SUPPRESSION.
LONDON, June 1.-The correspondent of the
Edinburg Scotsman says: The statement that
at a meeting of the cabinet Saturday a pro-
posal was made to suspend all public meetings
IN Ireland for six months to suppress the land
league Is unfounded.
The Manchester Guardians London CORES
pondent says 1t Is not In the least likely that
the government has determined to deal with
the land league as an illegal organization,
but 1t Is understood that COMMUNICATIONS
have passed since the arrival in Dublin of
Forster, chief secretary for Ireland, which 60
to show the government are determined not to
delay using their powers under the coercion
act to crush intimidation. Forster will return
to London In time to attend to.morrow's cabi-
net meeting.
A dispatch from Longhra, county Galway,
says an agent has been shot near Woodford
for refusing to accept payment Of rent on the
basis Of Grifith's valuation.
DEAD AND DYING.
In the county Of Waterford, where the riot
occurred yesterday, growing out of the sale
Of tenants interests in farms, the people parad-
ed the streets all last night. About thirty
civilians are suffering from bayonet thrusts
and sword cuts, inflicted by soldiers. One
policeman died of his injuries, and some
mounted police are not expected to live.
MUST BE PUT DOWN.
The Times says the rumor that the govern.
ment intends to adopt stringent measures for
abating the terrorism of the Land League ap-
pears to have caused some excitement among
the leaders of the agitation, and Parliament
and the country have 'at length come to un-
derstand that the League is an aggressive or
ganization, and that if the law does not put 1t
down it will put down the law. Terrorism
must be suppressed, whether it takes the form
of vulgar, threatening letters, or assumes the
loftier type of dlctatlon.
THE CLoNMEL RIOT
New YORK, June Ia London cablegram
tells the story Of the origin and progress of the
riot at Clonmel, County Tipperary, Ire
land. When Moddart, agent of the emergency
committee, was leaving the court, he was re-
ceived with groans and Kisses. A priest was
passing ou. of the building when the crowd
made rush to enter. A policeman, in the
confusion, laid his hand on the priests arm.
At once cry went up s'Father Maker has been
arrested, "the crowd became fearfullY excited,
and the authorities at once concentrated the
full force of military and constabulary before
the court house. Bottles, stones and brick
bats were poured on the police and soldiers.
Capt. Stack, resident magistrate, threatened to
read the riot act, and at that moment police
man was knocked senseless at his side with
stone. Capt. Stack produced the act, and sew
eral priests implored him not to read it, as, If
he did, the consequences would be terrible.
The stone throwing did not cease, and as Capt.
Slack after reading the act pronounced the
words, "God save the Queen, stone smashed
the skull of another policeman standing be-
side him. The unfortunate man died last even
ing. The police charged on the people with
fixed bayonets, and at the same time the cav.
airy dashed in among the crowd. The scene
charge OF the cavalry down the short street
was SO impetuous that several horses
and riders dashed through shop windows
at the end of the street. The air was
filled with stones and bricks, and the fright
ened shop-keepers, who were endeavoring to
put up their shutters, were hurled to the
ground and ridden over. Several hussars
were unhorsed by the crowd and trampled
upon by the horses of their comrades coming
behind them. The charges through the
streets lasted fully half an hour. A portion
of the crowd fled, while others faced the
charging horsemen, battering in their helmets
with stones. The hussars used the flat of
their swords freely, the point and edge being
strictly forbidden them. One hussar, in
charging around corner, met with a
serious mishap. His horse stumbled and
ND GUn al Of
following swiftly fell over the PROSTATE horse
and rider. Before the men could recover
themselves their horses had galoped up the
street and the men had to defend themselves
from the mob until the were rescued. Owing
to the exertions Of the priests, several of
whom received many hard knocks, the people
were finally induced to disperse. A soldier of
injured his life is despaired of. The doctor
states that the man, if he recovers, will be In
sane. About thirty citizens were seriously
wounded.
POLICEMEN KILLED.
DUBLIN, June 1.-Reports have reached
Limerick that three policemen were killed DUR
ing the eviction riot in County Clare. Riot
ing In Clonmel was resumed to-day. All the
police and soldiers charged the mob, and
many people were wounded. The troops
finally cleared the streets.
1t is rumored six persons have been shot
dead at Tulla, near Ennis. A sanguinary COL
lision is also said to have occurred in the town
of Seariff, same county. The castle partisans
say the people are infamed to such pitch,
and are so demoralized by agitation, they are
ripe for any mischief. They are also flushed
with partial success over both the civil
and military power, and are be-
coming daily more daring. The
soldiery and police are incensed not merely
against the populace, but against the author
tiles, who will not permit them to defend
themselves. There Is some risk of this indig-
nant feeling assuming form dangerous to
discipline, and may lead to an irrepressible
outbreak of fury against the populace or acts
Of retaliation upon the inhabitants of the gar
