ham states inquiries have been made at lead
ing gunmakers there and replies received con
tirlning the reports of expectation of arms to
Ireland. Large orders have been and are now

AMELIORATIvE MEASURES.
LONDON, Jan. A dispatch from
Dublin says: 1t is rumored in official cir

nounce Friday that in consequence OF
intimidation in the queens speech that
ameliOrative measures are to be immedi-
ately submitted in the house of commons,
and the prosecution of the traversers
will be abandoned.
The Times, in leading editorial says
no grants of money from the imperial
cxchequer will be demanded of parlia-
ment as part of the land bill, though
possibly the remnant of the Irish church
surplus may be used to aid emigration
and reclamation of waste land. The
ministry will not ask parliament to sane
ton any allocution Of public money OF
any pledging of public credit to carry out
land reform.
LORD DUFFERIN's VIEWS.
LONDON, Jan. 4.--Lord Dnfferrin has pub
lished paper on the Irish land question in
which he strongly condemns the present agi-
tation, and pointing out that the sale of ten
ants interest has Il tendency to saddle hold
ings perpetually with double rents, and Inc
says. the system, if granted, would only further
encourage new set of agitatOrs to endcavOr
to dispossess landlords of the remaining
vestages of their rights. Lord Duffcrin
faycrs a system copied from that adopted at
the enfranchiscmcnt of Russian serfs, namely
buying up of large portion of land in Ireland
and conversion of rents into land charges
payable to the State for the ehr0nlcally power
ty-strckcn districts of the West. He recon-
mcnds a great system of State aid to emmigra-
ton to Manitoba and the Northwest of Canada,
to be worked. with the cooperation of the
Dominion government. He points out that as
the Catholic church is. supreme in those
ports the clergy of Ireland will not oppose en-
igration thither as they do emigration to the
United States.
The Times remarks that Lord Duflerni's sug-
gestions, although interesting, don't forecast
a land bill, as the government will not make
grants from the eXchcqucr or pledge the
credit of the country.
