FOUGHT TO SOME PURPOSE.
Special Cable.
LONDON, Feb. 2G-The Coercion bill hay-
ing passed the House Of Commons last night,
after occupying the attention of Far
lament during nearly two months, the
Irish Obstruetlonists can congratulate
themselves after all on having delayed the
obnoxious measure to some purpose. They
have shorn harsh law Of some Of its ter
rors, and no inconsiderable part of its dura-
ton. The Government. having paciied Mr..
Forster by giving exceptional powers to the
Irish Executive, is said to be disposed to use
these powers sparinsly. Possibly it
may be so, since the Government has
limited that If the improvement in the
state Of Ireland continues, Mr. Gladstone
probably will not proceed with the Arms bill,
his second measure for
MAKING IRELAND HAPPY.
People in ireland seem disposed to await pa
tiently Mr. GIapstoue's Land bill. The
best advice to Irish people would be to
so govern their actions as to avoid
the necessity Of It's application to them.
AS Mr.. Cowen, the member for Newcastle,
who proved himself, with Mr.. Labouchere,
to be such sterling friend of ireland, said
in recent speech: "Insurrection in ireland
would be made a criminal enterprise"
THREATENING BY CABLE.
To the Tester1, associated Press
LONDON. Feb. 2G-Sir William Vernon
Harcourt, Home Secretary, received last
evening a cablegram from John Devoy, Of
New York, saying lie, the Secretary, should
answer with his life for his language in the
House of Commons referring to Deyoy.
pARNELL-
Parnell telegraphs that lie has had IN in
terview with the Bishop Of Paris, and was
cordially received.
OBSTRUCTION TO BE CONTINUED.
The Standard says: The Irish members
Of the Commons intend. by prolongillg dis
cussion, to prevent the War Secretary from
moving the estimates. There is strong im-
preston that the Government will be una
Bile to obtain supplies for the army without
proposing urgency.
PAl1SELL's WORK IN PARIS.
Parnell's appeal to Victor Hugo asks the
author to use his pen in behalf Of Ireland,
alleging that it is battle of 100000 work
ingmen struggling for the right to live by
their labor in their own land against small,
privileged class OF landlords.
QKELLY
has written to Archbishop McCabe, Defend
ing the course taken by himself and Parnel1
in the recent negotiations with the Partisan
press, and protesting against the letters Of
men like Beliingham and Errington. Parnell
was received to-day by the Archbishop Of
Paris, who counse1ed moderation.
TIE FINANCIAL SECRETARY OF TIE TREAS
URY
intends to move in the Commons Tuesday
for a seasonal order limiting the scope of
which may be moved when
supply is the first order Of the day on Mo,l-
day. In the absence Of this order, it would
be possible Monday for amendments to be
moved on any subject It is understood the
IIome-RuleTs intend to avail themselves of
this privilege to all extent that precludes all
hope of vote for the number of men in the
army being taken, and even threatens to de-
fer the statement of the Secretary of War.
EVICTION.
DUBLIN, Feb. 26.-Lord Annerly's threat
to evict all tenants on his Longford estates,
and take into his own hands about one-third
the entire county, has directed attention to
the black shadow Of eviction which is loom
Ing over vast number of farmers in Ire ]
land. The tenants may at present be divided |
into three classes: First, those who are will |
Ing to pay, but are afraid to; second, those |
who can pay but will not; third, those |
neither able nor willing to pay. |
The first class are very numerous. |
They already show signs, as Dillon says, of
giving way. The, second class, it is pre-
,uned, will follow the example of the first,
out i'll respect to the third class it is feared |
sreat difficulty will arise With those who
cannot pay.
UNDER THE COERCION BILL
t will be impossible to resist eviction. The
actics which have worked so successfully
heretofore will be utterly useless now, be-
:ause every person resisting process-server
" Bailiff will be liable to arrest on the spot
md Imprisonment for eighteen months with
tut trial.

DUBLIN, Feb. 2G.-The amount of money
invested by the Land League is considerably
lnder e5o,0oo, principally in American Sc
urities. 4 portion will be. placed in the
french securities, but Gambetta's hostility
las caused complications in that direction.
