Dublin, 19.-At meeting of the Land
League tonight, Sexton said the Only
thing positive was land bill that would
drive the Irish out of Ireland Sergeant
O'Hagsn's career, he said, has not been
one of striking public consistency Litton,
in the House of Commons, had dis
tinguished himself more by attacks
upon genuine representatives, of Ireland
than by anything else, and Verron was
landlord Of landlords. 1t was time, he
said, for the League to consider i'm me
diately whether they ought not to con-
vene representative assembly for the
purpose Of deciding upon their future
course. ~
Gordon, one Of the trayersers ID f the
recent state trials, has been fouLd
guilty of having after arrest under
the coercian act, melted crowd
to murder. Sentence is deferred :.
What senteace the prisoners will pelisble
10 receive, therefore, will depend, sssum-
ing that they are convicted, to the first or
second Of these crimes. The American
skirmishers should make note OF this.
If death results from an explOsinn, "the
skirmisher" is of course indicted for muir
der. r-r. -
The agricultural laborers' strike has
already spread to almost every part of
the County Cork. Fears are entertained
for the safety of the harvest.
Mr.. Forster has had an uncomfortable
time since the coercion act became law.
Every day. threatening letters are re-
ceiVsd at the chief secretary's lodge at
the Phoenix, and occasionally he gets one
in the house, but those, rs Lord CARING
ford tMr. Chichester Fortesque) used to
say, are the pleasant peTquisites Of the
chief secretsryship. On Monday, how
ever, a man called at Forster's residence
in Eccleston Square, ard Insisted on
seeing him. Mr.. Forster was out of
town, but the man hung about the house
all day, and NADER no secret Of his inten-
ton 10 kill the chief secretary on sight.
He was arrested by the police, aud 8
letter which he had written to Mr.. Forster
was found on him, bidding the chief
secretary to release the coercion act
prisoners and resign his Office, under pain
of death. This morning the prisoner
patrick Talfourd Hick), Is years of sge,
was arraigned at Bow street and re-
n&nded for week.
