A cabinet c,uuoil was held 10 L,nd % yas:sr.
day 10 discuss matters 10 Ireland. MIR. Forster
agaio urged that coerci7e measures should be
adopted, bu: faally CONSENTED to another delay.
The Press Association this evening says: I'VE
understand that If The cabinet cou1cl decides
to adopt ooeic;Vo measures 10 Ireland. Two mlo'
listers at least will forward their designations to
Mr.. Gladstone Immediately" This probably
refers to Messrs. Bright and Chsmbsrlaio. The
Pal Mall Gizatte says "lS is unlikely that Tho
ministers who haVo hitherto opposed coercion
will break UP the government rather than a.

stated to b, beyond description. and the League
now holds almost uod5pu,ed sway. Extensive

The Times, 10 leading editorial articls this

Irish government has already allowed tho reign
of laglcssoess TO assume dimensions It should

Toe strange look in her eyes taken with Der

bideous by her screams and curses. She shouted
that she would kill herself. Fearful that she
