PEERS FIGHT IRISH LAND BILL.
Government Beaten Twice Sn Divisions
OF the House OF Lords.
prctM Cob'e Despatch to THE SUN.

Special came DrsD0fch 10 THE SUN.
LONDON, Aug. 6.-The Government Is
meeting with difficulty in steering the Irish
Land bill through the House Of Lords,
which was occupied o-day with the measure
in its committee stage. Amendments were
pressed with persistence by the landlord
interest, and the Government was twice
defeated on divisions in the evening.
This was mainly owing to the presence
of many Irish peers. who are seldom seen
in Parliament, but who have found it pos
sible to attend now to defend their own
interests.
While the bill was in the House Of Com
mons one of the stifYest fights that the
Nationalists put up was 10 secure the right
to make bargains regarding the. sale and
purchase of estates outside the zones
where prices were fixed Mr.. Wyndham,
Chief Secretary for Ireland. and the in
PRODUCER Of the bill finally yielded the
point when it seemed apparent that the bill
otherwise would be wrecked.
Lord Clonbrr OK, an Irish peer, moved in
the House of Lords that bargains should
be allowed only in exceptional circum-
stances. IL this motion had been carried
it would have raised the whole dispute
again, both in the House Of Commons and
in Ireland As it was, the Government
defeated the amendment by one vote, the
division being 50 I" So.
Lord Clonbrock next moved that when
bargains SCre made outside the zones of
fixed prices the commissioners should be
required 10 specify the reasons for permit
ting them The affect Of the amendment is
TO limit the privilege. The Government
opposed it. but was defeated, the vote
standing ca to 81.
Later tie Government was again de-
feated by votes on miner point

LONDON, Aug. 6.--The directions given
by Andrew Carnegie to the trustees Of his
gift of 81, 10000 to his native town of Dun
terrnline are probably unprecedented. The
trustees are encouraged to deal with the
fund in & spirit Of almost reckless expert
menta.on.
The problem you have to solve" says
NJ. Carnegie. "is what can be done in towns
for tho beMefit Of the masses by money in
the hands of Their most public-spirted
citiaene.

"Rs membe' you arc pioneers. Don't
be afraid of making mistakes.
Those who never make mistakes never
make anything. Try many thin " freely,
but discard Just az freely. Not what other
cities have done is your standard, and the
funds should be strictly devoted to this.
Il can imagine that it may be your duty
in the future to abandon beneflcent fields
enlarge their spheres of action and embrace
these.
when they attend to any department it
will be time for you TO abandon it and march
forward to new triumphs. As the condi-

Let me commend great truth to you,

Mr.. Carnegie urges that as the trust
is to benefit the masses the trustees must
keep in touch with them, and not put be-
fore them what they cannot take easily.
but always what leads upward, as their
tastes improve.

He was accused Of assaulting Peter O'Neill.

coworker, as the first witness. Mccarthy
testified that ON the night of the assault he
had been with Parks and Lawyer Brann
in the rear room OF Lynch's saloon. They
heard quarrel out in the barroom, Nc
earthly said and Parks ran out. Mccarthy
followed u few minutes later and found
Parks lying on the floor. 1t was Parks
who had been assaulted, apparently, Nc
Carthy said. Lynch and Mccarthy picked
Parks up and helped him into the rear
room. The witness said he hadn't seen
Parks drink anything. The witness also
said that man named Monahan hit Parks

Parks's sobriety on the night Of the assault,

James Mclaughlin. an iron worker
testified that on the night of the trouble
he saw one of O'Neill's friends, a man named
Monahan, hit Sam Parks and knock him
down.
On cross examination District Attorney
Jerome brought out the fact that there had
been no row in the barroom before Parks
entered. This was In contradiction Of the
testimony given by Mccarthy.
When the Justices announced that Parks
was guilty of assault in the Thrill degree
District Attorney Jerome asked the court
to postpone sentencing Parks until Thurs
day next, saying that If il were only an
ordinary barroom brawl he should risk
that the sentence he % light as possible
under the court rulings, but that il he could
show that it YVES a premeditatel assault,
he would ask that A severe sentence be
imposed.
