IREIiND'S UNHAPPY LOT. f V A "> ,i^ 'â€" It haa truispired that Mr. Gladstone, in hu 8|woch at the dinner given by the Labor members of Parliament lait night, declared his entire disbelief in the aoousa- tione made against the Irish leaders. Mr. Gladstone said in May, IHM'2, immeduktely after the assassination of Lord Frederick Cavendish and I'nder Becretary Barke in Phoenix I'ark, Mr. Parnell wrote him a letter with reference to that crime. The contents of the letter, which had obviously been written under great mental distress, threw considerable light iijion the topic of the present hour, and was strong evidence in favor of tliu contention that the Time* letter was a base •nd malicious forgery. Mr. Parnell. appa- rently foreseeing that in the public mind he wonld be associated with the crime, offered to place himself without reserve in Mr. Gladstone's hands, ile wrote that he re- garded the murders with the utmost ab- horrence, and he offered to resign the leadership uf the Irish party and retire altogether from iwlitical life if Mr. Glad- stone considered such a step advisable in the interests of Ireland. Mr. Gladstone â- aid he would refrain from saying what reply ho made, adding that it was only a â- hort time since he obtained Mr. ParncU's assent to his mentioning the matter. Alluding to the advice tendered Mr. Par- nell from certain i|uarter8 that he should bring an action against the 'I'ime.i, Mr. Gladstone said that many years ago, when he was Commissioner to the Ionian Islands, the 7'ini<'.< bitterly attacked him, accusing him of treason. On returning to England he consulted a famous lawyer, with a view of bringing an action, but was dissuaded from taking legal steps, the lawyer express- ing the conviction that, even if Mr. Glad- stone proved his case, no jury in the then state of public mind would be likely to con- vict the 'limtK. Mr. Gladstone's statement has caused an absorbing sensation in the clubs, but has not yet appeared in the press. The Conservatives talk of chailong- log the production of the letters. The debate in the House of Commons to- night on the Coercion Bill was featureless. Mr. Gladstone will not s{>eakon the motion to go into committee on the Dill. Mr. Par- nell and Mr. Healy, the latter for the tirst time since his suspension, will api>ear in the House to-morrow. Lord Itosebery, in a speech at Glasgow to-night, said he had an almost unlimited belief in Mr. Gladstone. The Government, he said, by presxing on the Coercion 13111 were raising an agitation that would cer- tainly lead til a general election. With regard to the assertion that if Hume Kule were granted to Ireland that country wuuM tall under the control of the American Irish, he said that it was his belief that if Mr. Gladstone's Itill had Ix^'n (nssed the Irish would now resent interference from New York as much as they had resented interferenc. from England. Sir George Trevelyan writes : " The passage of the Crimes liill as it stands would lay Ireland bound hand and foot at the mercy of the party in the ascendancy in Ireland, which has never governed justly and never will, besides postponing quite indetinitely the conciliation and set tlement of Ireland. The doctrine that the Bill must be supported in order to keep the present (iovernment in power is the most unsound and dangerous one ever openly broached since I have been in publft life." The Marijnis of Lansdowne lins ileclinod to accept the provisional arrangement made last wi'ck by the inediulors engaged in the task of adjusting the dispute betvsccn him and the disHatistled tenants on his Luggacurrun estates. Lord LanHdowiic'i agent refuses to agree to any of the pro- posed abatements of rent. He Hiiggests no terms, and much bitternesH is provoked by the suspicion that he has been using the negotiations merely to tiiid out what was the utmost the tenants would volunteer in order to plac4' his demands a few points be- yond and still within the limits of probable acceptance. Mr. William O'ltrien, whoso proi>OHed tour to Canada to stump the country against the Marijuis of l.anHUOwiie was |KiHt[X)ne<l on reoipt of the intelligence that the Luggacurran difliculty was about to )>e settled liy the above mentioned mediation, stigmati/xis the agent's present offer as a flagrant repudiation of every term of the agreement which the public was le<l to believe had Ix'eii accepted. Mr. O'ltrien announces that he will no longer delay pro- ceeding to (Canada to exp>se Lord Lans- downe's conduct towards his Irish tenantry. A last (Thursday) night's London dcs. patch says : The resolutions of the IJomin- ion Parliament with reference to the Irish Crimes Hill were unnoticed by the London morning pa|K'rs, but are subjcctcl to criti- cisiii in the evening journals. The SI. .lamfn' Omrttr (Tory) wonders what the Canadians wonld say if the Im|ie. rial House of ('ommonH passed a resolu- tion ill favor of releasing No/a Hcotia from the union. Our colonial cousins, says the Uazflle, would not like it, and England woulil hear iilaiii words indeed, yet the Imiicrial Parliament hasa perfect technical right to interfere in ('anadian matters, while the Dominion has none whatever to interfere in British politics. Continuing, the (laiftit says : " While we are not in- clined to take the resolutions too seriously, it would have shown better taste and statesmanship to have let the matter alone." The Villi Mall (lazetlr (I,iberal| approves of the resolutions and B^M'aks of the sigiii. flcaiice of the division, which may )>e at- tributed to the Irish vote, which shows 4s power in passing so ini|iortunt a resolution. Parliamentary majorities may wax and wane, hut the Irish vote is a permanent factor ill colonial politics. The Hveni>m Neitu (Ind.) says it is very kind of Canadian Liberals and the Irish element to teach us what we ought to do. It pities the r^anadian Parliament that it has nothing better to do than pass aimless reso- lutions of the school debating society order. The (lliiU (Tory) regrotH that Mr. Blaks lent hiniHelf to u movement with which Canada has nothing t'> do. (.'aiiiidian Liberals have gravely discredited them- selves HS a party, while the supporters of the Governiiicnl, by voting in opposition, show a want of patriotism or wisdom which ought to tell against thcni in the eyes of their constituents. Mr. Bright has written a letter in which lie says : " No Government, Liberal or Conservative, is likely to promote a measure like that before I'arliament except under a strong sense of necessity. Huch measares bring the Government much difficulty, rendering it unpopular and in- terfering with other measures with which the Ministers are anaions to proceed. In 1HH1-H2 I consented to measures of repres- sion for the sake of law and order. I was then a member of the Government. What I thought needful then I think needful now, and I will not condemn the present Bill because it is introduced by Conserva- tives." In the Houso of Commons to-night the motion offered on the 'Mth inst. by Mr. Itobert T. Keid, Liberal, that the House I decline to proceed with any measuredirectcd ! against tenants combining for relief until a full measure for their relief from excessive rents was presented in Parli"ment, was re- jected by a vote of 341 to 210. A motion that the House go into committee on the Crimes Bill was then adopted. In the debate before the vote on Mr. Ileid's motion, Mr. Thomas Power O'Connor said it was the duty of [ the Parnellites to delay the Crimea Bill as a hostage for a satisfactory remedial measure. He accused Mr. Bal- four, the (;hief Secretary for Ireland, of gross ignorance resiiecting the state of that country, and contended that if he himself dealt with crime in England on the same basis on which the Ministers favoring coercion dealt with crime in Ireland, he could show a state of things that was truly appalling. Mr. Morlcy said the effect of the Bill would be, not to prevent the withdrawal of capital from Ireland, but to drive out the labor that sup^Mirted capital. The Government had its own weak case to thank for the prolongingof the discussion, theOp- jwsition being compelled to extract infor- mation piecemeal. First the Government had said the Bill was directed to suppress crimes, then that it was directed against combinations. Now the Government said the measure was not aimed at com- binations. Mr. Parnell, who was exjiected to return to London today, is suffering from a cold, and is confined to his house at Avondale, Ireland. The t'reeman'i Journal stated that the Government recently applied for a list of educated candidates to till vacancies in the ranks of the Irish Constabulary caused by resignations, and that the refusals to join the service were so numerous that the Government was comp<dled to resort to an inferior list. Many even of the latter refused to take the places offered them. A last (Friday) night's London cable savs : The Manjuis of Ilartington will prc- sidi! over a meeting of Liberal -Unionists called to assemble here to morrow to consi- der certain proposed amcudmcnta to the Irish Crimes Act Amendment Bill, princi- pal among which is one doing away with or greatly modifying the clause |K-rmitting the Crown to change the venue to England in u certain class of Irish cases. The House of Commons this afternoon went into committee on the Irish Crimes Act Amendment Bill. T. M. Healy pro- poBe<l that the word "offence" in the Act should bo changed to the word " crime." Mr. liillon ami Mr. Brudlaugh supjiorted the proposal. Mr. Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ireland, declined on behalf of the Gov- ornment to ac.^cpt the change. Sir Wni. Vernon Harcotirt said it was evident that the Bill was not intended to punish crime in Ireland, but designed for applying [wii altics by the resident magistrates to new ofTenctw created l>y the Bill. Mr. (iladstone advised the (iovernment to concede Mr. llealy's anicnilment. The word " offence" I could not b<i lielil to be strictly synonymous ' with the word " crime " in the Bill. If the Government desired a strictly legal use of ' the measure they would accept aicuraln definitions. A division was taken and the amendment defeated by a vote of 167 to 1'20. I The Dominion and Nova Kcotian resolu- tions in condemnation of the Irish ('rimes' Bill are still but little noticed hero. Mr. j John Morley last night referred to them in support of his opimsition to the Bill. Tlie St. JdiHn' (idZftti' says these votes only heconio mischievous when used as arguments in the House of ('omnoiis. When an English party |K>litician tells us he has got the Canadians on his side, it is diflicult to avoid reminding the colonists that they have nothing to do with domestic politics, ond that their interference is very much out of place. The iitizttte objects to this rather foolish piece of Canadian oRi'iousnesH as a sort of threat to the Im- perial Parliament. The Diiitij ChronirU regards the reeolu- tions as simply impertinent. It nays if the Imperial House of (Commons were to pausa resolution Ht^irming the right of the French half breeds in Canada to cut the throats of Canadians who are loyal to the Dominion, we do not say the Canadians would ignore it, because we fear they would retort with a considerable ilegree of asperity. When American or Canadian legislatures pans resolutions of this sort they simply demonstrate their unfitness for th of legislative functioiiH. THE SCHNAEBELE'S SCAEE. Hupposeil Satisfactory Settlemeat sf the Caseâ€" The Strained Belatlun*. A Paris cable says: The Paris news- papers api)ear to be nearly all well pleased by the manner in which the Kchnaebele affair has been settled and pronounce it an honorable settlement. They praise the prudence and fairness displayed by M. Flourens, Minister of F'oreign Affairs, in his conduct of France's side of the case. A majority of the papers draw from the in- I cident the lesson that in the future F'rance , must redouble her vigilance in order to avoid surprises of the kind caused by the arrest of Sohnaebele. According to the lUpublique Francaiie, all the I''rencli pre- fects have been instructed to prevent the people in their resjwctive districts from using the occasion of Kchnaebele's libera- tion for making anti-German demonstra- tions. Kchnaebele reachec Paris on Saturday afternoon. He at once called on Premier Goblet and had an interview with him, in which ho re-affirmed the story of his arrest as originally told. It is a^ain asserted that Hchnaebelo will be relieved of hia post of commissary at Pagny-sur-Moselle, and be retired on a pension. I.ii France is soliciting donations of 1 franc each toward the purchase of a diamond cross for M. Schnaebele. FUeven mem- bers of the GautBch family head the sub- scription list. A Berlin cabl*«»ys : Oflkial circles con- sider that Germany has a good claim to demand that Prance shall cease from official intriguing in the German Provinces. It is believed Prince Bismarck is about to make urgent representations that, having proved good wiil in the Bchnaebcle case, France must now stop offences against international law by ordering her otlicials to refrain from fomenting treason in Alsace-Lorraine. If the response of the French Government is not satisfactory, the Schnaebele incident, it is thought, will become the starting point of the greatest events of the century. The Cologne (Jazette publishes a list of French agents who have been arrested and convicted in Germany, and dettes the F'rench Government to adduce a single case where a (ierman Government agent has been convicted of espionage in F'rance. Hitherto, the paper adds, the French Gov- ernment agents who were arrested have been liberated after a short detention. The cases of the Danish captain, Sarauw, the |X>et Kra/ewski and the Belgian Jansen do not apply to the yrench. A recent instance of the leniency of the German (iovern- ment is the case of liieut. Letellier, who was caught at Carlsruhe, having in his IKissession plans of the fortress and sketches, and who was liberated after his guilt had been fully established. This course on the part of the Government has been the rule toward other F'renchmen,but a further observance of the rule, the dazette declares, is impossible. The Kreu: /.eilnnij represents that the increased irritation among all classes in (ierinany must imiH'l the (iovernment to ask France to offer trustworthy guarantees that Germany shall in future be protected against onicially-permittcd espionage. The regret of the war party is that if Bismarck means to raise the final i|uestioii now, the â- lelaying of the uontlict has enabled the French War Dep«rtmeiit, during the past four months, to reform and immensely strengthen the line of defences of the fron- tier. On the other hand, four months ago popular feeling was against war, while now the balance of opinion throughout Germany will bo with Bismarck if war is declared necessary. Gen.

The Earl of Onslaw, Parlia- nientary SeiTetury of the Colonial OH'ire, replied tliiit the committee to which the matter was roferre<l had declined to roconi- niond u subsidy of 8;tOO,000 for the pro- posed service of a steamer every three weeks, hut was considering the ailvisahility of grantnig a subsidy of 4300,000 for a monthly service, Canada to contrihutealso.

Trouble has been brewing for some time in the vicinity of Antwerp, Paulding (bounty. There is situated near there a reservoir which feeds the Miami d Erie ('anal, and a portion of the Wabash ('anal. Home Paulding County jMHipIo want the reservoir and Wabash Canal abandoned, claiming it to be a detriment to their land and practically valueless. Since the Bill to abandon them was defeated in the Legisla- ture last winter several attempts havo been made to blow up the aqueduct. The last attempt, which resulted in much damage, occurred about one month ago. The breakage was, however, repaired, and guards were station^ to watch the lawless dynamiters. The latter declared a 30 days' armistice, and notified lumbermen to remove their logs from the Wabash ('anal, as it certainly would bo destroyed. Little attention was paid to these threats, but early Tuesday morning, about 200 men, armed with picks, shovels and explosives, made a raid on the canal. Thoy easily overpowered the four guards on duly and leveled the canal banks for ii distance of 10() feet. They blew up two locks and huriied another, also burning the lock tender's house.

TRAIN ROBBING EXTRAORUINAKY A Band of Thieves Stop a Train, Blow Up a Safe and Steal $S,000. A last (Thursday) night's Tucson (Ari- iiona) despatch says : One of the most andacioua, desperate and successful train robberies ever recorded occurred yesterday on the west-bound overland train on the Southern Pacific Kailroad near here. The western bound express, due here at 10.30 last evening, was stopped and robbed at Papago station, eighteen miles east of here, about <J.30. The number of men engaged in the robbery is variously estimated from five to eight. Col. Har|)er, the engineer, when approaching Papago was signalled by a red lantern to stop. He slowed down, and as he neared the light he noticed ob- structions on the track so placed that, in case he failed to stop, the engine would spread the track and derail itself. Imme- diately on stopping a dozen or more shots were tired into the express car, and a man with a pistol in each hand boarded the locomotive and commaded Har- per not to get down. The other robbers had in the meantime been prying open the express car, and, failing to gcc it open, they placed a stick of giant powder under it, and compelled Harper to light the fuse attached. This he was obliged to do, but to avoid being blown up the messenger opened the car and the robbers took posses- sion. After extinguishing the fuse they then took charge of the car, uncoupled the engine, baggage and express car from the remainder of the train, and made Harper get on the engine and pull ahead two lengths. This being done, Harper was again put off and the robbers took charge of the engine and pulled six miles toward Tucson. Here they killed the engine and left it. During the run the robbers went through the mail and express cars, but did not get more than S5,0<K). Nothing was known here of the affair until past mid- night, when a telegram was received from Pantano, a brakenian having walked back eight miles to that place. None of the passengers were molested. THK AMKRICAN UILKMMA. The AlMkan and Canadian FiHherles Must be Settled on Similar I'rlnelpleii. A Washington cable says: The Depart- ment of State is carefully considering the ((uestion of the jurisdiction of the United States over the Alaskan fur seal fisheries. The statement made in the Canadian Par- liameut yesterday, to the effect that com- munications on the subject had Ix'en sent by that Government to Secretary Bayard, is denied at the State Department, audit is said that all of the correK|Kmdence touch- ing the fisheries has been carried on directly with the Government of Great Britain. This fact, it is believed, will ex- plain the delay in hearing from the State Department, of which complaint has been made at Ottawa- The United States laws, under which certain British Columbian vessels were seized by the revenue cutter Corwen last season, are more than twenty years old, and the (juestion of a conflict between them and the law of nations is one e8i>ecially knotty and ditVicult of settle- ment. The fact that this question hasbcen raised strengthens the Department of State in its determination tu continue to pursue the temperate course it has so far followed in the negotiations with Great Britain concerning the Canadian fishertMk The vast Alasjcan flsheriea are thought to be quite as iuiiK>rtant to this country as are the Nova Scotian inshore fisheries, and the State Department is necessarily obliged to so shape its construction of the laws and treaties as to preserve the right of the United States to the exclusive enjoyment of the Alaskan fisheries while maintaining the treaty rights of our fishermen in North American waters. It is held that there MBnot be two constructions of the laws, and any position assumed by the Depart- ment must apply e<]ually to Atlantic and Pacific waters. Alexander Mitchell'* Will. A Milwaukee despatch says : The will of Alexander Mitchell was made public on Saturday. No approximation of the value of the estate is made and the terms of the will avoid the filing of an inventory, so that the exact wealth left by Mr. Mitchell will never be known. It is believed to be from fifteen to twonty-flve millions. The entire property, real and (lersonal, is left to his only son, John L. Mitchell, after deducting the following legacies : Mrs. Martha Mitclull, widow, J'iOO.OOO, the homestead valued at half a million dollars, and $,'iO,000 annually; David Mitchell, grandson, $100, 0(K); Mrs. Isabella Mackie, of Milwaukee, niece, 825,000 ; seven bojuests to public charitiesaggregating»(")0,000;JessieMitohell of Aberdeen, Kcotlaud, his sister, SiiOO a year.

Northwestern Ontarls'a Cllmatr. A s|)ecial correspondent of the Glasgow Herald describes the Lake of the Woods as a pretty bit of scenery, and adds : " Some lysjK'ptic has boon proposing to make it the site of a sanatarium, but surely Canada has not come to that.

BUFFALO BILL'S SHOW. The Srand Old Han VislU the American Exhibition, la Kntcrtalned at Lunch and Makes a Speech. A last (Thursday) night's London cable says: Mr. Gladstone and his wife to-day paid a visit to the grounds of the American Exhibition and the camp of the Wild West Show. A special performance was given for their entertainment. Mr. Gladstone sat and looked on with all the evidence of childhke delight. After the performance was over he was introduced to Red Shirt, one of the Indians. Mr. Gladstone spoke to him at length, and asked him whether he noticed any difference between the English and Americans, or if he regarded them as brothers. Red Shirt replied that he "didn't notice much about the brother- hood." The fifteen hundred workmen employed at the Exhibition grounds cheered for Gladstone and Home Kule. Mr. Glad- stone and his wife bowed repeatedly in answer to the salutations. Mr. Gladstone was entertained at lunch by the managers of the Exhibition. Col. KuBsell, of Boston, presided. Mr. Gladstone, replying to a toast to his health, said, among other things : " The institutions and progress of the United States have always been subjects of great interest to me ever since, very many years ago, I studiedthe life of Washington. I became then aware, first, of the magnitude of the destiny reserved for Americans, and second of the fact that the period of the birth of the American State was of more interest than any other it was possible to study. Whenever a youth desirous of studying political life consults me respect- ing a course of study in the field of history, I always refer him to the early history of America. God Almighty made English- men and Americans kinsmen, and they ought to have affection for one another. If they had not, humanity would cry shame upon them. I rejoice that the clouds which once obscured our mutual vision have almost vanished from our {)oIitical sky, and that the future is as bright and promising as the warmest-hearted among us could desire." HEAD CUT OFF. An EngllBhuiau Di-eapltuteil by the Cars at Nlas:ara. .\ last (Thursday) night's Niagara F'alls (Ont.) despatch says: .About half-past 1 o'clock this afternoon Conductor Ganter, on a special freight, arrived at the West F^nd G. T. B. yard, near Clifton Junction. Oa looking out of the van window he noticed a man walking down the C. B. K. transfer track la/.ily. The manner in which he was walking during the drizzling rain attracted his attention. It was about fifteen minutes before the train could be taken into the yard, and it consisted of about sixty empty coal cars. Upon the train starting he noticed the third car from the van rise on one side as well as the fore truck of the next car. I'pon looking out of the van at the rear to see what caused it a most horrid spectacle presented itself to him in the shape of the Ixxly of a man between the rails and the head outside of the rail, it being cut off as if done by a knife. He immediately alighted from the van and flagged the express train west, and with the assistance of one of his brakemen had the body removed from the track. It was taken to the depot, and up to a late hour no one had recogniaed him. There was nothing en his person that ho could be identified by. He is about 5 feet 7 inches high, apparently middle-aged, weighs about 145 pounds, has short-clipped full whiskers, and is attired in working clothes. He is supposed to have been the man whom the conductor noticed. It has been reported that the man was recognized by some (juarrymen from Queenstown quarries as being a stonecutter named Carruthers, lately out from England. He had been in town with some of his associates during the morning and had partaken freely of li()Uor, and haa been left by them in town. THK ROYAL Jl'IIILEK.

A London cable says : The (jueen is to .;it in the Coronation Chair at the .Jubilee service in Westminster Abbey. It will be placed just under the lantern where the lectern usually stands. The choir will be occupied by the royalties and the i>erson- ages who form part of the procession- The House of Lords will be seated in one transept and the House of Commons in the other, so that the Queen will have the High ('ourt of Parliament on both sides of her. Tiers of seats are to be erected in the transepts and in the nave. There are to bo galleries above the aisles on each side of the choir and nave, just as at the corona- tion. Tho composition of the representa- tive congregation is giving infinite trouble to the Lord Chamberlain and his myrmi- dons. The trustees of the Barnardohomes have decided to celebrate the Jubilee year by establishing a home for the street children of London and developing land in Manitoba and the erection of an industrial farm for the employment of older lads rescued from the great towns. These and other projects are contemplated at a cost of i.''iO,0()0. The women's Jubilee gift to the (Jueen promisesto be a great success financially. One distinguished lady, to whom the origin of this project is due, has collected and paid in $12,000. Money is now coming in at tho rate of $5,000 a day, and the managers are sanguine that the total will exceed $250,000. Oil (lortraits of all the members of Crown Prince Frederick William's family are being painted. The pictures are intended for a present to the Queen from tho German residents of London on tho occasion of Her Majesty's Jubilee. The family of Perry Richardson, in Fountain County, Ind., has been poisoned. Tho wife and one boy are dead and two other children are lying at the point of death. Reports are contlicting as to the author of the poisoning. Some ac cuse the husband, and others think Mrs. Richardson did it herself. Patti's recent season in New York city was a great financial success. The monetary resultsare as follows: " Traviata," $10,050 ; ' Semiramide," $11,200; " Faust," $10,000; • Carmen," $10,150 ; "Luciu," $12,100,and "MHrtha," $15,000, making atotal of nearly $80,000.
