rAo ,;horated members attended the sitting OF the

lss friction being considerably heightened Dy
tbe announcement that instead of Mr. Chamberlain
whose appointment had been considered lore-
,o,o oconclusion-Lord Frederick Cavendlsh had ac-
oo,,oa the office of Chief Secretary for Ireland
RI. announcement occasioned the greatest aston
ishment. and by the Irish members and extreme
Radical nartv was received with feeling of disap-
pointment and indignation.
Lord Cavendish is younger brother OF
Lord Harrington, and has been in office since
The formation of the present Administration. HIS
appointment is considered an endeavor 70 con-
ciliate the Wing section of the Cabinet and lts
followers. In the House. replying to Mr.. Governs
question. the Home Secretary said that the Govern
ment had determined to release Mr.. Davitt uncon-
ait;onallv for the same reason that induced them
70 release the other prisoners. When interro-
gated subsequently as to whether or not
the Government had obtained any assurance
on the part of the released prisoners that they
would abstain from further reasonable practices,
Mr.. Gladstone indicated somewhat evasively that
the Government had information rendered them
which they deemed important, and which justified
md prompted their action in making the release
Messrs Sexton, Dillon and O'Kelly dsclaiining any
knowledge of the matter, Mr. Gladstone, when
further pressed, acknowledged. amidst grow
ing excitement, that his statement referred
to Mr. Parnel and as he was not then in the House,
he would leave hun to make his own declaration on
the subject.
Subsequently, Mr Forster made long statement
of the reason that caused him to separate from the
Cabinet He said that the same reason which
Obliged him to vndicate the detention of the MEM
bers on the ground of prevention OF crime obliged
him TO object to their release because they tended
TO the encouragement of crime The real ground
why they were arrested was because they were try
ing TO carry ruin and injury to the Queens subjects
by intimidation Of one kind another. There were
three conditions upon which he should have con-
one of those conditions had been fulfilled
Obedience to the law he said, must not be pur-
chased by concession. A surrender was bad, but
compromise or an arrangement worse.
II all England could not govern the men,
Der for Cork let them acknowledge it,
and that his was the greatest power in Ireland
But he believed that no concessions were necessary
and that such policy only weakened the Govern
ment The Coercion Act had enabled them to break
up the Land League and to compel it to hide itself
under pettcoats. According to the best information
Ireland was more peaceable now than ever. though
ii was admitted that secret societies
active. But there was one thing worse than
secret societies, namely, open acknowledgment of
powerlessness to enforce the law without the as
tstance of the law-breakers. Better those hideous
institutions of generalization than paying black
mail to law-breakeIs. Mr.. Forster concluded by
saying that all he could do without dshonOr to his
conscientious convictions would be done to smooth
The difficult path of his successor in the uncnviable
post.
Mr.. Gladstone, in reply to Mr.. Forster's stric
tures denied that any arrangement of any sort had
been made with the leaders Of the Irish party but
admitted that their release based upon the be-
he founded on information, that having regard to
contemplated Government legislation affecting ar
rears Of rent, they would range themselves on the
side Of law aud order and individual freedom. As
regards Mr. ParnePs release, he said that
