DUBLIN, Dec De. Dwyer Gray,
Lord Randolph Church and other mem
bers of parliament were present at the
opening of the State trial. The law Off
Ger of the crown referred to the humble
occupations OF most of the traversers and
said doubtless they found agitation more
profitable. He warmly denounced the
agitations as an intolerable conspiracy
The intention of the government in in
stituting these proceedings was to pro-
tect rich and poor alike from frightful
Tyranny that respected neither
life or property. People had been told
not to accept O'Connor's dictu1n
that no other form was worth a drop of
blood, and a few days after they were
thus advised, Ferrick, the baliff, was
shot The remarks of the law officer at
this point caused considerable feeling in
court, especially when he quoted reported
words of j. W. Molly, one of the travers-
ers, that Ferrick's murder was worth a
hundred speeches
further stigmatized by counsel as capi-
tai plan for reducing society to original
chaos, and bringing about communism of
crime. He particularly pointed to Bren-
nan, Boynton, Gordon, Sullivan and Nelly
as agitating with a view to pecunlary
profit. He quoted Tally's violent speech
which Immediately preceded Fe rrick's
murder, and then proceeded to deal with
violent speeches attributed to Dillon and
Parnell, both Of whom had said the peo-
pie had remedy for grievances in their
own hands. The former he said had ad-
vised them to put no faith in the British
parliament, but to drill. He cited various
further passages of speeches by these two
members Of parliament as exasperating
the people into spoliation and murder.
He quoted, amidst general laughter,
from the speech of Biggar, who said he did
not recommend the shooting of landlords
because the wrong men had been some
times shot. After quoting Harris quota
tion to the peasantry, to emulate the eX-
ample Of the French in 1898, he said, in
word, the land league is formed on the
basis of sedition and treason. Parnell,
who was given to expressing his opinions
moderately, had himself declared that
either the landlords or the people must
go, and it would be for the people them
selves to decide which. The court then
adjourned at $3.50 P. NJ, because Law,
attorney general was fatigued.
Parnell was loudly cheered on leaving
the court.
COMMENTS OF PAPERS.
LONDON, Dec. 29.-The correspondent
of the Times at Dublin says the first day
of the State trials has been remarkable
only for gloom and dullness. Those who
expected The city would be full of excite-
ment, that thousands would assemble in
the streets and that the court would be
besicged by eager multitudes clamoring
for admission were badly dis
appointed. There has not been
the slightest manifestation of public feel
ing beyond the gathering of about 200
persons in the vicinity of the courts The
absence of any sympathy with the cause
or interest in the proceedings on the part
ofrespectable citizens was very significant
and presented to those who remember the
OConnell trial very striking contrast
HOME RULERS.
LONDON, Dec. ga meeting of the
home rule members of parliament, except
those who are now on trial, Will be had in
London January 6, Immediately after the
opening of parliament, for the purpose
of considering any further action on the
part of the government.
SOLDIERS MOBBED.
At Wcstport, last night, several soldiers
were severely beaten by mob.
TROOPS FOR IRELAND.
LONDON, Dec. 29.--The Standard states that
further dispatches of troops to Ireland are
probable. The admiralty requests that the war
officers arrange for the relief of mariners in
the service in Ireland, as the detention of so
many mariners there causes great incOnven-
