What the Coming Winter Has in Store For Ireland -Bismarck Schem- ing—Russian Persecution of Germans—Other Foreign., The Week in Commons, Hovse oF Comsons Linrany, West- MINSTER, Sept. 1L—[ York Herald Cable- Special to the 3 ‘The public n- terest in parliament is now centered, not so much on the present proceedings—than which nothing more dull and wearisome could be imagined—but on the probable action regarding Parnell’s bill. Mr. Glad- stone has been appealed to to return and take part in the aiscussion, and [ understand he has sent a favorable reply. Consequently it is certain that the debate will be animated. The Parnellite cause is practieally led by the greatost tacticlan alive. ‘This imparts con- fidence in that secticn and inereases their de- termination to give the new government a foretaste of the trouble in store next session, when the real TUG OF WAT COMMENCES, Parnell’s measure avpeals to many who oppose a separate parliament, its avowed ob- ject at least being caleulated to excite wide- spread sympathy, namely: To alleviate the inevitable distress and suffering of the ap- proaching winter, 1t brings leaseholder under the operation of the lund act, prohibits ejectments on payment of the proportion of the old rent decided by the courts, and revives judicial rents, Two proposals out of the three are in conflict with the principles formerly solemnly enunciated by Gladstone, but it 1s thought probable he has changed his opinion. 1he evietion clause is the only one that can be called urgent. 1f strong proof is produced of the necessity for action, it is possible the government may consent, though all appearances at present are inst it Hartington returned apparently expressly to consult with the ministry, Rumor says he will OPPOSE PAT Most likely he will wait to see what they are before deciding. The reports about the house on such points are worthless, most of | % the members heing as fond of idle gossip as '~ any number of old women. This bill willun- doubtedly canse great disturbance among the various parties into which the house is now divided. The larger section of the radicals o will support the bill. The liberal-unionists gonerally, though 1 believe not all, will op- pose it. Some few conservatives may hesi- tate, and if Parnell succeeds in showing a fall in the value of Lrish produce so great as to cause distress requiring exceptional treat- ment, they may vote for him, . TIE CONSERVATIVES IRRITATED, But the fact is now palpable that the bulk of the conservatives are irritated even at Churehill conceding a right for the discussion of the bill. Although that irritation is absurd, yet it must, toa certain extent, embarrass the government, The conservative members and their constituents are generally of the opinion that further yielding to their de- mands will do more harm than good, hence T have heard bitter complaints of Churchill's wo-called weakness. It appears to me tohave been the most statesmanlike act yet per- formed. tubborn refusal to even listen to Parnell’s case could only lead to mischievous results. The moderate wing of the conserva- tives desire to have Parnell’s case judged on its fair intrinsic merits, with the intention of doing it justice. But pray recolleet; in the progress of the diseussion, how muel: THE GOVERNMENT IS IAMPERED y conciliables on both sides of the house, rendering it certain beforehand that what- ever course is taken will give dire offense. In spite of this unreasonable discontent mod- erate men admit that the conciliatory attitude by Churehill adopted thus far was sagacious. . Itis ridiculous to see people complaining of it who a few weeks ngo were denouncing ¥ him as violent-tempered, hot-headea and de- ficient in tact, The truth is, he exhibits a power of work, command of temper and readiness of resource that surprise even those who knew him best. Dillon, Sexton and others have admitted, during the diseussion of the past week, his fairness and good sense, BITTER QUARRELS MUST COME, but it is surely wise to defer {huul 10 as late a date as possible.

It reatirmed with vigorous pre- on the line of policy on which the Irish party and the Irish people have determined toact. It explained toall the world, as I have already explained in my dispatehes, why itis that the Irish people, at home and abroad, look upon recent events as a TRIUMPH FOR THE NATIONAL CAUSE, The question at issue, as Mr. Parnell pointed out, is no longer one between the Irish party and the house of commons, or between Ireland and England. It is a question between the combined liberal ovinion of England, Ireland, and Scotland, and the combined toryism and renezade liberalism ot England alone. In a minor way Mr. Parnell's bill las laid down the lines of the only policy which he and his party can consent to act on, In reward to the immediate pressure ot the land question, it is only, of course, A TEMPORARY to save the tenantry of ruin while some abiding reforms are being prepared. It is not likely thav the bill will comebn for several d; yet. The govern- ment wants to get on as far as they can with the votes of supply before they undertake a debate on the bill, andParnell, while not anxious to put unreasonable pressure on, is naturally unwilling to let all the supply slin out of the hands of the house of commons b fore having his debate. ‘There may, there fore, be some difticulty in arranging for a day on which to bring in the bill, but it is clear enough that the government will have to make their arrangements in some way that will satisfy the Irish party. Of course I speak now merely of arrangements about a for thedebate. 1o not mean to sugzest thata tory government is at all likely to adopt the main prineiple of Parnell's bill and allow him to pass it into lezislation. The bill MEASURE Ireland from utter WILL BE FIERCELY OPPOSED by all of the landlord i the house. It will likewise be opposed by a certain number of the secessionist-liberals, ©Of this latier body many are out of town and will make it a point not to return for the division on the bill. At some future day, when this land question becomes a question of libe against tory, theso men will be able to say that they never bill for staying evictions THE BILL'S PRO 3 Jolin Morley has been made acquainted, no doubt, with the provisions of the bill. In- deed they have now become public property, and the measure is sure to have his support, and there is still hope that Gladstone may come back in time to enforce it with a speech. 1t may be taken for granted that Hartington will oppose the bill. This will be the ONLY OTHER GREAT DEBATE of the session. Then grumbling legislators will be released and permitted, so much as is left them, of time consecrated to spoil. Then will come on England and on Ireland THE DREADED W1 t. Why dreaded? Why is 1t 50 much dreaded at this time is especially because there is only too much likelihood that it will momentous season for Ireland. parliament will not pass bea Assume that nell’s bill, and cven if the house of commons were to pass it, the houso of lords would infallib! j it. t We shull have the tenant farmer who inot pay his rent vlaced at the mercy of nis landlord. I say “placed at his merey” be- cause the landlord will feel con- vinced that this time wll the forces of the crown are to be freely at his disposal to enforee his claim, Thero will be on the one side a reekless resolve to have his pound of flesh; on the other will be a desperate fecling like that which animates one when one knows that now, at least, the moment has come when one bas to FIGIT FOR ONE'S LIFE O% DIE. Add 10 all tbis the unquestionable fact that it would be for the interest of the tory party if outrages did not take place in Ireland and thereby give an apparent excuse for mens- ures of coercion, Many secessionist-liberals, to do them justice, would not, under ordinary circumstances, vote for coereion, but the gov- crument can point to the number of outrages and violent acts done in Ireland. Then they will have an argument with which to work upon the semsitivo consciences of the scecssionists. Then will come another LONG AND DITTER STRUGC in the house of commons. No man who has been through a few yoars of such n struggle wants to go through more of it, but all the samo those who vesisted coercion betore in the house of commons will resist it again, andwitk: the old determination and enorgy, and will resist It now under very different conditions. While we were earrying on our Dattlo against coercior in those days - we worea small cluster of men against, T way almost littevly say, & whole house of com- mons, Now we have eighty-live, shall be, I hope, eighty-six of our own band, aud shall lave the support of a great number of Eng- lish radieals, Therefore, if we have the worl putupon us, we shall do it cheerfully and with agood heart, and the tory goverament will iind they have undertaken a task at mgs as diflicult as the upheaving of Atlas, HUMONS OF THE STRUGGLE I remember, oddly enough just now, one of what L may call the humors of the old cocrcion struggle.

Herr Von Winthorst will endeavor to raise a question concerning the Poles in the east- ern provinees. Tt is thouzht improbable that the government will sueceed in limiting the session to three duys, in the face of the pre- vailing excitement. The political anda relig- fous and Russian sentiment is increased by reports of the PERSLCTTION OF GERMANS in the Baltic provinces, under the enorgetic carrying out of ascheme to “Russify” those provinces, T'he judiciaries in Livonia and Kourland have been chaneed, and the judges, nominated through the German bourges have been dismissed orplaced under Russia judges. The German sehools are superyised by Russian inspectors, who insist that con- versation and correspondence shall be car- ried on in the Russian languaze.

New York, 8wot. 11.—To<lay's race has decided upon which side of the Atlantic Awerica’s cup shall stay for at least another year. 1t resulted in a glorious vietory for the sloon Mayflower, when she finished this evening at 6 o’clock, 11 m., 40 sec. The atea was nearly two miles astern. The course was twenty miles to the leewarda and return from Scotland light ship. The race was sailed in a breez» that blew fresh from the northwest for three hours, then canting two points to the westward it fell light, the t hours of the contest being little better nadrift. ‘The Mayflower only had 8 m., 20 sec. to spare when she crossed the finish line, as the time-limit of the race was seven hours, The( ea was defeated on every point of sailing by the Mayflower. In the run to the outer mark with spinnakers set she was beaten 13 m. 45 sec., and in the windward work over half an hour. There is great re- Joicing among yachtsmen here to-night, whiie the Bostonians are fairly wild with de- light. Off the whistle bouy at 10:15 the Galatea was cast off and her crew soon ade sail, while the Mayflower erew did the same, both setting their elub top sails. When the judges’ boat ran alongside the Galatea, Lloyd Phoenix, representing the New York Yacht club, told the regatta committee that Lieuten- ant Henn was very sick in_the cabin, and that he wished the course to be made fifteen miles instead of twenty so a8 to be sure and finish within a re se it should fall ealm he wished Luckenbach to tow the cutter back, if the S not com- pleted, ) he could | doctor early.

" The cutter was full a quarter of a mile to the eastward when the whistle blew. She came along With the wind abeam until she crossed the bow of the lightship close aboard ; then Squaring away, her spinnaker was sheeted out exactly on a line, and the third day’s battle had begun.

For about twenty minutes the Galatea held her own with the sloop, but after th: e Was practically out of the race,for the Mayfiower was leading ner nearly amile when the half ance to the “‘outer mark” was covered.

As thedmyflower slowly approaclied the finish the exeitement became intense on board the steamers. There was no longer any fear that the Mayflower would be defeated, but the time—seven hours—had almost expired, and thero was great fear that after being so near the goal, the Boston sloop might not beable to finish.
