A dynamite bomb was thrown into , the railings afc the Dublin Law \ Courts to-day-, which is the anniversary of the Phoenix Park murders. Windows Were smashed by the i explosion, but the bomb itself sank i into the pavement. 1 The theory of the police is that it \ burst itl mid am I No 1 ai't'egta haVe Ueh made. Mr Michael t)avitt has bee"ii fid* . judged bankrupt for the non payi nient of the costs of the North Meath 5 election petition case. j Mr Balfour, addressing a meeting . of the Primrose League in London, i said Mr Gladstone's conduct was c ambiguous and shifty. He had [ postponed the financial clauses of 5 the Home Rule Bill, deferring the payment to his Irish auxiliaries t until they had voted the other 3 clauses. His remarks caused con- * siderable uproar. Ulster M:P.'s denounce the pro--1 posal to treat Ulster separately, and 3 assert that the Premier may be sure ] of defeat and dishonour if he afcl tempts it. i The statement that the Khan of i Beloochisfcan was to be deposed on * account of his cruelties is now said 3 to be premature, and it is reported , that the Viceroy of India will en--3 quire into the condition of the 3 country before taking definite action.

Mr Darl--1 ing's amendment, asserting the 5 supreme authority of the Imperial I Parliament, gave rise to a scene, i and the closure was applied, the 1 result being that the proposal was , negatived. Lord R. Churchill's . amendment also was negatived, t whereupon the mover indignantly » moved to report progress. The Premier denied . that there was a t conspiracy amongst his followers to 3 remain silent, and justified the use t of the closure. Up to the present no > progress has been made.
