tive association, writes as follows - 1t appears
to be admitted by a member of the Cabinet that
the Government deliberately abstained from
taking ut an earlier period the action which now,
at last. has checked the Land League, in order
that Parliament might be lndnced by the Irish
disorder to pass the Land Bill. These unexampled
tactics have dealt a double blow TO the prosperity
of Ireland. Henceforth capital will have . double
danger to fear. 1t will be exposed not only to
the acts of Parliament cutting down the interest
accrued from investments IN land made at the
invitation of Parliament, but also to lawless
plunder by conspiracies tolerated for purposes Of
Parliamentary strategy by the Government. In
a country from which capital is repealed there is
little to hope for" OF nine new Commits
sioners appointed under the Land Act, three are
barristers and the others practical agriculturists.
Precautions continue to be taken for Glad
stones safety. Leaving Hawarden fer London,
to-day, Gladstone was escorted to the train by
two constables.
London, Nov. l5.-The documents seized in
connection with the arrest Of TObin, the Fenian,
relate to the establishment, by force OF arms. of
the Irish Republic. They reveal the existence of
an extensive organization, known as the Royal
Irish Republican Society, with numerous mem
bers. The books, rules, and list of members of
the society are likely to throw light on the ex-
istence of similar organizations elsewhere.
London, Nov. 20.-Interest is still centering
on the Irish Land Court, where but one startling
event has occurred. Nor has there been any
appeal yet heard touching the disputed principles
on which the decisions Of the Sub-Commission
are based. The latter continues cutting down
rent, observing in the majority sl cases as much
moderation as is consistent with q determination
to satisfy the tenant. The novelty OF the week
is the decision OF the Limerick b-Commision,
reducing the rent Of the Blake farm, owned by
Lord Clare, 20 per cent, though it has been
paid regularly for forty-three years, the landlord
bearing half the cost of improvements, and the
evidence showing that the land is fully up to the
existing rent. The landlords consider this de-
cision as ominous of a determination to enforce a
reduction in n class of cases hitherto deemed out
side the Land Act.
Berlin, Nov. 9.-Bismarek has been obliged
to defer bis departure from Varzin, owing to i'll
health. All the Liberal papers regard Bismarek's
resignation as q mere attempt to intimidate. The
POSSlSche Zeitung says similar rumors have
always been precursors OF measures which did
not secure Parliamentary approval, and have
been invariably followed by extensions of the
Chancellor powers. The Treasury estimates
contain an item Of 2 ego 900 marks for the cree
ton Of an imperial palace at Strasburg.
Berlin, Nov. lS.-The Liberal Press unani-
mously express regret that the august person OF
the sovereign has been put forward IN opposition
TO the majority Of the nation, in favor of a social
list and political project for which Bismarck ought
himself to assume the sole responsibility. The
Deputies listened with icy GOODNESS to the speech.

Paris, Nov. SIN the debate on Tunisian
affairs, to-day, Clemenceau (Republican) said
that the violation of the French frontier by the
Kroumirs was not an adequate motive for the
Governments action. A simple policy Of re-
preston would be sufficient, and there would
have been no need to occupy Tunis. Referring
to the Bona and Guelna railway and the Enfida
affairs, Clemenceau said that he saw, look where
he would, nothing but the interests Of business,
and not the commercial interests of France.
Paris, Nov. On the Chamber of Deputies,
to-day, Premier Ferry replied to Clemenceau's
attacks on the Government. He said that the
Government would have been open to censure if
1t had not supported the interests of French sub
jects. The time had arrived to terminate in
trigues against French influence in Tunis. 1t
was impossible to adjust the foreign disputes
amicably, because of the impotency of the Bey.
The Cabinet had followed the constant tradition
OF French diplomacy. and guarded French in
terests by means of 4 protectorate which per-

taken. 1t was the sole means of closing the
frontier of Algeria against the dangers threatened
by the possible extension of the Eastern conflict
to the Mediterranean.
