THE IRISH AGITATION.
Landlords Alarmed at the Reduc-
t1ons in Rent.
THE LADIES LAND LEAGUES TO BE
SUPPRESSED.

ATrLEoNE, Ireland, Nov. IA large meet
ing of tenants upon the estate OF Sir John
Ennis have resolved to demand an abatement
of rents, and in case of refusal they will apply
to the Land Court. There are upwards of 5000
tenants on his estate.
LONDON, Nov. THE Dublin correspondent
of the Times says:-"There can be little doubt
that there will be many appeals from the de-
cisions of the sub-commissioners under the
land act to the central court at Dublin. 1t Is
understood there are legal grounds Tor i'm
peaching some of their decisions The land
owners view the great reduction IN rents made
with alarm, and they apprehend that if the
same principle is carried out their property
will be confiscated to large extent and a
number ruined They believe that the prin-
cipe the commission adopted at Belfast in fix
ing rents will hold out a premium to the indo-
lent and incompetent farmer and visit the in
dulgent landlord with the penalty.
Lord O'Hagan, the retiring Lord Chancellor
of Ireland, has been appointed knight OF ST.
Patrick.
Mr.. Parnell was interviewed by two promi-
nent members of the Home Rule League on
Saturday. He said the recent judgments at
Belfast agreed with his estimates that the rents
in Ulster should be reduced to Grifhth'S valua-
ton. He believed the reductions in the south
of Ireland would not be as large, and conse-
quently would not satisfy the tenants. Any
general reduction of rents to Gritfiths yalua-
ton would, because of the extent to which
land is mOrtgaged, deprive landlords of the
means of living and compel the Government
to buy out or compromise. This would DEM
onstrate the soundness of the view enunciated
by the League Mr.. Parnell admitted the pos
sibility of many tenants settling directly with
their landlords.
Police we're stationed ut the doors yesterday

der the recent offer to redeem them at par and

WASHINGTON, Nov. THE Washington
Post this morning, claiming to- speak with au-

which the President was alleged to have re-
buked Mr.. MacVeagh, says:-"Gen. Arthur is
so much of a gentleman that he could not
have used the tone, language and manner de-
scribed to him by the veracious chronicler. In
the second place. he never has had the oppor-

while he did not think it proper for him to dis
cuss the nature of business transacted at that
meeting, he has no hesitation in saying that
the published account of the proceedings is en-
tirely without foundation. Nothing occurred
which would warrant the assertion that there
was any exhibition of feeling on the part of
either gentlemen mentioned Questions under
consideration were discussed in most friendly
spirit, without excitement or disagreement,
and no personal criticisms were made by any

the forgeries committed by Capt. j. q. Dubois,
member of the board of trade, amount to
over $50 600. A few days ago bills of lading
on hides were forged for $4,000 on which were
obtained $1,000 from Goetz & Guneining,
Milwaukee firm. The name of W. E. Bridge,
local freight agent of the Chicgo and Alton r.
r., was forged to bills which, with $1,000
draft, were sent to Milwaukee and paid. A
Boston firm loses $4,000. A bank here is out
about $4,000. 1t is thought that Dubois has
gone to Mexico end that he took $4,000 or
$15, COO with him.
ST.. LOUIS, Nov. IA Kansas City special

GEN. SHERMAN'S REPORT.

An Increase of the Army Recommended.
WASHINGTON, Nov. THE annual report of
the General of the Army to the Secretary of
War is made public to-day After reviewing
the history of the Indian question during the
year Gen. Sherman says: Our companies are
too small for efficient discipline and for eco
nomical service. do most earnestly ask tho
honorable Secretary of War to apply to Com
gress to repeal that clause of the existing law
which limits the enlisted force of the army to
q, 900 men, aud to enact that each company
In the armv may be enlisted to at least fifty
privates, making sixty-two enlisted men and
three officers to earh of the 430 companies,
thus increasing the army proper to 26660 en-
listed men, which number in practice Will
probably never exceed $1,000. This should
form the conb ata 1T force and as experience
and universal practice demonstrated the neces-
sity for another or non-combatant force, |
further urge that special provision be made by
law for total of 37S9 for all purposes, which
number added to the 26660 will make the
total enlisted force of every nature and kind
of 30,449.
Many of the Notifications and coast defenses
now employing the time of the army to garri-
son. are absolutely of no use, present or pro-
spective. He recommends the whole question
of coast defense be submitted to board of
high officers.
