LONDON. Aug, 28.-Thc interest in Irish
politics has been transferred to Westminster.
| The aIl-night debate on Thursday was not
prearranged, and was developed by an i'm
prudent observation. from the Govern
ment bench, although the Irish mem-
bcrs desired to force attention during
the present session to the employment
of military under the guse of the constabn-
larry. 1t is suggested that the debate arose
because tho Irish members desired to- display
their tactics before the leading members OF
the Land League, who were present.
While the debate gratified Irish van-
ity, English opinion is unanimous
as to tile sincere desire Of
tie present Government to satisfy the Irish
demands, If allowed reasonable time. Mr.
Forster's declaration OF his Intention to in
troducc a bill to prevent unjust landlords
from taking advantage Of the machinery OF
repression is an unmistakable proof Of
the Governments sincerity, and is
also ;. a warning to the worst
class of landlords. The English Liberals
aud Radicals blame the Irish for refusing the
olive branch. IN its ultimate effect the
twenty-one hours sitting may be disastrous
to the Irish party. It has convinced the
present Parliament, as similar circumstances
did the last, of the necessity of new rules
to prevent the minority from 0verawing the
House. Members dislike curtaillng their
privileges, but the feeling is universal, after
Thursdays proceedings, that the conduct Of
tie Irish party requires u sacrifice which,
under ordinary circumstances, Radicals aud
Liberals alike would not concede:
