ing of the Irish land purchase bill was
passed yesterday in the house of lords.
The measure now gees back for final
ratification to the house of commons.
where it originated, having been in
troduced by the Irish chief secretary.
Mr. Wyndham. and passed by a large
majority.
Several amendments were made to the
bill in the house of lords. but it is not
expected that the commons will reject
them and thus endanger the final pas
sage of the measure.
Abiding to those amendments, the
Duke of Devonshire said in the house OF
lords that, while he was unable to fore
cast the action Of the house of COM
mons on the landlords amendments
adopted by the house of lords, he was
confident that the position of the gov
eminent IN the lower house would not
be altogether irreconcilable.
Lord Abercorn. on behalf of the land
lords. thanked the duke for his reception
OF the amendments, and said he believed
the bill would benefit the whole of re
land. He trusted that the amendments
would be received by the house of com
mons in the same spirit as they had

WORKMEN IN RUSSIA
PIONEERS OF FREEDOM
Labor UpheavalS Blow at DeSpotlc
Government.

LONDON, Aug. 12.-The Times" cor
respondent at Vienna says dispatch
from Kieff states that sixty were killed
in the riots of Thursday and Friday.
Forty. including women and children,
were shot and 100 wounded in collision
with troops on Thursday.
On Friday, after the Cossacks had
been repulsed, the infantry was ordered
up, and the rioters took refuge in huts
along the river, where many were killed
and a number of corpses fell into the
river.
A ST. Petersburg dispatch to the 'Zeit''
states that the riots produced a deep
impression. 1t is felt that the govern
ment has to deal with a vast secret or
ganization, of which the present strikers
are only the vanguard. The Russian
press has been ordered to publish only
official communicates.
The sympathy of the educated classes
is with the workmen, as the movement
is directed not only for the amelioration
of labor conditions, but also against the
despotic system of government. The
workmen are regarded as pioneers il
political freedom.
