Mr. Newberry, of Detroit, of- feral nn nitich stronger resolution, in which he charged the British Government, through its agents, with: perpetrating knowingly a great wrong on the United States through the means of perjury, fraud, and elicanery, In speaking to the resolution, Mr. Newberry exonerated tho present English Mintstry from all blame in the transaction, but he sald thot If could be proved that authorized agents of the British Govert- ment had altered oMlelal documents present. ed to the Fishery Comission, that they had procured faise testlinony te be offered to the same body, and that they hind taken extraor- dinary precautions to vravent tho discovery of the fraud: by our Government. Ile said that If Great Britalif did not soon rectify tho wrong, it would deserve the name by which It was onee known on the European Contl- nent—" Perfidious Albion.” He then offered a resolution embodying his charges, aid asked that speolal conmnittee should be ap- pointed to investigate them. Mr. Hawley, of Connecticut, deprecated the charges made by Mr. Newberry, qnd expressed a beltef that the Diltish Government would be glad to right any wrong done to this country, Sr. New= berry retorted by saying thut the British Government had: been aware of the fraud for vo years, nnd hnd not proceeded to rem- edy it.) Mr, Field objected to the reference of the Newberry resolution, and the Springer resolution was then sent to the Commiittce on Foreign attatrs. “Endless Variety of Patterns 1” Our Edgings and Insertions are all Matched Patterns!

Mr. Jonas moved the reference of the communication to. the Committee. Mr, Cameron, of Wisconsin, objected, Mr, IIft, of Georgia, denounced Moore us a characterless rascal. Mr. Logatn thought that Moore’s proper place was in the Penitentiary. Mr, Kellogg denounced Moora as a perjurer, blackmailer, and general scamp, Ile poluted out that the cause of Mooro's present action was that he had been discharged from tho New Orleans Custom- House, Kellogg and Ben 111 then got Into ® wordy war, during which the morning hour expired, and there was no further op- portunity to disctss the nasty politics of Loutsinua or to bandy epithots, Tim debate on the Irlsh question in’ the louse of Commons was continued yester- day, O'Kelly and Sexton took Secretary Forster to task for: having prohibited recent Land-League meetings, and in order to reply to Forstor’s speech_of oxplanation moved the adjournment of tha House, and this Inau- guraled the obstructivevampaign. (Gibson, an irish ‘Lory meniber, denounced the Goy- ernment for not dealing more severely with tho Land Seague, whieh ho referred to as 9 Jawless orgnnization. Sceretary Forster etated that 150 persona in Ireland were under police protection now, and that over 2,500 outrages of vurlous kinds were com. titted In that country Inst yagr. Parnell charged the English press and some English politicians with ontering Into a conspiracy to defame Ireland, and vinidleated the Lund Leagues from tho charges made by Gibson and Forster.

The bill atso tixes salaries of Super- intendents of various stations at sums vary ing from 81,800 to 82,500, provides for re- warding members of the service for gallant and ineritorious services, and for penstoning the widows and orphans of members who lose their own Hves in trying, to saye the lives of others, ‘The bill provides that mom- bers of tho sorvice shall bo selected without regard to thelr political opinions, Mr, Ferry Tequested the Committee to whom the bill was referred to report a3 soon'as possible, [ Tim Consnlarand Diplomatic bill ag passed by the House passed the Senate yesterday with a fow unlimpgrtant amendments ively Jug a slight increase in tho approprintion., A Jong debate occurred on the Item of the Dill providing for prisons for Amerlean’ convicts mn China, Senators Carpenter, Voorhees, and Pendleton sald that there was no author- ily in the law or the Constitution for'the trial for crime of American citizens abroad by coustilor or diplomatic agents, Senators Hoar and Brown thought Carpenter's’ argue ments against the -appropridion ‘were’ cap- tlous, and tho item was passed by a yote of 43 to 13, Berween the Popa and the polldomdh the, Irish Land-Leaguers are haying a hard tine’ of it, Mis Hoti sas written to the Arch- bishop of Dubliff a letter condemning thd agitation, and exhorting the clergy to dis- countenance it as leading to anarchy and Commuulsm. Tho London Times makes the statement on authority, and the dondon News makes o similar statement, so that there lg no reason to doubt ta truth. ‘The bolicomen in the meantime are busy arresting Land-Leaguers who indulge in the practice of “boycotting.” Tho agitation continues, however, with unabated vigor, and as It was Inaugutated in splte of the remonstrance of the Catholic’ clergy, and grew..desplte the pastornls of Archbishop MeCabe and the presence of policemen at meetings, it is not Itkely that anything they may do now can puta stop to it The London Pines has great faith in the Pope's action, and thinks that the ground iserumbliug*from beneath Parnell's feet, ‘The wish Is doubtless father to the thought.
