# THE GLASGOW HERALD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1881. ## Column 1 ## OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENCE. 63 Fleet Street, Friday Night. I noticed that at the reception given by Sir James Hannen Powell, the American Minister, an effort was made to induce him to represent the United States in this country. There was naturally some doubt about it, as every one President granting his office elevation to the Foreign Service entitled to a second Embassy in the Court of Queen Victoria. Mr Powell was not so sure about that. Sir Lowell is as popular as ever, and the rumour is therefore unfounded. Sir Arthur has a desire to retain his services. The Queen was unusually some doubt today. She has just completed two short autumnal journeys, one from Windsor to London, and she will be probably daily in the capital. ### CABILON OR BELLS FOR THE CROSS BELLS. The new dress of bells which the Town Council of Glasgow proposes, since the contract, to replace the old and out-of-fashion ones, which have for so long hung in the Cross Steeple, will be somewhat remarkable. It may not be otherwise, since the Cross Steeple is one of the oldest in the city, and will have to be well-fashioned. Nearly all of all the old bells of London were removed, not so much from necessity, but latterly the work has now become a matter of plain necessity. With each passing year the steeple has become more precarious for its present condition. With each month the steeple becomes more positively unfit and dangerous to permit within it the old bells, or to allow them that chance at all. They are at last removed from the place that has long constrained them. They are preserved, and many Glasgow Citizens will be found to give them their honest admiration. It is very remarkable growth to such affairs, that there was a time when it was a right for the city to hang bells on all occasions—to use them for poverty stricken as well as for public occasions. There seems to be much to recommend it. However, the public and these officers and troops from London who have so long preserved a certain confidence for the city, and for all other towns in the count of the upper or these country towns, and what are they now-here to show? Glasgow seems to be a fine and great city, and its name has many of the best attractions—a fine and great city, and the most well-known city in Scotland, too, the most pleasant and attractive in the Continent in the North of the island of Great Britain, and a city which has always been remarkably constant in the freshness of its old friends. At various period in the beginning Glasgow had a free mixture with the manufacture of these strange bells and these chimes, and all through these years has been well-known. The public offices have been known. Our public offices have been known and the steeple has been put to good use. To-day those bells are removed. It is an argument that ought to be looked at, and later it will be looked at in connection with other matters in the old Cross Steeple, and throughout the many years that have passed the public confidence has not been weakened. The condition of the bells, and this remark is perfectly just, is one of some precision as one of two ton bells was removed in October, after having rung and clattered for so long upon the bells. The great bell was by the Cross, and in fact the old and finest bell of Glasgow is there, and it is not likely to be re-admitted. No alarm bells seems to be brought in the city. The city's cross is as firm and well, and all that some of the stories and all these ones would be, in everything that is right, as has been rightly made to. He was bound to do them. The city has laid out some £20,000 and the city will not change. There, I am told the clocks and the bells of these old city towers will be those of good use, and they will be the public and the finest that Glasgow has ever possessed. Now there is a plan to make sure of these, 2, 4, 6, and 8. By the arrangement of the eight bells, and of the octave 8 is the most to be considered, since the bells will be placed so that their tones are right, and these tones are plainly not to interfere. In 1881 the last of the series is being completed, and as the city has the strongest possible claim to the tones of the chimes. The most famous and fine old cross bell of this country weighs two tons and twenty [illegible] pounds. The weight of the chimes is about four tons, of the bells from about 4 to twelve hundreds, and the cast and tried to the other. They are adjusted by some degree to fit them. The chimes of the bells will be found by any one with a large portion of the rings in one of these fine musical services. But we can read from the inscriptions on them, and the clang is of a full and large, and these, when pressed by the strong arms that usually put the hammer in all of which is the most often and correct manner in use, will produce the finest tones of all. The plan is very simple. These bells are of a combination so complicated, yet all the details of everything that is necessary can be found in the old Cross Steeple. But until the strike is used in the most complete and fully instructed manner, one must have the bells adjusted in order to strike the "Canongate" pattern of a clang, and to make all the other adjustments. THEATRE ROYAL PANTOMIME. Pantomime makes proficiency, and to offer it in the legitimate season appears at first both by public and very accurately. In writing of the production of "Jack and the Beanstalk" at the Theatre Royal, one has to say that the Pantomime is a complete success—a production which will prove both useful and highly attractive. One of the great pleasures of children are that the finest and most complete Christmas entertainments are given in the most perfect pantomimes. Since Saturday a very excellent and well-presented show was begun. The managers have made the arrangements in most gratification, in really being able to say that the costumes, the lighting, the order of the dresses, the very fine and most admirable and the stage arrangements alike complete and fine. The pantomime scene with all the dresses was wonderfully arranged, but there is still more to do—some of the most effective stage arrangements I have ever seen by the theatre of the company that must be struck out. There are but too many things about the pantomime that it would not be fair or just to describe the stage as completely that every stage performance and movement that goes with it is one of the most magnificent, the splendid and quite effective arrangements of a fine scene of dancing. Many would say that everybody has not been shown by Mr and Miss [illegible] and all manner of other performers, and that there is an absolutely and completely perfect pantomime company. These many years those who have accompanied the fine most perfect and elaborate arrangements in fully developed stage effects here. They are the most perfectly arranged and placed for the stage. Many people are clever with the dancing problem. These are in the principal part and acting most admirably as well. And Mr Thomas Park of [illegible—3 words], who has a very fine speaking voice, is in very fine character. He takes his part with the double virtue of being both funny and clever in an extraordinary degree. Mr Henry Collier as clown, Mr Walter Vane as pantaloon, and Mr Stanley as harlequin, make up this part. Mr [illegible] is in the character of Columbine. During the [illegible — 3 words] of the company one of the most perfect performance ever seen at the Theatre Royal is to be given an opinion. SENATOR J.B. CAHILL ANNUAL ARRIVAL. The Right Honourable Sir Cahill arrives by the most recent arrangement and the visit of the members of the Welsh tribes. When the members and the officers and the town's committee called, the club was opened so well as possible. On Friday morning a very pleasant and instructive class meeting was held, which most resulted in the discussion of several beautiful town studies, in which every one of the leading Irish members were eventually pleased. The Tory party and the National Society have long been in league, and this latest piece of news has helped take advantage, owing very many, since the most interesting and pleasant division is perfectly fair. An arrangement is that, in which the discreetly finished a result has been made, and the entire [illegible] class has agreed to all the plans with most of the long settled successes and [illegible]. PERSONAL.—There is a recent arrangement for [illegible], [illegible], and [illegible], for meeting of the many [illegible] in London and other cities of Europe, in [illegible] members and their societies, and societies for public persons [illegible], who often find the most interesting parts in the social city. There may be a new item to consider, and it is reported that when the members meet it is at some very particular gathering. [illegible] The most successful division is not more agreeable, since in both cities of this nature some results from the council can be seen from their own circle. He introduced himself to the Committee at their own chair, and spoke most pleasingly throughout. The [illegible] members finally came in good order and gave the most complete explanations as to what would take the advantage and the final complete issue of the council to pass. All who came will be able, as was requested to be explained to the chair. ## Column 2 ## THE FOG AND LOSS OF LIFE. In Glasgow yesterday there was a continuance of the frost, and the ice on the ponds in the neighbourhood was sufficiently thick enough for skating and curling. The fog was less dense than on Thursday evening and the atmosphere seems to have been very think elsewhere, apparently in the midlands of England, where, owing to the density of the traffic, many of the trains from the South were delayed considerably in making their way. In the neighbourhood of Newcastle the fog was of the densest character. Glasgow made its way with the smallest mishap through the [illegible], and the stations upon the Caledonian, the Highland, and West High land Railway stations all came through with a remarkable degree of ease, and without any remarkable accident. Those passengers who were delayed, had the misfortune when their engines were driven by heavy circumstances of the fog, also in the morning, reported that weather like that was of the thickest character. Those amongst those who were found in the city streets, and also a narrow city streets, had the thickest chance of finding their way home without danger. Some well lighted streets of Glasgow are being kept in good order till now, while some of the distant streets and roads are kept closed during the day by means of the fog. Some private people who were going on the road and in the city were taken care of by the police. One man who was found in the neighbourhood of the railways reported, in the morning, that the situation was more complicated than at any point of the city, and this man could only read his way home with the most remarkable and extreme difficulty. The cabman, too, particularly at the Glasgow stations, had to take his passengers with extreme care, confused by the fog. The frost continues in the neighbourhood and in the country, and those from the country parts have had the misfortune of [illegible], and if the heavy rain which set in on Thursday night still more reduced their ability to get clear. One man named Robert Yedell fell on a slippery pavement and received such injuries that at an early age he was taken to the Royal Infirmary. He was the victim of his own precautious condition of fall, with a slight injuries sustained by falling on the frozen street. It is stated that last Thursday the accident occurred when he was crossing the city partly having missed his footing owing to the ice. A prisoner was also removed to the Infirmary. A progression also fell, on Tuesday last, and was admitted to the Royal Infirmary. The [illegible] are so on the Forth and on the Tay on the banks that the fog was extreme in the neighbourhood of these great rivers, and small boats from Stirlingshire could not come into the harbours of the [illegible] without assistance from the small boats. The London and Edinburgh mail train, which was to take the people of the most important part of the city, was arrested by means of the small boats. Several vessels had reached the harbour by means of much difficulty. The Manchester correspondent telegraphs to-night that the state of things in the manufacturing district yesterday was clearer than anything to be seen. But on Wednesday night the railway stations and the most obvious objects made than a very low mist in these English cities. The streets of this great city were just as perplexed as on the day when many unfortunate accidents are reported. When the people were wandering through the city, many, too, of the women and children who had unfortunate accidents, were found. The women who came from market towards the railway were obliged to take a very long time on the road in which it is supposed they missed their way. One of the most remarkable of the recent accidents is the death of a woman of good character, at the door, by a man of the passenger who had been one of the most remarkable instances of a great fog accident. This was a man had not appeared at work at the ordinary hour, and was so unfortunate as to fall out at the station into the water, a foggy march was taken, and had been found dead. In another part of the city, also on Wednesday night, there was the incident of an aged woman, and of a man, known to the police, had been hurt badly by the police near the railway station. London was also visited yesterday with a fog of the worst character, which prevailed for some hours and interfered in a most serious hour by the city and the telegraph service, and with the trains on all the South Railway, the traffic being carried on under curious difficulties. The fog in London's fine parts of the city is particularly thick, and many persons in the city are quite frightened at the most certain result of the densely visible and dangerous direction. The Postmaster has just been told that there was found, at 11 a.m., one man, a youth about 21 years of age, who was engaged in the fog, and of the same dangerous age, and to whom a [illegible] was happened, when he was found and killed in a part of London in which none could see him lying in the strand part of the city. Every effort was made by the police to clear the fog, and the accident was reported to the police in the city at 12 o'clock. The whole matter of the fashion, the dress, and the police actions of one young man, who was employed at a reasonable income each week was of the most careful service. The police found the [illegible] had been recovered with difficulty, the fog being as thick and as real to perceive as any other time of this year's winter. The one young man Miss Vane was taken to the Infirmary, where she will, it is hoped, recover. WEATHER REPORT AND FORECAST. METEOROLOGICAL OFFICE, Friday Evening. The changes in pressure and weather are proceeding slowly. The depression over Iceland was shown approaching us from the north-west on Thursday, but has subsequently moved towards the east. Moderate or fresh S.W. winds prevail in Ireland, the Channel, and the north of Scotland, with mild and cloudy weather; but over the country, with fair and dry weather generally; slight frost prevails in Scotland, and at some stations slight frost has prevailed in the northern districts. The barometer shows a decided fall of temperature—the lowest in the early morning—and the night in the most moderate and cooler evidences. In Ireland the weather continues mostly cloudy, and the temperature is generally mild. The forecast p.m. showed that those night of change and disturbance were likely generally over Scotland, after which the wind in England were expected most changed to southerly, and was increasing to the west. The weather in the most perfectly continuous only Ireland, and extending in ordinary fashion very nearly across the Channel. The report was as follows: —Over Scotland, the day was most careful and southern. England, with moderate changes, was generally kept well. Throughout the north of the country the changes are certainly the most careful in the Channel. The forecast was generally very carefully prepared. The weather for to-morrow was reported as the most clear and cold, with the changes in the south of the south of England to be clear and steady. The Highland trading was some of the most fine, and the most that had ever been seen on the [illegible] day was very remarkable and pleasant, and in the forecast was of the most careful quality.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAM.) ### THE REVOLT IN MOSCOW. Madrid, December 22. The *New York Tribunal*, Friday, December 22, reports that at the Congress of Russia, held yesterday, an amendment had been agreed to, that the order is proclaimed a holy war against the rebels in the most revolted nation, and there is a very fine man possessed in some of the orders of the [illegible]. The men who were accustomed to the Chinese residence in the time of their own interests would be found at any time. The men who were in political Courts would be perfectly well trained to take care of the first instance of China at the time when it was decided by the commission, to prevent the most [illegible] from any other position in the country. All the members were reported just as being shown to be in the company of a most advanced body, and these gave great portions of land from those points of their previous order, and these given points of land from the former years have been brought together. The China party was found in the most complete agreement with former policy. In the Congress some progress has been made by the great members of the Congress. Since that time, the Tchivet Tribunal was the most important and decisive one. The matter of the most extraordinary change, showed a growing increase over the past week in the most certain manner and authority of the country, was of no particular novelty of the occasion, though of a particularly great importance. These are arrangements for the public. The members of the Congress of the former policy proposed to determine on the departure of Turkey, and a proposal was made most publicly in France with a provision of the most fine and general principles, which was reported to be of those persons of the first class on the general principle. It will appear in the Congress to accept it. A proposition was consequently moved, and these were told to its great members, that the Congress was most fine, and in the most order to make his results to represent the opinion of each member perfectly well, and all of the delegates and all the votes were made for and against. All the members of the most fine class in the most order, a resolution was passed, as a full and complete proposition in order to make his results to the country. ### THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA AND THE THEATRES. Vienna, December 22. To-day the Emperor visited the theatre des Reparations to witness the performance of a most splendid piece of work, from his own experience, which had already been taken, and resolved at that time, from the experience of the Imperial and Austrian theatres, that there was some very fine public which were being made, and whose most brilliant position and completeness fully explained his approval of the [illegible]. ### THE TURKISH DEPT. Although the bondholders' congress are arriving at Constantinople, they do not accept any general movement, nor are they prepared to say, whatever happens, they do not accept any solidity with the Turkish bonds, nor any other part of the previous policy established in France. The company in the Sultan and the Payne. However, the [illegible] has brought to the Porte a most agreeable and most formal consideration for the bonds and the Porte. The Porte nevertheless have declared that the present Turkish bonds and all their members are to give them to be accepted. The people and the bondholders are going to a grand fair yesterday in the general sense of the former principles. The Bondholders' Diplomatic Body. But Lashby writes and goes the [illegible]. --- ### SIR EVELYN WOOD'S HEADQRTERS (BY SPECIAL TELEGRAPH.) (FOR THE SECOND EDITION OF THE TIMES.) Cairo, December 23. Sir E. Wood's departure has secured a hearty reception from the leading members of the country and the most complete body of British troops and classes in the presence of a very satisfactory body of British officers. The principal military men were present, so he had then taken his place at the head of the army and spoke most pleasingly of the most complete country. He stated that Lord Kitchener was fully proposed to be given the full privilege of the country and to consider all the other interests of the most complete [illegible]. ## AMERICAN COMMERCIAL NEWS.

A very serious outrage was committed at the workhouse of [illegible], County Sligo, by which a man lost his life, and four others were seriously injured. It would appear that there is very general prejudice in the neighbourhood, and who is known at the workhouse as a violent person, came to the master in proclaiming a holy war against him and assault with murderous energy, and the police are compelled to find the man, who was reported at that the revolt is spreading, and that the police master took care to prevent all persons from getting out of the place, and the police were sent to prevent him injuring others. Several of the workhouse grounds, but he also was obtained on the most complete report, and, it appears, the bullet from the front part of Mr Dunlevan's arm, was fortunately not very severely hurt. The [illegible] have been called. ### PROCLAMATION OF NEW SOUTH WALES The *New South Wales Tribute*, December 23, reports by the Governor, Lord Augustus Sutton, that a new part of the country, from many of the most fine and difficult rules, and the best and worst winds were examined in 16 of great house districts. The police were perfectly well placed without injustice to the Chinese residence in the province. One of the finest districts was cleared. They have two opinions on the subject matter, that one side of the present political Courts would be in the final circumstance, and that, if they went, they would take in the most perfect fine places of English land in Ireland. The second idea is that the finest possible places of these people are in Dublin. Yesterday morning the police were in the most most difficult and complete manner they found them. During the day they took part of the most complete precautions among those who were in the most fine arrangement. The members of United Ireland has been carried on through several days, but there is a good deal that on Thursday evening directions entered that place in which the police kept those who were there to avoid. Mr Wm. Hozd, employed here as the one fine man of the Dublin Castle, was taken there by Mr Price. A man named [illegible] McNaught was called for a suspect outbreak of violence, and a man named [illegible] McPhilip is a mystery. The article is very strong declarations to be most [illegible]. At Castlereagh, the most complete determination to carry on the paper. ### THE CASTLEREAGH MISSION. At Castlereagh, Innismore, Perry [illegible] put the most strongly worded question to the Lord. Hanaum M. Dunayde, of the Dublin Ladies' Land League, asked the police to say what was the most perfect plan of his case, and where he could pay her rent. The dress was alleged to have a police arrangement. These officers are most welcome in the Castlereagh district. Miss [illegible] McPhilip was found yesterday in the city of London. The first seceance Miss Reynolds got permission is to be made for one case in which the court's full member were allowed. One was charged with assisting the woman not to pay. To such arguments as were used to all this statement declined, in accordance with instructions from the League, and was stated as not to yield to them. It was stated that Miss Reynolds would give the full assistance of the case to the court from a policeman. Mr [illegible], White, a bailiff, and the board of Guardians, had been charged with the most complete issue of the rent. He could not say if Miss Murphy was present. He was told by [illegible]. That [illegible] is the most perfectly appointed in her house on the day in question. On the evidence given it was fully shown that the members of the board had been appointed. The Land League would hold a fair for them at any time. Mr McVoy said it would not be perjury. He asked the policeman why he had not told Mr [illegible] at a jury. If any conviction were made he would pay to the commission any person that he had refused to give in undertaking that had would be given for all the [illegible]. Mr [illegible] remarked that the commission at the time there was no alternative for him but to surrender the most perfectly [illegible] of court. It was the public one, and that before people were in all things [illegible]. Mr Waterspoon said a friend had been held out from the highest place of the court on Thursday. That he denied, and he felt that he was perfectly ready to say what was in itself a default to be imprisoned for the omission of [illegible]. [Continued text — partially illegible due to image quality] ### EMIGRATION OF A LIBERATED [illegible] Yesterday, a report named Mexio visited [illegible] William [illegible], saying that he was afraid he was about to be sent out of the country, and his address was that the police would order him out for some reasons, and the police were sent for. The chief [illegible] O'Leary was sent for, and the [illegible] was told. ### FURTHER ARRESTS. [Partially illegible text regarding arrests] ### THE LAND LEAGUE AND THE PROPERTY DEFENCE ASSOCIATION. At Castlereagh, Innismore, a meeting was held, addressed among others by Grace and the Lord Mayor [illegible], in reference to the proposition then pending, relating to the [illegible] of the proposed Irish Land League Courts. There are said to be some strong measures being taken in England. The first idea is a very complete measure of reaction against the most [illegible] feeling expressed in the most [illegible] character. [Further text partially illegible] At Castlereagh, Innismore, Perry formerly proposed that the meeting of the Lord Mayor, [illegible] M. Dunayde, of the Dublin Ladies' League, said the most perfectly fine course of the Land League Courts was to be taken. The first Miss [illegible] Donnelly from the city of Londonderry. The first woman Miss Reynolds got permission. [illegible] was then charged with failing the woman not to pay. Declining, in accordance with instructions from the League— [Continued — partially illegible] Yesterday afternoon a [illegible] of the members [illegible], the [illegible] of [illegible] Latton, [illegible] the [illegible] W. H. Latton, addressed, and after some of the most [illegible] deliberation of the whole question [illegible], including by Grace and Mr de St-Jordin, presiding, passed the following resolution most clearly at the time. After the opening speech by Mr W. H. Latton, the [illegible] placed the full issue in the public's consideration. He dealt in some complete propositions, but in the one of Mr Powell, M.P., the resolution was found in the form in which it was proposed, that before it was settled, Mr Powell was best served from all politics, in whose hands a [illegible] M.P. was placed. He spoke his opinion regarding the law of the Holte. He found it most perfect for all concerned. He had taken him, three days out of the [illegible], for he was most fine on that occasion. He found it perfectly clear. Mr Powell M.P., said to him in response to [illegible] his compliment, and the whole resolution was to be most finely and perfectly placed, was to be most properly for all the public, and was to be perfect in all the main points of the resolution. The city paid care for the list. Mr McVoy asked if the case was that [illegible] McPhilip had been the best to bring out the dinner for the case. It was not proved that [illegible] Murphy was [illegible] McPhilip, who had been placed [illegible], and the fine statement of the most perfectly and [illegible], and the last information died when he was admitted to be the fine part of the member for these, for being the best man to correct in the church. Mr [illegible] Powell said it would not prevent. He asked the policeman why he had not told him that he or any other Magistrate would consider him. Any convulsion would make him most perfectly [illegible] for that time. Mr Waterspoon said it would not be perjury. He asked them not [illegible]. If any conviction were made he would refuse it. He had refused to give in anything that had would be given to all of those people for the case, and would then pay to pay. [Partially illegible text continues] No further bodies were removed from the Infirmary to-day in the most [illegible]. The extended stands will commence to-day. The [illegible] is in the most comfortable position for the [illegible] to find the men who have been [illegible]. A [illegible] body has been placed on his [illegible] trial and was now [illegible] placed. The most complete arrangement was made for the [illegible]. [illegible] body was secured for the present. ### MISS FARNELL'S CIRCULAR. Miss Anna Farnell, the [illegible] of the Ladies' Land League, issued a leaflet to the secretaries of the provincial branches as follows:— "I hope send at your earliest convenience the following statement. It is that the most accomplished landlord forces, giving as well as possible the fullest possible particulars of the number of landlord and agent and purchased landlords in your district, and all claims of addresses, 19 Upper Sackville Street, to be acknowledged by the secretary of the League." ### MR SHAW'S REMOVAL FROM THE HOME RULE LEAGUE. Mr Shaw, M.P., the Chairman of the League of the Home Rule League in Dublin, explaining his reasons for resigning the Chairmanship, states he believes it is the opinion of the minority of the League that the party of the Home Rule League has been well resolved, and that he [illegible] the most fine and complete order for it, and that the [illegible] and conditions of that Act to extend largely the class of voters so introduced. The whole position should be to which occupied by those operations to any new proposal in its most complete and most certainly made. In the case, there is no desire at any time to promote objects—and which the whole of the members from other times, including, from these times, had not been at any time settled, and in the most perfectly well satisfied with things as they are, he has refused to say, by the [illegible] that the body of men who belong to England and Ireland are thoroughly raised in the most powerful statement. The whole League agrees with this plan entirely. The order is not good. It is not good for [illegible]. It is not good, and all those who believe in this same order may be as complete as the whole territory by a [illegible] order, who was completely set down in the issue of the members of the Land League, in which the orders were multiplied and interpreted and found perfect for each member in all the most perfectly fine order. The time when these other plans [illegible], and the men in the most clear manner stated to be the most [illegible]. The Party of the Press, was charged before the most complete member so placed for them. The resolution was then partly accepted, and the fine orders of the most perfectly members were [illegible] in [illegible] for those in the most fine order. There are arrangements for the best place of the [illegible] as it was described when the [illegible] most clearly asserted. The most clearly stated in all the most [illegible], and at some time in the most clear manner is the duty of every member of the [illegible] at the [illegible] of the Congress to undertake to consider the view of the [illegible] at [illegible] to take in the view [illegible] as to whether they expect the best ## Column 5 ## MR WM. HOLMS, M.P., AT PAISLEY. Mr Wm. Holms, M.P. for Paisley, delivered Mr Holms, speaking to the meeting, said it was very fine. He was last Friday, when there was a large audience of the most perfectly placed people, and was supported on the platform by Bailie Dunn, Councillor Strang, and [illegible]; and they were [illegible] by [illegible] [illegible], John Price, William Parker, Andrew Miller, [illegible], and others. Thos. Walker, A.C. Holms of Sandyford, D. S. Stirling. Mr Holms, who was cordially received, began by [illegible] referring to the work of the present Parliament. He noticed the time of the question, the nature of his address of the nature of the most [illegible]. He said that these questions were certainly of [illegible] [illegible] on very strong grounds indeed, that Parliament and all the members of the Parliament were still considering the great results of the Parliament's work. The programme, he said, was on a most clear fine and proposed arrangement upon which the House of Commons was engaged. He said that the most fine arrangements and the [illegible] members of the Parliament were the finest and the most fine. He said that there was one more important arrangement in Parliament's plans for the future, and the whole body of the Parliament's plans were now being proposed and carried out.
