the closing Of public and the arrest OF persons
found outdoors at night in the proclaimed disics' ana
removing the restrictions on newspapers.
The Cuie Secretary stated that the Government In.
tended to reenact the laws against nbbonsm In West
meath as it had been assured the ribbon conspiracy
existed as strong there lie pointed 70 the RAGS
that John Mitchell elected to Parliament because ne
had declared that would consent TO be at peace
with England and he alluded to the return OF numer-
GUS emgrants from America who, he said had acquired
Western vices and forgotten their Irish virtues ihese

THE FORCE BILL IN THE SENATE.
The Democrats of the Senate were on the alert
this morning for the force BILL" which was ex-
pected from the House. 1t arrived at the Senate at
an early hour and remained upon tho Vlce-fresi'
dents table until after the expiration OF the morn
ing hour, when its reading was called for Uniookeo
for objection Immediately came from the Democratic
side. on the ground that it was out OF order
to read it at that time. The Chairman overrued the
objection and the clerk proceeded toread, when
formal appeal was made for the purpose OF readihg
the oath rule which gives the order OF business anu
provides that bills from the House, &c, shall De
read during the morning hour Vlce-Presldent
Wilson admitted that this was the language OF the
rule but said that it had been the constant pracce
to read bills from the House at any tiihe'
and in regard TO this particular DILL ne
had intended to lay it before the Senate
at the proper time, but at the suggestion
of Senator he had withheld it until the Chairman
of the Committee should come in. When this state
ment was made the appeal was Withdrawn and the
bill read for the first time. 1t will be read third
time on Wednesday. before which time 1t Is not
probable that any attempt will be made to discuss
it. The Republicans aware of their inability TO
pass such measure. may possibly sec the necessity
of devoting themselves entirely to necessary pusi
ness during the short time remaining, and allow the
Force bill" to fail without effort to prevent the
failure
