BRITAIN'S REALM.
Leaguers versus Hunters - Flying
Columns Aiding I'm EvictiOns-The
"rtmes'' on the Outlook In Kre-
Iand-The Outrage Mm on Full
Tlme.


LONDON. November 23.-During a hunt
Of the Kildare. hounds three hounds were
poisoned st Sallino. The master of the
hounds has consequently stopped the
hunt and cancelled fixtures for the future.
A mob Of five hundred people attacked
the Armagh Hunt Club at Ballymscnab.
Many of the horses we're severely stoned.
Three arrests were made to day under the
coercion act, including the secretary Of the
Castletown branch OF the Land League.
The Times, in a leading article, says:
''We are unwilling to relinquish hope OF an
improvement IN Ireland, but cannot close
our eyes to the fact that the most recent
evidence points in the opposite direction.
1t is only too plain that after brief inter-
Val of hesitation a considerable section of
the people have decided to adhere to the no.
rent manifesto. 1t seems that the plan Of
dealing with the recalcitrant tenants county
by county has already been adopted IN Lei
trim and Cavan. Forty-two flying columns,
each consisting of five hundred soldiers and
police, have been detailed for protecting
those engaged In carrying out the laws.
In many places it is notorious that to pay
rent at all is as dangerous as it
was some time back to pay more
than Griffiths' valuation. The cattle
of parish priest have been mutilated be-
cause the owner denounced the Kilmainham
manifesto. If we have to deal with a
thoroughly issffected and disloyal popula-
tion, OF whom the tenant farmers and their
families do not form over half, it Is idle to
expect to restore order by holding out the
hope of q general reduction of rents. The
means at the disposal OF the government
are boundless, aud they are backed by the
resolute spirit of the whole population of
Great Britain. II the existing powers of
the executive are deemed inadequate others
must be granted. One thing only is impos-
sible, that Ireland should be delivered over
to a lawless faction, openly aiming at the
disruption OF the union"
The article is based on kilograms from
correspondents of the Times, detailing
numerous instances of outrage, such as
firing by an armed party into the house of
Lord Bossborough's agent at Pllltown,
county Kilkenny, the house being twenty
yards from the police barracks. Several
other cases Of firing into houses, all within
the last few DAYS, incendiary fires In Galway
and Kings counties, and placarding of
notices with bullets attached, threatening
death to rent payers.
The seriousness OF the situation is shown
by an article In the Dublin Freendn's Journal
earnestly appealing to the people not to
give the Executive any excuse for further
coercive action.
The Executives of the Land League in
Paris, after q correspondence with Mr.. Par
nell, have agreed to put forward for q va
cancy Mr.. Dsvitt as we'll as another caDdi-
date Of full legal qualification, probably DR..
Kenny or Mr.. Egan.

THE FREEDMAN'S BANK.
Connection of the Comptroller Of
the Currency with the Defunct In-
stItuttOn.

WASHINGTON, November 23-The Comp
troller of the Currency says that, judging
from inquiries contained in numerous let
ters received at his Office, the impression
seems to be quite general among those in
terested in the affairs of the Freedman Is
Savings and Trust Company that that insti.
tuition was under the supervision of his
Office previous to and at the time of its fail
ure. To correct this erroneous impression,
the Comptroller makes the following state
ment:
The institution was conducted entirely in
dependent of his office. There was Con-
gressional investigation Of the concern, the
result OF which was the appointment of
three commissioners, who were suhse-
quently authorized to wind up its affairs
10 save expense, the last Congress passed q
law placing the final closing OF it's affairs in
the hands of the Comptroller, aud that is::the
only connection Of the Comptroller's Office
with that institution.

PERU AND CHILL.
President CaIderOn and His Secre-
tary OF state Carried TO Santiago.

WASHINGTON, November 23.-Senor El-
more, the Peruvian Minister here, has re-
ceived cable advices from Peru, informing
him that President Calderon and Senator
Calves, the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
had been arrested on or about the 9th inst.
by the Chilians and takenlto Santiago, Chill.
He was also informed in this dispatch that
Minister Hurlbut would probably recognize
V. P. Montero as the constitutional
successor of Calderon. Senior Elmore says
that Minister Hurlbut was instructed by the
State Department on November 1st to con-
tinue to recognize Calderon, and that the
arrest of Calderon following so soon after
these instructions reached Peru leads him
to think that the Chilians are determined
to persist in their endesvOrs to break
up the constitutional government Of
Peru, Notwithstanding the continued
recognition of President Calderon by the
United States. In reply to an inquiry as to
the truth of the reported seizure of Presi-
dent Calderon by the Gillian forces, the
Chilian Minister, Mr.. Martinez, said he had
no official information of Calderon's seizure,
but had private advices, from which he
learned that Calderon was seized by the
Chilian commander of forces in Chill for
persisting In exercising acts of jurisdiction
which interfered with the occupying forces
in spite of the decree of the commander Of
the forces
