THE London Times in its leading edi-
torial says: 1t is certain that the most
important question considered at yester-
DAYS cabinet council was whether all citi-
zens of Ireland can be protected by the
ordinary machinery of the law We have
every reason to believe that those ho are
most directly responsible for the admins
tration of affairs in Ireland have come to
the conclusion that without increasing the
power Of the executive the present state of
things must not only continue, but the
Land League will enlarge its borders and
become daily more enterprising and auda-
ciOus." The article recommends the sus-
pension of the habeas-corpus act as a rem

the feeling prevailing between the peasants

than that between the peas ants and the

There was tremendous scene in the
French chamber of deputies tonight at
Paris. NJ. Baudry d Asson, the legitimist
deputy for La Vendee, who had been ex-
PEELED on Tuesday by President Gambetta
for calling the government a govern
ment of burglars and expressing his wish
that he might soon assist at the obsequies
of the republic, re-entered the hall to-
night. He was ordered to leave, but re-
fused. Troops were called in and com
manded to remove NJ. Baudry d Asson. He
resisted and his fellow-legitimists came to
his rescue. Then ensued a wild hand-to-
hand fight between the deputies and the
soldiers. The benches were torn up in the
melee. After a long struggle the soldiers
dragged NJ. Baudry d'Asson out, and

A DUBLIN special says; A large num-
Der of meetings were held on the 9th
= haa HI ar
was Athlone, where, through an unceas-
ing rain, fifteen or twenty thousand men
came from Galway, Roscommon, West
meath, and Kings county to the place of
meeting. There was the usual display of
green banners. Rosettes were generally
worn. Considerable curiosity was felt as
to how the people would bear themselves
in presence of the strong measures adopt
ed by the government, but those who
hoped that the farmers would be intimi-
dated were disappointed Mr. Parnell
made bitter and violent speech, attack
ing Mr.. Foster and the government. He
urged the people to close and more ener-
getic organization in order that they
might be able to defy the efforts of the
British government TO maintain the land
lord. He warned them that the struggle
to possess the land was only beginning.
lie urged them 10 display courage ana
constancy toward the government. He
said that it was hypocritical and coward
ly. Mr.. T. ID. Sullivan denounced the
prosecutions, and having exhibited to the
people the lengthy Indictment drawn up
by the law officers against the land league
traverses, he cast it among the crowd,
who tore it to pieces amid frantic cheers
The tone of the meeting was defiant,
Judged by the enthusiastic way in which
the strong speeches were cheered, and by
the voices from the crowd, which were
frequently suggestive of violence. At the
opening OF the meeting the centre of the
platform gave way and number of per-
sons were precipitated TO the ground.
Among those who fell were Messrs. Sulli
van. NJ. F., and O'Kelley, NJ. z. Promp
exertions were made to extricate the strug-
CLING men, who were piled on each other.
This was quickly accomplished, and il was
found that no one was seriouslw injured,
although good many received cuts and
bruises. Great indigna ion was caused by
the discovery that the fall was due to the
fact that one of the supporters had been
half sawed through, but whether this was
due to carelessness or design it is impossi-
BILE to discover
