Policy Of the Government on the Land
Question Assaiisd.
LONDON, June 8.-Lord Carnarron
CONSERVATIVE, formerly Colonist Secre-
tary, speaking at Benton yesterday,
strongly condemned the policy Of the
government, who, he said, were respon.
sible for the civil war in Ireland. They
would fnd the question not 10 be one
Of land merely, but that every class Of
property would be menaced. He did
not think that Englishmen would long
be hoodwinked by the reckless rhetoric
Of demagoeues or the plausible nos
trums OF political quacks.
Sir Richard Asheton Cross, Conser-
vative, a former home secretary, in
speaking at st. Helens, ventured to say
that no government had ever made 30
many serious mistakes in so short q
time.
Joseph Chamberlain, president OF the
Board OF Trade, in speaking at Birming-
ham, said that il was perfectly evident
that the causes OF disorder in ireland
are more deep seated than was sup.
posed, and that they are not TO be found
in the action OF this or any previous gov.
ernment, but are to he found in the con-
dtion Of the people Themselves. Force,
he said, WAS no remedy, but certain
amount Of force was necessary TO uphold
the laws.

NEw YORK, June Sin relation to
the reduction Of the freight rates which
have been called for by the New York
Central Railroad Company, reporter
interviewed Commissioners Fink to-day.
He said that consider able OF the matter
published is bosh and there is no found
alton for it. He said it was accurate
that on April llth reduction OF five
cents per hundred pounds was ordered,
in consequence OF the violation OF the
previous agreement. He was aware that
the freight carried by the Erie railroad
was largely in excess OF the freight traffic
OF the New York Central road, but said
that no unfair means had been used to
bring about this excess. He had heard
that there was to be meeting Of the
Presidents OF the different Trunk lines,
but did not feel at liberty to
divulge when or where it was
to be held. In regard TO
the statement published that he had re-
ceived no reply from the Erie road to
the communication Of the New York
Central road, he said no answer was
necessary; that when one road an
nounces that it will carry freight for less
than the regular rates, the other roads
have no remedy but to follow in the re-
duction, or else stick to the former
prices and as result have all the traffic
go to the road which charges the least.
1t was also published that the last re.
duction to % cents per 100 pounds did
not entirely satisfy the demand OF the
New York Central road, as this road is
said to have proof that some Of the other
roads carried grain IRON Chicago as low
as Is cents per 100 pounds. Fink said
that to his knowledge no road had car
ried grain at that low rate, but that il
the New York Central road was not sat.
istied with the 25 cents per 100 pounds,
il could publish demand that the rate
be made as low as it wished, and it
would be accomplished.
