The Land Trouble In Ireland Yet
Unsettled
AN EXCITING SESSION OF PARLIA-
MENT EXPECTED.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16-A London dispatch
says: AT Cabinet meeting on Monday the
Irish land question was discussed at considera-
BILE length. Two schemes for settling it were
suggested, one based on the idea of giving
tenants greater security in their occupation as
tenants of land, and the other based on the
idea of authorizing tenants to buy out their
landlords, on arbitration as to price, taking in
to account the rents paid. Capitalists it is
understood, favor the latter plan.
1t is stated that the League of the
County of Cork are counselling their fol-
lowers to adopta strong course of retal,a ,ation.
A bitter feeling has been cherished against the
landlords in that county on account of their
constant demands for the repeal Of the habeas
corpus act, for coercive legislation, and for the
tion by military. The Land League leaders
there are reported as saying that the county
farmers would do we'll to poison the game COW
els and thus spread CONSERVATION among the
gentry thereabouts. The report in all proba-
biliiy originates with the landlords themselves
or with correspondents of the English press.
LONDON, Eov. 16.-The London correspon-

even to tenants evicted for non-payment OF
rent, give the courts more power for inference
in cases of excessive rent, improve the Bright
clauses in the land act, and simplify the trans
fer of land
John Bright, speaking at Birmingham, yes
terday strongly condemned the land laws of

Prospect Of HostiIities in the Northwest.
CHICAGO, Nov. 16.--A special correspondence
to the Tribune from Fort Peck, Indian Agency,
w. T., via Poplar River, Nov. 1st, says:
About the 1st of October, General Miles sent
word to the different bands of hosties that
thirty days would be allowed them to come in
and surrender, and that all those refusing to
do SO before the expiration of his notice
would be hunted do M and driven in by force.
Very little notice has been paid to this gentle
hint, and except that small parties are con-
stantly joining Sitting Bull one would be led
to think they entirely ignored the order. The
headquarters of the Sioux are on Rock Creek,
tributary of Milk river, and over 100 miles
northwest of this agency. In talk with one
of General Miles scouts, he said that he left
Sitting Bulls camp October 26th, and that thu
old Chief had told him that he would never
surrender but would fight to the death. Gen.
Miles is now gathering his forces at Fort
Keogh and will take the field by this date.
AS the hostiles cannot again take refuge in
Canada, they will no doubt be captured, but
not without a bitter fight.
