Mr.. Parnell and the other members of Parlia-
ment will be debated at the forthcoming Cabi-
net council in Dublin Castle. There is much
difference of opinion on the subject, some per-
sons high in authority favoring their immedl-
ate release. Quinn, Assistant Secretary Dor
riss, who had charge of the legal department
of the League, and two or three clerks OF
United Ireland will be released Immediately.
Mr.. billions release may be looked for at any
moment. In London there is rumor that
Mr.. Parnell and the other imprisoned members
of Parliament were asked to give an under
standing not to continue the Land League agi-
tation for certain time. On refusing this
they are not likely to be released TO attend
Parliament.
