WHAT IS GOING ON ABROAD.

A special cabegram from London, dated the
9TH instant, says:
New interest was developed tonight in COM
mittee on the Crime Prevention bill, owing to
the contention of the Irish members that the
jurisdiction of the new court should not extend
to trials for treason or treason felony when the
acts were done or the words spoken outside of
Ireland. This limitation was strongly resisted
by the government through Sir William Har-
court, who declared that it was necessary to
extend the Jurisdiction Of the court over all
cases where judge and jury would have jurs-
diction. In order to strengthen this view of the
case he cited O'Donovan Rosa, and stated that if
there were only one reader of Rossa's paper the
Crime Prevention act would necessarily deal
with him. This statement provoked an irrev-
erent demonstration from the Irish benches.
Mr.. Hcaly, in reply, tainted Sir William Har-
court with advertising Rossa for his own pur-
poses He said that Rossa's paper would have
been dead three months ago if Sir William Har-
court would refrain from making attacks. He
concluded by saying that Rosa was as neces-
sary to Sir William Harcourt as Sir William was
to Rosa. The House laughed heartily at this
attack, which was felt to contain considerable
amount Of truth. The Home Secretary showed
how badly he was hit by his sur!y dcmcanor on
the Treasury bench. In order to put on record
protest in form Mr.. Hcaly moved an amend
ment that no person should be tried for trca-
son or treason felony committed out of Ire
land" which he defended energctically The
stand made by the Irish members against
transatlantic treason was not wholly dsintcr-
ested, as they fear that this provision may be
used against any Of them who visit the United
States and may be tempted to use incautious
expressions which might be made the founda-
ton of a State prosecution on their return
home. Under the bill as it now stands Irish
orators who make reasonable speeches or plot
reasonable acts in America viii be held to q
strict accountability should they venture
within the Queens dOminions. They can no
longer depend oR the sympathy of jurors as
they will be handed over TO the tender mercics
of three judges.
