LONDON, May Following are the
salient points in Brennan's speech, for which
he was arrested at Dublin yesterday
We see now the landlords proving true to their
past traditions as enemies of the people by the way
in which they showeIing notices of ejectment
throughout The country. ask you if such proceed
ings ever took place in any other country-say
England? Ii 200 000 people in England were threat
ened with determination from their homes, what do
you think would be the result? IA voice, "Revo-
luton."l
Mr.. Brennan Yes, revolution. tCheers.I The
very ground would be stained with blood, and the
English people would hurl from power any Govern
1nent that permitted it. [Cheerst Let US have no
more nibbing with this question, but let every
in Ireland who pays rent, only pay rent when he is
forced to do it at the point OF the bayonet Let
them bring their bailiffs, sheriffs ard soldiers
these hired mercenaries who recruited from the
slups Of England and brought here to shoot down
the Irish people. Groaus. Allow rent only to be
collected when they have put all their machinery in
force. You should do this with regard to all writs
for the recovery of rents and as for the recovery
OF possession and notices of ejectment, you should
treat them just in the same way.

THE ARREST OF FATHER Shelby IND DILLON.
LONDON, May 2tth.-In the House Of
Commons to-day, O'Donnell, Home Ruler
member for Dungarven, speaking in support
of the resolution on the arrest of Father
Sheehy and Dillon, made bitter attack on
Forster, Chief Secretary for Ireland. he
said the ares. of Father Shelby excited even
stronger feeling than if Archbishop Croke
had been arrested. Il was perhaps deemed
safer to arrest curate than an Archbishop,
but though the set was cowardly 1t was by
no means safe. He proceeded to attack the
Government for assisting to eyiot poverty
stricken people, and stignatized the recent
circular urging the police to greater vigilance
as a direct Indictment to the fabrication Of
el idenoe.
Forster said he refused to dwell upon
O'Donnel's assertions because they are un-
founded. He had hitherto refrained from
entering upon the particulars of billions ar
rest because he feared it might endanger the
safety and even the lives of particular indi-
viduals. He then proceeded to quote from
the incendiary speeches of Dillon and Father
Sheehy. Forster admitted that the Govern
ment had proclaimed Dublin in order to be
able to arrest Dillon. They could not, be
said, arrest people for "Boycotting"
where it only meant exclusive dealing,
but when it put people in personal danger
they had made arrests, and would do so
again. If the Government saw q conspiracy
to commit robbery by armed resistance to the
law, they would not allow the conspiracy to
succeed, even though the persons to be robbed
were landlords. They would arrest the in
stigators and abettors of outrages, were they
members Of Parliament or of the Land
League, or clergymen. He looked forward,
he said, with some alarm at what was going
on, but hoped that by sending an overwhelm-
ing force wherever resistance was expected
they would be able to maintain peace.
O'Sulivan, Home Rule member for Linn
erick county, moved an adjournment CT the
debate.
Callan (Liberal), member for Louth,
seconded the motion.
Gladstone charged the Irish members with
not daring to face division of the resolution
Parnell supported the motion for an ad-
journment. In the debate he charged the
Government with obtaining the Coercion Act
by false pretenses, and by. gagging the IRISH
members; but they would not, he said, sue
coed in silencing them again.
Callan was speaking at p ~, when the
debate was adjourned, in accordance with
the standing orders.
