DUBLIN, June l1.--Archbishop Croke's
conference with the clergy and Land League
yesterdays lat Tipperary, is discussed by all the
papers. The Archbishop was received at
Limerick Junction railway station at noon
and escorted to Tipperary by members OF the
local League, headed by brass bands. A
mile from town the horses were taken from
the carriage and he was drawn by the people
through the streets. He made speech
which is highly commended by all journals
as manly and as offering new way out to
| the people, aud as better in its moral than
Parnel's efforts. He eulpgized Ireland, its
cline, people and beauty; he hoped the lead
ais of her fortunes in the House Of Com
mons, headed by the immortal Parnell, would
prove equal to the occasion and follow Tie
policy of iudicious tlexibility as well as firm
| ness. They must not accept the bill now
pending unless it comes from the committee
a clear, substantial boon to the farmers of
Ireland, but they should not oppose it on ac-
| count OF a few minor amendments they
would desire. 1t ought to be accepted not
as a final settlement of the land question,
but as giving large rstalmcnt OF justice.
He recommended that the people be self con
tanned, restrain tlleir their temper, throw no
stones and pay honestly all they could. He
denounced the imprisonment OF Irish leaders
for no crime wlateYer as worse than Russian
despotsln.
WAsHINGToN, Jure Lit will! doubtless
crafty The disnerested politicians, who
| have just addressed a memorial to the Secle-
tary of the Interior touching the land grants
of the Texas Pacific Railroad, to know that
the land grant bonds of the Texas Pacific
Company are based upon the grants of law
made, not by the United States at all, but by
the State Of Texas. These grants cover all
the bonds issued by tue Texas Pacific Com
pany, and they have all been patented by the
company. The land grant ty the United
States to the Texas Pacific Company, ex-
tended from Ell Paso to San Diego. 1t does
not appear that the Texas Pac tc Company
has forfeited any of its rights under this
grant, as even if the time prescribed in the
grants has Iapsed, the Supreme Court has,
in every case brought before it, decided that
the grant rests as soon as it is made and that
nothing but an act Cf Congress can ever
place in the market lands covered by grant,
or deprive the company Of its right to them.
AS matter of fact, the Texas Pacific com
pany is now at work four miles west of Ell
PasO, and will cover the entire line to San
Diego within the current year. The right of
the Texas Pacific company to its lands is
fully recognized by the Interior Department.
The Department has virtually decided that
the Southern Pacific is tresDasser. aud the
Cnults have appointed a receiver for that por
tion Of the Southern Pacific railroad which
runs through New Mexico and inside of the
land grant limitation of the Texas Pacific
railroad.
