I ESTABLISHED IK.TO. ) j J. 11. ESTILL, Editor and Proprietor. (' CLAUSE FOUR RETAINED. MK. DILLON’S EFFORT TO KILL IT PROVES FUTILE. Eir Harcourt Characterizes the Clause as a Drop of Bitterness in a Message of Peace to Ireland—Mr. Balfour De clares 'hat the Clauso Will be a ■Source of Prosperity and Contont 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.

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 '■ u’d triumph if Parliament wore dissolved to-morrow.
