In the house of lords last night Earl Spencer de- clared that the Irish land bill would fail to bring about a settlement of the Irish question, and was not worth considering, as it would not relieve the tenants, He did not think the government un- derstood some of the clauses. Lord Salisbury sald 1t was because the Uberals had tried _to apply an impossible system to rela- tions between landlord and tenant that the gov- ernment was oblieged to introduce the present Dill. It was a pity that the liberals had not fore. seen these evils, So that the government would not have had to undertake the impossible task _of introducing sanity into a landed policy which was ‘absolutely insane. He did not regard the bill as & ‘fnal measure, but he believed 1t Would be an ele- ment In restoting peace aud good will. Earl Kiinberly asserted that the bill of 1881 Moldted the rights of, contract less than the pres: ent bill, Which broke the contracts of 150,000 Teasers, Lord Salisbury moved the omisston of the pur- chase clauses on the ground that they were irrele- Vant to the main object of she bill, Lord Spencer said he hoped the government. would not persist in omitting the clauses. ‘The report of the bili was to and the third read- Any Was fixed for Monday.

THE DISCOVERY WHICH STARTLED A CHICAGO JUDGR— ‘A KELIC OF THE ANARCHIST TRIAL. From Chicago comes a story of the finding of another dynaimite bomb, this time under Judge Baker's desk in the criminal court-room. Judge Baker himself found the bomb on Tuesday last. He says of it: “I was swinging around in my chair, when all at once I saw at one corner of my desk what I thought was a baseball. It looked alittle bit larger than a baseball, and, after giv- ing ita kick and seeing it roll about in an odd fashion, I picked 1t up. “At once I saw I was mis- taken, ‘and that ft was not a baseball, It was mach’ lighter. Apparently t was not metal, for it was too light for that. I saw a plecé of fuse extending from one Side, and not then Knowing What the thing was, handed 1¢ to Bailiff Rice. Since then, however, I have learned it was abomb. I remember once I kicked the thing, Gracious, 1t makes me shudder to think what would have happened {f it went off.” The bomb 1s made of block tin and glass, and resembles a brand new base ball, but ts much lighter. On one side of it there is a stout rubber band which protects an ‘opening, out of which projects a small piece of fuse. A RELIC OF THE ANARCHISTS’ TRIAL. ‘The story was widely published, but was quickly robbed of sensational features. Judge Baker was only recently elected, and has occupied Judge Gary’sold desk but afew days. Mr. Smith, clerk of the court, said the bomb had been lying around under the desk for months, and 1s a relfe of the anarehists’ trial. Judge Longenecker and others had seen it, knew what {t was and thought no more of the inatter. ‘They are enjoying a laugh at the expense of Judge Baker. ——— ARBITRATION IN CHICAGO.—Arbitration In the great lockout in the building trades begin tn Chicago yesterday. | Five members of the brick- layers’ unton and a like number of the Master Ma- sons’ Association met in conference in the morn- ing and spent the entire day together behind closed doors.

GILL PAINTS IN THE YALE BOAT~THE BLUE TOOK THE ‘LEAD AFTER THE FIRST HALF MILE AND GALLANTLY INCREASED IT TO THE FINISH—CELEBRATING THE ‘vicToRY. At New London last evening Yale scored a de." Cisive victory over her old time rival Harvard, and Won the 4-mile eight-oared shell race in 22 min- utes, 56 seconds. Harvard's time was 23 minutes, 10% seconds. ‘The race was not started until ‘nearly night fall. At 7 o'clock tpe sun was dipping below the hills to the west of Bolles’ Flats, and a dark shadow Was cast on the river by the starting flag, while ‘Ot a sign of life was to be seen at either the Yale or Harvard floats—a bad lookout for witnessing a Tace of this importance. Ten minutes past the hour the Harvard elght was manned, and the crew, pushing off from the float, pulled a short Gistance up the river and then turned for the Starting flag. It was then that, by the aid of a good glass, the Yale men were seen oh their float, and at 7:15 they started down the river. It was 7225 before the boats backed to thelr stations, ‘ale being almost indistinguishable under the dark shadow of the bark close to which her boat was anchored. The Philadelphia Press correspon- dent describes the struggle as follows: ‘THE.STRUGGLE FOR THE LEAD. “At last they were off. Whether one or the other got the start is never likely to be known by any newspaper man. Both crews, so far as could be seen, moved away together and kept up 38 ‘strokes for the first minute, “Yale leads!’ ‘Harvard’s ahead! were the cries voiced by wishes more than actual facts. It was a neck-and-neck race all the way to the half- mile flag, to which Yale led by a few feet. The ofticial time given below makes Harvard ahead by two seconds. That, however, is a mistake. The referee's boat had to make a detour on the chan- ‘nel to avoid Bolles’ Flats, and was too far benind ‘to get the time correctly, The Manhanset, on the contrary, Was exactly opposite the flag as the boat shot past, and Yale was certainly ahead. Both crews dropped their stroke to 34 on the sec- ond half-mile, and, notwithstanding Harvard's advantage in position at this pes Yale more than held her own, and was leading Dy about half a length, As the’blue crew had now the best of the course fora full mile everything was in her favor. Her stroke waslowered to 32, with Harvard at full 33 or 34.

THE ARRESTED NEGRO POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED BY ‘THE LITTLE GIRL AND HELD FOR THE GRAND JUR Jas. Jackson, the colored man charged with at- tempting to outrage little Viola Jackson, a nine- year-old white child, near Pimlico, on ‘Tuesday, had a hearing bejore Justice Pole in Baltimore yesterday, Both Viola and her brother positively identified Jackson as the man who attempted the assault. The prisoner seemed indifferent as he sat in the: Justice’s office before the examination. When the justice asked him if he knew the nature Of the charge against him he sald yes, but that he Was Innocent, as he was not on that end of the road that da} ‘son, father of the little girl, told how Geo, R. Ja the negro had came to his place on Tuesday and asked for something to eat. Mr, Jackson gave him some bread and meat. Mr. Jackson contin- ued: “About half an hour later my little boy Spi- cer, Who had been out with his sister Viola, came into the house and asked me if I_knew a colored man by the name of Brown. I told him no, and inquired why he asked. He said that he and his sister were picking berries, when the colored man. came up and told them he knew where they could get some nice berries, and would show them the Place tf Spicer would’ go and get another bucket. At this my wife exclaimed, ‘For God's sake, George, GP and see where Viola is." Spicer was sent after iis sister, but could not find her, and then I went: out to hunt her. I searched the fields, but could not find her, and began to feel greatly alarmed. I met several persons who said that they had seen the man, When I reached Ditch’s place I learned that the man had just left there. Ihunted rena and when I reached the seven-mile lane was tol by Mr. Ludwig that my little girl was home. I pos- itively identity Jackson as the man who stopped al my house,” Baron Spicer Jackson, Viola’s eight-year-old brother, gave the following testimony: “Sister and I were picking berries, and asI started home toget a drink I kicked the bucket ever. Sister said, what you have done.’ The colored man then came up and told us that he knew where we could yet some nice berries, He took us up Moore’s lane and I started home to get a drink. He told me not to forget the bueket. When I left he was walking up the lane talking to sister, He sald that he bought 10 cents’ worth of bread at our house, He had on a white hat and carried hiscoat on his arm. I know that he is the man,” exclaimed the little fellow, pointing to Jackson. Viola Jackson said: “When I saw Jackson com- ing up the road I asked brother to go home with me, As he started oif he kicked tne bucket over, andl ‘See what you have done.’ Jackson then came up to us and said that_he would snow Us Where there were lots of berries, and that he would pick us a bucketful, Brother went home to get adrink, and Jackson took me along with him ufter the berries. He took me through a fleld and then through a woods, and stopped when he came to a little frame house, where he said he had lived. for seven years. ‘The doors of the house were fast- ened and he could not get in. He left me upon the porch and went and looked at a berry patch, and me back and said the berries had ail mn culti- led. He sald toine: ‘want you to be a little girl to me.’ He ‘then took me upon his lap, but I jumped away from him and ran down the Toad to Mr, Merceron’s farm. Jackson fled across the field, Mi lerceron took me home, I certainly know that Jackson is the man. He wore a white hat at the time.” Sergeant Geo. M. Chambers and Officer O. J. Mil- ler, who captured Jackson, gave corroborative ts timony. Jackson was traced from point to point until he was finally tracked to tue late Patrick Walker’s farm, where he was arrested. Jackson had engaged work there the night before. “We took him into custody,” continugd the ant, “and as we did so he pulled a low, drab hat from his pocket and put it on lils head. We told him to put on his white hat, which he reluctantly did. AS soon as the littie’girl saw him she jdentitied im.’ Justice Pole remarked there was no doubt Jack- son was the man Who had attempted the out and comumitted him to await the action of the grand jury. ———_se¢____ A West Virginia Homance, From the Martinsburg (W.

President Garrett’s Movements, ‘From the Baltimore Sun to-day.

This week has been pro- lific in reports concerning Mr. Garrett's deal with the Ives-Stayner syndicate, growing out of the Onslaught of Mr. Gould upon the Wall-street mar- ket on Friday of last week. ‘That the destruction of Ives & Co. was contemplated in connection with the drive at Field, of the Manhattan Elevated, and Hart, of the Pacific Mail, ts practically adin{tted. ‘How’much the Ives pariy were harassed by ths financial panic which Gould inspired 1s not known ‘Outside of their friends. It is said they have paid 8 large sum on account of thelr proposed B. and O. purchase, and that the Garrett interest are friendly enough to help them. ‘The fact that a statement 18 current that the completion of the deal may bede- layed a ttle longer because of the stringent money market looks as if the syndicate have asked for more time, and also would appear to prove that there is more comtemplated in the deai than the mere combination of the C.H. and D, and B. and ©. roads, The C., H. and D. owns and 1Suow opera Ung the Vaudalia line between Cincinnat! and St. Louis, anda tight money murket would nov for very long interrupt the two systems from carrying out a scheme for consolidation. ‘The stories Unt Gould has his hooks on the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph are denied, but their denial does not matter, They will surely be repeated.

Vice-President King and Mr. Garrett appear to have no business on hand in tints elty except that of examining the new terminals of the roadwhich are about coinpleted, and they refuse to talk on ‘the subject of the deal.

For several Seasons he fooled the best batsmen. All these different curves, raises, shoots and drops were dis- covered by different people.
