Biggar, Shields, F. P. O'Conner, O'Kelley
and Sexton started for London to -support
the motion of Callan inquiring into the,
sentence of Gray; which comes up for
debate in the Commons tomorkow.
The City Hall was densely crowded io-
day on the.occasioia of the presentation ,of
the freedom of the titer to Parnell and Dil-
lon. Nearly every Mayor in Ireland except
the Mayor of Belfast were 'pr'esent., Story,
O radical member of Parliatnentand all the

were present. When the roll of the corpora-
tion was called,anditt the mention of Gray's
name, the whole audience. rOse and.oheered
entlausiasticaller for several minutes. The
Lord Mayor declared Greeee sentence
equivalent to six months' imprisonment.
He advised the peep% to • be moetecarefu
and guarded in their language, as they were
in the midse of a great crisis. " • ,
Parnell in thanking the , Corporation for
the freedom of the -city said in evieve-of-
recent events it was clear thee liberty of
speech no longer existed in Ireland. He
and his associates, however; would take
care to bring the subject before the House
of Commons on the first oppOrtunity.
Meanwhile the Irish party would peaceably
continue to educate the people togovern

In the House of Commons the Speaker
read it letter from Judge Laweon'annottna-
ing tlie committal of Gray. , , •
• Mr. Gladstone gated that precedents of
cases similar to that of Gray show that the
appointment of a conamittee is the proper
(mune. At present,' however, it is too late
to eeeure the appointment of a represeota-
tive committee. He did not, moreover,
kaow any way in which the conansittee
could release Gray if they wished to do so.
He, therefore, made a purely formal
motion that the letter of Lawson be tabled.
A passing reference of Gladstone to an
address to the Crown for the removal: of
Lawson as one of the possible alternative
courses was received by loud cheers from
the Irish members.
Sexton attacked Lawson for tireventing
Gray from making a defence. The proposal
of Gladstone siniply means to defer the
matter until Gray's term expires.
Gray has telegraphed the Speaker aid
Gladstone infornahig them of his com-
mittal, and the refusal of Lawson to grant
him an adjournment in his case.
Sexton read , telegrams reciting the at&
• davits svsorn to to -day, declaring that sev-
erakol th oejnrynaen_whoemevinted_llynes
were drunk, and repeating the accusations
of jury packing. Sexton said that as long
as the lives of the Irish people were at the
mercy of legal cbtoauary, no rnipor reforms
would satisfy them. Gray's imprisonment
was a soanda.1 and disgrace to justice. The
Attorney -General of Ireland stated the
details of the composition of the . juries,
with a view to rebut thaaccusations. He
declared that nothing could be worse than
Gray's conduit. ,
Plunkett (Conservative) supported the
Government. He considered that in con-
sequence, of Gray's high position it was
right that his punislunent should have
been exemplary. The debate was continued
until the suspension of the 'sitting, the
Irish members repeating Sexton's aceusa.
,Johnson eiesied : Now that the statement
relative to the drunkenness of the jury that
had convicted Hynes had been repeated in
Paellas:emit; Earl Spencer, the Lord -Lieu-
tenant of Ireland, would investigate it with

AN ACCURSED LAND.
•
Fainine and Desolation Everewaeie—No
Rain for Five
A correspondent in Morocco, Northern
Egypt, writes: Truly the curse of God
seems to be upon this land which in the
year 011 878 was visited by it terrible famine
which swept away 90 per cent, of the live
stook and from 25 to 30 per cent. of the
inhabitants. From this blow they have
but partially recovered. Since this famine
they have had miserable harvests, and at
this writing it seems as if another famine
is upon them. The crops have failed and
famine prices have been fully establithed.
Already breadetuffe are entirely out of the
reach of two-thirds of the inhabitants. In
the country it repetition of what took place
in 1878 can now baseen. The women and
children are scattered all over the ceuntry,
digging for a certain root and large white
grubs which they greedily devour. The
root when taken from the ground
is rank poison, and deals death
to those who eat it when green.
But the Moors p,ut it through a
process of pounding and drying, aud when
-thoroughly prepared 1t -contains-sufficient
nutriment to keep off Starvation.' If this
famine proves as fatal as that of 1878 there
will be scarcely any Moors left. Recently
the Sultan started with about twenty
thousand troops for the Loos country.
They went to Agadir, about esixty miles
south of Mogeelor, on the ..,Athentic, where -
the Sultan had a supply of stores, and
thence inland to Terrandant. The Sultan
expected to have hard fighting, on his
mach, but to hie surprise he Poland the
people indigent. The only breadstuff in,
the country was barley, and that octet f$7_ per
beffsiliele-There hasbeenno rain in this
country for five years, and the Sultan lose
many anima% and men from thirst. A
large number of men damned him. The
few people left in that pare of the country
are in a. moat deplorable state. Here there
are cereals of different kinds, but it few
hours' ride back in the country great nun'.
here of the people will be found perfectly
destitute, having only a few old raga tied
about their persoas. They subsist on ,the
same roots the wild oar 'lives on, the' only
difference being that the boar digs them
out of the ground with hie snout, while the
half -human wretohes dig them out with
any piece of ,old iron or other metal they
may be able to obtain. The Sultan is now
about to return to Moeador. „- •
