CLAUSE FOUR RETAINED.

PROVES FUTILE.

nent.
London, July 29. —Mr. Healy’s suspension
will last a fortnight.
The Daily News, commenting on the
scene in the House of Commons last night,
says: “Nothing can excuse Mr. Healy,-who
by his outrageous behavior, has seriously
injured a cause which otherwise owes him
so much.”
Alter Mr. Smith’s appeal in tlio Houso of
Commons last night a conference' was held
between the government and opposition
resulting in the Pornellitcs consenting
to allow clause four of tlie land bill to be
disposed of. Prolongod discussion will only
arise when clauses eleven and twenty-two
are taken up.
John Bright has consented to preside at a
banquet to !*> given by the Unionists to
Lord Hartington.
John Bright has written a letter advising
the (doctors of Bridgeton division of Glas
gow to vote for Evelyn Ashley (Conserva
rive), who is running against Hir Georgo
Trevelyan, the Liberal candidate, in the
contest for the vacant seat in Parliament
for that district.
Col. King Harmon, Under Secretary for
Ireland, intimated in the House of Com
mons this evening that the government had
proclaimed Dublin only under the section of
the crimes act dealing with forcible possess
ion and assaults.
DILLON OBJECTS TO CLAUSE FOUR.
In the House of Commons this evening,
on motion that Clauso 4, as amended, stand
as part ;;f the land bill, fjr. Dillon moved
its rejection. He said if the rest of the bill
was altered so ns to do substantial justice
to the tenant, the objections to the clause
would to some extent be met, but the Par
nclhtes bnd no assurance that this would be
done. Much had been said about the bill
taking away the stock in trade of agitators.
He would rejoice to see that happen, for a
more thankless, cruel, wearing life thau
that of agitators had not yet been discov
ered.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt considered
it o pity that when a message of peace was
sent to Ireland the government chose to
infuse into it this drop of bitterness. The
clause in question was designed to make
ejectment easy. It was a blemish on the
bill, and the government would bo wise even
m w to remove it.
Mr. Balfour thought the government had
clone everything t he}' could in equity to pre
vent evictions being harsh or cruel. If the
clause assisted in checking the monstrous
system of intimidation which now prevailed
in Ireland it would be a blessing and a
source of contentment and prosperity to
Ireland. The motion to retain the clause
wa. carried by a vote of 144 to 111.
Numerous other amendments to the bill
1 eing disposed of, clauses 7 to 18, inclusive,
w re agreed to without discussion. Clauses
1!) and at) were eliminated. Consideration
of clause 31, dealing with remission of rates,
was postponed.
PROSPECTS OP THE LIBERALS.
Mr. Gladstone addressed the London
Liberal Radical Union this evening. Ho
said that at the Inst election the Unionists
had a majority of only 7(1,000 in the whole
country, and that if tlie Liberals reclaimed
150,000 votes, their strength, in Parliament,
iviw- in the minority, would become a
majority of KjO. He said that 150,000 votes
represented 11 per cent, of the whole
electorate and that the recent elections had
already given the Liberate six or seven seats,
gains which indi -ntcil that the Liberals

like the well-known ground of Russia’s hos
tile attitude toward Germany."
The Frankford Zeitnng has advioos from
St. Petersburg which reaffirm the reports of
the endeavor on tho part of Russia to nego
tiate a loan in Paris.
Other Russian advices refer to the pro
posal to promote the production of gold and
arrest the depreciation of Russian paper.
They also allude to the tax on foreign com
mercial travelers doing business in Russia,

principally against the Germans, who are
the chief competitors of the Russians.

Washington, July 29. —For the first time
during tho present week there was no busi

than at tlio White House, and where lie is
able to endure the present hot spell with de

at Oakviow pretty much all the time until
ho leaves the capital for his Southern and
Western trip in October.

He may come into tbe city once or twice
a week to attend Cabinet meetings, but it
is not believed that these meetings will bo

House to-day saying that committees of citi
zens of St. Paul and Minneapolis hod !vn

however, regarded ns settled that these cities
will bo included in his Western trip.

The respondent replies that it has in no

At Atlanta a similar train is known to its

The answer further avers that the cars

A PENSION ROMANCE.
Enlistment in tlie Confederate Service
to Escaae Andersonvilio.
Washington, July 29.—The Secretary of
the Interior to-day denied the claim of Wil
lium Hedgspeth, an ex-private in tlio Forty
second Indiana Volunteers. * The case is an
uncommon one and has been the subject of
much discussion by the pension officials.
Iledgspeth was captured in 18(13 and con
fined as a prisoner at Andersonvilio. After
remaining in captivity live months he en
listed in tlie Confederate army, ho suys, to
escape starvation and so informed his fellow
prisoners, and that at tho first opportunity
lie would desert, and if yxissiblo mako his
way back to his old command.
rejoins his regiment.
After a short service in the Confederate
army he carried out liis intentions and
finally reached Iris old regiment, in which
lie served until discharged. Some years
ago Hedgspeth applied for a pension on the
ground of disability contracted while in the
Federal service. This fact was fully sus
tained. The law provides that no one who
aided directly or Indirectly tlie enemies of
the government in the late war shull be per
nutted to draw a pension.
AMENABLE TO THE LAW.
Hedgepeth’s brief connection with the
Confederacy made him amenable to the
law. His motive, it is said, cannot be taken
into consideration. Opinions by tbe dozen,
some favorable and others unfavorable,
havo been written upon tho ease by differ
ent officials of the Interior Department.
At Inst, after the lapse of yt irs, it readied
the Secretary of the Interior for final ac
tion. Tho patters in tho case, which are
very voluminous, include a strong protest
against tho payment of the pension by
Commissioner Block.

about £25,500,000, leuviug an excess of re
ceipts of $0,500,000. Tbe expenses so far
this month have been less than was antici
pated by reason of the failure' of tho Navy
Department to make certain expect'd requi
sitions. At the suine time the receipts were
greater than was estimated July 1. Treas
urer flyatt reports the surplus to-day as
$43,100,000, au increase of marly ?•<'.,000.000
since tne same date of last month, Tlie
Treasury officials believe however that

Tho Btato of Trade Not Reflected by
Bank Clearings and Railroad Earn
ingrs-The Imports Largely In Excess
of the Exports—The Failures of th
Week.
New York, July 20.—R. G. Dun & Go’s
report of trade for the week says: Foreign
commerce is sit ill unsatisfactory, while in the
domestic trade tho usual summer dullness is
imTeased by a variety of causes. Large
hank clearings and railroad earnings fail to
reflect tho present state of business, which
is in many branches characterized by uncer
tainty and hesitation. Clearings represents
1, speculative dealings; 2, settlements on
business done from ono to four months ago,
Current cash transactions, so Unit
activity in speculation or large payments on
past business often swell the clearings when
now legitimate business is decreasing in
volume. The railroad earning* since tin*
interstate law affected rates afford no re
liable fndiention of the volume of traffic,
unit the publication of tonnage statistics has
lieen to a large extent suspended, which ho*
significance. Low prices delay the mow
mojit of wheat, and injury to corn, hay and
some minor crops produces uncertainty.
HEAVY IMPORTS.
Meanwhile foreign imports ut New Yorl*
continue larger than last year while the ex
ports for four weeks past have been K per
cent, smaller. Official reports show an in
crease of $7,000,000 for June in all imports
against a decrease of nearly $8,000,000 in all
exports. For tho three months ending with

New York, July 29.—The strike of tb
longshoremen promises to boa brief one.
At n iin* ting of tbo men held lust evening,
