from five this evening till "Wednesday
morning, rioting being feared. In view
OF the explanations given by Forster
Chief Secretary for Ireland, Gray ha:
Withdrawn the statement that he be
lieves the police are acting under orders
OF the Government for the purpose ol
provoking collision. Forster was pro,
tected by mounted police while driving
to the Castle to-day.
1t is understood that Sexton declined
the offer of the Government to release
his health, provided he leaves the conn.
try. 1t is not considered probable that
the members OF Parliament in kilmsin-
ham Jail will be detained beyond three
months.

The executive OF the Land League
held a splendid meeting at headquarters

intense enthusiasm prevailed. 1t was
unanimously Y resolved to order
AGeneral Strike Against Rent.
This declaration was received with round
after round of cheers. The city Is in
state OF great excitement The police
are using every means to provoke an
outbreak, but as yet they have failed.
Forster in reply TO a civic deputation
headed by the Lord Mayor, stated that
the infamous measures which he had
instituted would be continued so long
as he considered them necessary. Ar
rests are taking place hourly. 1t is the
old story OF
lettjts de cGchet and Bas,ile. No one is
safe. The announcement that Henry
George was on his way to Ireland met
with hearty round OF applause. Dub
lin will give the American author a re-.
Ccption in every way worthy OF him,
Everywhere the people are patient, and
snce is being strictly adhered to. The
Land League headquarters have been
removed to Holyhead. 1t is here ex
pected that martial laws will be pro.
claimed at once. .Parnell ""riI;II ""i;Ii, III Tno

LONDON, October l8.-Lord CARING.
forld. Liberal, who as Carchester For
tescue was twice Chief Secretary Tor
Ireland, speaking at Radstock last even
ing, said there was no ground lett Tor
argument between the government aud
the people on one side and the Land
League and its leaders on the other.
That the League leaders had unhaplly
chosen to carry the issue into quite
different field. OF course he trusted and
believed there would be no armed in.
surrection in Ireland, and that no ex-
cited body OF men would compel an
armed force to shed blood, but still the
methods of the League we're such as
could only be met by force in some
shape. The Fifty second regiment EN-.
barked for Ireland to-day. The women
and other non electives are to remain
in Eagland, as the regiment is ordered
into active service.
