ENGLAND AND IRELAND.
English Speculations on the Effect of the
Absence of the Land League Leaders
COntradieted by Their Return After the
Coercion Bill is Passed They Will go
Arrest Under That Bill.
THE IRISH AGITATION.


LONDON, Feb, 12.--At the Longprea
session, one Haden, land Lacquer, has
been sentenced to three months impris-
onment and bound over to keep the peace
for one year for seditious speech, IN
which he declared himself an Irish re-
publican, owing no allegiance to the Brit
ish crown and calling on his hearers to
strike final blow for the independence of
Ireland
In the commons last night O'Donnell,
home rule leader from Dugarvan, moved
to omit high treason from the list of
crimes, on suspicion of which persons are
liable to arrest under the bill for protect
ion of person and property in Ireland. He
declared there was not a scrap of evidence
of the existence of a reasonable move
ment Right Hon. Hugh Law, attorney
general for Ireland, said that documents
had been found i'm circulation indicating
the existence of reasonable conspiracy
and gave as an instance recent Fenian
proclamation Forster, chief secretary
for ireland, added that the government
had reason to believe there were a few
persons IN Ireland who were capable of
taking advantage of the present excite
ment TO incite reasonable practices. The
O'Donnell amendment was then rejected
DUBLIN, Feb 12.-The nationalist press
denounces the arrest of Davitt, but there
is marked moderation in the tone of
most of the articles They advise the
leaguers to stand firm and not leave the
country. Flight would, they say, give
more satisfaction to the government than
their arrest. The toiling men in Ameri-
ca, who have contributed largely toward
the land league fund, will naturally not
be pleased with anything like astampede
from Ireland to escape from tyranny. If
Parnell and Brennan go to America and
Egan remains in Paris, 1t looks as if the
organization was about to be left in care
of the ladies. They are hardly equal to
the difficult task likely to be delegated to
them by the superior six.
The London correspondent of the
Manchester Guardian, says: Parnell, by
his continued absence, is endangering so
much of his position as remains to him.
He has virtually abdicated the leadership
of the Irish party in parliament, which
is now utterly disorganiZed. O'Kelly
and Barry have not been in the House
for week, and their whereabouts IS I'M
known:
The FTeenadn's Journal says: The fact
that Parnell did not remain all the time
in Paris was due to friendly intimation
that the French government is not to be
depended on in case of an emergency to
fully recognize the rights of private in
dividuals to control money invested in
their names. Parnell, O'Kelly, Eagan,
Harris, Brennan, Dillon and Biggar held
consultation IN Paris afterwards. Par
nell, Dillon, Blggar and O'Kelly
returned to London to par
ticipate in Mondays sitting in
the commons, Eagan will remain in Paris.
The others return to London Monday or
Tuesday. Walsh is still in London. After
passage of the coercion bill about dozen
Irish members, including O'Kelly,
O'Donoghue, Arthur, O'Connor, Biggar
and Redmond, will proceed to Ireland to
address their constituencies and carry
out the further organization of the land
league.
LONDON; Feb 1.-THE parliamentary
committee of the home rule party have
decided that as soon as the protection
bill is passed, about a dozen members
will proceed to Ireland and hold meet
ings, leaving to the government the re-
sponsibility Of arresting them.
