Parnell and O'Kelly were busy all day yester-
day receiving French journalists. They have
had Ions: interviews with Neuillot, Clemen-
ceau and the celebrated pen portraiturist of
Figaro, Ignotus." O'Kelly assures me to-
night that ever since the Land Leaguers have
been in Paris they have been followed day and
night by government detectives. Parnell tele-
graphed to Dublin today contradicting the
statement OF the London press agency to the
effect that the members of the Land League
in Paris assert that agrarian outrages in Ire
land were committed by the Fenian party to
damage the constitutional agitation organized
by the Land League, and that the revolver
carried by Davitt was to protect him
against possible Fenian attack. No member

LONDON, Feb. 17.-Joseph Chamberlain,
President of the Board of Trade, writing to

cult circumstances or with more troublesome
legacy from its predecessors than the present

demands the distasteful task of limiting her
constitutional liberties. When the present ir-
ritation has vanished and land bill shall
have been introduced he thinks it will restore
peace and confidence to Ireland.
The Times is informed that in one district
in the West of ireland, notorious as the scene
OF more than one scandalous Land League
victory, between 20 and 30 village tyrants
have quietly absconded since the second read
