The Costa Rica Packet.

London, August 18 In the House of Commons to-day the attitude of the Dutch Government regarding the claim for compensation by the officers of the Costa Rica Packet, of Sydney, came up for con sideration. Sir Charles Dilke ex pressed the opinion that the Imperial Government should not delay m en forcing the demands of Captain Carpenter, and should inform the Dutch Government that the matter, •which has been standing over for some time, should be settled without delay. The Government should, he thought, not be trifled with, and a sharp and stern demand should be made for immediate payment. Sir B. Grey, Parliamentary Secre tary for the Foreign Department, replied that the Government had made a moderate demand to the Dutch Government ; and this it was thought would have been quickly complied with. The Dutch Government, how ever, instead of meeting the sug gestions, proposed that arbitration should be resorted to. The proposal required very careful weighing, from the principle involved. The advice of the law officers would be taken, and the question could not long be delayed. Referring to the Costa Rica inci dent, the "St James' Gazette" con siders that Lord Rosebery has not taken a sufficiently firm stand or dis played an attitude that would provF. to the colonists that a direct insult to the British flag would be quickly resented.

IMPERIAL POLITICS

London, August 19. The Chief Secretary for Ireland states that the Government will deal with the evicted tenants next session. The " Daily News " asserts that part of a large scheme is a revision of the judicial rents, and that the English Badicals are much annoyed, and con sider this a bar to the carrying out of the Newcastle programme, An attempt of the Nationalists and a few Radicals to reduce the votes for officials connected with the House of Lords, m revenge for the rejection of the Evicted Tenants Bill, was defeated by a majority of nine. The House of Commons accepts the House of Lords' amendments to the Scotch Local Government Bill, Impartial reports indicate that Ire land is not disposed to support the Nationalists' agitation for a renewal of violence. The Irish farmers are now busy gathering m the harvest, which is j a very good one. i The Nationalists are denouncing the Right Hon. John Morley for his failure to carry the Evicted Tenants Bill. The House of Lords passed the second reading of a Bill compelling Building Societies to present an annual account of properties upon which they made advances. Keferring to the Siamese question, Sir E. Grey declared that if any new i phase m the relations between Siam and France arose, the British Govern ment would pursue a different course to that m the past.
