Cable Special to the lint : . I The public in
terest In parliament Is now centeied , not BO
much on the present proceedings than
which nothing more dull nnd wearisome
could bo Imagined but on tlio probable
action regarding P.unell's hill. Mr. Glad
stone has boon appealed to to return ami take
part In the discussion , and L nndcistand he
ha.s sent a fiivoiahlo icply. Consequently It
is certain that the debate will be animated.
The J'arnelllto cause Is practically led by tno
greatest tactician alive. This Imparts con-
lldcnco In that secllcn and Increases their de-

i or wn COMMIM'JS. :
Painell's measiuii aopeals to many who
oppose a sep uatc paillamcnt , Its avowed ob-
jcct at least being calculated to oxclto wide-
spiead sympathy , namely : To allu\lato the
Inevitable distress and sullcriiiff oC the ap-
proiehing winter. It brings leaseholders
under tho-opciallon of the land act , piohtblts
ejectments on payment of the piopoitlon of
II 10 old icnt decided by the coutts , and
revives judicial rent1 ; . Two proposals out of
the thicoaro In conlllct with the pilnclples
foimcily solemnly enunciated by Gladstone ,
but It is thought probable ho has changed his
opinion , llio eviction clause Is the only one
that can be called urgent. If strong proof Is
produced of the necessity for action , it Is
possible the government may consent , though
all appearancesnt present are against It.
Hartlngton ictmned apparently oxptessly
to consult with the ministry. Humor says

OITOSE 1'Aiixr.M/s rnoposAT.8.
Most likely ho will wait to sco what they
aiobofoio deciding. The reports about the
house on such points aio woithless , most of
the members being as fond of Idle gossip as
any number of old women. This bill will un
doubtedly cause gicat disturbance among the
various paitles Into which the house Is now
divided. The larger section of the radicals
wlllhiippoit the bill. The liberal-unionists
Boncially , though i be'lleve not nil , will op
pose it Some few conservatives may hesi
tate , and if Parncll succeeds In showing a
fall In the value of Irish pioduco so great as
to cause distress lequlrlng exceptional tieat-
incnt , they may vote for him.
i in : coNsintvATivns IHIHTA-IIID.
But the fact Is now palpable that the bulk
of the conservatives aio Irritated oven at
Churchill conceding a riuht for the discussion
of the bill. Although that Irritation Js absurd ,
vet It must , to a ccitaln extent , ombariass the
government. The conservative members
and their constituents RIO geneiallyof the
opinion that further yielding to their de
mands will do more harm than good , hcnco I
have hcaid bitter complaints of Churchill's
no-called weakness. It appears to mo to have
been the most statesmanlike act jet per-
foimcd. Stubborn refusal to oven listen to
Pai noil's case could only lead to mischievous
results. The moderate wing of tlie conserva
tives dcslie to havii Parncll's ease judged on
Its fair Intrinsic merits , with the intention of
doing It justice. Hut piay recollect ; In the
piogross of the discussion , how much
Till : OOVKHNMU.VT IS IIAMI'IIHKI )
by hreconclllablcs on both sides of the house ,
rondeting it coitaln beforehand that what
ever course Is taken will glvo dlio offense ,
In spite of this unreasonable discontent mod
erate men admit that the couclllatoiy attitude
by Chuicblll adopted thus far was sagacious.
It Is ildlculous to sco people complaining of
It who a few weeks ago were denouncing

others have admitted , during the discussion
of the past week , his fairness and good sense.
IllTTKU QUAr.nKI.S MUST COMI3 ,
but It Is surely wlso to dofei them to as late a
date as possible. The Gladstonhins will
lolui n for the Parnoll bill , but nil have lied
toi the moment and the front opposition
bench was ornamented by only one man
last night , a subordinate In the late govern
ment. I'ainell hovcied about continually ,
Jp.idlng , as I supposed , the "mischief In the

could not do till the supply was over , be

( New York Herald Cable Special to the
BHK. ] Painell's speech at the dinner of the ,
lilsh parllau'enU-irj , paity on Wednesday ,
wasn political manifesto. It was intended
to bo such , and It was received by tlio public
as sueh. It icalhimcd with vigorous pre
cision the line ot policj on which the Iilsh
paity and the lilsh pcopW have. deteimliiod
to act. It explained to all the world , as 1
have alicady explained In mv dispatches ,
why it Is that the Irish people , at homo and
abroad , look upon recent events as a
IllllMIMI roil I UK NATIONAL CAfM' .
The question at Issue , as Mr. 1'ainell
pointed out , Is no longer one between the
lilsh party and the house of commons , 01
between Ireland and Ihid.tml. It is a ,
question between the combined libui.il
opinion of Kngliiud , liclaud , and Scotland ,
and the combined torylsm and renegade
liberalism ot Knglnnd alone. In a uiinoi
way Mi. rarncll's bill has laid down the
lines of the only policy which 1m and his
party can consent to act on. In rcg.ud to the
immediate piessuie ot the land iiuestlon , It

111(11 ( while some abiding reforms aie being
prcpaicd. It is not likely th.it the bill will
comoTm lorhovcral days yet. The govern
ment wants to pet on as far as they ran w Ith
th'o votes of .supply bcloio they nndeitako n
debate on the bill , and Purnull , while not
anxious to put unreasonable piessuiu on , Is
natuially unwilling to let all the supply slip
out of the hands ot the house of commons be-
foio havltiu his debate. There may , thcie-
fore , be home dilliculty In mranginglor n day
on which to bring in the bill , but it Is clcai
enough that the government will have to
make their airangcmcnts in some way that
will satisfy the liish paity. Of course I
speak now merely of ariangcmcnts about n
day for thedebate. 1 do not mean to suggest
that a toiy government is at all likely to
adopt the main principle ol Purnell's bill and
allow him to pass It into legislation. The
bill

by all of thelandloul paity in the house. It
will likewise bo opposed by a certain number
of the secessionist-liberals. Of this latter
body many are out of town and will null. o it
a point not to return foi the division on the
bill. At some future day , when this laud
question becomes a question of liberal
against tory , these men will bo able to say
that they never voted against the bill lor
staying ev ictlous In distressed Iieland.
THE HILL'S IMIOVISIOXS.
John Morley has been made acquainted , no
doubt , with the provisions of tlio bill. In
deed they have now become public property ,
and thu measure Is suits to have his support ,
and there is still hope that Gladstone may
comeback in time to enforce It with a speech.
It may bo taken for granted that llaitlngtou
will opifoso the. bill. This will bo the
ONLY OTIlEi : QUUAT DU11ATK
of the session. Then gi umbling legislators
will bo released and poimlttcd- much as is
left them , of time consecrated to spoil. Then
wlllcomo on England and on Iieland
TIIK DUIAIHI > wiNiuii.
Why cheaded ? AVhy Is it so much dreaded
at this time is especially because there Is
only too much likelihood that it will bo a
momentous hcason foi Ireland. Assume that
parliament will not pass Painell's bill , and
oven if the house of commons were to pass
It , the hoiibO of lords would infallibly reject
It. Wo shall have the tenant farmer who
cannot p.iy his icht placed at the mercy of
his landloid. Isay "placed at his meicy" be
cause the landloid will feel con
vinced that this time all the
foices of the ciown aio to be freely at
his disposal to enforce his claim. There will
bo on the onosldo a reckless resolve to have
'Ids pound of flesh ; on the othoiwillboa
dcspeiato fouling like that which animates
one when one knowb that now , at least , the
moment has come when one has to
rioiiTFOit oNn'sLirn ou IHU.
Add to all Ibis the unquestionable fact that
it would bo for the Interest of the tory party
if outrages did not take place in Ireland and
thcieby give an appaumt excuse for meas
ures of coercion. Many sccessltmlst-llberals ,
to do them Justice , would not , under ordinary
circumstances , vote for coeiclon , but the gov
ernment can point to the nniubei of outrages
and violent acts dona in Ireland. Then they
vv ill hi can argument with which to woik
upon the sensitive consciences of
the secessionists. Then will como another
I.OMJ ANI > 1IUTEJS bTUUgOLn
In the house of commons. No man who has
been through a few yeais of such n struggle
vuuitstogotliiough more of It , but all the
bimo those who icslstcd coeiclon be to re In
the house of commons will losht it again ,
and with the old dctot initiation nnd ouoigy ,
and wlllicslst It now under very different
conditions. Wliilo we were cairying on our
battle against coorcio j In these days . we
were n small chutei of men against , I tray
almost llttoily say , a whole house of com
mons , JS'ovv wo have eighty-live , shall be , I
hope , eighty-six of 0111 own band , and shall
have the suppoit of agicat number of Eng

put upon us , wo shall do It ehcn fully and
with a'good hoatt , and the tory government
will find 11 toy have undei taken n task at mesas
as difficult as the upheaving of Atlas.

IHii.tN , Sept. ll. | Speclal Cablegram to
the lUi : : . ] Thy meeting of the reii'listai : is
awaited with much anxiety. Nobody be
lieves that tiie business ot tlio t-pssion will bo
limited to tbo discussion o ! the Spanish
treaty. It Is reported that Prince Bismarck ,
in explanation of the European situation ,
will sel/o thu occasion to convey a fr.uik
warning to France. The 2\orth German
Gaettc and other official papers comment
unceasingly on what they term the "bellicose
manifestations of France , " ami they de
nounce lieneial Uoulanger's tnojecls for or
ganizing the Kronch army as an Immediate
menace to Germany. Further icasons arc
also iven why Bismarck should dliect the
attention of Krance. It Is asserted that he
will adopt this course in order to dheit the
minds of the people from
ins t NPOIHI. vu roLicv
regarding Kusshi , ami to obtain a renewal of
tlie military scptcnnatc and Increased war
charges , among which Is the co l of repro

hton working night and day and have accu

Heir Von Winthorst will endeavor to raise
n question concerning the Poles in the east

the government will succeed In limit in it the
session to tluce days , In tlio face of the pie-
vailing excitement. The political and icllg-
Ions and Russian .sentiment is increased by
reports of the
rr.itsi cniov or onuvi.vxs
in the U.iltlc provinces , under the energetic
cairvlne out ot a elieme to "Kusslfj" those
provinces. The Judiciaries In Livonia and

decided upon which side of the Atlantic
America's rup shall stay for at least
another year. It resulted In a glorious vlc'oiy
for the sloon Mayflower , when she finished
this evening at 0 o'clock , 11 m.10 sec. Tim
G.ilatca was nearly two miles astern. The
course was twenty miles to the leeward and
lutiirn fiom Scotland light ship. The race
was sailed in a bieez that blew fresh fiom
the northwest for tlneo hours , then canting
two points to the westvvatd It fell light , the
last houis of the contest being 'ittlo better
than a drift. The Ma } flower only had 8 m. ,
20 sec. to spate when she crossed tlio finish
line , as the time-limit of the race was even
hours. The Galatea was defeated on cveiy
point of sailing by the , Majflower. In
tlio run to the outer mark
with spinnakers set she was
beaten 1 ! ) m.15 sec. , and in the windward
workover half an hour. Tlicio Is great re-
jolelnir among yachtsmen hero to-night ,
while the BostonUns aie fairly wild with de
light
Oil tlie whistle bony at 10:15 : the Galatea
was cast oil and her crew * eon made sail ,
while the Ma > flower crow did the same , both
setting theli club top sails. When tlie judges'
boat ran alongside tlie Galatea , Lloyd
Phoenix , repiesentlni : the New York Yacht
club , told the icpntta commit too that Lieuten
ant llenn was very sick in the cabin , and
that ho wished tbecoinse to be made 111 teen
miles luste.ut of twenty .so as to be sine and
finish within n reasonable time. In case It
should fall calm ho wished Luckeub.iph to
tow the cutter baek , it the lace was not com
pleted , so that ho could see
a doctor early. Secretary Robinson said ho
would consult with General P.ilmj as to the
length of the couisc. That gentleman , when
seen , said ho would leave the matter entliely
In the hands of the committee. They de
cided that the couiso should be southeast
twentv miles , nnd steam\ng \ baek to thu
( jal.Uea that couisu was given them.
U.ipt.iiu Webb was sailing the cutter ,
Beav01Vebb looked after tlie s.iils , while
Mis. Heiin peeped out ofthe companlonway
with an anxious look in her uves , for her
husband's condition alaimed her consider
ably. A fleet ot steam and sailing ci.itts ,
neailvaslargeas that of Thursday , had as
sembled near the startiitk point , Scotland

steameis , Grand Republic and Columbia , and
the lion steameis , birius , Copheus and

human freight ot yachting eathiiHlnsts. Tlie
bieezoa freshening every uiomoilt , and as
it was the lust time the jaehts had como to-
nether vvlieio the Hist lidlf of thu contest
was to bo sailed to the luerVnrd , there was
much discussion as to the probable icsiilt.
When the starting siirnal was given at
U20 : ! the Mayflower was.ln'iin excellent po
sition square to-tho northwest of an Im
aginary line drawn between the Scotland
Jght ship and Luckenbiieh'i'Icing"n cable's
length to the northward of K. Her spinnaker
boom was down to port , aitft thlrtysecouds
after the signal the eieat SMI blossomed , out
amid wild cheers from the thousands on the
Gland Itepublic With the main boom broad
off to the starboard , " her pyramid of
snowy duck gleaming'in the sunlit-lit nnd
a smother of loam at her sides , the Boston
beauty dashed across the line well in tlie
le.id. The cutter w as full a quarter of a milo
to the eastwald when the whistle blew. She
cr.mo along With the Wind abeam until she
crossed the bow ot the lightship eloso aboard ;
then squaring away , her spinnaker was
sheeted out exactly on a line , and tlie third
( Jay's battle had begun. '
Thuolllclal time of the start was : May
flower , 11 o'clock , 23 ni. 40sec. ; Galatea , 11
o'clock , 31 in. 10 sec. "
With a twenty mile run before them there
was an excellent oppoitunlty to test their
speed in a steady bieezc , and with very little
sea to impede their progress. That a "stern
chaso" is a long ono was never bettei illus
trated than in that twenty mile run. For
about twenty minutes the Galatea held her
own w ith tlio sloop , but after that she was
practically out of the raee , lor the Mayiiower
was leading nor nearly a mile when the half
distance to tlio "outer mark" was coveied.
The steamboat captains ic aalcd past
warnings and kept well away fiom the con

sight nnd in half an hour tlio fleet of steam-
eis , numbeilng thlrty-onu in all , had gath-
eied aiouud it to await thd coming of the
j-ichts. The wind had falli-n light and had
canted a point to the westward. Down
camu tlio trio , like white winged birds ,
beiore tlio wind. The Mayflower's balloon 1lb
topsail came in all o'clock ) U in. , SO sec. Four
inmates later in came hex spinnaker and
t 1 o'clock OT in. she gybed fto poit and came
for the mark , close-hauled on the staboard
track , Lulling grandly round it a few mo
ments later , amid a seieuaclo of steam whis
tles , the piIdo of Boston , under tlnee lower
sails and club topsail , began her wlndwaid
woik with a lead of neaiiy a mile. The
Galatea gj bed at 1 o'clock 52 m. 80sec.havlng
"doused" hu spinnaker tlneo minutes be
fore.
The time of roundingthol < outer mark" was :
Mayiiower 1 o'clock 55 m. 03 sec , ; Galatea 3
o'clock 10 m.0 .see ,
The PiIscilla luffed aiound the woik only
three minutes after the Mayiiower. The
Galatea made a very pietly plcturo as she
laid down to Iter scuppers , and began her
chase to the w liulwaul alter the sloop. Both
had about all thu wind they wanted to cairy
the club topsails In. Captain Stone put the
Mayflower about at l.Vi : and stood to the
1101 tit ward. Beaver Webb was sailing the
, < ! alatca. Ho refused to tack to. At 2-i : !
Captain Stone brought the Boston sloop
aiound again , She was then over a milo on
the cutter's weather beam. Two minutes
before goingabout tlie Mayflower took in her
club topsail. She can led her work
ing topsail for > an hour ,
when tlio wind liavlng lightened
consldciably , she set her clitbtop sail again
also her "baby" jib top sail , the Galatea hav
ing set hers shortly before. Both yachta
went about at 1- : and stood to tlio north
ward.
They wore off Deal beach at this time and
the wind was grow Ing lighter atevery mo
ment. The Mayflowerwasruckyenough ! to
hold the llL'ht air undei llli ( land , whilu the
Galatea lay almost becalmed tor almost
twenty minutes. The cutler tacked at 4.37
and imido a short brand t'inshore , " going
about again at 4:45. : from hero the
sail up the Now Jersey nuach was little
better than a diift. As thaJfiiyllownr slowly
approached the finish the cttdtemeiit became
Intense on board the .steamers. TJieie was
no longer any fear that thq Mnyflower would
bo defeated , but the time fwen hours had
almost expired , and tltero was great fear that
after being so near tlio goal , the Boston sloop
might not bo able to linlat . Just as all hope
was dvlng out the breeze freshened , and with
only 8 in. " 0 sec. to spare tlio Mayflower
shot across the linlsli-IItie , close-hauled
on the port tack , just as the BUU sank to rest
in the horlnon'a crim'-pn ' halo behind Sandy
Hook. The cheering and whlstllnc and
waving of handkerchiefs lasted lor fully ten
minutes , Urn crew ot the victorious sloop
waving and checitmr themselves until tlio
> acht was long past tljo ftnlsji. . The Galatea
finished aim. Ibs after the Mayflower. As him
cam to an anchor the Maylluwoi's citnv gave
her three lousing cheers , whleli the English

What makes the attempt moio dastardly is
the fact that tlio outbound passenger train

that tlio wreckers hoped tp blow up
the tower , and wJi ui the passenger train
came along to throvv.tltQ switch and thus tiio

Another attempt to wreck a train took

the western railway general manners last
ing until late this evening the informal com
promise of yestculay , levlvlng the Western
Fielghtassoclatlon , was made binding. The
principal obstacle to day was a refusal by the
Wubasli to pool its St. Louis business at Chicago
cage rates. This was finally removed by the
adoption of proviso that all similar business
on other loads should be pooled on the t-ami )
basis. The agreement was then voted upon
section by section , and each section was
ndop ted separately. When the agreement as
n whole was put to n vote , theio was a slight
hitch , representatives of two loads being
without authority to act. Thuy finally cave
their assent , subject to the approval of their
dlrectois. Tlio tuico between the loads ,
which was to expire by limitation September
15 , was then extended to October 1 , and Urn

GAUUINKU , Me. , Sept. 11. The last rally
ot the icpubllcan campaign' in this state was
"licld in the spacious coliseum in this city to
night. In the courstof his rcmaiks Mr.
Blalncsaid :
It is worth while in this last hour for dis
cussion , standing , as we aie , on the eve of an
election , to recall the pecullailtles of the
campaign , for ccitalnly tlie gencial aigu-
menL submitted to the people has been ,
on the side of the opposition , Tilled with con
tradictions , not to say absuiditics. The
democrats have appaiemly been unable to
define their position on any question. On
the leading national issue of protection they
have been timid and ii resolute to the last
degree , occasionally putting foiwaid a rank
tree tiado nigument , thiough some one of
their leading oigans , on the succeeding day.
They nigtto in Maine for the Morrison
tai 111 bill as a whole , and yet aio afraid to
touch any one of tlie many leatuie.s of that
bill , in which thecommeicial and agrictiltu-
lal and manufacturing interests of Maine are
injured ordestio.ved. Tlieinost leaincd doc
tor of Salamanca would be unable to find any
thread of consistency , any line ot logic , any
dash ot common sense in the mode fit which
the democratic party has conducted Its cam
paign on that cieat issue. They seem , in
deed. to have kept up a moio show ot liclit
on behalf ol theii own paitv , while depend
ing in icality for any uossiblo chance ot vic-
toi j upon the diversion and distraction caused
byatliiid.paitv , and that thhd party in turn
has exhibited as sti iking peculiarities as the
democrats themselves In tlioit mode ot con
ducting the campaign. Gencial Js'cal Dow ,
who has , lei the last quarter of a century.
stood for two continents as tlio gicat witness
of the value and cllectlvcness of piohlbltion ,
Mowdcelains that tor thirty yeais It has
not done a bit of ! good In tlm suppicsslon of
the liquor tiafllc in Maine. ( Laughter. ) Gen-
eial How lias thus , appaiently , been willing
to set at naught his own testimony
throughout this long period in older
to achieve victoiy tagaust ! the icpub-
llcan . If theio bo consistency
in political action , If thine bo honor ami fair
dealing among1 men , tlio icpublican paity
and its candid-lies exhibit both In their earn-
paign , which so far as I had a woid to say , Is
now closed. I bid you a coulhil good night.

to the HUB. | A giavo question which the
treastny depailmunt must meet at an early
day , and ovei which it haspu/zled for several
> ears mst , Is thu matter of the piotcctlon of
om 1101 them ami southem fiontleis against
smuggling. The Infilngemeiit upon out
tail It laws has crown from jcar to jimrto
enormous piopmtlons , until It Is now totally
hejond the contiol ol the foices of the cus
tom house. An ex-tieasur.v official stated to
day that whllo tlio whole foicc of the govern
ment had been tinned out to prevent smug
gling at u few gient points llko New York ,
1'lillndclpliln , Baltimore , Boston nnd
San Franelfcco , om not thorn and
southcm lumtiers aio neglected and
are oncn gtitowajs for contin
uous and enormous frauds upon the onsloms
leveuue. Ho said : "Whllo om olllcers at
New Yoik uru snatching a half do/en bottles
fiom the cabin of some foreign sailing vessel ,
or taking a few jntds ot cheap silk off some
poor sailoror lugging a few leels of dgaiottes ,
01 a hall do/en cigars from tlio stuto loom of
olllceis or some ocean 'tiaiiip. ' tlio vvholo
fioutler Is nt the mercy of ilch and powet fill
combinations engaged In this business. Con
gratulations on the reduction of smugglim ;
at the great seaports may bo in older , but It .
means , not tint these combinations and sjn-
dlrates have been driven out of business , but
that they have simply transferred tlielr opera
tions to Canada. Our fatlll imposes heavy
duties upon many aitlcles that
are eonsuiu'-d in this country" These
things aio nil free or chared by
a low i ate under the Canadian sohtraulo , and
they nio impoited in laigo quanll6s { ! Into the
Dominion. To urlng them thoncb acioss the
bolder Is the easiest thing In the world , for
out custom houses on tlie bolder aio few and
far between , and the meagro supply ot offi
cials furnished by our government Is barely
sulllcletit to cairy on the tontine duties ot
the custom house , saying nothing of watch
ing liuiidiods of miles of frontier.Vehavo
on the St. Lawiciico and New England
fiontier astietch of ncaily 1,200 miles to bo
covered by some bundled or two inspectors
and special olllceis. Thoiesult Istliat thioueh
tlio 10'ciug loads of the Aioistook , down tlio
liitcof tlio Dead river Into lower Maine and
Voiinonr , and along the whole St. Lawienco
to tlio head of Lake Ontario , a systematic
system of smuggling is being can led on.
Biandy , cluais and woolen goods are con-
stantlycpming in in largo quantities , and the
oliiceis find it impossible to check it.
"Our northwcstein frontier Is becoming
another soinco ot tumble. For nearly 2ouo
miles this whole bolder lies nnpiotcctcd , and
hkins.Turs and the pioducts of that leciou
aio brought bv the wagon load Into the U lil
ted States. The collector at St. Vincent has
a largo part of this bmder under his clmreo
and is given a halt doren otllccrs nil told. Hn
was recently given an inspector nt 81.50 per
dav , to reside at Bismaick and to look after a
frontier of over 500 miles In length.
The Mexican frontier , of ovei 1,500 miles' ,
has always been a souico of serious trouble to
custom ollieers , and of late years they have
given up tlio attempt to piotect It In despair.
Add to this the petty smuggling done on our
extensive coast line at both sides ol tlio con
tinent , and jou sco how utterly inctllcient
nnd inadequate is our picgont system.
Twenty-eight special agents of tlio customs
service , witli a little Incillclent aid fiom what
Is known 'fraud roll '
as appointments , uio
trying to stay this tide , but the task Is one
altogether too 21 eat for them.
"You can gain some Idea of tlio e\tonslvo
business that is done through Canada when
it is known that ono single Maiden Lane
li'jn of diamond Importers are suspeetod o '
having smuggled In ono jear ovei § 300,000
woith of diamonds through Canada by way
of Detroit and Chicago , thus defrauding the
government of § 20,000 in duties. This is'but
one of hundreds of llko cases. It is a matter
that must bo met either by treaty or foico la
n veiy shoit time. "
