
the DeFreyne Estate.
Wyndham Denies Charges, and |.
"CaIIed" by John Redmond.

London, July "a long and heated
debate on the Irish land question was
precipitated in the House of Commons,
Wednesday night. Thomas w. Rus
sell, Liberal, moved the ad-
journment of the House to dis
cuss the pending evictions from
the estate of Lord DeFreyne, in Ros-
common county, in connection with
which Lord DeFreyne recently had
writs issued against large number of
the Irish Parliamentary party, whom
he charged with conspiracy in the
matter.
Mr.. Russell declared that unless the
government interviewed toprevent these
evictions an era of trouble and turmoil
would be inaugurated. in the west of
Ireland where there was trouble
enough already. He said that he had
visited the DeFreyne estate three times
and that he was thoroughly convinced
of the injustice under which the ten
ants of the estae suffered. The people
in question were the poorest of the
poor.
Continuing, Mr.. Russell said he be-
lieved one word from Mr.. Wyndham,
the chief secretary for Ireland, would
settle the whole trouble and that he
thought the reduction of the rents col
lected on the estate by SO per cent.
would no be excessive for those bog
lands which were now renting for more
money than was obtained for decent
arabic land in Ulster county.
Mr.. Yndham replied to Mr.. Russell
with some asperity that he was sur
prised to find the latter siding against
law and order. The rents from the De-
Freyne estate, he said, had been re-
duced 81 per cent. in the past 20 years
and that he knew some of the organic
ers were making money out of the agi-
tation. His advice to the tenants was
to pay up. This statement was greet
ed with groans from the Irish men,
bers.
Hundreds had done so, said Mr..
Wyndham, and this remark was re-
ceived with Conservative cheers, and
many more would like to, but were in
Inundated. Mr.. Wyndham said it was
impossible to carry out the land pur-
chase scheme in ireland when it was
interrupted by agitators who desired to
make government there impossible.
John Redmond, the Nationalist lead
err in the House, characterized Mr..
Wyndhams statement as paltry and
fippant He declared that whatever
money was paid in rentals on the De-
Freyne estate was earned by the male
population working in England during
the harvest season and he contended
that the government was directly re-
sponsible for the happenings on the
DeFreyne property.
After other members of the House
had spoken on the subject Mr.. Russell S
motion for an adjournment was de-
feated by 231 votes to 1872

SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES

intelligently upon tile information which
the authorities had.

marshal, assisted by others, had recently
CLEANED. Several witnesses were called
before Insurance Commissioner Carr,
who conducted the examination. Suni-
cient evidence was brought out during
the examination anG otherwise to make
it plain in the minds of the insurance
commissioner and the marshal that the
fire was of doubtful origin.
It is alleged that evidence was drawn
out while witnesses were under oath, to
the fact that a certain infiammable SUBJ
stance had been found besmeared on por
tons Of the laundry.
Fortunately, however. one of the clerks
who is employed at the laundry, hap
pened TO come along just in time to dis
cover the fire. Apparently it was very
soon after the fire mad been kindled and
after quite struggle he succeeded in ex.
tinguishing the blaze. The fire was max
ing rapid progress when discovered by
the employe, and had it not been found
mt the time it was would undoubtedly
have burned tine building in short order.
The authorities are simply satisfying
themselves as to the origin of the fire, a
matter into which the proprietors are as
anxious to help as are the authorities ana
towards which they and their employees
are assisting in every possible way.

TO LOSE M. CAMRON.
French Ambassador May Soon 81
Transferred 60 Berlin.

Washington, July 3.-The officials of
the French embassy here are not pre-
pared to make any statement in regard
to the intimation conveyed in a press
dispatch from Paris. Wednesday, that
NJ. julius Cambon, the French ambasSa
dor at Washington, may be transferred
to the Berlin embassy, as a result of a
contemplated shift in the French diplo-
matte service. The ambassador him
self has left Washington, and, indeed,
was due to arrive at Paris, today.
Nevertheless, it is understood that
such a transfer for NJ. Cambon is well
within the range of possibility.
The present incumbent of the Berlin
post is the Marquis Of Noailles, who
was minister to Washington from 1871
to 1878, and who formerly served at
Constantinople. The Marquis is near
ly so years old and for some time it has
been expected chat on account of his
advanced age he would relinquish his
post at the German capital, making
transfers and promotions necessary to
fill the eight embassies of the French
service.
II. Cambon was accredited to Wash
ington in 1883 and has had an unusual
ly fine record Of service at Washington.
His departure would be q source Of
much regret among his official and So
cial friends here.
