H.?Parliament ts hard nt W ork /?ting money, getting rapidly through tho esti? mates. I' it - hat peop'c really want to know ia the form ni wim 1' Mr. Parnell's new Land bill will be totriKlu."! d and what cuirse tho Government will %ohe. Thc interview with Mr. Parnell tn Monday's Tat bv ni, republished here, waa eagerly studied, but it wi 1 depend on the terms in which the meas? ure is framed, whether or not the bill has a chance of ben | :k ' ? pied hf the (Jovernment. Lord Ran? dolph (limehill no doubt explicitly stated that the Government, while granting a hearing, had not the least inti iitH'ii of accepting this or auy other pro. poaal tor Irish legislation at the present session, bnt I_ont Randolph ls a man who likes to assert a negative aa the basis for a _*uW<|iicnt concession. He haa already b 'tn told by a leading Tory journal that he must give mic pan. and that the essential part, of Mr. Parnell's ashl-M h I favorable consideration. This Ia the proposal to suspend processes of ejectment ?where the tenant pays three-fourths of the rent. Practically that is a proposal to reduce Irish reuts all round ?J.'l per cent. Nohody supposes that the quarter reunited will ever be recovered. This may seem a great concession for the Government to make. It is; but Mr. Parnell will be expected, on )n* win, to offer some sort ot guarantee that, if the lau 'lo. 'ds forego this fourth, the other three-fourths alial actually he paid. If the landlords and Land IMPM could come to terms. Lord Churchill would be only loo happy toad as intermediary. Theie is still a stronger inducement. If abar p im can kt struck, there will be hope of a quiet trista-. Tins, I believe, tho Government really desire. Those who thiuk they want an excuse for coercion misapprehend their present policy. Noth? ing would put a greater strain on the relations be? tween tho Tories aud Liberal Unionists than coercion, but whether Lord Hartington and Mr. Chamberlain will support Mr. Parnell's measure jaOMai tiffi, as Mr. Parnell seems to think, wholly on the Merita of his proposal. Mr. Chamber? lain's declaration holds good. They will not help to tain out this Ministry on any aide issue whatever. Th?y have no scruples about behm put in a fatso position. Mr. Parnell must coma to terms with Lord Randolph Churchill if ho e_p?cts Unionist votes, and the moro reasonable his hill tho more likely Lord Har? tington and Mr. Chamberlain aro to allow Lord Randolph to compromise-. If Mr. Parnell gets any measure whatever passed thia session, his tnnmph will be a gre?t one. There is a rumor that Mr. Gladstone will return to tako part in the discussion. The I'arnellitos thus far are keeping their side of the bargain with Lord Randolph Churchill. , There has been a debate on the estimates with no ob? struction. Last night's debate was important. The ordnance question came up, and the Reform party carried two points. Mr. W. H. Smith, Secre? tary for War, agreed to appoint a commission or committeo to overhaul the existing system to find out why the army gets bad guns, bayo? nets, swords aud saddles, and agreed further that the navy should henceforth supply its owu guns instead of being depeudeut, as uow, on tho army. The official admissions as to the extent of present deficiencies are most remarkable. Colonel Hope's charges against individuals appear to bave failed b cause they wore not sufficiently specific, bul the system is a.ready shaken. The abdication of Prince Alexander has produced a shock of genuine disappointment iu England, and perhaps Ausiri;_ Nobody doubts any longer that Russia has had Bismarck's support throughout. Austria acquiesces not too willingly. Russia is not to occupy Bulgaria, nor assume an ostensible pro teciontte over that unhappy ountry, but a Rus? sian civil ct'iniiiissioner goos to Sophia as soon as tho Prince leaves that city. A Russian officer lakes eh irue of the Bulgarian army. Russia will han witt she likes, power without responsi? bility. Probably Alexa?der, iu tho face of Russia and Germany, without tho support of a single Euro|*eaii power, with Bulgarian opinion divided, thanks io Riutiaa agencies, had no choice but to rd ire. Willi hun (OSS the last hope of Bull/.mau ile'., pendene". Bulgaria becomes practically a BaMiM province.

A princely throne is, nidcd, overt urned, but Alexander's nhili flilloti is ii'tue the levi a ilefeal ot democrat ie principle, the triumph of which his return was thought to have secured. Sir Edward Thornton's retirement from Con atantitiople is final. Able diplomatist as he is, the appointment gave little satisfaction to a large sec? tion of the Ki.glish people, who believe that the chief nus-ion of an English Ambassador at the Turkish carmal is to detect and defeat Russian in? trigues, ."-ii Edward Thornton is not sufficiently aiiti-liii*.*i.ui to sim tins party. Sir William White, who Mice-ed*. Sn Edward Thornton, is a master ol the Eastern question, perhaps lie Uer qualified than any other Knglish diplomatist to ineet Russians and Turks on their own ground. The nineteenth Trades Union Congress met in Hall on Mouday. Ihe proceedings wire rather remarkable. THese congresses, always iinuortant, seem taking a new line, or scvci.il mw lines. Trades unions have abandoued ur inodilu-d the old theory of keeping out of poli? tics. Their Parliamentary Committee, formed for pioiiioting legislation in tho interest of labor, ex? tends its supervision to the election of labor can? didate- Tlie unions, moreover, aro stretching out their hands on oue side to the Church and on the other to the Socialists. They invited the sympa? thy of the pious bv a Sunday meeting to demon st rate the connection between trade-uuioiiisin and Christianity. The addresses delivered at the two first sittings were marked by uiauy extreme and MM strougly Socialistic views. Mr. Maudesley, the teiunorarv chairman, described the Knights ol Labor strike m America as a failure, but a splond.d failure, a step in the right direction. This and his recent visit to Pans had convinced him of the feasibility of concerted action among workingmen the world over. Mr. Maddison, the uewly elected j r--.ideiit, delivered an address which was one long outcry against poverty, ami against capital as the souice of poverty. Intercourse with Con - llBSBt al Socialists seems to have affected his views Bl well as those of Maudesley aud tuauy otUeruuion !*?'?. He is, moreover, a disciple to some exteut of li<-iir.v Gea>rge, and repeata annie of George's uuii tn-i-.M- about land nationalization, which English workingmen, as a body, regard with tho contempt ii deserve*. He probably borrowed from George, who never scrupled toabuae his own country abroad, his assertion that unfair conditions of labor exist lu America. Mr. Maddison considers the exiMmg social system of England rotten to tbe core, be? lieves poverty remediable by a combination of w.irkers who, among other things, are to lioycott employers of underpaid labor. Missionaries should be seut abroad to induce workmen in foreign coun? tries to adopt the same policy. Sensible proposals about eight hours work are coupled with panaceas for poverty in which tho State u to play the part of a beneficent despot. To this end labor is to have a largely iucreasod representation lu Parliament These novel declarations attract naturally more attention, than ls usually bestowed ou trade cou grosses. The pn si diacussea them, aud takes ref? uge filially in the comfortable conviction that the Britiah workman ia a being too British ever to go for direction to Socialism. The English papers publish pretty full aacuuuts of the Mayflower-Galatea race, J lu standard, which is the fullest and Imost Inscriptive, insists that the contest would ?#ould have boen a closo ono had not the Galatoa >een interfered with by steamers and other yachts. ictrtcr's Agency gives a similar story more briefly, rho press has little to say on the result, but inda some comfort in tho fact that the wind was Ight and the Galatea, therefore, waa not seen at nor liesf. The Daily New* waxes philosophical, ob .orving that contest proves that the English have mnictbing to learn from Americans in the art of jleasure seamanship, and even concedes that the Mayflower was superbly handled and wonders whether Anierioans roally know how to sail yachts better than the English. The public consoles h jelfwith the reflection that the defeat of the galatea was a foregone conclusion. The death of Samuel Morley deprives London of \ merchant prince, the poor of a benefactor, Non L'onfonnists of their foremost layman and Eugland jf ono of the best Englishmen of his time. . _ O.

London, Sect. 8.?Henry Grenfell, of tho Bank of Kngland, being asked to-day how tba English tilmeulllsti like the appointments made upon tho now Beyal Commlislon for examining the relatloni of cur? rency to trade and oom meroe, eipressed hu conviction that tlie commission meant business and might be ex? pected to deal with ihe question ot me appreciation of gold rattly and practically.

The Gnvrnnn tat has done well In summoning Mr. barlio ir, Hi. lillian Finance Department Secretary, to I.n.' land to nt on this commission, for he ls thoroughly familiar with the ooudition of India and with the relation of silver to Its resources. Bullen Smith, of the India Gounod, will also be a valualilo n.-m berof the commission, as will my colleague of Hie I! ink of Eugland, Mr. Ilir.b, who li by no means a Sllstsl Hst.

Mr. Grenfell exuressod tho hope that tho United States would send out so:no cap allie aud tlioiou-'li Maa to represent tho currency Ideas of America Wtiilo tue commission ls sluing. Tlio United States, Fr mci and Germany, he said, are all of thuin deeply oouct-rm-d to observe vs hat pass'-s, and they should be prepared at thai proper moment to unite with us in measures calculated to reaojusi tho currency relations of tbe com? mercial world. Mr. Greuteil spoko warmly of the Intelligence and thorough mastery of tho subjoct shown by Dana Horton, wno oatae to Europe with .Senator Evans snd Mr. Thurman at the lime of the Monetary Conference in Paris, anti hoited lhat some ono of equal competence might come to England now. " It ls at least as Important," sm i Mr. Grenfell, " that the rlirht person should bI lent from America as lt that any one should be sent." Tho commission will be organ.zed at onoe and will go to work as soon as possible. Mr. Barbour ls understood to be on bis way from India. Mr. Chamberlain has gone to the Continent nu a ihree-montns' tour, but if the com? mission gets fairly to work be will doubtless return earlier. -_? MU. PARNELL EXPECTING DEFEAT FOR Hld HILL London, Sept. 8.?Since tho interview be? tween Lord Hartington and Lord Salisbury, all ii.nu-. of a compromise between ibe Government aud Mr. I'arnell hus bern abandoned. Lord Randolph Churchill ls dis? posed to bargain with Mr. Farnell ou the basis of Gov eminent support ot the single olauie of Mr. Hamel.'s bill relating to the suspension of evictions. The majority of the Cabinet are opposed to any liisu legislation until next year. Lord Harting? ton Insisted thut there should be uo tampering with the Farnell bill abd promised Lord Salisbury the vote of the Unionists, If tbe Government absolutely opposed tbe bill. The Chamberlain sectlou will not vote on the bill. Mr. Chamberlain, who has gone to the country, oaya tbat he will take no part In the debate. Ile adheres to his determination to do nothing to em? barrass the Government lu dealing with Ireland, Lord Randolph Churchill will offer Mr. Parnell facilities for the aecond reading of lils bill on Heptemtier IG, on con? dition that the Parnellltes offer no obstruotiou li-ior lo ll.e passing ot tbe whole of the estimates. Tbe Parnell i'i's, aiming to retain control of the Government, insist upon the consideration or Mr. Parnell's bill before the estimate*. The probable Issue will be thai Mr. Parnell will accept Lord Randolph's offer, knowing'hat the defeat of his bill ls certain. .Mr. Parnell bas sent a draft of his measure i.o Mr. Glad? stone.

It was the jenora', opinion thut I race across Massachusetts Hay in a |ale ol' wind Wonld IM a lunch belter test of tin* weatherly uuahtios of tho American and English champions thaa a race around Bermuda, Ono yachtsman said: " A race around Benaada would involvo a groat expense of time aud niiiin-y, and tho yachts might get good weather and they might got ba 1. I am in hopes that some American yacht-owner will accept the Hornill.la challenge if only to show that we aro uot afraid to take our yachts any where. If I owned one af the biir sloops I would raco Lieutenant Henri around the world if be wanted BO to, rather than leave any suspicion that the yacht km unable to nuke the trip. Hut for testing the sea-going ? nullities of a yacht, what a chance it would Do in a race bom Marblehead to Cai*o Cod in a gale of wind. No child's play that, but real downright business. Uotli yachts would have the sumo weather and they would forever settlo the question of the relative value of a cutter and a sloop in a blow. Tho Eng?oh papen han been saying that tin- (ia'ai'-a ll not the fastest boat in England, but all atim11 that she is unrivalled among racing yachts fur weatherly qualities. I don't believe that an- ono believe* that cvou tho boastod Irex could sail with her in a gale. Now hern is a chance of a r.u.f the heroic kiud worthy of two great mari? time natit'iis. 1 hope Lieutenant Henn will accept the clialUnao." Opinion*; among yachtsmen yesterday were iiiihuiinuus ss to thc race of Taesdav. lt was a glorious light-weather victory for tho Mayllower, md every ana waa hoping fora good strong wind tu- lav and confident of victory. Groat indignation mu i {.preened at the way the racers wen- bothered by tlie excursion tugs aud steamers. Ex-Commo? dore Karita said in ngard to tins : ** lt is .-uipri-ting after all that has been said by the committee through tho press, aud the great deeire that every ouo must have that the racing yachts ..bunill havo fair play, that there can be lound Hailiug-inatters and idiots discourteous or stupid enough to put theil vessels in the way as they did yesterday.

While the majority seem te think It a ease of solride. thora are many who believe with bli family that tha apparent absence ot any motive for aueh an act precludes thia view. The young man's father, Charlaa A. Smith, la will known In business olroles hera. Ha waa form? erly a member of the firm of Chapman, Bmltti A liril ton, and waa In the dry-goods trade for over twenty years Io Chorch-it. He retired with a mug fortuna some yean ago and haa been living a rattra.1 Ufa of late. His family oonslsted of hts wife, two daughters, ona of whom ls married, an. Harry, who waa o .ly twenty-..wit yean old. Aboat four yean ago Mr. Kuma wanted Harry to go to college, b it on hla expressing a pnfaranee for business, a position waa obtained for him la tba Fifth Avenue Bank. He remained than until laat January, when lie beeeme tired of tha work, lt la said, and resigned. Early In tha spring Mr. Smith hired a cottage for Hie summer from William Humphries, lo Engte st., Engle? wood, and the family moved there In June, narry stayad at hoine nearly all the time. The family bsd a few acquaintances In the village and with theae he aud bis elster wen great favorites. He seemed to enjoy Ufa gnatly and on Tueav day Dight wsa Io nausually high spirits. All the family sleep on the second floor. They mired about 10:30 o'olock, aa usual, but Harry told hla mother, whan she went to kits him gool night, tbat he would nad a wime before going to sleep. He waa lo bed when she left him. Mr. Smith says that be bad aboat lost himself in sis <p when he heard a pistol shot. At lirst ha thought lt was outside the house. He cali- 1 to Harry to ask bim about ll, bul raeelvet no nply. Knowing that his son had a revolver hs became alarmed, and, with Mrs. Smith, hurried to the young roan's room. There they found him gasping la tho agonies of death, with tha blood pouring from a wound ta bis left stale lust below the heart. Tte) revolver, a S'-'-oet lbre seven-shooter, lay beside bim with one ot tba chambers empty. Hu left baud clutched his night? shirt, aa though be bad pulled lt away to uncover lila breast.

Tne funeral will prob? ably take place to-day. The family are almost proi truted by thesho-k. Mr. Smith re'-isei to consider for a moment tbat lt was anything but an accident. "What should cams Harry to kill himself I* be asked. "He Mi health, weald anti every, thing to live for. I know positively that he nial no baal habits or connections to eaus* him tr tallie.
