5 THE BRISTOL MERCURY, MONDAY, AUGUST 13, 18M. FIs a chiordole of day by day-Tft Tmpetf, trembles come because they wreck tha present Bill there will be no effeotive answer to the charge which will be brought against them. They cannot call tho Evieted Tenants Bill a constitutional change it is merely an executive one, and the House of Lords will have to take the whole of the Wame if they paralyse the hands of the Government and refuse the powers aaked for. It ia idle to talk about what the Irih peasantry ought or ought not to be or what the Irish members ought or ought not to say. That is not English business, and would only lead to recrimination as to whether Irish landlords are what they ought not to be.

We have to deal with people and things as they are, and it is hard indeed to say that nothing shall be done in relief of suSering and distress, We hope, therefore, that even yet the Pears will be just to the Irish tenant and wise in their own interests. The cricket of the past week can Cricket, hardly have encouraged those of us who stUl surround the flag of Gloucestershire. The weather was, of course, against a team whose strength consists rather in batting than in bowling. Parris found his spot, and the Gloucestershire wickets fell, thiok as leaves in Yallombrosa. Yet on paper, Sussex ought not to have beaten Gloucestershire as they did.

Were the Southern County afflicted with a morbid anxiety to get lid of the wooden spoon We fear ihey have lost it for ever, and that their loss is Gloucestershire's gain. Take the Middlesex match-could anything have been worse? An accident-something not anticipated by the captaingave Gloucestershire the respectable total of 225 for a first innings. Middlesex was got rid of on a slow wioket for 130, thanks to some splendid bowling by Mr C. L. Townsend, Middlesex followed on, and Gloucestershire, so to speak, followed off.

At least there was little in Gloucestershire's play except the Btera attempt and the successful attempt by Eice and Town-send to make the game a drawn one. The result of the week's play is to put the Western county at the end of the list, and if the County Olub Committee do not wake up now we shall wonder whether anything but a thunderbolt can rouse them. Things are not as they used to be in the ciioket world. There are four counties straggling hard to enter the sacred throng who fight for the first-olass county championship. What would be oar ohaaoe Gloucestershire's chance tainst these four We might win or not, but it is as well, perhaps, that the contest for the championship is limited.

This arrangement, however, cannot list very long, and the time is rapidly approaching when all the counties will be tried on their merits, one against another. In those days it will not be easy for Gloucestershire to rely on the powers of Mr W. G. Grace, as the county seems to do just now. The distinguishing features of Gloucestershire oricket for several seasons have been the terrible strength of the leading bat, and the dreadful length of the tail.

W. has been able to score, as he always could, oil tha best bowling to ba had, but others have failed and we have been weak in the attaok. There seems no prospect of a change for the better undsr the existing arrangements, but a change will have to be made. 1 he diatingnished cricketer who made the celebrated bona of the Bhow" speech at Mangotsiield has probably recognised by this lime that estraneou; advioe, even if tendered by a Selection Committee, may be of me, BBISTOfe YOLUNTEEB DIARY.

London, Sunday. It 5b not anticipated that tho report stage the Equalisation of Rates Bill will occupy long to-morrow, and sa tbe Committee on the Railway and Canal TrafBo Bill is nearly disponed of, the Miners' Eight Home Bill should be reached before dinner. It will certainly lost two nights, for although it consists of only two clauses there are already over 80 amendments on the paper. The promoters of the Bill are still sanguine of carrying the measure through Committee Intaot, and fortune has certainly favoured them more than tho opponents, As a result of a eonfereuoe between Mr John Bums and Mr Sexton, she Irish vote go solid for tho Bill, sn1 as a large number of Nationalists are remaining in town in order to await tbe fato of the Evicted Tenants Bill iu the House of Lords their presenoe to the division lobby will have an appreciable effect on the result, On the other hand a great many Liberal opponents of tho measure have paired with Conservatives who are also opposed to the Bill, The prinoiple amendment whioh will be moved to-morrow evening provides that the eight hours dsy shall only come Into operation in any oounty where the miners in that county by a majority are In favour of it. This adoption of the county as the area for local option Is due to the augiestim of Mr Gladstone in his lettter to Mr Dvld Thomas, who will move the amendment.

Sir Jnseph who le aotiag as tbe whip of the opponents of tho Bill, not agree with Mr Thomas In providing that a bare majority of nndergroond workers should determloe the question, and so ha will prepare as an amendment to the amendment that the should be twetbirdu. Mr Gerald Balfour, who ia tfead against all interference with the hours of labour, has placed a large number of amendments on the paper, and he and Sic Francis Powell will share the honour of leading tho Opposition on this Bill; It is hoped Shot notwithstanding tho threats of Mr Tommy Bowles the estimates will all bo disposed of this week. In that event there is no reason why the prorogation should b3 deferred beyond next Friday week. That thla is anticipated in official quarter is evident from the announcement that the Queen intends leaving Osborne for Balmoral on the 24th fnsfc. The Houbo will sit next Saturday so aa to oomplete Supply, the report of which and the first reading of the Appropriation Bill will be put down for to-morrow week, The second and third reading will be disposed of by Wednesday night, and the House of Lords will, as usual, suspend their standing order so as to allow of the Bill being run through all Hb stages at one sitting, Mr Weir is Irrepressible, To-morrow ho will ask the Chancellor of the Exoheriuer whether he will arrange to hold an Autamn Session in order to carry the Crofters' Aot Amendment Bill and any other pressing meaaurcB, Although the motion put down by Mr J.

W. Lowther on behalf of the leader of the Opposition In favour of the construction of a railway from the ooaBt of British East Africa to Lake Victoria Nyanza is still on the paper, there is no likelihood of its being brought forward this session, as the Government declined to give Mr Balfour a day for Its discussion. There is not the slighteit chance of a compromise tomorrow on the Evioted Tenaota Bill, and Lord Balfour will move the rejection of the Bill aa arranged. The division will probably be on Tuesday before the dinner hour. CHICHESTER ELECTION.

The Sheriff of Sumex has fixed Thursday next for the nomination of candidates for the repreientation in Parliament ol the Ohloheater Division, and the polling, if any, for the following ThmtBday. It appear! probable that Lord Edmund Talbot, the Conservative candidate, will be unopposed. A PEACE LEGACY. A Bavarian la'Jy, recently deceased, has bequeathed 2500 for the futthemnce of international pence, The interest of one halt of this sum is to go to tha German Peace Society in Berlin the interest of tha other half is to be sent to the International Feaoe Bureau at Berne, for the encouragement there of the idea of a universal peace throughout the whole world.

The Bishop of Oxford preached in the cathedral, Bishop Barry ot St, Mary the Virgin, and Prinoipal Fairbairn at Mansfield College Chapel. In these and other sermons allusions were made to the Association's work, THE PHONOGEAPH AT WORK. Tbo phonograph has been recently put to a very remarkable and practical use. Messrs Hazell, Watson, and Vlney, Limited, the printers of the "Pall Mall Magazine," have a phonograph supplied by the Edisoh-Bell Phonograph Corporation, Limited) in use at their office by whioh the intervention of "copy" is entirely avoided. The wax oyolinder is removed after an article haa been vocally recorded by the machine and sent to the printing offioo, Hero it ia placed upon a duplicate machine, the compositor puts tbe tnbea to his ears, and sets in type what the machine reproduces.

Of oonrae, the rate at whioh the article waa apoken is exaotly echoed by the phonograph, but the compositor oan stop the maohlne at any moment when the apeed ia exceeding hia aotivlty with type-setting, Another faot in oonneotlon with thla novel method ia that the copyholder ia rendered useless, for of oourie the oontenta of the oyllnder oan be repeated to the proof-reader when the matter ia in type. A HEW HIGHLAND RAILWAY. The West Highland line from Glasgow to Fort William, a diatanoe of 99 miles, waa officially opened on Saturday. A large company of visitors and official left the North British station (Glaei oar), and arrived at Fott William at about two o'olooir, the journey occupying five hours, The West Highland line passes through entirely new country. Lady Tweeddals, wife ot Lord Tweeddale, chairman of tha West Highland and North British lines, performed the opening ceremony i On arriving at Fort William, where a public holiday bad been declared, Lady Tweeddale ascended a platform in front of a beautifully-decorated heather aroh, Mr Aird, M.P., presented her ladyship with a gold bey, He said that for five yean hia firm had been engaged in oonntrnatiBg the line, and they had given employment to a vast number of men, but he waa proud to aay that there had never been any difference between the masters and the men Lady Tffieddrfe said that ahe waa proud to oome to the Highlands nnfier auoh auapioiotu circumstances, and ahe that the West Highland line would bring happinesa to many-she wished the line, and the Highlands in general, good Itick, Her ladyship then pulled a lever, and a gateway opened through which the train ateamed amidst loud oheera.

The company were afterwards entertained at fmnohean. Olevedon Athletic Spobts. These sports will be held in the piotmreique grounds of Olevedon Court on Saturday. Prizes worth over 50 are offered for the foot and bioyole races. There will bs oxoursions by rail and boat.

It waa given, and the old and young goldaeekers began to exobange question and anawer.

The savings banks report that although the past year haa not been a prwperoua one, there ie an increase of 30 percent, in the amount of money withdrawn by tbe workpeople for the holidays. Many amusing atoriet are told of the famous anatomist, Professor Hyrtl, who has just died at Vienna. One afternoon (soya a correspondent of the Lancet he entered a beer garden, and seated himself near a table at whioh were a few merry Viennese burghers, after eyeing his almple twill suit, came to the conclusion that be must be an inmate of the asylum for the poor, A good portion ot their dainty meal having been left uneaten, one ot the gueata called the waiter, aaying Here, give thia to that poor man let him have a good fead for once," whioh proposal was loudly aoolaimed by hia fellow revellers.

The waiter placed the dish ot remnants before the amona savant, who ate a few morsels, and after expreiaing hia thanka left the garden. A few momenta later two waiters carried in a bier bowl from which the gilded heads of champagne bottles were protiuding, We have ordered no champagne," cried tbe burghers, and their astonishment may be gueeied on ttoeir being informed that the inmate of the local asylum for tbe poor had tent them the as a mark of hia gratitude for the stowed fowl, and that the donor was no less a personage than Profeaior Hyrtl. A somewhat romantic story is diaoloEed in a private Bill whioh has pasted through the Houae of Lords, and la now undergoing the like process in tha House of Commons. The suppliant was born at South Lambeth early in the fifties, tbe child of Britieh parenta. No sooner had she attained her majority than aho was united to a German at Stuttgart, Owing, however, to the misoonduot of the husband the marriage waadiaaolved by the Wurtemberg courts after the lapie ot half a dozen years.

Twelve months later the lady returned to Kent, waa married to another German snbjeot, and went to reside in Jersey. After nine years of wedded life she obtained the diBiolution of her second marriage in the Royal Provincial Court, Munloh, and in 1893 the waa discharged from Wnrtemburg nationality, on the con. dition that she transferred her domioile to a country not forming past of the German Empire. Being now domiciled in Great Britain, the is deairone of again becoming a oubjeat of the Queen. Having taken the oath ot allegiance, ahe applies to Parliament for an Aot to enable her to resume British nationality and enjoy all the rights and privileges of a natural born aubjeot of her Majesty.

BY A FBENCH NOVELIST. No French writer of the preient day le fo widely read tat England asM, Jules Verne, tor tbe ability with which ho writea of scientific marvels and the adventures of foreign travel is universally Moagniset, Bororal of hia previous stories have made their first appearance in England in the BBIBTOL MBBOUBY SUPPLEMENT, and bis Latent Btory, FOUNDLING MICK," was commenced on SATUBDAY, Augnat 4th. It Is in one aense an abiolutely unique literary pro auction, for it ie a utory of the life of the Irish poor rota a French point of view. It is, of course, not roHlleal, and M. Verne does not bother bis head abont Home Bnlers or UnlonintB, but he dlaplays, with refreshing the characterietio Gallia prejudice against English methods of doing things.

We commend the story to the attention, therefore, of many readers who may not bo interested in ordinary notion, Apart from theaetouohei by the way, the tale will be found to be one of very deep and pathetic interest, The hero, oalled in the English version Foundling Mick, is lent by the parish author! ties of a village in Donegal to a baby farm, where he aeea tbe death of one of the wretched obildren confided to the care ot the presiding beldame. He then falls into tbs hands ot a travelling showman of the loweBt type, from whom he is rescued at Westport and placed in a ragged school, which ie burned down. An aotreea capriciously adopts him, and as capriclouely eendi him adrift. Being adopted by an Irish farmer he sees the results ot failures of crops, the difficulties ot the social situation, and the misery ol an eviotlon. He then pmsob into the employ of the landlord, and ultimately irampa to Cork, and by honest exertion lays the foundations of a happier future tor himself and for the friends his ahlld-hood.

The chapters are full of incident, and appeal Btrongly to the reader's sympathy, FOUNDLING MICK, BY Jules Author ol "From the Barth to the Moon," 11 Around the World in Eighty Days," "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea," The Mysterious Island," EE OONTINHBD IN THB gBIBTOL JJEBOUEY gUPPLEMENT, ON SATUBDAY NEXT, AUGUST 18. 8307 THE BBISTOL MEBODBY.

Wp. hvo hardly began as yet to eon-The Winter 8ider the wjnter outlook in this in re an oonntry a wouia.pe humorist would say we have not yet had any summer to enjoy. But a very important influence upon the sort of winter which hundreds of Irish families will spend, and upon the general state of aflairs in that country, will be exeriised fay the decision of the House of Lords upon the Evicted Tenants Ball to-night, We have more than once protested against the notion that Sir William Harcourb's closirjg time resolution sealed the fate of the measure Although they made the necessary solemn protest the Opposition must have re3ptcted their opponents" for taking the control of events in their own hands.

There has been no outburst of popular indignation, and indeed the position of the Opposition has been weakened rather than otherwise by thoir puerile stroke. The decision rests in the hands of Lord Salisbury and the Duke of Devonshire, and, bo far as we aware, they have neither of them burned their boats behind them by a publio declaration. Mr Chamberlain has 'ndeed delivered himself in rancorous revenge upon a private member, whom he made all the more important thereby. But while shrinking from anything that could be interpreted as an open rupture, we are pretty safe in assuming that the two noble lords would not mind giving a quiet proof that the affairs of the House of Peers are not under the direotion of the member for West Birmingham. The views and the efforts of Mr Leonard Courtney are not without their weight, and there is within the Tory ranks at any rate an influential minority who shrink from throwing Ireland into a state of turmoil, Mr John Morley has maintained peace and order in the island Mr Balfour does not attempt to dispute it, and it is rather a cerious step to disregard the warnings iof the Chief Secretary with regard to the rejection of this measure.

The course is not such a plain sailing as if Lord Salisbury oould say I do not see any need of legislating upon this subjeot at all." That position cannot be taken, because it is generally admitted that the question of the evicted tenants will have to be settled. The logical deduotion to whioh the President of the British Association ought not to be blind is that differences of opinion over this measure ought to lead to negotiation rather than to rejection. There is not a disinclination to compromise on the other side, under cover of rendering the Bill voluntary instead of compulsory. Mr John Morley is of course indisposed to let in amendments which might render the Bill inoperative. The point whioh the Peers would do well to consider is that there was in the case of the Home Bule Bill a definite opinion among their own supporters in favour of their action.

There is nothing of the kind in this case, and if TOOK OF jymm qoods, AUGUST, 1894. flRDEUX, SONS, Are To-day Showing thoir First Deliveries ol NEW "FAST DVB" SSEOKS, NKW FA8T DYS" OHBYIOIS.
