Irish Home Rule._\u2014 pee THE NEW SCHEME FOR IRELAND.Conservatives and Parnellites Join Ilands.Loxpox, Aug.29\u2014Mr.Balfour's promise to bring in a bill for the endowment of an Irish Catholic university, coupled with Mr.Parnells immediate acceptance of the proposal, creates almost a panic amongst the Liberal leaders, who say this new departure of the Tory Government means the disruption of their party.It is certain Mr, Parnell bas reached some understanding with lord Salisbury\u2019s Government, and it is even stated that the Parnellites will support the Tory Premier in the election, in return for the concession which will practically amount to home rule, and a land law which will quite effectually throw the LANDLORDS IN IRELAND OVERBOARD, This change of front on the part ot Lord Salisbury is certain to lose him the support of the Ulster members, but he will probably carry with him all but a very few of the Conservative members and Unionists, while the addition to his forces of the solid Parnell contingent and of such Liberals as care far more for Home Rule than for the means of attaining it, will undoubtedly increase his voting strength materially, notwithstanding the DEFECTION OF THE PROTESTANT IRISHMEN and the few anti-Catholic Tories.All of the details of the agreement, entered into between Parnell and those whom he has of late so bitterly opposed, are mot as yet understood, and as a result there is no end ot speculation.The Liberal leaders held a meeting to-day, at which Sir William Vernon Harcourt made a speech congratulating the Liberal party on having successfully proselvtized the Tory Government.Few of his associates however shared Sir William\u2019s cheerfulness, and their joy at finding their own principles now supported by the Tories is not a little tempered by the certainty that this support will keep tiie Tories in power indefinitely and themselves out.NEGOTIATING FUR SOME TIME.LONDON, Aug.29.\u20141t is understood that the Government and the Catholic Hierarchy have been negotiating for a long time with reference to the proposed Catholic university in Ireland to be endowed by the State.Mr.Parnell was informed of the progress of these nego tiations and has known for some day that it was the intention of the Govern ment to take the course outlined by Mr Balfour, but the Ulster men, who are taken entirely by surprise, are furious.They assert that they were given aa- surances by the Government that there was no intention to sanction the Catholi- propo sals and now they find themselve grossly deserted they take no pains to conceal their rage and disgust, and are loud in their denunctions of the ministry.They will not, they say, continue to give their support to this \u201cPapist Government.\u201d UNCOMPLIMENTARY TO THE BISHOPS, DueuLIN, Aug.29.\u2014 United Ireland, in a leading editorial, informs the Radicals that the position of the Irish party; regarding the project for the endowment of a Catholic College, is the same as when it squelched the scheme for an underhand treaty with Rome, sought to be negotiated by Lord Salisbury and the Irish Unionist Bishops, who now stand realy TO SELL IRELAND TO RALFOUR for a mess of pottage, if they only had the country to sell.The Nationalists would welcome any effort to settle the Irish question made by Parliament above board, and would try to make it genuine.They fight for a great principle, which the Radicals also endorse.The question is one which should be solved by an Irish Parliament, but wanting that, the Nationalists must be content in the meantime to take what reform an English Parliament offers.ORANGE OPPOSITION BREWING.BELFAST, Aug.29.\u2014A crowded meeting of Protestants was held here to-night to protest against Mr.Balfour\u2019s latest proposal to endow a Catholic University in Ireland.Grand Master of the Orange- men, Kane, was among the speakers and he denounced the Government in unmeasured terms for its cowardly course.Hig language was most bitter in condemning the scheme and he declared Mr.Balfour\u2019s proposals would meet with determined opposition on the part of all Irish Protestants.ce THE GREAT LONDON STRIKE.Work men Hope for Sveedy Settlement.LONDON, Aug.29,\u2014There is practically no change in the situation this morning and the strike still continues.A mass meeting of the great army of unemployed was held to-day, which was attended by 4,000 strikers.Burns addressed the meeting, pred icting that the demands o the men would be acceded to to-day.Hoe said that all indications pointed to a victory for the strikers if they would remain firm and united.The warfingers have offered to employ the stockmen on crn | SUBSCRIPT«UN $ independent docks, but the proposition bas not heen accepted.The strike is affecting the northern coal trade, ONE PLAN REJECTED.The wharfingers to the Dock Companies ang the strikers have been discussing a plan for settlement of the question, which includes a proposal to make the American clauses in biils of ladinz JNOPÉrative, 80 far as concerned wharf- ingers and granery keepers.The Dock Companies decline to accept this solution, and are preparing à manifesto in which they will declare they will only pay tive pence an hour.TAILORS ORGANISING A STRIKE, Thousands of tailors who have been victims of the sweating system are rebelling and organizing a strike for payment at first hands.Over 2,000 tailors in London are expecting the word to drop their work, and when they go out they will deprive nearly twice that number of sewing women and other asslat- ants of their chances of a livelihood.Several failares in the Shipping trada arc reported and others are expected, MINERS OFFER A COMPROMISE, The 55,000 Welsh miners who have made a demand for a +0 p:r cent

the Governor- General visited the exhibition this afternoon.\u2014\u2014 CONVENTION OF AMERICAN SCIENTISTS.Discussion on Various Subjects.ToroxTo, aug.29.\u2014The attendance at the convention of American Scientists was largely increased to-day.It was called to order at ten o'clock by President Mendenhall, who announced that the membership had been increased by 167 since the covention opened in Toronto.The association separated into sections immediately afterwards.Several papers were read before each séc- tion, most of them of a deeply scientific nature.Those before the anthropological were perhaps of the most general interest and importance.In this section, J.McGee, of United States Geological Survey, Washington, read a paper on some principles of evidence relating to a THE ANTIQUITY OF MAX.He said that principles of evidence may be summarized in a series of propositions which it was his intention to discuss.The primary oppositions are : (1) It ig a fair presumption that any artificial object found on the surface is modern, (2) Lt is a fair presumption that any stone object of doubtful origin is natural, (3) It is a fair presumption that any unusual object found within an uncou- solidated deposit is an adventious inclusion.(4) It is a fair presumption that an isolated association is adventitious.(5) It is a fair supposition that an is- Congrous association is adventious.These presumptions may be outweighed by direct or coilatoral evidence, and indeed have go outweighed in all of those cases which prove a high antiquity for human kind, The more general propositions are (1) in inductive sense the value of evidence varies with its consistency and its communicative character; (2) inductive science the sufliciency of a given body of evidence varies immensely with the importance of the conclusion to which it leads.Prof.C.C.Abbott, of Trenton, N.J., has arranged to deliver a reply to the above paper at one of to-morrow\u2019s sessions of the authropolopical section.In he same section Mr.Harry W.Henshaw, read an interesting paper on \u2018the missions and MISSION INDIANS OF CALIFORNIA, from their inception down to their final breaking down, and giving the causes of the latter.\u201d Dr.Romyn Hitchcock read a paper on Shinto, the religion of the Japanese.He discussed the influence exercised by the belief on national character.The system began with three deities, formed spontaneously in space.Creator gods then appeared and gave birth to the Japanese religion.The lecturer related a few interesting myths bearing of the deistic conceptions of the country.The succession of ; ben Baby was aick, we gave her Castoria, | When sho was a Child, she cried for Castoris, | When she became Miss, she clang to Castoria, When a'ie had Children, ahe gave them Castoris, generations concluded with the birth of the first Mikado, who was a descendant of the sun.The native chronology went back 660 B.C., and mythology goes back about 10,000 years.No dates in Japan can be relied on further back than 900 A.D.Then the historic era began.Mr.W.Howes, of the U.S, Bureau of Ethnology, Washington, read a paper on the \u201cEvolution of (Jaament\u201d the American lesson.The evolution is a topic of interest to all men, American art furnishes a large number of data bearing on the subject which deserves very careful consideration.The paper only dwelt on the development of certain well know conventional designs.Two arts, the textile and the ceramic, are exclusively concerned.Elements of decoration enter these two acts in two great currents, one of whicn carries mechanical and the other graphic elements.When once within the realm of decoration these elements are subject to wsthetic and mechanical agencies.Mr Henry Montgomery read over a very interesting paper on the aboriginal mounds of North Dakota.The biological section to-day gent up to Victoria Park and searched for new specimens of flora.The entomological department

Co.'s mines is believed to be in sight.The men have, within the past few days, manifested a strong desire to return to work, and at times threatened to get beyond control of the leadera.At a mass meeting here yesterday, the men decided by a unanimous vote to accept the jc.reduction offered by the operators at the Chicago conference, provided the company would agree to allow three men to work in place of four, as formerly, and allow them other slight concessions.A conference with the Streator miners will be held to-day.-\u2014 THE RAILWAY ACCIDENTS NEAR HAMILTON, Examination by Railway Experts.HaAMiLTtoN, Ont, Aug.29.\u2014About twenty railway experts from St.Thomas, Boston, Chicago, and other places, were in the city yesterday to examine into the effects ot recent accidents on the Grand Trunk road and St.George and Junction Cut near this city.The experts went up to St.George and made an examination of the bridge there, and also examined the damaged rolling stock of the Junction Cut accident.They decided that the St.George accident was caused by a broken tire.In regard to the cause of the accident at Junction Cut they disagreed, but were all of opinion that it was caused by the breaking of some part of the engine.ce HIS FIGHTIETH BIRTHDAY.¢ The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table.\u201d BeverLy Farum, Ms., August 29.\u2014Oliver Wendell Holmes passed his 89th birthday

to-day and during the past two weeks has been most favorable for harvesting and in consequence nearly all the grain has been eut and over half stacked.In most districts threshing has commenced.The new wheat has been marketed at several points and is a splendid sample.In Morden district, where the crops suffered most from want of rain in time, it is now estimated the yield will be 25 bushels per acre.At Potage La Prairie 28 bushels per acre is a careful estimate.One farmer at the latter place from eleven bushels of wheat sown threshed 235 bushels, and many fields will yield from forty to fifty bushels per acre.Samples show that this seasons grain is by far the best ever grown in Manitoba, the berry being plump and color bright.Farmers and grain merchants throughout the province are well satisfied with the seasons crop both as regards yield and sample, and it is now thought that the total crops will exceed the estimate by one or two million bushels._\u2014\u2014\u2014 DANGERS OF

Chamber of Commerce some time age, met here to-day.The organizations represented were the San Francisco Produce * Exchange, Manufacturers\u2019 Association, Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade, State Board of Trade and the Los Aagelos, Santiago and the Fureka Chamber of Commerce.Several of the Californian representatives in Congress, were present.The committee appointed some time ago to prepare papers on various subjects, submitted their reports.The first was an encou- agement of maratime commerce and increased energy in the construction of the navy.Other American countries and the Australian Colonies would be glad to bave closer trade relations with the United States, if better transoortation.were provided.The law requiring vessels in tbe foreign trade to be built and owned in the U.8.before being registerel should be repealed.Congress should adopt measures to secure a fair portion of the word's commerce, remunerative employment for the people, and perfec: security from foreign aggressio.The next report was on the Nicarau- guan Canal.It urges the speedy completion of the canal and exclusion of foreigners from any control thereof.Federal aid should be extended if necessary.The report on the defence of the Pacific parts, declares that the present defences are a reproach to the country and the coast would be at the mercy of any foreign Power.The report on ocean mail lines recites that the three Canadian Pacific steamers running from Vancouver to China and Japan are subsidized to the extent of nearly $138,000 each per round trip, while the eight steamers of the two Am - erican Companies running from San Francisco are allowed $400 each per round trip.The report declares tnat these facts are enough to condemn the parsimony of our Government and to excite admiration for the liberal policy of England and Canada.Other similar facts are cited, and a ra- solution is submitted calling on Con gress to adequately subsidize lines to China, Japan, South America, New Zea- land, Australia, Mexico, Central America and British Columbia.Also to grant bounties for ship construction.All the reports and resolutions were referred to the committees.+ WEATHER

the betting ruled at evens.The strangers present were on Rocket to a man, whilst the local men who knew Factory Boy replied with vigor and dollars, The pair went away to a capital start and raced down the stretch for one hun dred yards dead level.Rocket was then sent to capture the pole and at the bend succeeded in doing so.Factory Boy's driver, however, was not in the least disturbed and allowed bis horse to trail along behind Rocket until half way up the back stretch, when he woke the light- grey up and quickly got up to Rocket's girths.The latter responded at a lively gait and at the half mile post was two lengths in front.No change took place between the pair until rounding the bend leading to the home stretch, when \u201cold man\u2019 Taylor, a8 of yore, sent Factory Boy along for all he was worth, and on entering the stretch he was only a length behind Rocket.When well straightened out, the pair, as if propelled by one motive power, simultaneously put on a terrific burst of speed, going along at a two-twenty clip, with Rocket in the lead.On they came until within one hundred and fifty yards from the wire, when Factory Boy got in his bad behaviour and lifted his feet, but the \u201cold man\u201d was equal to the occasion and quickly got him settled down.A few yards nearer the wire the pace proved too fast for Rocket and he got oif his feet, but was quickly checked.Factory Boy had taken advantage of it and passed under the wire a winner by two lengths.The result was received with great enthusiasm and on Taylor returning to weigh in he, as well as the horse, received a perfect ovation.There was no perceptible difference in the time given by the judges and that taken by the special clockers on the track, and, as will be seen, only in one instance did they differ throughout the afternoon, being in marked contrast to the irregularities which existed on two previous days.Following is a summary : FIRST RACE\u20142.35 CLASS, the 502111 5131322 12033533 3 3 4 4 3 KRtd Minnie Moore.«+ 2 4 55 4 Rd Time\u20142.20}, 2.29%, 2.20%, 2.30, 2.30, 2.303, 2.31.SECOND RACE\u2014FREE FOR ALL.Factory Bov.ccosesassace anne 34 211 CELL.sesss ne s0n0000 13 122 W Van.\u2026.
