The Land League yesterday held
its last public meeting for the pres
ent. The Rev. Mr.. Cantwell pre-
sided. There was crowded at
tendance, including #. D. Sullivan,
J. G. Biggar and Edmund Leamy,
members OF Parliament. The Sec.
rotary announced that the weeks
receipts amounted to s22S7, OF
which el784 were from America.
He read a long manifesto. 1t states
that the League is now unable to
present test cases to the new Land
Courts, and there is only one con.
stituti0nal weapon left which the
League has previously hesitated to
use. The Executive. Committee
advises the members of the League
henceforth to pay no rent until the
leaders are released. The Chair.
man said the present was the time
for acting, not for speaking. The
leaders might be arrested, but the
priesthood remained to guide the
people. He counseled passive re-
sistance.
The disturbances In Dublin are
carried on nearly altogether by
mischievous boys, who break the
windows of the houses of all par
ties indiscriminately.
A Dublin correspondent says by
cable that the phase Of excitement
in Dublin has entirely changed.
Originally caused by political ar
rest, 1t has merged into exaspera-
ton against the police, In which,
1t must be said, all classes join.
This is the only thing now talked
of, and possibly the attitude of the
police may cause disturbance in
cases where mere political resent.
ment never would have done so.
Mr.. Forster's reply to the Lord
Mayor and corporation to-day will
exasperAte the people still
more, and it is difficult to
predict the consequences. Mr..
Forster received u deputatiop
of the corporation, who had come
to protest against "the osten tati ous
display OF the police force" with
some impatience and told them, in
effect, that the police had acted un-
der orders, and would do the same
thing again, II necessary. Finally
he waived the Lord Mayor and
others out of the room with actual
discourtesy. 1t was certainly gall
ing to the Chief Executive of the
oity and to the corporation that
they should not DO consulted re.

to the wanton brutality Of the po-
lice. It was dangerous to 60 out
Into the streets, not on account Of
the mob, but on account Of the
