Dublin correspondent commenting on
this Forster memorandum says the truth is
the magistrate agents and landlords are in q
general panic, and do not venture to ell.
force the laws of the execution brought by
the attorney general to Balinslo, and others
in Sligo have broken down, which has had
discouragipg effect. There is also dificul
ty about treating the land league meetings
as unlawful assemblies. The magistrates
do not feel justified in regarding the threat
to Boycott as coming within the act, as il
does not imply violence.
LONDON, Dec. 9-The Pail Mall Gazette
says: Everybody will ask why Forster's
memorandum reminding magistrates of the
powers they possess under the existing law,
was not issued months ago. The memoran-
dunn may now be too late. Forster NAV
come over to the cabinet with request TO,
coercion bill so urgent that his colleagues
may feel it Impossible to resist. If this be
SO, parliament will have right to know, in
view of his dilatoriness in reminding the
magistrates of their powers, whether he has
really used up to present time and pressed
his subordinates to use all the instruments
they already possessed.
IN THE North OF IRELAND.
DUBLIN, Dec. 9.--The land league is con-
Quoting the campaign in the north with con
siderable skill, modifying its programme and
proceedings to avoid offending the preiu-
dices of the people of Ulster. In that pro-
vince there is quite different tone to their
speeches from that prevailing in other parts
of the country with view of conciIiatine
the Presbyterian liberals and orangemen.
The system of boycotting has been applied
to six detachments of constabulary in differ
ent parts of Ireland.
LONDON, Dec. 9.-Tho government has
ordered Accommodations for $50 soldiers to be
prepared at Ballina, where lady land OWL

EXCITEMENT At MONAGHAN.
DUBLIN, Dec. 9.-The Monaghan cores

down, to send 1000 men to Scalstown with
out delay. Another telegram was dispatched
to the district grand master of Orangemen OF
Armagh, to send 1000 men. A similar tele-
gram was sent to Lord Crichton to send ], ZOO
men from Fermanagh. These are certain TO
arrive, and the number will more than be
doubled by men from Monaghan
and the surrounding neighborhood.
The men will be supplied with some means
of defense. The most active efforts are be-
ing made by the constitutional party and
the citizens to make each meeting q success.
The assemblage will be the most formidable
and perhaps the most dangerous to peace
that has been witnessed in Ulster for some
years, and If the Ulster landlords take pat
tern by the example set them by Lord Ross
more, Vaudeville and Crichtcn, the leaguers
will have little to say in Ulster.
NOTED LIBERALS OPINION.
LONDON, Dec. o. Shaw LeFevre, the new
commissioner of works and buildings, who
is universally recognized as holding the most
liberal views on the subject of Irish lands,
and who stated he was advanced to his pres
ent post with especial view to the service he
could render in the debates on the land ques-
tion, in his speech at Reading last night,
said, ownership was the highest degree of
security known to the law. The formation
of class of present proprietors must, he
said necessarily be slow, unless We are pre-
pared to expatriote the landlords at our own
price. It would be easy to show this could
not be for the benefit of Ireland. 1t would
multiply the events of absenteeism and
would result in not only fifth but ali the
rent of Ireland being sent out of Ireland in
the shape of interest on the purchase money.
A system of extended ownership could not
last if it had its origin in confiscating and
robbery. Whatever is done must be with
every regard to the rights or compensation
of landlords. He said he had no sympathy
with the plans of intimidation and the VIC.
lent methods of the land league. They set
up government in opposition to that of the
queen, and this was state of things which
could not be allowed to continue.
PRUSSIA AND THE CATHOLICS.
BERLIN, Dec. Sin the lower house of
the Prussian diet, to-day, Won Puttkammer,
minister of ecclesiastical affairs, replying to
statement of Windthorst, an ultramontane
leader, relative to the grievances of Catholics,
said the government fully shared their sor-
row at the little progress made in the at
tempt to reconcile differences. The govern
ment, by their last ecclesiastical bill, bad
afforded means for concluding peace. By
the rejection of that bill the material al

They could not lay themselves open to an.
other such defeat, and indeed, assume an
expectant attitude while administering the
existing law indulgently.
