Prolonged cbeering followed from tho Irfcli and Ministerial benches. Leonard Courtney (Unionist) then moved the rejection of the Bill. Ho spoko briefly. John Redmond, leader of tho Farnellites, who followed. Courtney, defined his attitude toward tho Bill. The Bill was defective in some respects, and diajppointing in others. Nobody in hist ponses could regard tho Bill as a final and satisfactory settlement of the groat question at 88110. The National Federation issued a cir cular, September l'2th, -against the House of Lords. In this circular the federation declares that coven years of discussion and eighty-two day 3 sf consideration by the House of Common?, definitely ascertained the wishes of 2,000,000 of electors, yet this counts for nothing whon opposed to tho views of 100 Conservative peers. Continuing, the Circular declares the mending of the House of Lords is now in the front rank of the Liberal programme, in accordance with Gladstone's declaration at Newcastle. The Circular concludes that as the Home Rule Bill passed theHouse of Commons and was rejectod by the House of Lords it i 9 doubly certain to become a law. It also says that nob only will tho Irish question be settled, but that the real era of reform is dawning for tho democracy of tho United Kingdom. OVER THE FALLS OF NIAGARA. There is considerable interest in Buffalo, New York, in tho proposed attempt by Stanley Matthews, of Cincinnati, to jjo over tho brink of Niagara Falls in a barrol ol peculiar construction. It is believed fat the attompb will be made about the middle of September. The barrel is conical in shape and made of hard wood four inches thick. This is bound with iron hoops set close together. Over all tho torrel ie a sheath of pure rubber six inches in thickness. This is an element of safety which has nM been used in trips over tho great cataradt heretofore. Matthews will oe safe from actual physical danger during the trip, but there is a possibility of tho "hock of that 169-foot fall killing him. AMERICAN ITEMS. Now that the Chinese have in a grea^ measure been deported from tho southern counties, of California, hundreds of tramps «re coming in thoro from the eastern statos pretending to look for work. The city of Los Angelos is literally in their possession, and we resideuta have come to the conclusion Mb a Chinese workor is after all bettor 'nan an idle and vicious white tramp.
