to Be Presented in Parliament.

London, June 3.-The Irish bill was
formally dropped by the government
this afternoon with scant ceremony
and only the perfunctory signs Of
mourning even on the part of its min
iSterial sponsors. The House of Com
mons was well filled when Premier
ampbell-Bannerman rose to speak.
Il believe" said the premier. that
the Irish people would have done we'll
to give tho details of the measure
greater attention than appears to have
been the case at the recent convention.
But in view of the announcement of the
leader OF the Irish party in the House
Of Commons that he would abide by
the decision of the convention and in
view of the unanimous decision of the
convention to reject the BILL the gov
crnnent cannot, of course, so any fur
Their with it."
The premier added that the decision
of the representatives Of the Irish peo-
pie was a source of sincere regret and
disappointment to the ministers, but
now that the Irish bill was dropped
the government intended to introduce,
during the present session. an "evicted
tenants restoration" with powers of

and it was not necessary 10 send any
Of them to hospitals.
The fire started just before = O'CLOCK
this morning and worked rapidly GOWN

feet below the lower deck, where lzo
barrels of glucose had been stored.

hose. They worked in short relays but
even then many of them were over

A large force of workmen has been
busy ever since last Thursday trying to
make solid part of the roadbed of the

before they discovered it. They have
been filling in the treacherous hole with
earth and boughs and hope to finally
fix the place so that it will be safe for
the passage Of trains and give no more
trouble.
Several cars were today shunted
across the place where the repairs have
been IN progress, but no passengers
were allowed to ride on them and it is
not yet deemed safe to trust a locomo-

distance around the soft" spot.
The place is about Is miles from

bog can be made solid, so that there
will be no trouble when it is once pro-
nOunced safe.

In the work of procuring the jury,
the court has been in session Is days
and 1876 talCSncn have been examined.
OF this number 81 have qualified leg
ally, including the l. men now in the
box. One was excused on account of
sickness, and another was excused af-
ter examination on the ground of OPP
position to capital punishment. State
and defence each used its full quota of
10 pcrCmptory challenges.
In an interview with Mr.. barrow
and Mr.. Richardson, after the cmpan-
cling Of the jury today. the following
statement was made this evening:
The Haywood jury is made up of
eight Republicans. thrc Democrats and
one Fro hihitioniSt. 1t consists Of nine
farmers, one real estate agent, one
building contractor and one foreman of
construction on railroad. There is no
man on the jury who works for wages
or who has ever belonged to labor
organization excepting Burns, who was
a member of the Carpenters Union II
years ago, or Who has over been a
stu lent Of trade unionism or the labor
question. In the 300 odd jurors drawn
not more than three trade unionisms
were placed in the panel ana these
were excused for conscientious objcc-
ti1nS to capital punishment and fixed
opirions. The jurors drawn have beea
mainly farmers, intcrsperScd with a
large number of bankers and some bus
mess men.
THE jurors appear to be men of
honest purposes, determined To give
the defendant fair trial, but it is uni
fOrmly made up of Il class to which mono
Of the defendants has ever belonged.
In addition to this, they are drawn
from small county, almost wholly
agricultural; and each member for q
year ana half have read 1--- little
about the case except what has been
contaIfIcd in the BOISE daily papers and
this has been uniformly hostile to tho
defendant. Nearly al Of them admitted
that they had formed opinions and
Impressions from what they read;
ana necessarily these must have been
against the defendant"
Commenting on tho jury, James II.
HaWIey, lca4inG counsel Tor the state,
said:
I'VE are thoroughly satisfied with
the jury. We have T. fair-mindod men
who viii! 10 even justice between the
state ana the defendant. They are All
good citizens Of Ada county ana the
state of Idaho. They are men, I believe
without the slightest prejudice and We
arc willing To await their verdict in
confilcncc after the evidence is all in
Attorneys barrow and Richardson
issued a joint statement today assert
ing that at no time has there been any
dis. grcCmcnt between them on any
point in the case.
