THE Ex-sEcRETARY's VIEW OF IT.
LONDON, Oct. 16.-Lord Caslingford Lib
eral), who, as Chichester Fortescue, was
twice Chief Secretary for Ireland, speaking
at Radstock last evening, said there was no
ground left for argument between the
Government and people on one
side. and the Land League
and its leaders on the other; that the League
had unhapply chosen to carry the issue
into quite different field of force. He
trusted and believed there would be no
armed insurrection in Ireland, and that no
excited body of men would COM
pei armed force to shed blood.
But still the methods of the League were
such as could OILY be met by force in some
shape.
The Fifty-second Regiment embarked for
Ireland to-day. Women and other non-
effectives remain in England as if the regi-
ment was ordered into active service.
