E OF COMMONS LInrRARY, WESTMINS- t. 4.—[New York Herald Cable— Special to the Bre.)—A hard week for every- body has just closed. The combined effects of the phenomenal heat, of the great friction in the transaction ot business and general irritability tell an the strongest nerves, All sections of the house welcome the return of Sunday as affording time for overheated brains to cool down. The worst night came on Thursday. We almost expected. A FIGIT ON THE FLOOR between Tanner and Colomb wh thets of “hireling” and “liar” were flying ahout the house. It was obvious that things must mend soon or better take away that baub and shut the doors. Fortunate moderate degree of good humor and a ser atmosphere were apparent on Friday. In fact the first part of the sitting seemed to promise an era of universal peace and good will. Parnell had an amendment objecting to the government an- nexing all the days for supply. For some reason he did not come, and Dillon filled the gap with another amendment to the same effeet. As usual, he delivered an excelle nt gpeech, foreibly moderate in tone. He al- ways pleads the Irish cause in such a way as o sceure T SPECT OF ALL SIDES, Parnell arrived later and asked for an op- portunity to produce a measure relating to the payment of, say three-fourths of the orig- inal rent, This proposal struck the entire perfectly reasonable, and one heard senso of relief that the chancellor of chequer agreed to give the required time, while, of course, not pledging the gov- ernment to any support of the measure. Thereupon Dillon withdrew his amendment. All would have ended well put for Labou- chere and his RESOLUTION DENOUNCING CHURCIILL. Had Labouchere been left alone no harm would have been done, for the house saw the farcical nature of the whole performance and cleared out into. the lobby. Labouchere ‘was left speaking to empty benches. This soon dampened his fireworks, butin an evil moment that bellicose tory orangem an, San- derson, rushed out to make one of his tre- quent forays upon the Parnellites. e taunted O'Kelly, MeCarthy and others, on the strength of an anonymous pamphlet, with laving n the epi- TAKEN THE FENIAN OATII, ling them, therefore, by implication, trait- ors.

Churehill, throwing cold water liberally,prop- erly objected to the introduction of an anonymious charge from a pamphlet already made the subject of proceedings in a court of Iaw, but it was all useless. ‘The sluices were opened and the FLOODS OF WILD TALK 00n overwhelmed the entire house. A tory member, Robert Webster, made an absurd reply, and the house was convulsed with laughter. 1le ended by sitting down on the hat of Hartington who, following on the Yarnell side, congratulated him on havin gt on lis hat when his seat was not in it. Another tdry, Bethell, also excited much ridicule by his way of quieting matters. Two Parnellites made short speechies for the phil- 1stines, one, Jordan, aeclaring that American gold made hiri Join the land league, HONORS IN BLOCKHEADS were easy all round, ‘The speaker had sonie- what lighter work than fell to him the night before, no ex-cabinet minister getting into unseemly controversy with the chair.

Harcourt rushed out of the house amid tne ironical cheers of the Parnellites when he annonneced on Friday that he sympathized with Dillon’s amendument bat declined to support it-a declaration that was recelved with frigid silenen. | cannot say the week has dono mueh to nee anybody’s reputa- tion, but the game is all on sides confessed to be diffieult, Inspito ofgskillful tactics the majority against the Parnellites are heavy and solid, and justify the pre- diction that they vy cause delay and develop NEW SCIENCE OF OBSTRUCTION, but cannot change result, In the house about a couvle of seore of radicals have left their mark oo the sight of a great historie Tabri he couscrvatives are uuited on the main issue, the general feeling in the party being adverse (o the expanseof public monoy for the benefit of Irish landlords, in favor of the redress of roal grievances tor the benefit of the people, and opposed to a separate pariiament elected distinetly on th isaues, ‘The conservative parly cannot torsaks them.

A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT. ANOTHER VIEW. McOarthy Talks About mons' Proceedings, NE GARDENS, Toames Es- BANKMENT, LONDON, Sept. 4.— [New York Herald Cable—Special to the Ber.]--We are having a stormy time of it in the house of commons. — Every night, lately, we have had a vehement between the Orange members from Ulsxer and the Irish Nationahist membel We have had peremptory and sometimes inexplicable interventions on the part of the speaker. The house is a little puzzled by the recent demeanor of the speaker. 1le interrupts, rebukes, menaces and silences members in a way altogether new to our pro- ceedings. The Pall Mail Gazette had an OMINOUS LITTLE PARAGAPIL yesterday in doub-leaded type implytng more or less darkly that an explanation is to be found in the fact that the speaker is tem- porarily out of health, Night before last the speakercame suddenly down on no less a person than Sir William Vernon Harcourt. Hareourt, amazed at the unwarranted inter- vention, tried to argue the vont, whereupon the speaker snubbed him sharply for endeavoring to dispute the authority of the ¢hair. Harcourt tried to ex- plain that he was not disputing the authority of the chair, but only endeavering to ex- plain his own position. But the speaker WOULD LISTEN T0 NOTHING of the kind and Harcourt had only to submit while making his feelings pretty well known in an audible murmur to those around him. Perhaps the speaker fastened upon so important a personage as Harcourt in order to prove to the house that it was not merely the new members of the Irish na- tionalist party he was able to cope with and putdown. The effect of all this on the tem- per of the house is very bad. Men got irri- tated, nervous and ane No one knows when ke may get suddenly pulled up by the speaker for some breach of order of which he is himseltquite unconseious, THE SPEAKER WRONG. In mary instances during the last five nights the speaker was, according to any judgment T can form, and I am a pretty old parliamentary hand, decidedly wrong, In any case, no policy on the part of the presid- ing authoritf can be less caleulated to pro- mote the cause of good discipline than a too frequent exercise of power. We had a very ANGRY LITTLE SCENE between Dr., Tanner, one of the nationalist members, und & new conservative member, Captain Colomb— e,which in other days, would have led to a duel. Colomb w un- derstood by Tanner to say that he (Tanner) wits paid for obstructing the business of the house. Whercupon Tanuer repiied that Colomb was a har. Now the reply was certainly strong, not to say rude, but at the same time one cant't wonder that an educated man a man of good position and high character like Dr. Tanner, and also of warm temper like Dr. Taunner, should make a strong re- ply to so insolent and baseless an aceusa- tion. The speaker interposed judiciously and properly in this case. Colomb apolo- gized and Tanner withdrew his words. ANOTHER 8¢ Swash Buckler Saldado of Ulster orangemen, ioned by Colonel Saunderson, the hing in reading to the house long ex- tracts from some absurd pamphlet called he Report of the Union Conspiracy of Mr. Parnell and the Irish Republican Brother- hood.” 1 confess I had never heard of the pamphlet betore, There are so many anony- mous pamphlets published to accuse Irlsh members of; all sorts of offenses that on loses count of them or interest in them, This particular work of fiction purports to give the names of certain Irish members who, having taken the oath of al- legtance in the house of commons, have also en an oath to a Fenian organization, an oath pledging them [0 ARMED REBELLION, ‘The reading out of some of these names was enough in itself to satisfy any rational man of the worthlessness of the pretended information and the absurdidity of the cousation I was mysely particularly amused to hear the name of my son, Justin Huntly McCarthy, inciuded in the list of those who had sworn this tearful oath, Idonot know whether I was myself included in the list or not. I ow that some of the names—all of the names, I may say—which I heard read out, were names of men who were about as likely to join just now in o secret and sworn eonspiracy, to get np AN ABMED INSUBRECTION, If the statements in the pamphlet were not true, why were they not denied before this? Colonel Saunderson indignantly esks, Well, for ono reason, because most of us had never heard of the pamphlet. My son, for example, had never heard of it, The plain trath is, as I have said before, there Is no use in 1rish members troubling themselves about pamphlets containing aceusations against them. There appears 1o mo tobe a sort of manufactory or forge for things of that kind put up in London. ‘There are two or three men-—one an Eoglishman, one or two, I am sorry to say, Irishmen— who scem to Apend their lives In GETTING UP INFAMOUS BOOKS about the nation and members.

'O PROPL out meas one of an of they are their pr leaders cenuine, PRINC Alexander Addresses His Ofcers in a Pathetic Strain, SoFTA, Sept.4.—[New York Herald Cable Special to the Bik, [—At the close of the porade Prince Alexander gave a reception to the palace officers’ and addressed members at length. After heartily thanking them for their fidelity—a fideiity which, he said, wholly wiped away the shame with which the treason of their comrades had stalned the honor of the fatheriand—the prince went on to say that he had ever acted upon conscious convietion, and to the best of his knowledge for the good of their common country, and that if he had com- mitted errors they must be attributed to the imperfections of human nature. TILE CZAR'S DISPATCE The speaker next observed that amid the joy which an enthuslastic reception at the hands of the people caused him, there had suddenly descended the dispaten forwarded to hitn by the Czar. Handing the document to the assembled officers, Prince Alexander said it had created grave anxiety and d manded the most serious and eareful con- sideration; that it was ndt, he assurea them, a case of which his own person was concerned. It was & question the well-being of the fatherland. He was, therefore, ready to take counsel with all patriots, and to confer with his oflicers as well, for hie was of the opinion that whatever was done ought to be done on a basis of the fullest understanding with the country and with the military leaders, so that the m ures de it construe to the permanent welfare of Bu AF¥ At these words corps, its 1S~ ECTED TO TEAR all the ofticers present burst into tears, and the prince was himself painfully affected.

A Washington gentleman who yisits Ber- muda yearly said yesterday that Charleston is not the only place over which anxiety may well be feit at this time. It is well known that the island, by its peculiar tormation and location, is especially susceptible to injury by earthquake shoeks.

Provssvie, Pa., Sept. 4 cial Tele gram to the Bre]—From a reliable information was received this afternoon that General Master Workman Powderly has tendered his resignation to the tive board. 1t 1s said Powderly will not take no for an answer this time. Several times be fore lie has tendered his resignation, but the pressure from prominent the order and from old personal friends impelled Nt to withdraw it. 1t is understood now I will go, no matter what is said or done Induce i to remain at the heaa of the or- der. Powderly is tired of the strife and tur moil which his position brings him, his work has been so arauous that it is mak ing an old man of aim before his time, But the chief reason, it is thought, why he insists upon retiring is that he is poor, and thinks it is time for him to do something toward et ting a competence, Several good opportu- nities have been ofiered him in the past two years, but lie has sacriticed his self-interest beeause of his loyalty to the order. Now, however, his near frieids say justice to his tamily has impelled him to détermine upon a new cowrse. Who Powderly’s suceessor will be is not yet known, It is hinted, however, that e Nad fixed anatters so that Richard Grifliths, of Chicago, will be the next general master workman.

Lexpect to see at least twenty-five labor congressmen, and possibly thirty. There will be, in all probability, seven from New York and Brooklyn, and three are counted on from Chicago, while it s expected that Pennsyl- vauia will have four or five. With such a laree representation it is not unlikely that it the republicans and deme- crats attempt to hold their own evenly the labor men Will have the balance of nower in the house. In that case they wil name their own speaker. With a spéaker elected by their votes something decisive and remedial may be expected from the next congre: upon the labor question.
