LONDON, March 9.-The Times CORES
pondent at Dublin says: "Mr. Walsh, who
was arrested yesterday, has been known for
some time as an outspoken politician. His
connection with the Land League is some
what broadly marked by his extreme views,
but outside of his own district he has not
been much heard Of on the public platforms
of the Leaguers. The last meeting he at
tended was on the 39th Of January. The
whole reception Of the prisoners at Dublin
was not inspiriting.
"At a meeting of the League yesterday the
following resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, A general union is taking
place between the Protestants and Catho-
lies in Ulster, Ia the cause Of the League,
therefore, be 1t
'Resolved, That we earnestly appeal to the
Catholics in Ulster, to hold no demonstra-
tions on st. Patrick's day, in order to
prevent religious discord."
Mr.. Dillon said the men OF the county OF
Derry have already consented to abandon
their procession.
The suspension Of Mr.. O'Donnell In the
House of Commons last night was owing to
the following reasons: Mr.. Finnegan haV-
ing accused Lne treasury bencn
of ''beastly believing" the Chair
man demanded the withdrawal of the
expression, and Mr.. Flnnegan complied.
Mr.. O'Donnell, who had been among those
who protested against the words being at
tributed to Mr.. Finnegan, rose to point OF
order, but the Chairman ruled that the In
cident had been concluded. Mr.. O'Dcnnell
persisted in his attempt to get hearing,
but the Chairman "name0" him, and Sir
VIM. Harcourt, amid loud cries OF "shame"
by the Home Rulers, moved his suspension.
The Chairman having left the chair the
Speaker was sent for.
Mr.. Parnell and others took exception
to the Chairman's report on the ground that
he did not 'name" Mr.. O'Donnell by name.
Sir William Harcourt asserted that he
heard Mr.. Playfair use the words "Mr.
O'Donnell.n
The Speaker ended the discussion by
ruling that no question OF order could De
entertained, and then Immediately put the
question that Mr.. O'Donnell be suspended.
The motion was adopted by vote of 143 to
81, and Mr.. O'Donnell withdrew from the
House. The Home Rulers intend to raise q
question of privilege on Mr.. Playfair's ruling.
John Nally, of Balla, has been arrested on
the charge OF melting to murder and other
acts of violence. There is great excitement
in the neighborhood of Ballakenny. The

and Huesey, the son of farmer In the
same district, who have long been suspected
OF connection with certain raids for arms,
have been arrested under the Lord Lieuten-
ants warrant and sent to Dublin.
In the House of Commons this afternoon
seven Irish amendments to the arms bill
were rejected.
Sir VIM. Harcourt, Home Secretary, on
the one giving to persons arrested under the
act right to jury trial, said that in the
present state of Ireland there was no rea-
or jury in agrarian cases. The present agi-
tation is undoubtedly Fenian conspiracy
under another name.
Various Irish members protested against
this assertion.
Capt. Nolan, member for Galway coun-
ty, as an argument against summary pro-
ceedings, pointed out that he had that very
day received a letter from Galway, announc-
ing that two persons had been arrested
whom he believed to be totally incapable of
the crimes OF which they are suspected.
At 8 p. m. Mr.. Parnell was speaking
against the governments endeavoring, in
subservience to the landlords, to abolish
jury trials for political offenses.
When the Chairman rose and put the
amendment to a vote. the amendment was
rejected by vote of 273 to 35.
q The other amendments..Were then rejected
by similar overwhelming majority. and
the bill was passed through the committee.
