LONDON
August l. In the House of Commons this afternoon a question was put to the Secretary of State for India with regard to the present position of affairs in Afghanistan. In reply the Marquis of Hartington said that the Indian Government bad no intention of assisting the Ameer Abdul Rahman in his struggle with Ayoub Khan. Subsequently, in reply to another question, the Secretary of State for India stated that the British Government would firmly oppose any attempt on the part of any foreign power to interfere in the affairs of Afghanistan. In the House of Lords the second reading of the Irish Land Bill was moved by Lord Carlingford, Lord of the Privy Seal. In the course of the debate which followed the Marquis of Salisbury admitted the necessity of the measure, but insisted tbat radical amendments of its provisions were required before they could bring about the result aimed at. In the House of Commons to-day a scene of disorder occurred. Mr Parnell was suspended for the remainder of the sitting for using offensive language and defying the Speaker. It is feared that there will be a revival of the obstructions to the business of the House by the Irish members.
