FENIANIsM IN IRELAND.


LONDON, July 8.-A Dublin correspondent
says there can be no'doubt that Fenianism ia
engrafted on the land agitation and imparta
to it it's most effective organization and for
midable characters. The peasantry have
been trained to move in military order and
understand how to aot together as disci-
plined bodies, and every opportunity is taken
to collect arms.
THE BERLIN TREATY.
LONDON, July SIN the House of Com.
mons Sir Henry Wolff, conservative, asked
whether the government had communicated
with other powers relative to coercive meas
ures in the event of refusal of the porte to ac-
cept the recommendations of the BerliH con-
ference. Gladstone said the government
policy continues to be to prosecute the full.
f1llment of the Berlin treaty as the decision
of the conference has not yet been present
ed to the porte. It would be want of re-
spect and Difference to the porte to propose
that it will oppose the unanimouse advice
of Europe.
ACTIVITY OF LAND LEAaUERs.
LONDON, July S.-A correspondent of the
Edinburgh Sc0tc7anaan says he hears the gov
ernment has received information from Ire
land that unless the compensation for DIS
turbance bill is passed public tranquility
will be endangered. The land agitation is
still kept up, and branches of land leagues
are being formed in every town in the west
of Ireland. The line of speakers at the
meetings is suggestive of lurking mishief,
which will have to be closely watched. 1t
plainly indicates political purpose beyond
the mere acquisition of land, and to which
the latter object is subordinate but contribu-
tary.
The Times in leading article this morn
ing points out the majority of the govern
ment on the second reading of compensation
for the disturbance bill in Ireland fell one
hundred short of the united liberal and
Irish strength. The apprehensions excited
in the minds of many liberals has not been
removed by Gladstone's impassioned and in
genious pleading. The reluctance to ac-
cept the bill has not been based solely on
belief that it will be unjust to Irish land
lords in it's immediate operation, but part ly
Oh apprehensions that it portends reopening
of the English land question in all its hight
and breadth.
PARNELLs OBJECTION.
In the house tonight, OH motion to go
into committee On the compensation for dis
turbance bill, Parnell said that if instead of
the bill as it now stood, the government had
introduced one to extend to the whole of
Ireland the Uulster custom as permanent
enactment, he would have supported the
bill, but as it was 1t would be necessary to
move amendments to make the amendment
of the attorney general effectual.
Forster said the object of the bill was not
10 punish landlords, but to erect safeguards
for the future and to prevent landlords from
taking advantage of the existing state of
things so as to get possession of the proper
ty. Sir Stafford Northcote said the amend
ment of the attorney general was a complete
change of front on the part of the govern
ment. The motion that the house 90 into
committee was then adopted; 255 to 1879.
CABINET RESIGNATION.
LONDON, July SIT was announced in the
lobby of the house of commons tonight
that the Marquis Lansdowne, under secre-
tary for India, had resigned in consequence
of being unable to conscientiously support
the compensation for disturbance bill in the
house of lords, and also on account of being
himself holder of land in Ireland. Lord
Elcho, liberal conservative, in consequence
OF the ruahor, asked in the house of COM
mons whether it was fact that Lord Lans-
downe was no longer member of the gov
ernment. The inquiry was received by the
opposition with cheers. Mr.. Gladstone re-.
piled eyes," whereupon the opposition
cheers were renewed.
The Standard says decomposition has al
ready begun in the cabinet. Lord Lans-
down, one of the largest Irish territorial pro-
prietors, has resigned, and his resignation
has been accepted. Rumors were freely cir
culated last night of other members of the
government who had expressed objection to
the compensation for disturbance bill. The
Irish members refrained from voting on the
motion to go into committee on the bill in
consequence of the new Interpretation of the
measure by the attorney general.
