The New L Ork " oEld's London COR
respondent Says The course pursued
by Mr.. Parnell--which means Home
Rule or nothing -has forced the Gov
eminent to a step which is not unlikely
to cause bloodshed in Ireland before
many days. There was prolonged
meeting of the Cabinet to-day, which
was ominously preceded by an inter
view before the Duke Of Cambridge,
COMMANDMENTS Chief Of the Forces,
and Childers, Secretary of War. 1t is
not considered proper to say what &C.
Cured at that interview, but you can
form your own conclusions from the re-
suit of the Cabinet meeting which i'm
mediately followed. Mr.. Forster, Chief
Secretary for Ireland, came husriedly
to London day or two ago and de-
handed that coercive measures should
be at once put in force IN Ireland. 1t
is asserted at the clubs tonight, III spite
of rumors to the contrary outside, that
the Cabinet decided to-day to,use all
the power of the Government TO crush
the Land League movement IN Ireland.
This result has been so entirely uneX-
pected Of late that there is the greatest
excitement at the West End, and
stranger to London visiting the Pail
Mall clubs tonight would assuredly
conclude that we are in the midst of
civil war. Troops for Ireland''-a
cry first started by the followers OF
Lord Boaconsfeld- now be heard
Gu every side, and shall be much sur
prised if orders are not at once issued,
without waiting for the next Cabinet
meeting, this week, to send every availa-
bic soldier across St. Georges channel.
Having overconle all petty scruples
about the duty they owe to Ireland, the
Government propose to show that un-
fortunate country at once that they are
not to be laughed at. The Queen will
certainly and Immediately be asked to
exercise the royal prerogative and susr.
pend the writ Of habeas corpus, and
when Parliament meets early IN Janu-.
airy it will be asked to pass an act veri,
flying the suspension.
Oakland, California, is agitated over
amost unfortunate affair which occurred
last night. 1t appears that about half
past o'clock a young man named John
Scotchler, son of Mr.. Scotchler, of San
Francisco, commission merchant, was
about taking his leave after visiting
Elizabeth Taylor, aged IS, to whom he
was engaged. He was bidding her
goodbye at the gate, when she noticed
something in his pocket, and-asked what
it was. He, replied by producing
! four barrel Sharps pistol Imagining
it to.be unloaded, he snapped it off two
or three times. The girl said: K am
afraid of pistols" and wheeled around
as he snapped it again. The pistol was
discharged, the ball entering her mouth
and penetrating the brain, killing her
almost instantly She was the only
daughter of a. widowed mother. Her
brother and lover bore her into the
house and sent for a physician, but she
was rlgd in death when he arrived.
Her mother and brother are almost
frantic with grief, and her lover is in an
equally distracted condition.
