special from Dublin says: Every day
brings fresh evidences Of the breaking
up Of the Land League influences. The
League In Tipperary has simply gone to
pieces since Archbishop Croks's letter.
Seventy farmers OF that county have
already applied fer . revision Of thsir
rent under the Land Act. There are
many applicants from Kerry also. The
government believes that they have
sootchsd the agitation. but they will not
dssist till they have killed II.
The Ladies' League. which some have
thought might keep the movement alive,

lar adviser. They are nov likely to
think that even they may DO arrested.
All that the government now fears 10

back into secret organizations. The ofa-

the members could be coueht meeting
there; but the remaining members are
careful about this legal point. The
authorities are also In a quandary about
