The District Commissioners have made an order announcing a number of modifications in the new Police regulations, as agreed upon at aconference held by the Commissioners yesterday.

To this a pawnbroker stated toa Stak re- porter they do not object, for a8 a matter of fact they all follow this custoin, as évery business man does, But by section 2 they are required to do what before was optional—furnish a daily report of their transactions to the major oes, a written transcript of their books, and, of , the names of thefr customers would have to bé submitted with the other information.

TRIMMING THE IRISH LAND BILL. Parnell’s Views of the Changes, WHAT THE COKE STRIKE COST. Garrett Not Scared by the Suits. TRIMMING THE LAND BILL. ‘What Changes Are Proposed by the Government—Mr. Parneli’s Comments on Balfour’s Speech-The New Lon- don Daily. Special Cable Dispatch to Tre Evexrxo Stan, Loxpox, July 22.—Mr. Balfour's explanation last night of the way the government proposes to apply the hatchet to thetrown land bill was no clearer than Mr. Balfour's statements usually are. Briefly summarized, the proposed changes are as follows: First, the right to proceed by writ of feri facias, which has been called “the back door toeviction,” 1s made subject to the discretion of the county court Judge. Second, with regard to the revision of the judicial rents, the land court is Instructed todevise a scale of revision based solely upon prices and which will vary according to the districts to Which itis applied; that 1s, the land commission will fix averages and arrange dis- tricts according to their agriculture and soll, and Tent is to be fixed for three years. Thira, the government is prepared to drop the bankruptcy clauses, but will do so with reluctance, Fourth, the lease-holders are excluded from remedial legis- lation, Mr. Parnell, commenting upon Balfour's speech, sald that the government in the first place were now going to deal with a revision, or, as they called it, an abatement of Judicial rents. In the second place they laid stress upon the fact that there has been a considerable fall in agri- cultural prices just as he had laid stress upon it, and in the third place they made the abatements Tun for three years, as he had made them ran. Mr, Goschen’s position has become the most ludicrous imagizable. Compare with above pro- posals of a government of which he 1s ups the most prominent member these words from his speech last week: “I never agreed to the rent be. Ing fixea according to the prices, because if you do ‘that it will be fatal toa purchase. If you tell a tenant his rent ts to be varied according to the price; you will have an establishment totally dit- ferent in principle, which goes to the whole root of the purchase. ‘The principle of a purchase 1s that there should not be a fluctuating price, Wut one that {8 to be fixed once. for “all.” Finally, the potnt of view of the Ira landlords on the government pr may ly and cl Understood trom these words of Agar Ellis a (7p. cal member of his class: “These amendments to ‘the land act mean no more and no less than a ces- sation of rent in Ireland for three years. In a short time the whole Island will be ina state of chaos. ‘There can be no business transactions where the most solemn unde1 are set at naught when exigencies of place and party setin.
