DUBLIN, Jan. Talbot Trahne, a
man of Tralee, and member of Fierer's
branch of the land league, has been ar
rested
LONDON, Jan. THE Times says we
are informed the Pope has written let
ter to the Archbishop of Dublin, of
which the foreign Office has authentic in
formation, strongly condemning the
method in which agitatio in
Ireland is conducted; that very en-
phatic instructions have been issued to
Catholic prelates enjoining them to make
a stand against anarchial and commu-
nistic doctrine, and which has been
preached and put into practice A dis
patch from Dublin, says: "The report
of the land commissioner has been sent
to the government. The report
expresses views of three COM
missioners, two dissenting"
LONDON. Jan. 3.--Three Irish land COM
missioners, in the third report sent to the
government, recommend the adoption of
three features. fair rent, free sales, and
fixity of tenure. They admit the princi-
pie of free contract, but intimate that
practically such freedom does not exist.
They propose that the rent be fixed by
arbitrators, one representing the tenant
and the other the land court, with power
to summon an umpire if necessary, and
that the rent, when fixed, is to remain
unchanged for twenty years. They
would take away the power Of eviction ex-
cept for nou-payment of rent, sub
letting or waste. Occupying tenants
are not to be allowed to contract them
sslves out of the act, but non occupy
ing tenants are to be allowed 10 do SO,
subject to certain limitations, and corpo-
ration and limited owners should be
allowed to sell the amount of annual
payment not to exceed the present rent.
The commissioners recommending the
adoption of these features are Lord Bless
borough, Baron Dows and VIM. Shaw,
and the dissenters are Kavanagh aud
the O'Connor.
The Times says: sIt is not improbable
that Parnell at the moment when he has
to stand trial on criminal charge, when
he has challenged not only the British
government but the imperial parliment to
combat, may find popular support in Ire
land crumbling under his feet"
LONDON, Jan. THE Standard says the
Irish members have decided to Systematically
obstruct the progress of the coercion bill
through parliam ent.
O'Kelly's motion to adjourn was rejected by
301 to 3S. Forster, chief secretary for Ireland,
replying to question put by Right Honorable
Mr.. ellison, conservative, stated that 153 per-
sons were under police protection in Ireland
and there had been 17S agrarian outrages up
to the end of December. The debate on the
address in reply to the speech from the throne
was resumed. Parnell charged the London
press with entering into conspiracy against
the good name of ireland. He defended the
actions of the land league, which
he declared had always reprobated
amendment to the address, declaring the
peace of Ireland could not be promoted by sus-
pending the rights of the people. Forster said
Parnell must have known that the result of his
speeches would be the committal of outrages.
O'Donnell and O'Connor rose to a question of
order, and the Speaker ruled that Forster was
in order. After strong speech from ellison,
attacking the government for its dilatoriness,
and denouncing the Land league, the debate
was adjourned.
LONDON, Jan. IA dispatch from Dnblin
says the government is actively and deter
minedly suppressing the practice of boycott
ting. The constabulary have been instructed
to attend fairs and markets to prevent it. Sew
eral persons have already been prosecuted for
boycotting.
DUBLIN, Jan. 7.-Fory and ten other promi-
ncnt members of the Annoghdown branch of
the land leage have been arrested and re-
