Affairs in ireland.

DrBItS, February l2 The Frecman's
Journal says the reason Parncll left Paris
was an inimation that the French govern
ment could not be depended upon in an emcr-
gency.
LONDON, February u. Parliamentary
committee of home rule party have decided
that as soon rs the protection bill is passed
about a dozen members will proceed TO Ire
land and hold a series of mcctinsg, leaving to
the government the responsibility Of arrest
ing thea.
LONDON. February -. The anti-coercion
meeting announced Yesterday was held at
Hyde Park to-day. An immense crowd as
sembled to witness the arrival of the pro.
cession. Their dcmeanor was that of curl
osity, not sympathy, but no opposition or
hostility was manifested. Opposite the
Reform Club the members halted and the
leaders called for cheers for Davitt and
Cowen and groans for the Tory member for
Bradford, meaning Forster, and for the lib
eral ringleader, all Of which were heartily
given. No display of force made by the
authorities.
The News believes that Irish executives
does not intend to arrest any parliamentary
leader Of the land league agitation, under the
provisions of the retrospective clause of the
coercion act.
cable SAYS Great disqUietudc exists in the
camp of the Land Leaguers owing to fears Of
new arrests. These apprehensions are based
upon the knowledge of the leaders that all
the important secrets of their organization
are now in the possession of the government.
The disappearance Of Parnell from England
at so critical period is attributed to this
fact. 1t is quite certain that Parnell antici-
pated arrest, and there seems to be no doubt
that evidence has been obtained connecting
the member for Cork city with sedtious pre-.
jects. The papers found on Davitt at the
time of his arrest were of a most damaging
nature to more than one of the leaders of the
movement, and since his arrest still other
proofs sf their completely with the plans
held 10 be responsible have been received
by government. IL il stated that Davitt
carried the documents upon his person as the
safest place for their concealment, and his
arrest was so suddenly made that there was
no time to destroy them. An armed insur-
rection was certainly planned in Ireland.
the rising to be simultaneous with the
| fenian outbreaks in various parts Of England
How far Parnell was implicated in this
hopeless scheme is known only to govern
ment, but undoubtedly his friends anticipated
his arrest had he returned to London Thurs
day. 1t - now very generally thought he
will not run the risk Of returning to England
but will 20 straight to New York. his osten-
sible object being to collect more funds in
America for the league. The coercion bill
will probably become law by the 23d inst.
when numerous arrests will undoubtedly be
made. but flight from Ireland ha. already set
in. In several parts Of Ireland tenants are
now beginning to pay rent again, and the
land league, lately active and omnipotent,
no longer interferes. Local agitators know
that the police are only awaiting the passage
Of Forster's bill to strike, and this knowledge
inspires them " ith caution.

WASHINGTON. February -,
SENATE.

Mr.. Anthony. (of Il. L. addressed the
Senate upon the report of the two committees
that visited Rhode Island to inquire into the
alleged violations of the constitution and bv-
| laws of that State. He contrasted the
suffrage restrictions imposed by other States
with those of his State in the early history of
the country as showing that Rhode Island
government was as republican MS that of any
other State. and that while subsequent
changes in her suffrage had been in the direc-
ton of liberaliiy TO the religious test. in
New Hampshire more rigid landed pro-
prietorship qualification. in Massachusetts,
the tax qualification. in Pennsylvania the re-
quirement of a residence for foreign-born
citizens, in these and other States, and
peculiar determinations in South Carolina
and other Southern States had been retained
without modification.

of the postal appropriation bill.
Nr. Ilamlins substitute for Mr.. Pugh's
amendment apprJpriating 81 200, 900 for an
additional foreign postal service, which was
ruled out of order on the ground that il
would engraf general legislation upon an
appropriation bill in violation of the 29th
rule.
Mr.. Morgan moved to amend Mr.. Pugh's
amendment by adding thereto the following
When vessels built in other countries are so
accepted and employed. the same shall be en-
titled to all rights and privileges secured by
the law to vessels built in the United States
except the privilege of engaging in the coast
wise trade.
At this point vote was demonstrated. but

the Senate and several efforts to reach n

this amendment on the table. Mr.. Wallace
gave notice that after the routine business

up and considered until disposed of.
Adjourned.
House..
The river and harbor bill vas considered.
In the committee of the whole an amend
ment was adopted authorizing the Secretary
of War to let ont all public works, pro-
vded for in the act by a contract to the
lowest bidder.
At 4.40 =. NJ, the first paragraphs of the
bill, the appropriating clause. was finally dis
posed of and the next paragraph was read,
and against this Mr.. Cox raised point of
order which was overruled on the ground
that the work for the Improvement of Rich
mond Island Harbor, Maine. was already in
progress.
Mr.. Murch offered an amendment appro-
priating S25, 900 for improving Rockland
Harbor. Maine: rejected.
The committee having concluded the con-
sideration of three of the forty pages OF the
bill. they rose and the House adjourned.
