It traa consigned to tne head otUee in London of the London and Hirer Plata Bank. In tho meantime, tne Balniaceda government ras overthrown and an ininnction was obtained in the Chancery Court by representatives of tho congressional government restraining the London and liiver Hate Bank from indorsing or banding over the documents relating to tho bullion and compslliufc its deposit in tho Bank of England until the ricntfnl ownership was passed upon by tho court. Mr. Jackson, Chief Secretary for Ireland, stated that the whole sum of 10.00;). oco assigned for tho purchase of land in Irelund under tbo Ashbonrne act had been abtcrbtd. Tha pending applications for advances, he added, amounted to JCCC1.534 above the sum provided by the act. In the debate this evening on the address In reply to tho speech from tb throne. Mr. Thomas bexton, member lor West Belfast, moved an amendment, of which be cave notice a few day ajfo, declaring that a majority of the lrib people and their representatives in Parliament are convinced of the inability of the imperial Parliament to legislate for Ireland in the manner required by the distinctive interests of that country. and that this conviction has beeu intensified by the manifest failnro of the land-purchase act to afiord a basis for an extension of the class of occupying tenants. Mr. Sexton beld that proof of English inability to legislate for Ireland was found in tho fact that while England.mce the union, bad progressed with leaps and bounds, Ireland has been reduced to the lowest level she has seen within a centnry. Throughout the stupendous transactions of live years under the Ashbourne act, ho eaid, not a penny had been lost by the state, the securities provided for under the Ashbourne system of purchase being ail entHcient, but the purchase act of IbQl had a fatal blot in the insurance fund, foredooming the act to failure. As a result not a pound of the guaranteed land stock had leen taken. The eviction clauses had also failed. They had tempted landlords to ask exorbitant prices. Until Ireland was set free to manage her own affairs Parliament would never be free to manage English airairs. Mr. Jackson. Chief Secretary for Ireland, replied that Mr. fcextoa's criticisms of the land act were premature. The aot had been In operation only a few months. Special causes accounted for the small amount of business done under the act. When tenants bad time to appreciate the value of tho land stock, that stock would lind a ready market. Mr. Sexton's amendment was rejected by the close vote of 17J to 153. The announcement of the tipures was received xvith prolonged cheers by the opposition and Irish. The address in reply to the speech from tbe throne was then formally adopted. To Mr. Sexton's query whether the local government bill for Ireland would be introduced on Thursday, Mr. Balfour sodded in tho affirmative. CENEXtAL FOREIGN NEWS,

Retaliation Would Not Tar. Loxdox, Feb. 15. The Globe to-day says that tho prospects of foreign co-operation in the Chicago yColumhlan exposition do not appear very bright. In the caso of England, the Globe adds, the very grave feeling against the McKinlcy bill has not ytt subsided, but It is to bo Loped that manufacturers will not let their feelings overcome their prudent judgment. Furthermore, such an attempt at retaliation is more likely to hurt themselves than any one else. The Americans and Germans are strenuously trying to tako our commerce. The absence of British competitors at tho fairwonld.therefore.be regarded more as a benefit than otherwise; it would also be regarded as an admission of defeat. The Mexican Messiah Dying.

Pittsfcursr Coroner Finds a Fruit Firm Was Implicated in a Recent Fire. Pittsburg, Pa,t Feb. 15. Six weeks ago tho Dablmyer Building, on Liberty street, near Sixth street, occupied by Saitta & Fergassi. Italian fruit-dealers, was destroyed by fire. A month later the remains of an Italian known all "Old Jack." or Bplittz, who had been employed by the firm, were found in tho rnins. The coroner instituted a searching investigation, and to-day returned a verdict that "Jack" had set the building on tire, but an explosion of natural-gas prevented his escape and btt was burned to-deatb. The verdict also finds P. A. Suit tii. a member of the firm, and John Hazza. an employe, guilty of aiding and abbetting in the crime. They were committed to jail on a charge of manslaughter nnd this evening were released on 5.109 bail each. The stock was insured for flfi.OOO and the firm compromised for S10.0CO. A charge of arson will be preferred against the two men. ONE SIDE ONLY WILL BE HEARD. Concluded from First Paen, present rate of seven-tenths of 1 cent per pound was agreed upon. The chief of the Bureau of Statistics informed tbe committee that no bindingtwine has been imported for several years. The only justification, therefore, for a tariff of even eeven-teutbs of a cent is that it is the duty of the government to so Adjust the revenue lawn as to prohibit iciortations, and this principle, aside from icing indefensible on constitutional grounds, would, if carried out, destroy all revenues, aud compel ns to raiso the necessary expenses of government in some other way. Fivo thousand tons of" twine were manufactured and consumed in the United States in lbOO. If. as is probable, the even-tenths of a cent is added to the price, because of this protection, then the item cost tbe farmers of the United States $790,000 aud brought no revenue to tho government There are thirty-five cordage and binding-twine factories in the United States, twenty-nine of whioh are owned and controlled by tho trust or National Cordage Company, of New York. The twenty-nine in the trost produce CO per cent, of tbe total output. It is my opinion that this bill will pass the Honse by a large majority and 1 do not believe that the Senators who favored it before will dare to oppose It this time. If they do, they will find it very difflcnlt to defend their course to the farmers. The President will hardly veto the bill if it reaches him. however much he may be opposod to changing the existing tariff law. If the Senate onco eees the wisdom of modifying the present law. it may oe pre.naded to accept other measures which will be presented to it." Annual Meetl ic of Wheelmen. CoLUMlirs, O., Feb. 15.
