took away his gun and there left him. He

ACTION OF THE LANDLORDS.
The London correspondent of the Manchester
Guardian says:-'"The government are placed in
possession of much information by landlords in
connection with the rent agitation in Ireland,
which for obvious reasons the landlords cannot
make public. These statements show that many
tenants who are in position to pay their rents
and are willing to pay are kept from doing by
fear of outrage from others who cannot or will
not pay. 1t is understood that large number
of processes of ejectment have been and will be
applied for. While it is feared that the execu-
ton of these processes will produce some diff
Guilty. it is believed that if they administered
only in cases where there is no want of ability to
pay. and if time for payment is given to others,
the agitation will be much reduced"
COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.
All the London journals of yesterday approve
Of the arrests except the Daily Ne,cs, which
makes them the occasion for violent partisan
attack. The Dublin Irish Times blames the
government for molesting the meaner and
mailer agitators, who have nothing to lose by
being made heroes. The governments action
may revive Mr.. Parnelps expiring influence.
The Dublin Frceman's Journal says the arrests
are unconstitutional, an act of arbitrary power
intended to parnlyze the land agitation by
terrorism. The Dublin Daily Express applauds
the action of the government.
MASS MEETINGS IN IRELAND.
At home rule conference in London last
night it was resolved to hold mass meeting of
the Irish inhabitants of London and all sympa-
thizers with Ireland, in Hyde Park, not later
than the 3Oth. inst, to protest against
the arrest of DAILY, Killen and Davitt.
All of the homo rule members of Parlia-
ment resident in London will be invited to
attend. The Irish organizations in Liverpool,
Leeds, Newcastle, Birmingham and Glasgow
have determined to make public protests. At
meetings of the home rule organizations in North
London, Southwark and Greenwich tonight it
was resolved to assist the promoters of the land
agitation. Several subscriptions were handed
in at the home rule offices. Mr.. Charles Stewart
Parnell will be invited to attend the Hyde Park
demonstration if his engagements will permit
Mr.. Parnell had deferred his visit to the United
States in consequence of rumors reaching him
of the intended action of the government, and
the present crisis will delay his journey still
further.

The Dublin correspondent of the London
