In view Of the difficulty of obtaining a
verdict from an Irish jury, 1t is said to be
the intention to apply to the Qleen's
Bench for change Of venue and bring
the accused for trial before an EpRlis6 4
jury. The Government claims to have
this power under the new Judicature acts,
It's eIercitel lwonldbe regarded as legal
revolution In Irish politics, and would
place the agitators at the mercy OF the
English Government.
The leaders OF the Land League think
that II they are tried In England, they will
certainly be convicted. A large reinforce
ment OF troops is being hurried into Ire
land. They are sent to occupy command
ing positions in Co1naught and Munster.
1t is feared that grave trouble may arise
on the arrest OF the Irish leaders.
The British press is unanimous in sup
porting the measures which the govern
ment proposes to check the agitation.
Even the journals which have hitherto
deprecated any extraordinary proceedings
now admit that some action Is absolutely
necessary.
The Freeman's Journal asserts that the
government Is reluctant to assent to the
inclusion Of newspaper articles in the in
dictment bills.
In the cases OF certain journals in Dub
lin, Wexford, Tralee, Roscommon, Gal.
way and Mayo, whose proprietors are
members oil the Land League, It was
finally virtually settled in consultation
with the law officers that they shall be in
dicted. The list OF the leaders who are to
be prosecuted Is now settled, but during
the week which will elapse before the
proceedings are begun there may be start
ling changes.
The Freeman's Journal says the indict.
ment against the Land League will include
two hundred speeches, the drafted testi-
mony OF fifty witnesses. and various news
paper articles.

LONDON, es.23.-The cries OF "no
politics" which rose during the preseuta-
ton OF Mr.. Boucicsult's remodeled drama,
"The 0'Dowd," at the Adelphi Theater on

night the spectators have given constant
and sympathetic applause to the dramat-
lists intentions. The political sentiments
are neither unreasonable nor reasonable.

the hustiugs scene in the County Galway,
