FOREIGN NEWS.

LONDON, October "a Several more
arrests under the coercion act were
made in Ireland to-day, inclc ding
that of Miss Habnell, of Bally De
hab, for persis ing in exhibiting a
copy of the no rent manifesto in a
window of her house.
A Dublin correspondent says the
accounts from the different parts of
the country since the PRONUNCIATION
Of the proclamation against the
Land League have been satisfactory.
There has been no disturbance Of
business and the people are much re
lieved.
The steamer Alexandria, of Wall
mo, Sweden, bound for that port
from New Castle, with a crew of 20
men, 6 adult passengers and 4 chill
dren, all Swedes, returning from
America on visits to their friends, is
now a week overdue, and it is feared
she has been lost in the recent gale.
1t appears that only between
twenty and thirty persons were
drowned by the 'foundering of the
steamer Clara McDuff. Some of her
passengers, comprising part of the
Aldrical Company, bound for Bonn
bay, having been rescued. The dis
aster was caused by a leak in the
vessel, and the water extinguished
the fires in the furnaces.

The Mesne Troubles.

LONDON, October 22.-The Dublin
Freemen's Journal publishes reply by
Egar, the treasurer of the land league to the
letter of Archbishop Croke, protesting
against the League manifesto He declares
that the Archbishop falls into two grave
errors. The original programme of the
leave, he says, was not fair rent" but the
abolition of the landlordism. There is no COM
parison between the present situation and
that when Davitt and the first of the suspects
were arrested. The government has thrown
away all pretences and appealed to brute
force and suppressed all forms of constitu-
tional expression. He asks whether arch
bishop Crake advises the people to surren-
der at discretion and pay rent to their real
jailers and resuscitate the corps of lanlord-
ism. executives of the land league have long
and carefully considered the advisabiity of
strike against rent and believe it the only
wise and courageous course. They are con-
fident that it must secure sure and speedy
triumph. Aresolption adopted by the bishop
and clergy of County Kildare is published,
indorsing Archbishop Croke's letter. E.
Dwyer Gray will move in the town council
of Dublin Tuesday next that the freedom of
the city be conferred on Parnell.
There were two more arrests to-day under
the coercion act. The rules relative to doc
tors visits TO the imprisoned suspects
have been modified Five herring boats
were lost off Dundee in a recent storm.
Two hundred vessels are wind bound in
the Frith-of-Fort
Walsh and Simpson, suspects, have been
released from Kilmainham on account of
health.
A troop ship, with two battalions, arrived
at Kings.own to-day, bot the men were un-
able to disembark, owing to a storm.
A railway collision has occurred near Lei
cesser, by which three persons were killed
and many terribly injured.

Ex Postmaster-G General Key In
terviewed.

NASHVILLE, October 24.-In an in.
terview yesterday ex Postmaster
General Key said: "In the summer
of 1879 sent General Tyner to in>
vestigate the service on the Pacific
coast. Tyner returned in the autumn
and submitted written report. Key
read it and told Tyner if the report
was publ shed there would be row
and that Brady would feel
that bis territory had been in>
vaded, and advising him (Tyne,)
to have conference with Brady, and
that he believed Brady to be honest
and capable. A private examination
showed, in every instance, Brady s
action was sustained by the repo, Is
made to the department. Judge Key
said he had no doubt that the de-
partment had been imposed upon L
some instances and expressed the
strongest confidence in the honesty
of Brady and Tyner. He referred
also to the fact, as an indication of
the approval of his conduct, that
Congress considered recommenda-
tions made by himself and Brady,
and made appropriations to supply
deficiency as recommended.
