1pISU MATTERS IN LONDON.
TRY CABLE TO THE TRI BUNE.l

,oort and Mr.. Parncll. The Ministers last week
4,l,, believed that they had secured the coopera-
ton of Mr.. Parne in their efforts for the res'ora-
zion of order in Ireland in exchange fer amend
,ronts in the Land act The alliance reYalned uh-
shaken by the Dublin murders the farneihtes
.s.rnino every appearance of decorous distress
A., .be catastrophe called for Their grief was
rrobsbly sincere enough, since the assasslnations
threatened TO unsettle the existing political COM
h;nations The extraordinary confidence OF the
Government in their arrangements with Mr. Parnen
was indicated by the eager protests OF the Liberal
nroso on Monday against allowing the alliance
70 he disturbed by Saturdays events. Word was
passed round that there was to be no panic and
no vindictyeness The advanced Liberals having
engineered Mr. Forster out of the Cabinet, and be-
Ieyinc themselves masters of the situation and Sc
cnre of their reclaimed Irish allies, determined
TO persevere in the policy.
THE PREVENTION OF CRIME BILL.
Politically speaking, all went well till Thursday,
when Sir William Harcourt disclosed the provisions
of the new Prevention of Crime bill. When he sat
acy so patiently and ingenously put together, had
collapsed. Messrs. Parnell, Healy and Dillon rose
successvely and denounced the new measure IN
terms of the fiercest hatred. The intense passion
with which Mr. Parnell spoke plainly denoted his
conviction that he had been outman9uvred or
overreached. CONSERVATION prevailed in
the Radical camp, but the overwhelming force
of party and public opinion prevented open
dissension and compelled all but unanimous Liberal
support for a measure which many Radicals pri-
vately protest against The Ministers affirm that
the principles of this bill settled last week.
Mr. Chamberlain asserted to and approved its main
features which were little altered if at ALL in con-
sequence of the assassinatons but Irish men,
Der was consulted. What every
practical politician outside of the Cabinet is
that the Ministers should suppose for one moment
that it was possible to expect Mr. ParnePs support
for a really efficient bill. The universal impress
sion from Sir William Harcourts statement is that
this is the most stringent of coercion
framed-a measure which, if worked in the same
spirit may paralyze the whole machinery of in
timidation and terror on which the promoters of
Irish disaffection rely. Hence Mr. Parnelrs
deadly hostility; hence his unhestating an
nouncement of the resumption of his former atti-
tude of irreconcilable enmity TO the Government.
The Ministers, nevertheless. cling to the hope of a
conciiation not of the Parne tes but of the Irish
people, from remedial measures announcing last
night that they would bring in the Arrears bill on
Monday. The Irish Home Rule press warns them
in advance to expect nothing from Irish opinion
unless they abandon the Prevention of Crime bill.
The English press, without distinction of party, GER
tain Radical organs excepted warns them that Eng
lsh opinion will not tolerate further experiments
in the direction of compromise with lawlessness
know from unquestionable sources that three ifnot
more, members of the Government were prepared TO
resign if Thursdays measure proved unsatisfactory.
One of them yesterday summed up the situation by
the phrase "Panell does not govern this country
so much as he did"
TIE MURDERS THE RESULT OF A POLITICAL PLOT
All controversy as to whether the assassins really
intended to murder Lord Frederick Cavendish has
ceased that it is universally understood that he
was deliberately selected as victim The
latest intelligence indicates the belief of the
police that Earl Spencer also would have been mur-
dered had the opportunity favored. Nobody longer
denies that the aSsassinations were planned for
distinct political purpose. This was the Irish
answer to Englands latest message of peace.
Mr. PARNELLs POSITION.
Mr. PsrnelPs swift asseveration that the murders
~ere directed against his new policy is con-
sdcred prove if true that the leadership of the
active party has passed out Of his bands English
men are disposed to believe Mr. Parnels present
adherence of the crime. Nevertheless, they hold
hm responsible for the murders as the culmn alton
o long series Of assassinaions which he failed TO
condemn His appearance in the House on Monday
Id the character of mOnrner evoked significant
protests in several quarters. The Parliamentary
proceedings with that exception, were deeply i'm
pressive throughout The demeanor of the
country deserves the encomiums the Enolsb nress
bestow.
England like her Government is still ready
10 grant every measure of iust relief n
Ireland but the proposal to make Mr.. Parnell head
policeman has ceased to be possible.
THE QUEENS BAD TASTE.
The feeling against the Queens holding drawnc.
rooms on the days of Mr.. Burke's and Lord Fred
erick Caveneshs funerals is expressed IN panors of
ali shades, and still ,ore strongly in private bv al,
classes.
ANIMosTTY AGAINST MR.. FORSTER
The Radical animosity against Mr. Forster. nm
slaked by the success Of the Vaccinations result
ing In his resignation, finds expression in accusa.
