New York, April 16.-The Tribune
London cable special says: The Mar
quis of Salisbury, Sir Stafford North
cote and practically the entire conser
vative party are now pledged to tn
support of Smiths proposal of peasant
proprietorship in Ireland. They hav,
carefully avoided, nevertheless, com
the practicability of the proposal en-.
tirely depends. Not the peasants, but
the landlords interests are to be the
handspring in this policy. If it is
to become successful e300, DOC, DOC
would be needed, but 1 have 1t on good
authority that the real amount would
not exceed e20, 900, 600, and probably
would fall below this sum. 1t is pro-
posed to deal with the arrears of rent
on the same principle as the state-ad-
vancing money to pay off part and the
landlord RENTING the remainder. The
proposition to carry it out will be laid
formally before the house on the first
Monday in May by the Hon. W. II.
Smith, member Of parliament for West
minister. The radicals dare not oppose
it, for they stand committed to the cen
trail principle of the measure, and the
Irish people are reported to be enthusi-
astically in its favor. No compulsion
would be put upon the landlords to part
with their property. but those who wish
to sell would be able to obtain their
price and have done with it. This new
departure leaves the government high
and dry, and must cause a deep and
wide sensation, so % as it is thorough
ly understood throughout the country.
AS for the other problems presented
in Ireland for solution, the conserva-
tlves would probably be in favor of Ii
berating the subjects, while at the same
time they would take measures to pre-
serve order by strictly legal means.
American securities are again unset
tied by New York prices,and by rumors
which have been spread in various d.
rections by a syndicate of liars that
Gould has been seriously ill.
The tide of American travel has al
ready set in strongly. A large number
of New Workers are in London, and the
chief hotels T crowded. Those of
your readers who are coming over will
do well to write or telegraph from
Queenstown for rooms if they wish to
save themselves much trouble.
The most remarkable contributions
to the discussion of the this week have
been the three letters from Professor
Goodwin Smith, affirming the hearty re-
pugnance of Americans to seeing their
country used as a basis for an Irish
war of assassination. He replies to-day
to a criticism reafirming the feasibility
of securing convictions by judicial com
missions, and declining to let questions
affecting the public order, life, property
and the integrity of the empire be de.
cided by the public opinion of Parnell
and Captain Moonlight"
The excitement about Parnell's re-
lease, which amounted to an agitation
on Monday, has entirely subsidized. The
reported negotiations of Parnell with
certain radicals are not unfounded.
Parnell's appearance and statements
entirely contradict the current fabrica-
lions respecting his harsh treatment
while in prison.
The Carlyle controversies have been
revived by Froude's biography, the
effect of which is to confirm the i'm
preston of the essential unworthiness
of Carlyle's judgment of contempora-
ries.
With reference to the case of DR..
Lamson, the publication here of the af-
hdavits concerning the existence of in
sanity in his family and his own eccen-
tricities, compels the admission in many
quarters that if one-half of the evidence
had been produced at the trial the jury
would have found the prisoner not
guilty, on the ground of insanity. At
the same time the press is still very
hostile to the prisoner. The almost
universal cry is: I'VE don't want any
Guiteau farces in English courts of
justice;" and the question is asked: "If
suspicious of Lamson's insanity were
entertained by his friends and family,
why were his counsel kept in utter ig-
norance of the fact?" The exhibitions
made at the Guiteau trial have greatly
~prejudiced poor Lamson's case in the
minds of a large part of the British
public, who are casting suspicious on
all insanity pleas originating on your
side of the water. 1t seems likely at
this time of writing that a further re-
prieve will be granted to Lamson, but
the case is surrounded with doubt.
