The new North-west. [volume] (Deer Lodge, Mont.) 1869-1897, 1880-12-10

DUBLIN, December THE Judge in
charging the Grand Jury at the opening Of
the Cork assizes for the County Of Munster
to-day said some districts were reduced to
anarchy bordering on civil war. The whole
population was apparently armed and out
RACES were alarmingly numerous. A large
number of persons assembled for the Land
League meeting at Brookborough to-day.
The local magistrate told the promoters OF
the meeting that he would hold them re-
sponsible for the consequences and he read
the riot act. The Land Leaguers then ad-
journed to field outside outside the village
and the riot act was again read. At this
juncture, James O'Kelly, member of Parlia-
ment, arrived on the ground. The magis-
trate ordered him to quit the field. O'Kelly
then left with his followers, who held a
meeting further from the village. At the
latter meeting O'Kelly protested against the
action of the magistrate and denounced Chief
Justice May as % an ermined rufiian." O'Kel-
ly subsequently, sent q Geographic dispatch
to Forster, Chief Secretary for Ireland, pro-
testing against the dispersal of a peaceful
meeting, declaring that bloodshed was pre-
vented only by the self-control of the people
and demanding inquiry into the cause of pro-
hibition of the meeting, and into the conduct
of the local magistrate. The police and cav
airy were present during the affair." The
meeting was forbidden yesterday to prevent
breach of the peace, as a counter demon
stration was threatened by the Orangemen.
A circular was read which had been issued
by the Grand Orange Lodge summoning
the brethren and loyal people to purchase
rifles and bayonets to resist the agitators
when occasion arises.
LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE Post says serious
trouble has arisen in the Cabinet again oyer
the Irish question and 1t may lead to inpor-
tant secessions from the Cabinet or to early
| meeting of Parliament.
New YoRK, Dec. S.-The Worlds London
special says the speech of Chief Justice May
| Of the Queens Bench in Ireland, in which he
refused to grant postponement OF the Irish
state trials, has caused great excitement
with Land Leaguers who profess to regard 1t
as plain intimation that the power of the
| court will be used in the interests of the
crown during these trials. The incorporate
remarks of the Chief Justice have not beer
received with any favor whatever, here in
| London, and 1t is rumored this evening thai
the Lord Chancellor will enter protest In
behalf of the government against the genera
tone of the speech. 1t is well understood
that as soon as his trial Is called Parnell will
attempt to leave Dublin for London and he
will be arrested. The other indicted mem
hers of Parliament will also undertake to at
tend to their parliamentary duties in Londor
and If they succeed in getting out Of IRELAND
they will introduce resolution in the House
which, If adopted, will have the effect o.
bringing about an immediate debate on state
trials and will bring the whole Irish question
before the House Of Commons. 1t Is moi
likely, however, that Parnell or any of his
fellow members will be permitted to leave
Dublin when once the trials are called, ant
it is now believed that should he be arrested
serious consequences will follow.
The Land League are on the point Of max
ing new move against the landlords. Ten
ants are to be instructed to deduct the police
taxes from their rents before offering even
Griffith's valuation to the landlords, and as
the cost of the constabulary Is no small item
In the Irish budget just now, the reduction
i'm rent will be so serious that landlords can
not afford to accept it. This is an entirely
new phase of the rent question and one thai
| will be watched with interest.
| Mr.. Froude will reissue his work on Ire
land with chapter added, dealing with the
present struggles.
