If some Of the speakers do not bring
themselves within the grasp Of the

that Mr. Forster will not order the arrest OF

THE GOVERNMENTS RESOLVE
to proceed with the Irish Disarming bill was
due partly to Conservative pressure, but
mainly to the conviction Of the inexpediency
Of relinquishing its original program in
the face of the determination OF the League
to pursue agitation. Mr.. Dillon's perform
ances in Ireland in recognizing the League
III anticipation of coercion confirmed tho
Ministers purpose. The result abundantly
yindicates their decision.

AGITATION
produced greater sensation than Sir VIII
! lam Harcourts demonstration Of the
| objects Of the League in armlng

lon's confession that he wanted

| gretted that the. Irish had not arms
enough to undertake civil war.
No disclaimers OF Mr.. Dillon's confeder-
ates nave diminished the effect Of
this declaration. Sir William Harcourt,

substantiated that the doctrine Of the League
IS treason and assassination. The Parnellites,
though meaning to renew obstruction, have

jority of them going to ireland to attempt
to restore confidence among their adherents.
ENGLISH RADICALS
say that Mr.. Dlllcn's speech makes 1t impos-
sible for them to continue to act with him.
The League organ in Dublin, while de-
ploring Mr.. Dillon's imprudence in adyocat-
ing civil war, declares that most Irishmen
agree with him in their hearts. Mr.. Parnell's
speech last night made no impression. The
Irish are dissatisfied with both Dillon and
Parnell. The latter returns to Paris and
Dillon to Ireland. No real leader Of the
parliamentary faction remains.

DUBLIN, March Sit was understood this
morning that Mr.. John Dillon, II. p, who
left London to-day, was to be summoned,
OIL his arrival in Dublin this evening,
to appear at the Borrisokane Petty
Sessions on Wednesday next to show cause
why criminal infOrmations should not be
filed against him for his speech at Borriso-
kane last Sunday. Mr. Dillon returned to
Dublin this evening by the mail train, but
the authorities did not serve the summons,
as expected. At the last moment in
structions had been received to suspend
any action until Monday, rs it had
not been decided whether Mr.. Dillon should
be arrested on warrant or proceeded agains
by summons. 1t is believed that the Home
Secretary is
IN FAVOR OF ARREsT1NG Mr.. DILLON,
and it is expected that this course
will be carried out on Monday. To-day
Mr.. Jeremiah Stringer. q detective,
went to Borresokane, and swore
out informatlons against Mr.. Dillon
for his "Boycotting" speech there last
Sunday. Mr.. Strlnger returned to
Dublin this evening after getting
the informations signed, but he found
instructions had been given to suspend
the warrant until Monday. There was
some doubt expressed as to whether Dlr.
Dillon would appear, but, by arresting him,
the authorities will compel him to give bail
for his appearance on Wednesday next. No
arrests have yet been made under the Coer-
cion act, and none are expected until Mon
day or Tuesday.
