London, Aug. 2.*?Mr. Parnell, his friends and
alHes are fighting against the Com mission an if
lt were a question of life or cleat 1. The Irish
leader has thc unflinching support of Mr. Glad?
stone, 8ir William Vernon Harcourt, Mr. Morley
and the whole Gladstonian wins of th?> Liberal
party. They hare, nevertheless, carried res,stance
tt, a point which spoils their pinn of campaign.
Mr. Parnell still intends to offer to bring an ao
t-on for libel against " The Times'' as an al?
ternative to the inquiry befort the Commission.
The offer will Re iu vain. The Government liave
resolved to proceed with a common action, or no
action. When they lirat made their proposal fur
an inquiry by judges, it was open to Mr. Parnell
te accept or reject it. Ile declined to do cither.
If he now seeks to go back te that oflcr. he will
be told it is too late. Ile had the op*.inn and
refused it. The offer was not a continuing ono,
ls not now open to him. and will not be renewed.
The situation, indeed, has changed in severn,
respect* for ihe worse. The Government, and
House of Commons lime steadily rejected every
amendment and reft.st-,1 every concession de?
manded. Their bil] i-mains what it was. a bill
for unlimited Inquiry into every charge nv.de bj
" The Times" against everybody in connection
with " I*nnie Hism and Crime."
Mr Parnell's countercharge against Mr. Cham?
berlain has. at l.-ast for the peeaent, broken down.
The debale on the nmeiidments has !>i*,-n to violent
that on neither side is there Row any disposition
ta give Quarter. The most tremendous imputa?
tions arc flung lightly about* and the language
is such as has rarely boen heard in lin- House of
Commons in its worst day*. Mr. Parnell, once
Ihe coolest of men. I::e been a! a white heat all
the wee!;. Tarlee over he has aeeust-d his op?
ponents *f using pois .iii and dagger. In his pas?
sionate peroration ol Tuesday ni ghi he protested
Bgninsl the mis. ? the Mi::.-try. and
cried out: "Oh! it is poor; ii ii cowardly ; it
is loading the dice: it is poisoning thc dagger."1
Mr. Labouchere says unrobuk'-d on the Hour
of the Il'*::se.; "It is conspiracy." Sir
William Vernon Harcourt observed that tiie
Government made themselves " a men* conduit,
pipe f.r tht foul water of 'Thc Times,'*' Then,
changing metaphor, he said they had te deal with
" ihe slimy well of calumny woven by The Timm'
and its counsel, and l" wallow in this slime."
Whereupon the Solicitor-Genera] for Scotland re?
minded Sir William it wa- be who once described
ti..* Tories ss " stewing In Poxtu Ulte iuiee." Mr.
Healy, whose invective amuses the House in its
riost serious m rucnis. improved on Sir William
Harcourt's " slimy web e.f calumny." Tlie Irish
numbers, according t" him. were * drenched from
tii" hose of thc attorney-GeneraTs liquid measure
tank" nnd s!mt at by " Ministerial moonlighters,
fnm behind a hedge, wltb blackened facca." rhe

Smith's. Insinuated, ns Mr. O'Connor erie
that _'.vr::>' was directed i,y sbler, wickader men
limn hims"lf. meaning ths Parri-!!,?? -
Matthews promptly denied. Mr. Morley declared
that if Mr. Redmond's st.,ry sboul himself and
?? The Timi s" was true, " The Time*" had been
guilty of the deepest Infamy in suppressing Mr.
Redmond s letter. Tins morning's Imus prints
Mr Redmond's letter verbatim. Mr. Morley oilers
ao ex plan,.* mn.
Mr Gladstone, whose words are in common tinv-s
studiously moderate, .,
mg, of surreptitiously shifting Mr.
Goschen attacked Mr Gladstone with vehi monee
al. the more *,-??? - words were
guarded. An animated wn di a nt on across
'able on the poini whether Mr. Gladstone did
or did net believe Mr. Smith's word - I boi or. " I

qualified his Msumnee by innis

? d at Mr. Goschen he exclaimed: "Oh, I
have nothing to do vv:ti* members below the gang?
way who langs "
- Nothing t*e do with them," replied Sir Will
iam Vernon Harcourt, "yet thej represent it
nation "
.Nor are people outside tlie House eooler than
those inside. "The Times" Itself describes Messrs.
-?knell, Healy, T. P. O'Connor and Sexton as
pouring om a Hood of blackguardism, ar.d Mr
Glad-Unas and Sir William Harcourt ss entering
into competition with the foul-mouthed oratory of
thc Parn* llitas.

against the Ministry are two. Ihe fir*-t i> that

TUB GOVEBNMENT BELENTLESSLT KILLS
ALL AMENDMENTS TO THE COMMISSION
BILL.
London, Aug. 2.?In reply to Mr. Healy In the Com?
mons Mr. Goschen said that Mr. W. Tl. Smith
hsd not Interviewed the Editor of ? The Timei** ;
that he hui not teen him, anti that he hsd held no
communications with him regarding the Commission.
In replying- to Mr. Sexton, Mr. Goschen tti'l Ital he
; Old not know whether or noi Mr. Smith sent to tho
reporter's gallery thc mantuenpt of the Commission
( bill which was read in tin* House on July 12, and
, that the words * ana other persons'1 did not appear
In lt.
Mr. Labouchere called the a'tentlon of the not.se
to the breach of privilege of which "Tho Times" to day
wa*- guilty in charging ihe Pamellltes with trying lo
drown tbs Commission bin with a flood of Mash
gua.di.in unparalleled In the history of Parliament.
It deplored Ihe circumstance that Mr. Gladstone and
?**lr William Hat-court completed thc lotil-mouthod
oratory of their Irish allies.
Mr. Goschen wanned in the charge thst a breach
ol privilege hail la-en committed by -The Time-. - .- |
there WM ti" use to mitigate thc fact by saying that
Strong language had been used by thc I'artii-lli'-s
against "The Times" nailer the piotection of pttvttoga
, Bul if "he Hi msc followed precedents lt would :.ot now
' deal With the- breach of privilege, hut moult! proceed
with thc business of the day. Mr. Guichen accordingly
made a notion io that effeet. Mr. Gladstone se.-onded
I lt ami advised Mr. Labouchere to withdraw th.- Ra?
tion of privilege, t > which Mr. Labouchere agreed. Mr.
Glad-tone desired, he tald. to return good for evil
i In not pressing the rfuestlon ai preient. Bal Mr.
Benton wss ic,s conciliatory ani said thtt he detplsed
tu comment; the paymaster! and accompllres ol
forgery.
Mr. Goschen then moved that thr debate proceed on
I tho bill to ttivestlpate thc charges against the parnell
Hes. If lt wen- still under discussion, at midnight. To
ti,,- Um Souse agreed. He DOD moved that thc Chair?
man shall have power at 1 o'clock In the morning to
put the remaining clauses.
Mr. Held appealed to the Government to respect the
right of tie* minority to obtain a full dlteusetoe ol the
Klous cla.ises, and hoped that they would m.*
* cloie the debate until tbe final clause had been dls
cu-s>-d. which was to exonerat. '? Tho Times" bum
an action for libel.
Mr. Healy said the motion wa> Mother rroof that
iii ? i Ouservallvet won preparrd io treat the Pameilitos
In the laau inanner as the red Indian who danced
aiiniiid his victim at the .,t..ke.
Mt William Harcourt said that the motion was without
the slightest, reason to Justify it. The hill wai of
mc h importance that lt o-jghi to bc adequately dis?
cussed. The Gove,nineo . h" said, di! nut want
further dlscasskm, as th? effect upon tli** country
would bc aida, orable to them. They therefore alm.ed
their rights an a majority in order to gap their political
opponents
Mr. T. P. O'Connor said that the closure of debate
posed amounted lo a decree tliat thc* most Im
portani proposals In the bm mun be pa?ed without
lon. It vi as an act ol brat- vmleiir* on the
pan of inc Government.
Sll ' karim Lowis (Caassm-teSl contended that the

THOUSANDS DELAYED OS THE BRIDGE.
THK ENGINE THAT RUNS THC NEW* CAIil.f* BP.OKE
AND TIIK OLD CABLE WAH RELAID.
The Bridge rahle suddenly stopped runnlnu last.
evening at i", :..0 o'clock. In 'he midst of die heaviest
travel of the day. The people pouring up ta UM step,
filled the platforms on each end ol the P.rldg'* till
mneh confusion arose and the crowd tharne so un?
manageable tliat tiie gates had to be eloeed This
Sd IO ex.a_;/*rare tbOSS Wbe Were ibid out even
more than being penned In above In a Oloeclj pacl.'-d
crowd, whore th'-re was not breathing room. .*""
one seemed able tn explain the cause of the fr nil''
on the Bew-York side. Superintendent Hoi
was found on the BrooUyu side, just after having
arrived on the scene. To a Tribune reporter h"
explained that one of the SOSS on a wheel of the new
engine hail broken off This necessitated starting up
the old engine and since the new cable did not fit
the elli engine an old cable had to be laid. The
sujierlntendent soon had a crew diligently at work.
While the cable was being stietched alon? the north
traek, a long train of cars drawn by two dummies
ran back and forth on the other track. A great deal
of time was necessarily consumed In malling trips,
but tho crowd seemed to prefer scranihlng for a place
on tlie train to walking. A wild nish was matin
tor the cars each time they drew up, so that lt wm
even harder getting off than on. Men went scrambling
past the women, and tumbling In at the w:nd,*ws.
There was no k'ep'ng thu crowd off, and even When
lbs ga'e? had been closed men clnn< or, the nnt.lde
of them and hung there. Women .screamed thal
they wero being suffocated or crushed In the crowd,
but, except In thc rushes for the trains, the men
seemed careful nt te j >??! I them more than omi 1
bc helped In sue! a densely packed throng. Mr.
Hoagland accompanied the train on each of Its trips
and did much to eo trol those who showed a tendency
to bc unreasonable.
Ry g o'cloeh tl a nair cable had been talien up, md
the old one laid on the north tracie, when the trains
changed over ard the crew began work on tb)
track. Shortly after fl o'clock tho cable was Started
again With the regular trains running. A treat deal
of dliiatlsfactlon was expressed on all tMcS at 'he In?
convenience caused ly the accident. The ttoable,
however. wa= entrclv unavoidable, owing to a defect
In the wheel, and Mr. Hoagland spared no effort to
adjust matters as quickly as possible.

fur IBUMMUPM BUBBA Tutti*-*-*."
Stand I np Rod-- Igsasy, Aug. J.-The Commis?
sioners suffered another disappointment to-day.
The Indians took the treaties of ISSI and le7)". to
the comp lust night, and with thc assurances given
hy the influential half-breeds it was thought thal
they would be ready to sign today. Owing to
| last night's rain tiny were slow in returning this
morning, and not until 11 o'clock were the Cum
miK.ion.rs enabled to call them to order. Chair?
man Pratt remlnd.-d them that they had been
eiven the old treaties with thc understanding
that tlicy were to render their linal decision this
, morning. He repeated to them the history of
the goodness of thc Government and appealed to
them for the good of themselves, as well as for
the satisfaction of th'-ir true friends among the
whites to accept thc treaty. Yesterday they were
?-sited if they thought that the President, or the
Secretary of the Interics was lying te them, bnt
this thc Indians refused to answer.
Chief Gall spoin* ti winy for the first time in the
conference. He called the attention of tin* Com?
missioner*, to the violation of treaties in the past,
to the manner in which the Iii-liniis have been de?
ceived. He opposed thc proposition te 0[>en thc
I mtervattoa to settlement, snd -aid that while the
FlM.tans hud an Sbundanm af land nt present, they
must think of coming generations. Their pos
Qeritj- would need it all. As for himself, he stood
there to s;iy that be would never sign either paper.
; Ile said ha hoped that the learned Commission?
ers would let rhe Indiana go home to their crops
' which tire sulK-ring. 'inll wns very t__.pi
? and wns applauded ami admired by his people,
?rhe Justly loolt upon him us the noblest sped*
| men of their race. Before closing Gall said :
How long are you going to keep us here! Our
* crops are being ruined, and we we>uld like to know
who u going to pay for them. We will stay here as \
long as you want us ru. and wc demand that whoever
I comet out alive shall g**t pay for our loss. I will
i never sign either paper.
It will seem from this that a great imnie nt
i " freeze-out" is now being played at the airenoy
and ihat the Indians nra getting rh.- best of it.
They are feeding ai the Government's szpsaaa
, They arc will organised .'mel remain as steadfast
: as ar army of disciplined soldiers, while the Com?
mission is using every effort and device to break
tlidr stubborn resolution. Gall ended his speech
by shaking hands with ench of the Cominis**ioners,
meaning tlmt hs desired to say good-bye.
When Gull hud closed, Sitting Bull spoke, but
I not to the Commissioners. He turns his back
, ta the Commissioners and speaks to the Indians.
. He asked the oratorical '-Liefs why they didn't
j tell the Commissioners what the Indian* had mid
and sro home. lie thought the mutter ought to ,
| be settled at once. He wns becoming weary and '
! was beginning to think That the chiefs were losing i
I their good sense. If the Indians had said they
, would never si^n ami had taken an oath te the
I Great Father, he eould see no sense in further
' delay.
Chairman Pratt spoke plainly to the indians
. and used Ids old tactics of denouncing the policy nf
| having ene or two chi i's speak for the satin
tribe. Hs said Gall, John Cress Mad Hear and
: thc other chiefs would not be iK-rmit'ed to prevent
| Bay other In lim from signing SiiCnr Bull, in
ons of his speeches to the -adiana, advised them
to be Clim and moderate, and not to show anger
at anything the Commissioners might say. The J
perfection with which the Indians are organized
nnd the in,mtier in which their leaders are holding
tin- f,,re, s together an* surprising, It is evident
thal they hare beet discus-tins the question for '
? -. anil rhar they -.vere well prepared to m.-et
the Commissioners. They trill answer n-e ques
? ? to have their own reporters, who
have been taking notes iii.ring the conference, p ad
sny pori of thc propoa ti treal
missioners. They have them rend in their private
,1, when they can discuss the subject without

Cotaissioneni has *. the Indians that they
