Bloody Riot-A Bayonet Charge by the
 ConstabuIary-Land League Officers
 Arrested-A Military Commissioners
 View of the Situation.
 DUBLIN. Jan. 5.-Information has been received from Newbrook, near Claremorris, stating that serious encounter between the constabulary and the people occurred there last night. The local magistrate read the riot act but that failing to cause the mob to disperse, the constabulary charged upon them with fixed bayonets. Several persons were desperately wounded, some of whom it is expected will die.
 At Tralee tonight after meeting of the Land League, the police surrounded the building and arrested MT. Harrington of the Kerry Sentinel, secretary of the league; Mr. Brassill, under secretary; MT. O'Rourke, treasurer, and Messrs. Lyons, Kelly and Power, on the charge of sedition. The pris- oners were regularly held to bail. In all the decisions thus far made it is evident that the courts purpose is to uphold the government and that the Land Leaguers have no favors to expect All the meetings of the magistrates have been antagonistic to the ''Boycotters,' and so far as the courts are concerned the so- called Obnoxious" individuals throughout the country will receive the protection of the courts. The inquiries were mainly directed as to the object of 'fBoycotting''
 The State trials came to a sudden termina- tion this afternoon and the traversers were remanded, bail being refused.
 LONDON, Jan. 5.-A military commissioner of high rank, who has been making investi- gations in Ireland, has forwarded to the gov ernment full report of his observations and opinions, of which the following is synop- sis First, no actual organized rising is feared at present. A determined leader might have originated a rising, but the pre- cautionary measure of dispatching extra forces throughout the country which have been adopted have greatly lessened the prob ability of such an occurrence. Second, there is no occasion to fear that the presence of additional forces will aggravate the dis orders occurring daily. Third. if her majes- tvs government at once take strict measures for the repression of lawlessness, a peaceful solution of the present difficulties and ces- sation of the outrages and disturbances may be looked for with confidence. People well with the intentions of the Land League state that 8 rising was never intend ed, at least not at the present time
 The police, while protecting some process sions at Swineford, were repeatedly and de- terminedly attacked by mob.

The Adjutant Generals Report


 The annual report of Adjutant General Harland, which was received in the Senate yes- terday, shows that the National Guard of the State is composed of 2,914 men, of whom 1S3 are commissioned officers. The decrease in membership for the year has been 163. The Adjutant General recommends that law be enacted fixing the same fine for absence from muster as for absence from parades and en- campments, and that companies mastering less than 60 per cent. or receiving less than 75 per cent of credits be disbanded. At the muster last fall the per cent. present of entire force was .72 against percentage of TT in 1879.
 The expenses of the National Guard for the year were $S8, eos. 67, while the total expendi- lures for the Governors Guard amounted to $15, ,O21. OS. The Adiutant General does not favor the keeping up of the companies to the maximum of eighty-two officers and men, as tho equipping and uniforming of the force would create an expense from which the State would not receive a corresponding ben eft" For this reason he again expresses his approval of the limitation to sixty-six officers and men per company.
 The Adjutant General also favors having the regimental paymasters pay the members of the commands to which they belong, in- stead of allowing the captains of companies to pay the same. This, he says, would save any opportunity for irregularities and would result in placing the mems pay where it prop erly belongs

The Contest for the Senatorship.
 PORTLAND, Jan. 5.-Mr. Hale's friends now claim majority of ten votes for United States Senator. That means ffty-nine votes in the caucus. If there is mistake of six votes in the calculation Mr. Hale cannot be nominated on the first. ballot. Mir. Frye's friends believe that an allowance of fifteen votes should be made. They do not claim majority for Mir. Frye, but they think thas in time he will have 8 majority and they hope to stave off the caucus until next week The election will be held on the 18th inst, two weeks from to-day. MT. Hale is here in per- son, with Mr. s. S. Marble as chief of the staff MT. Frye is represented by Judge Wing of Auburn, and Mir. J. W. Wakefield, of Bath.
