Parnell Against Abusing the Police-The
Seizure OF the Juno-Order for Troops
and their supp1fes-Fresh Arrests-Brit-
ish Notes oFWarning.
DUBLIN, Dec. 24.-Mr. Parnell states that
he deprecates abusing the police.
Miss Ellard, landowner, was to-day fired
at near Limerick Junction, but escaped un-
hurt.
The correspondent here of the Times says:
The movement of troops has excited very
uneasy feeling. 1t is generally believed that
the government possesses information war
ranting apprehension of danger. The gov
eminent has made very complete prepare
tons for any contingency. Immense sup
plies of provisions, tents and other cam
paigning requisites, have been stored in the
central depots. 1t is said that all these pre-
parations point to the conclusion that the
government believes that far greater danger
than is seen turks behind. A storeship has
arrived from Woolwich with twenty thousand
rounds of buckshot, large quantity of ball
cartridges and intrenching tools. Another
vessel is shipping a similar cargo at Wool
witch for the new stations at Bruf, Mobile,
Carrick-on-Shannon and Ballyshannon, which
will be occupied by troops These positions
are well chosen, as they are centers of the
disturbed districts from which troops could
operate in various directions. At all the sta
tions where cavalry are quartered without in
fantry, the supply of ammunition will be in
creased to fifty rounds per man.
The Times, in leading editorial article
this morning, says:
No political doubts ought to divert US from
the duty of providing that in ireland, as in
England and Scotland, men shall be delivered
from terrorism as citizens of q State in which
anarchy never before has been permitted to
spread over entire provinces. We look with
dismay upon the paralysis of the government
in Ireland. We constantly receive additional
testimony to the decomposition of society.
In many cases it is impossible to publish i'm
portant statements lest individuals should
suffer. We have been assured on excellent
authority that the unsatisfactory issue of
many proceedings at the winter assizes is
easily accounted for. At first jurors stayed
away from the assizes preferring to be fined
rather than to face the risk of having to con-
vict prisoners, but the Land League ordered
several jurors to attend and they obeyed, sand
the prisoners were acquitted in the teeth of
the evidence against them.
It seems that the Norwegian ship Juno,
which was seized by the customs authorities
at the mouth of the Shannon on Wednesday,
had started from Queenstown for New York,
but was driven back into the Shannon by
stress of weather The customs authorities
took charge of the vessel as @ natural result
of the character of her cargo. There does
not seem to have been any surreptitious at
tempt to land arms, though the presence of
considerable number of Irish-Americans in
that district at the moment is pointed to a
singular coincidence.
Some soldiers who are home on leave have
been ordered to return to Ireland. They say
that the feeling among the lower order of
people is very strong against the military,
even in Dublin, and that it is a common prac-
tice to shoulder soldiers off the footpath to
provoke quarrel
The police of Portadown, Ulster, to-day
arrested Home Ruler, named Boyle, and a
number of documents relating to secret So
cieties found upon him have. been RENTED to
Dublin.
The Inspector General of the Irish Con-
stabulary has issued a circular warning the po-
lice against attempts to decoy them from
their barracks and reminding them of the
precautions necessary to ensure safety of the
barracks and arms.
