LONDON , Aug. 7. There was considerable
excitement among the conservative members
who were present at the opening of today's
session of the House of Commons. The re
port stage on the homo rule bill was reached
at'nn earlier hour than expected and Mr.
Balfour , the conservative leader , who had
an important amendment to otter to the bill ,
was not present to submit the amendment.
Mr. cBalfour's proposed amendment Is in
tended to prevent the Irish members who
shall bo retained In the Imperial Parliament
from voting on any questions except motions
that arc offered to amend the homo rule bill
after the bill shall have become a law. The
conservatives were exceedingly desirous of
having the amendment submitted. Mr.
George Hartley , who represents the north
ern division of Islington in the conservative
ntorest , requested to bo permitted to act as
lis substitute in otTonng the amendment.
Speaker Peel ruled th.it at this stage SUD-
stitutcs could not ho allowed. A number of
conservatives , who had expected that there
would bo a prolonged debate on Mr. Hal-
four's proposed clause , had taken advantage
of their expectations to absent themselves ,
Intending to be present when notified that u
vote was about to bo taken upon Mr. Hal-
four Vs proposal. By their absence they also
lost their chance of moving amendments to
the bill. Among those who had important
amendments to nffcr but who were absent
were Sir Julian Goldsmid , Viscount Wolmor ,
Mr. Edward Heneape and Major General
[ Joldworihy , Search was made for them ,
l > ut they could not bo found. A number of
: lauscs were then proposed by other mem
bers of the opposition , but the speaker ruled
them out , on the ground that due notice had
not been given of their submission or that
the proposals did not comply with the. rules
of the house.
Thu unionists stood aghast as they saw
the report sweeping through with lightning
speed. Their fright was allayed , however ,
when Mr. .Inmos Parker Smith ( liberal
unionist ) , nu'inbor of the Patrick division of
Lanarkshire , after having eight now clauses
proposed by him ruled out , obtained the
speaker's sanction to move that the bound
ary commission under the bill bo instructed
to inquire as to the bolter division of the
Irish electoral districts.
The debate on this motion was taken up
and this u'avo the opposition tuna to breathe.
The conservative and liberal unionist whips
wcro at once dispatched In search of the
absentees to summon them to tmmcdiato at
tendance in the house ,
Messrs. Balfour and Heneago and other
members of tljo opposition appeared In the
house in time to take part in the debate on
Air , Smith's motion. Eventually the motion
was defeated by a vote of I'.lt ) to 152 , ,
Mr , James Parker Smith moved two
further clauses , Urallng with elections in
Ireland. After some debate each clause was
rejected , ono by n majority of 4'J , the other

He said that the silver hi the hands of the
people of India was estimated to amount in
value to from 180,000IKX ) to jC150lXX,000 ) ,
Owing to the stoppage of free coinage of sli
ver by the Indian government the people
were unable to llhd n market for their metal

by n great deal of excitement. First there
was n boated dnb.itoon the question whether
anarchistic and Independent socialist * , duly
certified as delegates , should bo permitted
to attend the congress , Mr. Canon of the
United State * advocated the exclusion of
the French and Dutch delegates. Finally
n resolution was carried to admit delegates
only from societies recosnlzlng the necessity
of the organization o' labor concurrently
with political action. The adoption of this
resolution , which was tantamount to the
exclusion of the anarchists , led to a great
uproar. The avowed anarchist delegates
positively refused to withdraw ; several of
them had to be ejected by force. In the
midst of excitement Herr Lumtauor ) ( v Ber
lin anarchist , used a stick and precipitated
n hand-to-hund tight , in which ho was nt

land his right , but ho was mot and stopped
very cleverly. Plorco appeared to have
gamed confidence in himself as the round
ended.
Round S Dixon started in for business.
He sent in his loft and drove Piurco to Iho
ropes. Then followed such a volley of
rights and lefts that Picrco must have
thought there was a shower of arms and
hands. First ho became dazed , tried to re
cover and then went down in a heap.
Struggling up before the time limit ho
was mot with Ughtuing-llico jabs in
thu face and jaw that would have
settled a bigger and stronger man than
Picrco. Ho sank to tho' iloor and was
counted out. It took nearly ten minutes for
him to regain consciousness. Picrco was
clearly out-classed.

The two boys who were caught whllo
bathing nl Uccitn Grove with short
sleeves on tl\cir \ battling .shirts ( Uncov
ered one of thu curiosities of Bcushoro
morals in this locality , twys the Now
York Sun. Three ] ) lncus are in u row
and quite oloso together just here. . They
are Deal. Anbury I'nrk and Ocean Grove.
At Deal , which was \ \ coast resort dur
ing thu revolutionary war , thu boys
could have gone naked into the surf , for
there is no onu to nay thorn nay. At
Ahbury Park Mr. Hradloy fays Unit all
bathing suits shall bo such as those he
rents , which nro of the Ilocknwny pat
tern , adopted there by the Irish , the
most modest of moderns. Hut thu par
ticular requirement at Asbury Park is
that the logs of thu trousurs shall bo
long at least to the knee , and fur
thered by stockings inthucnoof women
bathers , It is enough for Mr. Uradlov
to know that in Frtincu the women havu
discarded stockings. It's wear stockings
or o dirty in Anbury Park. At Ocean
Grove the young lads were driven away
to complete their bath olsowhcro. bo-
cuiifu their sleeves wore too short. That
is Iho main point at Ocean Grove. Thu
trousers legs are a minor consideration ,
but Iho sleeves must bo long.
A story Is told of a young man who
went buthinar at Ocean Urovo last mini-
inor and stayed in so long as to attract
general attention. Hour after hour lie
remained In thu surf , furtnur out than
the gunurnl crowd of bathers , and oven
when i > o'clock came and thu othurs loft
thu water to dross for dinner , ho still
stayed out thure , blue and wrinkled and
bhivuring. The bathing master at last
swam out to him and asked him why ho
did not come ashore.
" 1 am waiting till dark , " said the
bather. "I have lost my trousers. I
cannot find them anywhuro on the hot-
torn , so I mtiftt bttiy hero till dark. "
"That is too bad , " hnid the bathing
muster. "If you had merely lost your
shirt , you could swim up to Asbury p'nrk ,
where they don't care about whether
you havu a shirt or not , and go ashore
and borrow a shirt , but the rules hero at
thu Grove are so strict that you will bo
arrested if you show yourself. "
"Hut 1 will drown , ' said the young
"Oh , for God's sake , don't do that , "
Bald thu bathing master. "Your body
would come ashore and make an awful
scandal. Kldor Stokes would have you
put in a felon's grnvo. "
"Oh , what shall I do ? What shall I
do ? " the young man wailed.
"I'll toll you'said the bathing mas
ter. "Swim down to Deal Ucach ; it's
only about a mtlo , and there's no law or
decency there. It's u wicked place ,
where they soil boor. ( Jo thure and wade
ashore , and I'll send some ono to you
with n pair of bathing drawers. "
Thus the young man's life was saved.
