MIR. GLADSTONE,
In the House OF Commons, Explains the
Position Of the Government in
Regard to the
Imprisoned Suspects - Foster and the
Protection Aet-Sarah Bernhardt
Married at London.

LONDON, April 4.-In the House OF Com
mons this afternoon Gladstone stated that
the negotiations with the government of the
United States respecting suspects OF Ameri-
can nationality continue. To representa-
tions made by Great Britain to the United
States last June respecting certain Fenian
literature no answer had been received.
Gladstone also stated that the government
was sensible of the gravity of the condition
OF Ireland, but it must select its own time
for proposing any desirable measures. 1t was
a social and not q political revolution that
was in progress. The Land League started
when the conservatives were in power.
Though agrarisn crimes had increased, he
believed the effect of the Land act is extend
ing. The present condition of Ireland was
unprecedented for fifty years. There is strong
presumption that the influence of the Land
League is behind the awful crimes commit
ted there. He cited the letter of Healy, call
ing the government set of brig Inds.
Northcote said Gladstone's speech was dis
appointing, alarming and unsatisfactory, be-
cause 1t shows vascillation.
The Irish members declared the govern
ment, by crushing the Land League, encour-
aged the riband societies, and this was the
cause of the outrages complained of. Healy
defended his use OF the word "brigands," in
describing the government.
The under foreign secretary said he would
General Brewster's opinion in answer to
question by Ashton Cross, who said he asked
the question to afford the government an
opportunity 10 show that there had been no
attempt on the part of a foreign power to
interfere with the admin alton of Justice
The House adjourned for the Easter holi-
days.
THE TIMES ON THE IMPRISONED SUSPECTS
The lines, in a leading article on America
and the imprisoned suspects maintains the
right of every State to protect itself against
alien or domestic enemies to society. IL re-
fers to General Grants pretensions which
the general asserted to deputation which
called upon him in New York, and says: at
is obvious that the government, while giving
no sanction, direct or indirect, to the exag
gerations, irresponsible American politicians
can fairly meet the wishes of the govern
ment of the United States without impair
ing the securities of the Protection act" 1t
has no doubt the United States will be in
formed favorably. Consideration will be
given to the case of any citizen of the United
States who will undertake, if released, to
leave the country.
THE PROTECTION ACT FAILURE.
The Daily NeWs says it has become plain
that Forster's administration of the Protec-
tion act is not a sufficient safeguard against
crime, arrests seem rather to have stimu-
lated il, and that the armed force in Ireland
must, if necessary, be still further increased.
In certain districts there Is force con-
tinually acting against the law by means
which it would be disgraceful in any civilized
country to tolerate. The time has come for
the government to strike, and strike hard
but it is all the more incumbent on them to
take careful aim.
SALLY BERNHARDT MARRIED.
Sarah Bernhardt and a Greek gentleman of
position named Damata were married in
st. Andrews church, Wells. Sarah continues
her theatrical career. Damata is a fine
looking middle-aged man, and is said to be
tolersbIy rich. His wife ia worth l 200 ,000f
Bernhardt gave no previous notice Of the
wedding. At eight o'clock this morning a
gentleman called at the church and said he
desired to make arrangements for a mar
riage. The official informed him that Ii
cense was necessary. The gentleman left the
church to procure the license, which he OBJ
tanned, and returned accompanied by Bern
hardt, who wore a close-ftting sealskin
cloak, trimmed with fur. A French lady
and gentleman and the officials of the church
were the only witnesses
