QOSCHEN DEFENDS THE BILL. Passed Second Heading Without UI- rlslon The Kail of the Ilastllo Celebrated Without lls- turhanco. The Irish Land Illll. LONDON , July U. In the commons this evening Lord Randolph Cliurclilll , resuming the dc.li.ite on thu land bill , objected to Can- Herman's amendment that the bill bo ro. Jc-ctcd only ns raising a false Issue. The government had boon forced to offer a tem porary land measure before the session closed. Proceeding to oxamlno the clause or the bill , ho supported Dillon's criticisms on the restrictions of lease holders , a clause of which ho hoped the government would at tend. 1I did not sue that the tenantry would derive , any benelit from thu clausn dealing' with evictions , [ Parnclllte Cheers. J He would fear to Intrust Irish agents and advisers of the landlords with the powers confered upon them under that clause. It was not within the limit of physi cal possibilities to deal with the clause this session. The bill must be lightened by throwing It over. The Bankruptcy clause was equally objectionable. If the govern ment , with the Irish members , would agree to deal with arrears by the division of judi cial rents Instead of bankruptcy clauics , the bill would be dcprlu-d of Its worst featuies and become acceptable to the country. Sir William Vernon llarcourt congratulated - lated Lord Randolph on his clear opposition of the defects of thu bill. If Lord.Raud- oloh's speech led to a now development of the bill the house would have 110 difficulty In passing It. Ooschen , chancellor of the exchequer. speaking In behalf of the government , said that wlrilo they would not attempt to dis guise the difllculty of tiielr task , they would refuse but a single vote by making anv con cessions against tht'lr convictions. Dwell ing on the temporary character of the hill , ho Raid the government would do their best to meet the views of the contlemcn on the other Hide In regard to the leaseholders' clause , but he coldly defended the eviction clause. Pnrnell upon rl.slng was loudly cheered. He said he thought Goschcn was looking rathei to the enhanced value of peoporly under his future land purchase bill than to the Inter ests of Irish tenants. The government pro poses to abolish evictions by executing them under another name , with thn ob ject of getting rid of tha record of such transactions as evictions. He warned the government that the land scheme would not affect the national feeling In Ire land , lie suggested that If the government was not disposed to accept the advice of the Cowper commission It might at least meet the Irish members half way. Gladstone thought the debate had been conducted with great ability. Presuming that the government maintained ni : open mli'd regarding the suggestions made , ho thought It needless tc press the amendment to a division. . but that the house should bo left at liberty tc nriontl and substantially Improve the bill. VV. II. Smith said the government consld sldercd the bankruptcy clauses advantageous to thn tenants , and , It the house Insisted upor eliminating those clauses , on the liousi would rest the responsibility of the aineud racnt negative. The bill was read a second time wltbou division. It was decided to consider the bll In committee Thursday next. The Fnll nfthe Rnstllc. I'Aius , July U.

" Karl Granville said ho would not deny th the government finding itself unable maintain law and order by existing measure had a right to apply to parliament for fu ther measures , but when the restrictions pr posed suspending common personal right the clearest proof of It was required to lust ! the exceptional law. The state of Irelar was as peaceable now as In 1SS3 , when the o dlnary law was found sufficient.

Interviewed. NEW YOUK , July 13. [ Special Telegram to the DEI : . | A Honolulu special to the Her ald , dated July S , gives the report of an In- tervlc.v which the Herald correspondent had with King Kalakaiia. The king Is reported as saying : "Tho history of the present trouble would be too long to enter Into now. My po sition to-day Is largely ono ot Ignorance as to what Is exactly going on. As I understand It. however , the now constitution Is being dtawn up by a committee of revision , com posed of my present ministry , the supreme court and a number of cltUcns. What that constitution contains I do not know , but 1 am Informed It has provisions that will radically alter the political condition of affairs. " Ho continued : "For instance. I am told that It will confer a franchise upon alt residents , whether citizens or not. provided they are property holders holders. Now un less class legislation Is practiced that will extend the franchise to the Chinese , Jap anese and Portuguese , and cut oft the voting power ot some three or four thousand natives whoso present quallllca- tlon Is that of education , and under that there ara between eleven and twelve thous and voters , of whom not more than live or six hundred are white. Now , It is a serious question whether 1 have any right to sign a document I working such Injustice to my countrymen as thh ? new constitution would do at the Instigation of the meeting , more than three-fourths of whoso members have no sav in this country's affairs. " "Will you sign the document ? " was asked. "I shall not. " he repeated , "unless ad vised to by my privy council to whom l shall submit unless 1 am com pelled to do it instantly under duress. But no matter , whether signed by duress or advice. I shall consider the docu ment Illegal. The only way the existing constitution can bo changed Is by a vote of the legislature at two successive sessions , and when people attempt to change the con stitution in any other way they simply make me ati unwilling party to an ilfeeal act. " "What are the relations between yourself and the new ministry , " was the next ques tion. tion."I oannot tell , " answered the king spreadIng - Ing open his hands , "i have not seen them sluco they took the oath of ollice. " "Uut that , " it was suggested , "was nearly a week ago. Why do not you summon them and ask them to bu informed as to the true condition of attain ? " "It is surely the duty of your ministry to keep you informed of ail that Is occur ring. " "It Is , " said the kins firmly. "That will show me their hand , or , at all events they snail bear the responsibility of keeping me 'n ignorance as to what is going on. I'll do .I , " and , summoning Antolno Rosa , his chambcrmah , ho gave orders for the immedi ate convening of his ministry. "Do you fear any personal violence 1" "It you mean dreading it , 1 say uo. If you mean anticipating It , 1 cannot say. 1 do not fear dying , and 1 do not believe that the end of the trouble has been reached. " "What means have you of self defense ? " " 1 have my bodyguard of sixty men , who are passably well armed and drilled , an Aus trian battery of six field pieces , two grape cannon with a sweeping lire , good bolts to outside doors and good hearts within. Then , too , there are two companies of native vol unteers called the Queens and King's own , composed mainly oi old retainers. " "But outside there are 300 men , over a thousand rllles , and ammunition enough for a slece. " "Yes , " replied the king , nervously wetting his lips , "but tticy have not got in side vet. " Will you call on the United States ship Adams lor assistance ? " wasaskol. Mot exactly for assistance , " answered Kalakaua. "Hut I have detcrmlnrd upon the sailing of the Australia tills afternoon either to request the minister ot foreign affairs to ask the foreign representative consider the advisability of adopting coitaln plans for assuring me of my personal safety or else to inakean appeal over my own signature. " "My pioposltlon , " ho added , ' "will bo that a detachment of mm lues shall be landed from the Adams and be quartered at the palace , and my argument will be that tlicli presence may stop bloodshed which mlghl other wise occur.

This decision Is that the Pacific Coast Steamship company , which runs a line of vessels from San Francisco to the terminus of the Canadian Pacific railroad , may carry freights In bond from American ports on the Pacitic coait through Canadian territory via rail unites , to the eastern parts of the United States. The Canadian Pacific road Is not hampered by the long and short haul clause of the Inter-state commerce law , and It will doubtless secure thousands of tons of freight through this order.
