Governments proposals.
new writ for an election for the Northern Di-
vision of the West Riding of Yorkshire was ordered
in consequence of Lord Frederick Cavendish ac-
cepting the post of Chief Secretary for Ireland.
1t is freely asserted that the appointment of Lord
Frederick Cavendsh as Chief Secretary for Ireland,
is an endeavor to concliate the Wing members of
the Cabinet. The Home Rule members of Parlia-
ment much disappointed at the selection of
Lord Cavendish for that post.
Replying to a question by Mr.. Joseph Cowen, the
Home Secretary in the House of Commons said that
Michael Davit had been released for the same rea-
sons as those for which the suspects had been re-
leased No conditions were attached to his release
except those attached to his previous liberation.
Mr.. Gladstone announced that the charge of
reasonable practices against Mr. Parncll would be
withdrawn.
Mr.. Forster stated the reasons of his with
drawal from the Office of Secretary for Ireland.
He said that in view of the great difficulty expert
enced in the affairs of ireland. he would have pre-
ferred SO far as he personally concerned, to say
nothing. He confirmed the report that there was
difference between himself and the rest OF the
Cabinet in regard to the release of the
suspects which release he condemned.
lie said he could not agree to release the suspects
unless he got from them a public undertaking to
cease opposing the execution of the law. AS he
could not obtain that he could not remain in Office.
He would have released the suspects if Ireland had
been quiet or if the Government had had full powers,

of the Coercion Act.
Mr. Forster in ustifyng the arrest of Mr. Parnell,
said that Mr. Parnell, If he had been allowed, would
havo become the uncrowned king of Ireland. Mr..
Forster declared that the proceedings of the mpris
oncd members had been far moro dangerous than
individual indictments to outrage.
Mr. Gladstone, replying to question by Sir
Henry Drummond Wolf (Conseryatlve. said 1t had
been intimated to him that the "No Rent" manifesto
would be withdrawn.
Messrs. Dillon, OKelly and Sexton stated that
such intimation was without Their authority. o
Mr. Gladstone stated that the intimation came
from Mr.. Parnell. AS that gentleman was then
absent Mr.. Gladstone declined 10 make any further
statement -
Sir Henry Drummond Wolff quoted Mr.. Glad
stones declarations that the Land Leagucrs
had caused outrage rapne and murder, or henry
rdiculed the Government for releasing the LeaguerS
as if they were innocent men. The Land League,
he declared, had beaten the Government. and Mr.:
Gladstone recognized MI. Idrneii Us tho iuioi VI
