Imperial Parliament.

Pbu Fress Association, London, February 10. The Ulster Protestants are appeals Ing for funds, stating their conviction that a fresh election may take place at any moment. Mr John Redmond wrote to the Irish Society in the United States ex pressing the opinion that there was no chance of the Borne B.uie Bill passing in the present House. The Pope has written to Mr Glad stone asking him to restore diplomatic relations, The amendment moved by Mr Red mond, demanding the release of all persons convicted under the Treason Felony Act, was rejected by 397 to 81. Mr Asquith, Home Secretary, refer ring to the amendment,. said the dynamitards were guilty of most heinous crimes, and they had never received from him different treatment to that meted out to other criminals. (Received February 11, J0.20 a.m.) London, February 10. In movinsr his amendment to the Address-in-Reply, Mr Redmond de manded the release of fourteen priso j nera who were convicted in connection | with dynamite outrages in Ireland, on the ground that they were political offenders whose guilt was doubtful, and even if guilty had been sufficiently punished. Mr Abquitb, Home Secretary, in re* plying stated that the terrible and reckless methods adopted by the dyna miters placed them without the pale of political prisoners, and the Government must at all risks refuse indulgence to such criminals. Mr Balfour, late Chief Secretary for Ireland, highly commended the courage of the Government. (Receivatt February 11, 10.50 a.m.) . London, February 10.

THE PANAMA CANAL SCANDAL.

[I'Elt PKKSS ASSOCIATION.] J^aris, February 10. The 'sentences in connection with the Panama Canal frauds have created a sensation in France. The Court held that fraud had been proved by mendacity associated with the loan issues, and declared that the Directors had constantly concealed the operations *>f underwriting. Tt"- syndicates were pronounced to be fictitious. Eiffel was acquitted of fraud, but convicted of breach of trust, inasmuch as he received 120,000,000 francs for works which it has been proved he hsd never .com pleted. Eiffel has yet to appear before the Court of Cassation. liouvier was acquitted because the court could not detect a connection between the cheque for 50,000 francs received from Valasto, Reinach'sagent, and his (Rouvier's) »rote on the Lottery Bill. M. Blowitz says that the sentences passed on Ferdinand de Lesseps and Fontaine are a piece of cruelty, and it was never shown that they were actuated by personal motive, and the judges inflicting the severe punishment were simply playing to the gallery. Ferdinand de Lesseps will probably fje pardoned. Received February 11, 10.50 p.m.) Paris, February 10. All tha Panama Company directors have given notice of appeal. The Paris papers protest against the infliction of the maximum penalty on the two De Lesseps, and clamour for the pardcnof M. Ferdinand, who they declare is imbecile arid unconscious of the meaning of the sentence.

A Railway Travellers Quarrel.

MR WRIGHT, M.H.R. FINED. At the Christahurch Resident Magis trate's Court yesterday, before Messrs H. S. Wardell, Esq., R.M., and 3. Connal, Esq , E. G. Wright was charged with assaulting J. Chynowetb, on Jan. Mr Kippenbersrer appeared for com plainant and Mr Joynt for defendant. John Chynoweth, Manager for Messrs Edwards, Bennstt and Co., Christchurcb, said that on January 28 he was travelling from Springston to Christchurch.- Got into the train at Rolleston junction. Witness had a small Gladstone bag in his right hand, and a rug in his left hand. Placed the bag at the door at the end of the carriage. Defendant was in the carriage, facing the door by which passengers entered Witness sat by the side of defendant, who ordered witness to move the bag into the guard's van. Witness said he had not time to remove thb bag into the guard's van> Defendant then removed the bag, and witness put it back again. Defendant kicked the bag violently. Witness said he did jjotwaut to have a "row," Defendant then struck witne/g two blows on tin face. Witness asked defendant for his card' and he replied that he had not got one.' The guard came into the carriage and' told witness that defendant was well-known in Christchurch. Witness told defendant that he would give him in charge when the train arrived at Christ church. Cross-examined: There were tour «entfemen in the carriage when witness - Ktered it at Rolleston Junction. There were several ladies in the carnage. Hie reason why witness would not remove his baa was because defendant spoke to witness in a very ungentlemanly manner. The bag did not cause any inconvenience to the lady sitting opposite to defendant. Did not unethe words, "Shut up, you silly old man," to defendant. Henry Wood said he was in the railway carriage, coming from Rolleston Junction on Saturday, January 28. Ihe com plainant and defendant were in the carriage, nitting next to each other. When complainant wens into the carriage he put his bag at the end of the passage, in front of defendant. Witness put his bug under the seat. Defendant objected to complainant putting hia bag in the r-arriaee Defendant picked up com plainant;s bag and » planked "it near the door. Saw defendant strike complainant : Complainant's bag was too large to go conveniently under the £* Complainant had a bundle of rugs, wMch ho put on top of the bags. A lady S sitK opposite to defendant, and the C would hive incommoded her. Com plainant's conduct in the carriage* was Srevokin*, and not conciliatory. Heard CpSant call delendant a « stup.d old man and tell him to " shut up ■ Mr Kippenberger called two ladies, but they did not appear. ' . . • •Kdward. Georjje Wright said h,e was in

the train coining to Christchurch from the Rolleston Junction on January 28. Com plainant got info the carriage at lldlleston and placed his l<aj» a»id imndle of rugs close to whore witness nr.d a lady were sitting. The bug and ru-^ gruatly incon venienced witness. Bequestud coroplain- I ant co " put that luggage in front of his own seat." Complainant said, "No ; what harm is it doing .tare V Witness then removed the bag and rugs. Cym plainant put the bag back again, and wit ness naked him to pub ifc under the seat. Complainant replied. " Shot up, you silly old man." Complainant's manner was very provoking aid insulting, and witness gave him two "'thumps " on the sids of tha head. Witness did not " floor " him. Cross-examined : Witness did not kick complainant's }>ag out of the carriage. Witness was irritated by complainant's action in putting his bag immediately in front of witness. The Bench, in giving judgment, said there was no doubt whatever that com plainant had broken the railway regula tions by putting his bag in the carriage. The practice was a very bad one, and the. guards should see that passengers con formed to the regulations. The assault was undoubtedly committed and defend ant would be fined 10s and Court costs. A crow action was withdrawn, com plainant in the first case being ordered to pay cosjs.—"Lyttelton Times."

Indigent Immigrants.

[PBR PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

I Oam aku, February 10. The following telegram was forwarded S>y the Hoii, S. E. Shrimski to the Premier:— '* To the Hon, the Premier, vVanganui, / —1 observe that you wired tj the Agent- General to assist in preventing Russian Jews coming to the cobnies. As suoh action is likely to create ill feeling and is begot ton of bigotry towards my co religionists, I challenge you to prove that the Jews would-make unworthy citizens of the colony. How many Jews are in receipt cf public charity ? How many are in the Industrial Scnocls ? How many are in the gaols of the colony?' tluw many of their deserted wives and I families are a burden on the State ? Sir —I am not a bit surprised at the action of the Liberal Labor Council, who are peculiarly s'Mtiah, but I am surprised ar, a Liberal Government, who are supposed to look upon all men as equal, irrespective of race or creed, urging their Agent- General to take such a narrow-minded and illiberal step. How many of the men arriving in the colony at the present time without means, will look to the Go vernment for assistance ? The Jews are a peaceable and law-abiding people all over the world, and the step you are urging is a direct insult to every one of that religion in the colony.—S..2J. Shrimski."
