The Land eague appears 10 be in the
hour OF death. subscriptions from
branch leagues in England and Scotland
have fallen to nothing almost, and there
Is marked decrease in remIttanees from
your side Of the water. Psrnell has con-
sequently determined upon making an
| other tour through the United States and
Canada. He will probably leave about
the middle Of August when the fate of
the land bill in the upper House has
been determined. His friends here are
not very ssnguIne Of the success of his
mission from financial point of view.
They think the Irish in the United States
must be getting tired Of going down into
| their pockets to support legion of Office
bearers and professional patriots who
| run away from the people when they
have melted them to the verge of insur-
| recIloD, and can show nothing save q
batch ofprisoners in comfortable quar-
ters IN hIlmainham as theRresult of their
labors. Davitt, hear, will probably be
| released at the close of the session. He
was the hsArt and soul of the league or
gsnlzstlon 10 its palmy days, but Il he
| were at liberty to resume work to-mor-
| row, he could accomplish nothing, so
dead is the agitation. There are humid
| reds of tenants who would Join any move
ment looking 10 general strike against
rent, but vast majority admit
that the landlord is at least entitled to
| Grifiths valuation and that is now being
paid freely, while many are paying in
| full and trusting, to the land bill for
relief in future. Davitt has not been
| placed among ordinary convicts, but is
4 in ho al 10
been allowed the run of the garden. He
said to q visitor from Dublin, yesterday,
that he had nothing TO complain of ex-
cept Of course the restraint and prison
regulations forbidding newspapers. He
limited that he was aware that the
league was going TO pieces and that he
had heard of split among the Parnell-
| ties, and seemed 10 be much grieVed
over it.
HerGld'S London: Mr.. Parnell has
made up his mind to revisit America in
order to extend and consolidate Land
League organizations. He is convinced
that the land bill cannot he regarded as
final settlement Of the Irish land ques-
ton. He will not leave London, how.
ever, until the Lords have sent the meas
ure back to the Commons, as, in case
they should seriously mutilate or reject
the bill, a grave political crisis would
arise, and Mr.. Paruell's friends desire
that he should be on the spot to guide the
party at such q critical period. The ru-
NOR that he will 60 when the bill passes
through the committee, leaving the party
under the leadership of Mr.. Justin
Mccarthy, is quite unfodnded.
Three Roman Catholic priests sailed,
to-day, from Queenstown for New York
on their lecturlng tour through the Uni
ted States, one Of them carrying with
him letter from Arch bishop Croke
commissioning him to proclaim every.
where in America what the Irish people
want and what they do not want. Sew
ersl home-rule members of Parliament
also intend visiting the United States
this autumn. Among these are MIR
Shaw, Mr.. A. NJ. Sullivan and Mr.. 7. 2
IO'Oonner. The latter gentleman pro-
poses to deliver q series of lectures
on Irish literary and political topics.
The Standard and I telegraph, this
morning, have cable summaries of inter-
views with leading Irish members of the
legislature on the independence of Ire
| land.
Bishop Orcilly, Catholic bishop of
Liverpool, bishop Ilsly, cosdjutor bishop
Of Birmingham, and Bishop Vaughan,
of Stafford, have warned their focks
against 'skirmishing," pointing out that
plots to blow up public buildings are
crimes akin to murder aGd ought to be
execr ated by every man calling himself q
| Catholic. 1t is reported that Cardinal
Manning will make some deliverAnce on
the subject on Sunday. The outrages
have created an intense feeling against
Irish residents in many quarters of Eng
land and greatly encouraged orangeism
which hitherto has had only precarious
footing on this side Of the chaanel. Irish
harvestera, who flock over to England al
this season of the yesr, find it difficult 10
get employment, and Irish operatives
10 the mills IN the north, who are never
very popular with their Epglish fellow
workmen the cry being that they work
| for psuper wages, are having hard
time of it. Most of the victims
of the Clerken well explosion, were Irish,
and the Irish are the chief sufferers by
the outrages now being perpetrated.
At an intervie ~ between deputation
| OF Ulster tenant farmers ALd home-rule
members o-day, The Psrnellites mani
tested a willingness TO withdraw as many
of the amendments to the land bill as
possible, except where vital or important
| principles are involved. Ulster deIegai eE
| expressed the gravest alarm at The ides
of gov rnment exp1nRing from the bill
the direction 10 the land court to exclude
| tenants interest from all consideration OF
rent in fixing the fair rental o. holding,
atd fosr was expressed that in the alb
sence of some definite instruction the
court may feel bound to apply the exist
ing common law doctrine, that every
thing in or on sale belongs to the land
lord; this doctrine being connected only
by reservation oftenants actual improve
nents, whereas delegates hold, that be-
sides his improvements, his good will OF
occupancy right should be protected.
