LONDON, May 5.-John Dillon, who was
arrested on Monday evening last and taken
to Kilmainham jail, is i'll. He will be re-
moYed to the infirmary to-day. There is no
cause for anxiety regarding his condition.
He suffers from chronic dyspepsia. The
statement that Mr.. Dillon would resign his
seat in the House OF Commons was canard.
The question will be left for the decision of
the Executive Committee of the Land
League.
The Daily NecS, in It's leading article this
morning, SAYS: "We do not desire to stint
the generosity of the tributes to the late
Lord Beacons6eld as man, but national
monument in Westminster Abbey would,
we believe, bear false testimony to the de-
liberate judgment of the English people on
the essential featurrs and animating motive
in Lord Beaconsfield's life."
The PIU Nall Gazette SAYS: "Dissatisfac-
ton Is beginning to prevail among the
reasonable section of the Irish members of
Parliament at the slow progress of the land
BILL"
Sir Stafford Northcote, speaking at Kit
tering last night, assured his hearers that
there would be no discussion among the
Tory chiefs relative to the leadership, and
iBtlmated that the question was not press
ing one.
1t is rumored in the lobby of the House
of Commons this afternoon that Lord Sci
borne, the Lord High Chancellor, has re-
signed on account of the bill for the amend
ment of the Parliamentary oath act.
Earl Granville, Foreign Secretary, recent
ly addressed dispatch to Mr.. Lowell, the
American Minister, on the subject of copy
right, sayiug that 1t would be satisfactory to
England if treaty could be negotiated
with America on the same basis as
with other countries, namely, without any
condition for the manufacture of English
books in America, but il this condition is
essential England will negotiate on that
basis. A treaty providing that books
written by American authors in England
shall be manufactured in America In order
to have a copyright there, would be covered
by the existing act, but II it provides that
books written by American authors in
America shall be manufactured in England
in order to have copyright in England,
such provision would require the sanction
of Parliament.
Mr.. Lowell replied that treaty confirmed
by the Senate would be law in America
Possibly supplementary legislation would
be needed to enforce its provisions In detail,
but he understood this would follow as a
N after Of course.
The trial OF Herr Johanne Most, the pub
Usher of FieUteit, which was set for Friday
or Saturday next, has been postponed until
the next session of the Central Criminal
Court
In the House of Commons to-day Mr..
Forster, Chief Secretary for Ireland, in re-
ply to question, said he had received no
information OF the reported seizng and
roasting of bailitf named King, in Ireland,
as stated in Galway dispatch of April
30th. He said further that he did not be-
lieve it.
Mr. ParDell has just given notice of an
amendment opposing the second reading of
the land bill.
Sir VIM. Harcourt, Home Secretary, In
reply to Mr.. Cover, as to whether the
information acquired by the London police
after the seizure of Herr Most's paper
was communicated to the Vienna police, and
formed the ground of certain arrests In Aus
tria, denied any connection between the
affairs, but asserted that if the police of one
country obtained information regarding the
crime of murder, or an attempt at murder,
in another, it would be their duty to COM
munieate with the respective authorities,
! with the view to prevent such crimes.
Mr.. Gladstone, replying to Mr.. Parnell,
said he would place no obstacle in the way
of Mr. Justin McCarthy's motion, that the
action of the Irish Executive in arbitrarily
arresting a member of Parliament and pro-
CiailnlbS bnO GAb1 Va ~ AOiAu1 10 oil aOuSC VI
the powers granted by the coercion act,
etc, but that he could not facilitate #.
Mr.. Gladstone announced, amid cheers,
that he will move on Monday next
an address, praying the Crown to provide
monument in Westminster Abbey to the
memory of Lord Beaconsfeld, with an in
ecription expressing the high sense of the
House of his rare aud splendid gifts, devot-
ed labors in Parliament and in the great
offices of State, assuring the Queen that the
House of Commons would make good the
expressions attending thereon.
Earl Granville gave similar notice In the
House of Lords.
The Parnellites, at a meeting to day,
adopted resolution to abstain from voting
on the second reading Of the land bill, and
to leave the House in a body when the di-
vision is called.
Mr.. Parnell's amendment opposing the
second reading of the land bill declares that
| the land bill in its present state would fail
| to secure to tenant farmers such reduction
in rent as would afford adequate protection
| to their property In their holdings, and
would leave evcted or rackrented tenants
| in a defenseless position, and that it offers
no guarantee OF the creation of a sufficient
number of occupying owners to check mt
nopoiy In land, or make available for the
| laboring population any of the large area OF
| cleared land from which the former occL-
piers were unjustly evicted.
| In the House of Commons tonight debate
on the land bill was again adjourned until
Monday, after discussion principally con-
| sisting of criticism OF details.
A meeting of the Executive Committee
| of the Land League, which is to be held in
London, to consider arrangements rendered
necessary by the arrest OF Mr.. Dillon, has
been postponed, pending the arrival of
Secretary Brennan.
| Il is stated that the Home Rule members
| of the House OF Commons have decided to
refrain from voting on the second reading
| of the land bill.
