LONDON, August 25.--A dispatch from
Dublin to the Times says: Some additional
alarm may perhaps be produced In regard
to the state OF Ireland among people at
distance by the disclosure OF Feniansm
made by correspondent OF the New York
Herald in Ireland. Very few, however,
will be alarmed or believe il TO be impor-
tant. A secret society OF Irish Republicans
does exist, but it Is comparatively harmless.
Such an organization has attractions for ex.
IRENE fanatical enthusiasts. Ii is evidently
recognized by the ParneIists; but an ASSOC
citation OF fanatics Is an association OF essen
tally discontinued men, and they are Begin
ming to grumbe at the smallness OF their
share OF the glory OF the anti En- glish agita-
ton. Neither itself or its organs in the
press are thriving financially. The Parnell-
lite organization is much more important.
Mr.. Parnell has sent a telegram from the
House OF Commons expressing his regret
that only some thirty members, less than
one-hali Of the Irish party, were present in
the House on Monday. Ample notice was
given that the estimates would be taken up
at that sitting, and an urgent whip was
issued to each member. AS several days
must elapse before the Irish consta bulary
Il.
that more members will be present when
they are reached.
Arrangements for the Expected Heir
OF the Spanish Throne.
NEW YORK, August PA Paris special
has the following: Our Madrid correspond
ent telegraphs: "Queen Christina has given
much pleasure to the Catholics, especially
in the lower classes, by visiting In succession
nine popular chapels and churches dedicated
to the Virgin, and leaving 5000 for the poor
at each shrine. At every chapel she knelt
for more than one hour in prayer. The
Queen and her mother, the Archduchess
Isabella, constantly visit the churches,
where mass is offered for the happy
delivery OF her Majesty. Apartments are
now prepared in the palace for Queen Isa-
bella, who Is expected on August 18th.
Most OF the foreign ministers, State delega-
tions, high functionaries and ministers have
arrived In Madrid in readiness for the event,
which is expected during the last week in
August. A royal decree has been issued
abrogating the decree OF May 26, 1850, and
declaring the sons OF Alphonzo direct heirs
to the throne, with the title OF Princes OF
Asturias. The Kings daughters will re-
ceiye the title n Princesses OF Asturias If
so decreed."
Gambefta's speech Criticised.
PARIS, August 25.-The article Of the
North German Gazette on Gambetta's
speech at Cherbourg has produced some
sensation here. The Repubtique FRANCHISE,
NJ. Gambetta's organ, replies in moderate
but firm language. 1t disclaims any inten.
ton on the part OF France to disturb the
peace. The proyocations have come during
the past ten years not from France, but
from Germany. The Repubtqae EancaiSe
attributes the article to wish to justify
enormous German ornaments. Other Re-
publican papers write in the same strain.
LONDON, August ga dispatch from
Vienna to the Times says: The article Of
the North German Gdzette commenting on
NJ. Gambetta's utterances at CherbOurg
caused sensation here. It's firm but mod
crate language is generally approved. The
| Times, in leading editorial. upholds GAM
| betta's speech, which it says is, under the
circumstances, neither rash nor proyoca-
tive. The only point OF comfort in the
challenge OF the North German Gazette
is the avowal that Germany will never
again interfere in the political affairs OF
France.
