ersers, is a schedule OF the meetings held
by the League, concluding with that held

A dispatch from Dublin says: The
weather Of Lough Mask Is still wet. As
II 10 add to this discomfort OF the troops,
heavy, sleeting snow has been falling.
Father 0'Alalley's expedition, composed
OF the tenautry on Lough Mask estate TO
wait upon the Earl OF Erne, Is being rap
idly organized. They will offer to pay
full rent on condition that Captain Boy.
colt be dismissed. Father 0'Malley has
issued an address 10 the people OF Ireland,
asking them 10 subscribe funds sufficient
to deiray the expenses OF the under.
taking. He has arranged to lead
the party himself. They will start
Thursday morning. Father 0'Malley,
in an interview with correspondent, said
that. he proposed to show the absurdity
OF the situation at Lough Mask. He
thought that the affair wouldtend to hasten
a final settlement OF the land question, on
which he was in sympathy with the rest
OF the country. "When we are gone
north" he said, "you will have an army
OF horse, foot and dragoons guarding an
agent from tenants who are gone on q long
journey for the purpose Of offering their
rent to the landlord" Father o'Malley
is determined to carry out his project,
though Lord Erne has hitherto declined
to receive rents except through Captain
Boycott. -.
LONDON, November 16.-Parnell will
go to Paris Immediately.
John Bright, while speaking at Birming-
ham yesterday, strongly condemned the
land laws OF Ireland, which virtually gave
the proprietors monopoly of the land.
Mr.. Bright attributed the state OF affairs
in Ireland to the rejection by the House
Of Lords OF compensation for the disturb
ance bill with regard to the future.
He said that force would effect nothing.
The Government would not approve OF
chimerical projects for the transfer OF land
to tenants. Mr.. Bright said he believed
the remedy would be we'll considered OF
plan giving tenants security in the pos.
session OF the farms and protection against
the constant increase Of rent. This plan
would include provisions by which land.
lords willing to sell would be able to deal
with tenants willing to buy.
A dispatch from Brussels says: There is
good reason to believe that 5000 rifles
were shipped recently at several station
ports for Ireland, and that the rifles were
purchased in Switzerland by 1rishmen
who had come from the United States.
A dispatch from Ballinrobe says the
commander ofthetroops has been ordered
to be ready to proceed at q moments notice
by forced marches in the direction OF Gal
way, probably on account OF alleged i'm
portation OF arms into the disturbed dis
tricts from America by the way Of great
English ports.
A member Of the Land League IN
formed correspondent that the expedi:
ton OF the Lough Marx tenants to Lord
Enes' residence had been abandoned, as
the Executive Of the Land League refused
to sanction it on the ground that Boycott
intends to quit the district. The address
OF the tenants has been withdrawn.
FEARS OF TROUBLE on THIS SIDE.
QUEBEC, November 16.-The military
authorities are receiving some ten thous.
and stands OF arms here. There Is now
more than two million rounds OF rifle am
munition stored in the citadel magazine.

inhammatory speeches made at the Land
League meeting in Boston, when it was
stated that the first blow struck by the
British Government in Ireland would be
followed by the invasion OF Canada.
