Effects Of the G0vernnent's Measures
on the Work Of the Land League.


NEW YORK. Oct. q. Long specials say the
effect of the governments rigor is eneo9rag
ing. even in Ireland. In Dublin and iasge
towns, respectable people are not -aifald g
welcome the restoration Of order N 0s
country. The break up Of the central A.
thority of the League in Sackett street IL n
ready reducing ''boycotting, and many
..boycotted" products have appeared In the
markets. The leading classes are recovering
courage, and arranging for q meeting to sup
port the government. The Land Court mas
opened most satisfactory. A NUMBER OF
cases show that the tenantry appreciate the
land act. Evidence of the failure OF the
land league intimidation is afforded by large
numbers of applicants from Limerick, ana

Esan. the Land Lacquer, Replies to
Archbishop CrOKe.
LONDON, Oct. 90 The Dublin Freeman's
Journal publishes reply BY Egan, treasurer
of the land league, to the letter OF Arcn-
bishop Croke, protesting against the mani
festo of the league. He declares the Arch
bishop falls into two grave errors. Inc
original program of the league, he says, was
not ssfair rent" but abolition of landlordism

situation, and that when Davitt and the first
of the suspects were arrested. The gov
eminent has now thrown away all pretences
and appealed to brute force, and suppressed
all forms of constitutional expression. He
asks whether Archbishop Croke advises the
people to surrender at discretion, pay rent to
their jailors, and resuscitate the corpse OF
landlordism. The executive of the land
league have long and carefully considered
the ACCESSIBILITY of a strike against rent, and
believe that it is the only wise and courageous
course. They are confident that it must
secure a sure and speedy triumph.
Al Report Contradicted.
Observes the Dublin correspondent, re-
ferring to the reports that the United Ireland,
the league organ, was to be seized, says that
the government have decided that they can
not seize the paper, unless they believe a
reasonable conspiracy exists. They have,
therefore, decided to arrest any one taking
O'Brien's place of editor. There is war
rant out for the arrest of J. O'COnnor, who
conducted the paper last week.

clared carried.
