LONDON, February l5.-A Paris dispatcl
states that in an interview with Henr
RoCheIortd, ,Parnell convened freely abou
the status and objects OF the Land League
Parnell affirmed that the object was not Il
inClte open rebellion, but to exhaust ever!
legal means to compel England to do 10
Ireland what Austria had done for Hun
gary, nake,,it self governing portion o
the kingdom. II Is reported that Parnel
expects arrest and imprisonment at th,
hands Of the government, and would no
be surprised 10 find himself In custody
any time. 1t Is understood that Parnei
will not go to the the United States direc
from Paris, but return to London as soor
as his business on the Continent Is com
pleted.
Renewed precautions are being taken tc
protect Windsor Castle and Edinburgh
Castle sgainst the suspected designs Of Fen
ians.
The Times this morning says: At 9
meeting ol the Executive officers OF the
Land League In Paris on Sunday last
Parnell stated that the funding Of E70O,'
600 Ot the Leagues money had finally
been arranged. He said manifesto would
be issued explaining everything that had
been done in regard to funds, to branches
of the League, which will be published
soon after his return to Ireland. 1t was
also intended, he said, that Immediately
after the passage Of the coercion bill the
Irish members Of Parliament should held
conference In Dublin. They would then
place themselves OF the head Of the people,
thus meeting the blow that the govern.
ment was aiming at their organization.
In the House OF Commons an amend
ment was offered to strike out the words
"wherever committed" the promoters oil
which pointed out that as the bill at pres.
ent stands . man will be liable 10 arrest
on suspicion Of having committed or incit.
ed an otfsnse even In England or the
United States, and with an amendment
providing that O person to be cd
must be In Ireland OF his own free will
and not to have been brought there on
some other charge.
Mr.. Forster, Chief Secretary for Ireland,
during the debate made the definite state.
ment that the mere advice to the tenants
not to pay rent, or pay only GrifIith's yalu.
alton, would not be deemed ground for
arrest, but indictments to acts OF violence
or intimidation would be 80 regarded.
There still remains 10 be considered
about eighty amendments on notice to the
paper.
The parish members are steadily OBJ.
struCting the progress Of the bill in com.
mittee.
The Times In o leading article on the
subject concludes as follows: The dispatch
o. measures In urgency Is not to be easily
distinguished from the leisurely move.
ment Of ordinary bills In committee.
Mrs Sullivan, the wife OF the member

ment, but complained bitterly OF the

would soon be released.
