The House adjourned on Thursday for the Whitsuntide recess. The members will reassemble on May 23 rd. IRELAND AND THE BILL. The Globe learns from Dublin that the peculiar character of the Irish Council Bill has given rise to a good deal of comment among those who are “behind the scenes,” or, to be more exact, those who consider that their sources of political in formation are exclusive. The more the Bill is examined the more apparent one fact becomes—it is not a Home Rule measure, or one of the pure bred devolution type. It is a patchwork; a strange medley of proposing to “govern Ireland according to Irish ideas” in one clause, and in some other clause of rivetting anew upon the country “the fetters” of English rule. It is customary for a British Minister who has his heart in his work, and who is given a reasonably free hand by his colleagues, to take a definite line. He keeps his objective steadily before his eyes, and the measure of which he has charge is drafted with the sole object of reaching his end as expeditiously as possible. The Chief Secretary’s measure does not fulfil this qualification. Mr. Birrell, to use an Irish phrase, has “havered.” He appears to have been torn by conflicting emo tions, to have been divided between the desire to go the whole way with Mr. John Redmond to the goal of the “Freely elected Parliament, with an executive responsible to it,” and the fear of certain consequences if he indulged himself to the top of his bent. What was it that caused Mr. Birrell to associate himself with proposals upon which Nationalists, from the Cardinal Primate of Armagh down to the humblest village politician, are pouring scorn and derision? At one period two measures relating to the “better government of Ireland” were in existence. The Chief Secretary’s Bill was a “whole hogger” in the matter of Home Rule. The Bill of the Under secretary ran on the lines of the co-ordination of certain Government Departments, and the grant of certain powers in the region of finance. Sir Antony Mac Donnell, it is understood, in timated that if his measure were thrown over he 'vould resign, a polite way upon the part of the Under-Secretary of saying that he was opposed, at the present stage, at least, to Home Rule pure and simple. Sir Antony Mac Donnell’s action, one gathers, served to put heart into the Liberal Im perialist members of the Cabinet, and they found their voices. The Chief Secretary had no option but to accept the situation. It was almost the eve °f the introduction of the measure, which he had calculated with confidence would close the chapter °f Irish enmity towards England, even though England’s staunch supporters in Ireland were trodden to the ground in the process. What could Mr. Birrell do but what apparently has been done? The Under-Secretary’s Bill was taken in hand and subjected to drastic revision, not necessarily to im prove it, bien entendu. Meantime, the Royal Irish Constabulary and the Dublin Metropolitan Police r cinain under the control of the Crown, and all that the Irish Council Bill has effected is the pro motion in Nationalist ranks of a positive suspicion °f Mr. John Redmond and Mr. T. P. O’Connor. SEDITION IN INDIA. The proprietor and publisher of the Bombay ‘Indian Home Ruler” has been sentenced to a gear’s imprisonment for publishing a seditious ar ticle. Already in last October criminal proceedings ' Ve re taken against him on a similar charge and ae had to find a six month’s security for his good behaviour. In February he published the objectionable ar ticle for the second time, and has in consequence deceived the above-named sentence.

Sir Eldon Gorst, Lord Cromer’s successor, handed his credentials to the Khedive on Thursday, and expressed at the same time his confidence that he would be given every assistance for making his office easier. The Khedive replied that he was delighted with the King’s choice in which he saw a fresh proof of His Majesty’s desire to draw yet closer the friendly ties between England and Egypt. Sir Eldon could rely on his loyal support. LABOUR TROUBLES ON THE RAND. Serious disturbances took place at Johannes burg on Thursday, the miners on strike being in censed at the arrival from Pretoria of miners who do not belong to the Miners’ Union. The strikers pursued with volleys of stones a group of “black legs” who were about to descend a mine, and attacked the quarters of those miners who have continued to work. At another mine the miners showed fight and chased away their assailants; one shot was fired. At a third mine the strikers threw stones at the men who were working. The Mining Companies fear a general strike is im minent. NEWS FROM AMERICA. THE ANTI-TRUST CAMPAIGN. The Chicago-Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway Company have pleaded guilty before the Federal Court of having granted freight rebates on coffee consignments and have been condemned to pay 20,000 dollars fine. THE DEBT OF COSTA RICA. Mr. Carden, the British Minister to Costa Rica, has, according to advices received in New York, given the Government two weeks in which to pay the debt owing to Great Britain. The original amount was two million pounds, but it is fourteen years overdue, and with interest the sum now owing is £4,200,000. Great Britain threatens to send a warship if her demands are not complied with, and in view of the disturbed condition of the country a revolution is feared. No serious interest attaches in New York to this reported action of the British Government. It has been threatened on and off for years past and something has always happened to prevent the landing of Bluejackets, or other overt action on the part of the importunate creditor. Money is undeniably due. Costa Rica scarcely disputes the fact, merely questioning particular items of the old account, and suavely hinting at arbitration when the British Minister becomes too pressing, as apparently is the case at the present moment. THE FRENCH CABINET AND MOROCCO. A Cabinet Council was held on Thursday in Paris at which M. Pichon reported that he had re ceived news by cable from M. Regnault, the French envoy in Morocco, that he had received a Note from the Moroccan Foreign Minister, Abdelkrim ben Sliman, and that it might be regarded as satis factory with reference to the French demands touching the murder of Dr. Mauchamp. A copy of the Note was en route, so that immediately upon its arrival the Cabinet could examine its textual Contents. NEWS FROM RUSSIA. THE REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT. For some days rumours have been current in St. Petersburg that a conspiracy against the Czar has been discovered in Czarskoje Selo. The con spiracy came to the light owing to the arrest of a soldier who was living in a noticeably expensive way; the man has confessed that he had received money from Revolutionaries and Social Democrats and was to make an attempt on the life of the Czar. On Wednesday evening serious fighting took place at Ekaterinoslav between the police and anarchists who had barricaded themselves in a house. Two policemen were killed and a watchman wounded. On Thursday morning the fighting was renewed and when the police had succeeded in forcing their way into the house they found on the floor the body of an unknown man, with a bullet wound in the temple; he had been the most vigorous of their assailants. THE MOROCCAN CRISIS. The members of the English colony who left Marakesh on the 9 th, arrived at Safi on the 12th. The journey was made by them without any mis hap. The French, six in number, left Marakesh the following day; their arrival is being expected hourly. The members of the English colony report that the Germans are also on the way. The report that Raisuli is with the Pretender is incorrect; he has returned to the Marabout Abdel Salem of the Beni Arrona tribe. A BERLIN BANK THIEF. The firm of coal merchants, Messrs. Laupenmiiller and Co. of Berlin have recently suffered a loss to the tune of 50,000 marks through the embezzle ment of a cheque. The criminal has been identi fied as a man by name Neumann, employed by the firm to write addresses. He has not yet been ar rested, but is known to have been in Berlin in the early part of the week, for on Monday he sent to the proprietress of a laundry where his fiancee was employed a letter begging her to inform the latter that, owing to circumstances over which he had no control, he had got into a tight place from which he couldn’t extricate himself. He regretted not having told her the truth before, and now took final leave of her. It had transpired that, although Neumann had a fair income, he busied himself also, after the fashion of old time criminals, with the manufacture of forged references known as “stumers.” Armed with these references, he was easily able to obtain a good situation, and there is no doubt that he made ready for his great coup by means of forged papers. He seems to be a ready knave of much resource, for the prison authorities of Tegel make the somewhat surprising announcement that a representative of Neumann’s has been sitting under lock and key since the day before Ascension Day. It appears that Neumann was sentenced to a month’s imprisonment some few weeks ago for an attack on a little girl, and was to report him self at the prison on Wednesday in last week. Instead of appearing, however, he sent a represen tative, whose identity has not been established. Neumann has long been on friendly terms with the criminal world, and it appears that his convenient alter ego received 600 marks for his services. PROFITABLE BETTING. There can be no doubt that the action of the French Ministry in suppressing betting on race courses in any other way than by the parimutuel, has been amply justified by results. During the four months of the present year the receipts have amounted to the enormous total of £ 4,040,000. Im pressive as the total seems, it is even more significant by comparison with the same period of last year. This shows an increase during the four months of £640,000. Out of these large takings the percentage falling to the relief of the poor and for the hospitals should also be large. A TYROLESE BANDIT. Switzerland is just now talking about a brigand who, in some respects, appears to be quite worthy of being enrolled among some of the Sicilian masters of the profession. He is a native of Can ton Ticino, named Marco Ranzoni, for whom so far it has not been found practicable to find a gaol that will hold him. Imprisoned some years ago at Prayerne, in the Canton Vaud, he simply burned down the door of his cell and escaped in the smoke and confusion. It has taken years to recapture him, but he was recently caged a second time—in the Friburg Canton, but he has emerged free once more. This time he tore up the flooring of his cell and let himself down through it by his bedd ing.
