s5 LONDON. October sI.-An imprisoned
condemnation of British rule in Ireland
was again heard from the Nationalist sec
ton of the House of Commons tonight.
The proceedings were occasionally inter-
rupted by the taunts with which the
scenes are regularly accompanied. With
the assistance OF number OF Liberal
members, including Sir. Henry Camp
bell-Bannermann and Sir. William YER
non-Harcourt. the Nationalists mustered
sufficient votes to permit William
S O'Brien to move the adjournment OF the
House for the purpose of discussing the
proclamation OF the crimes act in Ire
land.
Mr.. O 'Brien argued that the harsh adj
nlinistration of this act was endangering
the peace of Ireland He accused the
Chief Secretary of Ireland. Mr.. Wynd-
ham, of employing English power to en-
able the territorial magnates of Ireland
to play their own game He contended
that Dublin was much more peaeable
than Birmingham. and said the Irish
were prepared to make generous terms
with the landlords il the latter would
act as IrishC.cn. instead of posing as
ocuntryless half-sasts.''

State Department for the negotiation of
q canal treaty on the lines of the Spooner
act has reached Washington, and was
presented to the State Department by
Mr. Herran. the secretary of the Colon

It is difficult to learn the exact nature
OF this communication. but it is known
that it is not altogether in unqualified ac-
cordance with the State Departments ex-
pectation. For one thing the Colombian
government is dissatisfied with the small
amount OF the payment to be made to
it by the United States. This sum is
81. co., 900. Colombia wants at least sIe,-
0O000O. The original proposition was to
wait fourteen years before the beginning
OF the payment OF the annual rental

In a session full Of interesting features
and which will enjoy the disuncuon OF
having been the next longest meeting IN
the history of the Richmond City Coun-
Gil. the Committee on Ordinance, Charter
and Reform last night passed resoiu-
5tions recommending to the parent pooy
that the pay of employees OF the city pe
advanced to such an extent that the CITY
Treasurer will be called upon to sign
vouchers for $500 more next year than
was allotted to the pay-rollss of the twelve

While over one hundred attaches of
the city government will enjoy an in
crease in salary as a result of the de-
5liberations last night, IS least two will
suffer in the opposite direction, the COM
nlittee having decided by a unanimous
vote to recommend to Council that the
500, which is yearly paid to DR.. Hoge
and DIR. Garcin as members of the Board
Of Health. be turned into the treasury.
