liberal demonstration in Hanly, Stafford
shire, Earl Granville, foreign secretary, said;
1T is Illuminating and discreditable fact
that in Ireland there is want Of security
for life and property. Il is impossible for
this state of things to continue. The public
has right to expect the government will
not merely introduce measure which is
likely to cope with the present emergency,
but will provide for the future" After re-
ferring to the successive phases Of the east
ern question, he said; :No new proposition
relative to Greece has been made since that
of France, but it is Impossible for the Greek
question to remain without solution He
gave particulars of England's proposal to
occupy Smyrna. Russia and Greece accept
ed the proposal and Austria at first prom
ised assistance, but afterwards declined to

Austria absented herself abe also would be
unable to join; Germany took the same
course. In the mean time rumor reached

which acted as stimulant to the Sultan, who
categorically promised to surrender Dulcigno.

cert, which he said exists at this moment,
and he hoped it woald long continue, Aus

TIE IRISH "MALooNTENrs."
LONDON, Nov. 28.-The Observer under
stands that the first battalion of guards has
been ordered to Ireland. The Observer, in q
leading article, says: ssWhat the Irish NAL
contents desire is tho repeal of the union.
If the most extreme proposals of the land
leaguers were to be carried into effect, popu-
lar agitation against English rule would lose
nothing of its intensity. It is we'll nigh
idle to hope the Irish disaffection can be re-
moved by remedial legislation. Our inter-
est and duty, mutual. binds US to remove
any real grievances, but We have also got to
bring home to the Irish mind the conviction
that nationalist demands are inadmissable.
Things in Ireland are drifting towards q
crisis whose only possible outcome is only
another Fenian riot. The calamity can only
be averted by making it clear that no
amount of agitation will induce England to
yield to pretensious inconsistent with the
Welfare of the realm.''
TIE IRISH LAND QUESTION.
LONDON, Nov. 27.-The News in its leader
says the new Irish land bill will be beyond
question genuine and practicable effort to
settle the controversy.
Leonard Henry Courtney, one of the most
advanced liberal members of the house Of
commons, addressing his constituents at
Siskeard said if the resolution to forego
asking for coercive powers was based on the
opinion of the Irish executive that they were
unnecessary, he should bow to their more
intimate acquaintance with the situation.
but If it had been come to because one or
two persons of eminence, sitting at ease in
London meaning Bright and Chamberlain
had registered vow under no circumstance
to acquiesce IN requiring stronger powers for
governing Ireland, he should say such res
olutlon was mere superstitious adherence
to principles which could not command re-
spect. If the government had decided to
introduce an act to prevent carrying arms,
and midnight proving, he should have
given them his strongest support.
