Another Destructive Earthquake in
DUBLIN, April 1.-The Irish Catholic
Bishops are to hold meeting of the Episcopal
body on Tuesday to consider the Land bill and
determine if possible upon some course of
united action in regard thereto The i'm
portance attached to the subject is marked
emphatically by the holding of the meeting on
Tuesday of Holy Week, date of the greatest
inconvenience for Bishops, who must alla be
back in their respective dioceses on Wednes-
day night to celebrate the functions of Manu.
day-Thursday. Nothing but sense of the
greatest urgency could have caused the meet
ing to be held at such time. The meeting is
convoked not by the Primate Archbishop of
Armagh, but by Archbishop McCabe of Dublin.
1t is assumed that he must have been especial
ly empowered by the Pope to exercise this act
of authority, which he could not do under
ordinary circumstances. If this surmise is cor
rect, and it is not easy otherwise to account for
the convocation of the whole Episcopal body
of Ireland by the Archbishop of Dublin, it
would indicate that the Holy See is determin-
ed to throw in the weight of its influence with
the moderate section of the hierarchy and to
restrain the clergy from favoring excessive
popular demands.
Parnell on the Land Bill.
NEW YORK, April lin an interview yes
terday at Dublin, Mr.. Parnell said that sitter
the enactment of the Land bill we shall use
the resources of the organization of the
League to enable farmers to make the best of
its intricate provisions. The complete organ
League will, undoubtedly, enable us to over
come many of its defects, and make the most
of any advantages which it offers l think
the measure on the whole will head to very
remarkable results, if our people maintain
their organization and are assisted, as up to
help of America. With these advantages,
trust that in the course of a few years it will
laad to the fulfillment of Michael Davitt's
programme, the abolition of landlordism and
the prosperity of our country.
