IRISa TROUBLES.
Movements Of Government and League.
DUBLIN, October 1.-THE headquar.
ters OF the Land League have been trans.
ferred to Liverpool. 1t is stated that
the Government, in the cases OF the
Land Leaguers who escaped to England,
have consulted English and Irish law
officials. These consider any attempt to
encourage intimidation from England a
subject OF indictment.
Paris correspondent writes that the
clerical press condemns the Irish ar.
rests.
A Berlin correspondent represents
that the arrest OF Parnell hastened to
raise Gladstone in the estimation OF tho
Germans, and the North German Gazette
says the time for indulgence has gone by.
The Irish Times accuses the police of
the fiercest excesses in the dispensing OF
the crowd on Saturday.
Twenty-three persons are in Limerick
hospital with bayonet wounds. A mag
istrate stated from the bench to. day that
the police had strict orders never in the
future to fire blank cartridges, but to
fire with effect. Biggar left DubiR last
evening for Holyhead. He fully ex
pected to be arrested, but resolved no
longer to await the action OF the Castle
authorities. James Palmer, Secretary,
and another prominent member OF the
Middleton Cork League, Lemon, Sec
retary, and O'Toole, member OF the Tul.
lon dublin county, branch, Lyman,
organizer of the Kings and Queens conn
ties and West MeatA Leagues, White,
Secretary OF Clare League, and Henry
Egan, Secretary OF Tullamore League,
are all
Lodged In the Mas Jail.
The authorities contemplate arrests
in Belfast and other parts OF North Ire
land. Sexton Dillon and OBrien are
charged with being reasonably sus
pected OF reasonable practices. 1t is
proposed to start fund for the mainte.
nance OF State prisoners. Members OF
the League claim that Arthur OCon-
ner is being thoroughly instructed i'll
the management Of the League. His
escape will enable the organization 10
continue. The Pail Mall Gazette saws:
GAS neither O'Brien or Quinn psrtici-
pated in public meetings, their
arrest is naturally taken to
mean that the Government will
tolerate no form of intimidation, how.
ever indirect. We may even infer that
the Castle will construe too vigorous
criticism of it's action as intimidation. A
inference. The Land League Is f61i'; Go Be
suppressed forcibly. That is the long
and short of the matter. Violent sup.
preston OF the League, which has never
yet been declared illegal, is only the
beginning OF the task which lies before
the country if the land act fails to bring
even temporary peace. Then Great
Britain will have nothing less 10 do than
to frame wholly new system OF govern
ment for Ireland. 1t is intolerable, even
impossible that we can continue to gov
ern by series OF spasmodic coups detdt.
Poison may be a useful drug in certain
emergencies, but nation
Cannot Live on Political Poison
for its daily food, not even Ireland"
New York, October IA special
from Dublin says: "People should be
warned against exaggerated reports of
an outburst of public fury in various
quarters of Ireland regarding the recent
arrests. The idea OF organized resistance
may be dismissed. Even the unorganized
mobs are not dangerous. The import
ance OF the affairs here on Saturday and
Sunday nights is not accredible to the
violence of the crowd, but to the bru
tality OF the police. There was hardly
member OF the special force not more or
less drunk. One policeman said
the force had nothing to
eat and but little sleep since
Saturday morning, but they were able
to get drink at several pubic houses
The result was they were wild with
liquor, and il it were not for their as.

have been known OF the excitement in
the streets. Well known citizens, news.
paper reporters, telegraph messengers
and even women suffered from the out.
IugeOuS vi tuC pOiiCC-
The first reports OF the Limerick affair
were from some hand that invented the
siege OF Quinan's castle. 1t was stated
that shooting occurred all over the city
and that many people were killed. 1t
now turns out that only one person was
wounded with buckshot. The fact that
the Scots Greys left in the evening is
sufficient evidence that the affair wss
not serious.
Fresh Rieting in Limerick.
In Limerick tonight the rioting was
renewed. Three companies oil the sixty
seventh regiment escorted Abraham,
treasurer OF the Limerick League, to
Jail. The occupants OF the houses stoned
the police. After lodging Abraham in

upon the mob in High street.
