London, October The rescuers, within thirty yards of the coal face, found a large number of dead bodies. Some were decapitated and dismembered. The Bon (\Jlobhouse at Bristol, was sanguine of a rapproachement on Home .Rule. If opportunities of peace Avere neglected, the result would be disastrous, but it would be equally disastrous if the Government yielded to violence.

titles, and transfers, besides valua- J tion. The Govern men! found that large farms were fairly rented on the whole, but not so the small farms, and they proposed to enable small farmers to appeal , and make their complaints before the commissioners if the existing rent* were excessive, and to empower the commissioners to reduce the rents. Moreover, rent nnv reasonable might become unreasonable in tin , event of statutory increase of labourers' wages. Finally a temporary lessening ol rent might be sought in the event of great agricultural depression. Land that could not be cultivated would be used for afforestation. The Minister of Land might be instructed to acquire, at a reasonable price, any derelict and neglected tracts, and improve and : equip them with a view to their ulinost cultivation.
