GREAT BRITAIN
WHITE BAIT DINNER.


LONDON, Aug. 1S.-A force of police ac
companied the steamer which last evening
conveyed the members of the British minis
try to Greenwich for the annual white bait
dinner, in consequence of several threatening
letters having been received. Gladstone, in
receiving deputation on the landing at
Greenwich, again specially emphasized the
imperative necessity of reforming the parlia-
mentary procedure.
-! PARNELL LEcTURED BY THE "TIMEs"
The Times in leading article says from
Parnell's remarks in the house yesterday it is
plain he is preparing for new campaign of
agitation. 1t is perfectly notorious that some
members of the land league in and out of par
lament have nothing bnt agitation to live by
Vas- contributions of Irishmen in America and
elsewhere 60 to pay the wages of men whose
only notion OF patriotism and of politics is to
use Irish grievances, real or imaginary, to
their own glorifcation and advancement
But the relations between England and Ireland
are now adjusted on basis of justice and rea-
sonable concession, and Irish members of par
lament cannot be too plainly told that the
time for forbearance IS past, and righteous
indignation may take its place.
The debate on the motion to go to the sup
ply bill continued. Forster, chief secretary
for Ireland, in his speech said nobody is more
anxious than the government to release the
land league prisoners, but before this is done
they must be convinced that peace and order
can be maintained without any re-
sort to exceptional powers. IF
influential men in Ireland would follow
Archbishop Croke's example, there would
soon be an end 10 all difficulty. Let them
give the land bill fair trial, and If they had
that fair trial, the government would be will
ling to concnrin the appeal made to abandon
the powers granted under the coercion act.
Gorman, home ruler, expressed the opinion
there could never be union between England
and Ireland until the clique at
Dublin Castle were, raised,' bag and
baggage. Gladstone said the. government
had been asked why they did not submit the
cases of those who offended against the law
to the tribunals of the country. This was
exactly what had been done, but such was the
state of Ireland, the judicial system was rem
dered ungatOny. The government would be
only to glad if they saw the time had arrived to
release prisoners, but during the debate threats
were used that unless the prisoners are released
there would be no fair trial of the land bill.
This sort of language could certainly have no
force in directing the government duty. 1t
was not by defiant speeches, nor by the tone
adopted by those who pointed across the At
lantic as the land from which the woes of Ire
lam would be assuaged, that the government
would be induced to accelerate by one day
opening fthe prison doors. The paramount
duty of the government was the preservation
OF law and order, but he said he fully adhered
to the declaration of Forster. He should
never be conscious instrument to unueces-
sary coercion. Parnell's motion, that the
coercion act had not been administered in ac-
cordance with the pledges of the ministry
when they induced parliament TO suspend the
constitution, was rejected, So to 30.
