A large crowd gathered at the St. Paneras

the Speaker OF the House of Commons, men,
bers of the cabinet and 300 members OF Par

DAvTTT's LETTER TO THE STANDARD.
Michael Davitt, in his letter to the Stand.
ard, after referring Forster to his (Davitt's)
speech, in which he held Forster responsible
before God for the const qaences that would
inevitably follow the policy OF terror and
CO ercloD, admits he is convicted Fenian,
convicted on a false charge sworn to by a
salaried perjurer, and asks fair-minded Eng
lishmen to put their imagination in place of
the son of an evicted Irish peasant and an
swer whether it is any stigma to the Irishman
that he has been a FenIan. "rhe people of
Ireland do not think so. The false relations
of the two countries has been brought about
by misunderstanding and misrule. 1t may
be criminal on one side of the Irish sea
and patriot on the other. Ii it be said
Fenian is a man who wishes to burn, blow
up and murder l will not even reply TO that,
although know it to be untrue. Ii in the
hot blood of early manhood, smartipg under
cruelties and Indignities perpetrated Gin Ire
land, saw an appeal TO force the only means
of succoring her, upon my graver thought in
the bitter solitude of felon's cell, nobler
vision appeared in the dream Of enlranchise-
ment and determination OF the people, and
OF the conquering of hate by justice. l have
suffered by their power, but there is
in my heart to-day no sentiment OF
bitterness toward the English people.
The gospel Of the land for the people is
a universal gospel. In its triumph is in
volyed the social regeneration of England as
clearly as that of Ireland. ii you would
find a mOdHs uirendi between the English and
Irish il is easy. Treat us as men. Willingly
will l go 10 Ireland and do whatever | can
to further the peaceful doctrines l have al
ways advocated, bat i am confident moth
ing could do or say would strike as effect
ually as the feeling OF horror which was
sent through Ireland at the slaughter of the
innocent and inoffensive Fog lishmen under
circumstances which lend to the black
deed every possible attribute of atrocity."
The letter concludes as follows: Chow can
L protest with effect against outrages
when the most brutal and irritating outrsges
have been committed in the name of the
law? Ladies are sent to prison as persons of
evil fame; hus erected by charity are torn
down; little boys are ruthlessly shot down by
the constabulsry, and men of the highest
character are still held in il on suspicion"
THE NEW CHIEF SECRETARY.
George Otto Trevelyan is the son and heir
of Sir Charles Edward Trevelyan, Bart, X.
q. B., ex-governor of Madras, great au-
tho -ity on India and an advocate of civil.
service reform. He was born July 20, 1888,
at Rothley Temple, Leicestershire, and was
educated at Harrow and at Trinity College,
Cambridge. His uncle Lord Macaulay,
was warmly attached to him and took an
affectionate interest in his welfare. In Oc-
tober, 1862, his father was appointed finan-
cial minister in India, and he accompanied
him as his private secretary. While there
he wrote "Letters of a Competition Wal
lah," descriptive of the Indian civil service.
They were published in Macmildn's Magazine
and created great sensation, both in India
and in England. He was the author also of
Cdionpore published in 1865. Sir Charles re-
signed in that year and returned to England
George Otto Treyelyan had no difficulty in
getting elected to Parliament for Tynemouth
soon after his arrival. He was an advanced
Liberal, and, after taking his seat in the
House, his ambition was TO form a modern
w-England party. In this he was unsuc.
cessful, his only adherents being Mr.. Julian
GOLDSMITH and Lord Edmund Fiizmaurice
1t is recorded that his maiden speech was a
failure, and it was predicted that he would
never excel as an orator, thong his literary
merit and scholarship were generally ad.
mitted. He soon overcame his difidence and
in few months manifested fair ability as
debater. Taking under his special
protection that immense body of English
rustics who are shut out from the franchis,
erj)yed by the more fortunate jewellers il
! towns he became their bold and unswervins
| advocate. 1t is due TO Mr.. Trevelyan to say
that whenever he brings on his annual mo-
ton on the subject he makes few comments
| and he does not despair of eventually run
ming his favorite measure through commit
| tee and in time having il inscribed in tn,
statute book. In 1868 he was made civil
lord of the admiralty, but resigned in 1871
"on point of conscience connected with tht
government education BILL" He is of abou
| the same persuasion in politics as Sir Charlie
Dixie was before he received his promo
| ton, and is in favor of numbe
of sweeping reforms. In 1868 he wa
elected to Parliament for the Border
| burgs, and at the first general election h
was made member for Hawick, a little Scotch
constituency. He was rewarded for his allie
| glance TO Mr.. Gladstone by being appointed
secretary to the admiralty on the formation
of the new government. Mr.. Trevelyan i
well known az an author. In 1876 he pub
which was very cordially criticised. Hi
last book is The Youth Of For, which appeared
a short time ago.
In THE COMMONS
In the Commons, Harcourt, home secre
| tary, introduced bill for the repression o
| crime in Ireland. He characterized thu
| prevalence of crime there as a national dis
grace, and said: ''The time hes arrived TO
the entire House to unite in taking steps t.
repress it. The case we depIore to-day is no
| a solitary one. Crime is plsgue-spot oil
Ireland, and believe the Irish people desir,
! its removal. 1t springs from secret societies
and must be extirpated. The handspring o
crime is. an expectation of impuniiy, which
is only too well founded. The government
has therefore concluded that it Is necessary
in those places where ordinary law is no
observed, that special tribunals, consistin,
of three judges, be appointed by the lore
lieutenant to try cases without jury. TIL,
| Judgment of the court must be unanimous
and an appeal can be made TO the SupremI
Court. The judgment OF the latter will b
