sundry Cable chips.

New York, 16.-HerGLd's 10, Ion
cable: The policy Of the consery ives
with regard to Ireland, has thrown the
rad Gals into sort OF pan C. They ex-
claim that it is Revolutionary" The
main idea Is to hsve the stste buy out ell
the landlords who are willing TO sell
their estates on the basis of twenty-one
years OF he judicial rent (which ranges
about 70 per cent. below the rates
hitherto chGrged). land debentures bear
ing pc: cent. interest being Issued to
| the sellers, the state of course guarantee
ing payment of the debentures at matur-
ity, and the surplus of the Irish Church
funds being made part of the guarantee.
1t Is probable that the amount OF sc,ua
cost required from the treasury would be
comparatively small as the debenIura
be gladly accepted By the land
lords. The s. ecmIG.er which j.
manifes!ly alarmed, declares that
100000 900 would be needed. but l have
it on good authority that the real smount
wanted would not exceed $40, 600, 600,
and probably would fall below this sum.
Tt is proposed to deal with the arrears of
rent on the same principle. the state adj
VRncing money to pay off psrt ana the
laDdlor1 RENTING the remainder. The
proposition 10 carry it out will be laid
formally before the House on the frat
Monday in Msy by w. q. Smith. NJ. P.
for Westminster. The radicals dare not
oppose it, for they stand openly COM
mitted to the central principle of the |
measure, and the Irish people are re-
ported to be enth usisstically in its favor. |
No compulsion would be put upon the |
landlords to part with their property, but |
those who wish 10 sell would be able to |
obtain their prices and have done with
it. This new departure leaves the
government high and dry, and must
cause q deep and wide sensation
90 soon as it is thoroughly
understood throughout the country. As
for the other problems presented in Ire
land for q solution of the conservatives
would probably be in favor of libersting
the suspects, while st the same time they
would take energetic measures to pre-
serve order by strictly legal means.
With reference to the case OF DR..
Lamson, the publication here of the afi-
davits concerning the existence of insan-
ity in his family and his own eccentrici-
ties, compels the admission in many
quarters that il one half of this evidence
had been produced at the trial, the jury
would have found the prisoner not guilty ,
on the ground Of insanity. At the same
time the press is still very hostile to the
prisoner. The almost universal cry is,
I'VE don't want any G0iteau farces in
English courts ofiustice,' AID the ques-
ion ia asked: sit suspicious of Lamson's
insanity we're entertained by his friends
and family, why were his counsel kept in :
litter ignorance Of the facts" The exhi- !
oitions made at the GuiteaU trial have .
greatly prejudiced poor Lsmson's case in
he minds of large part of the British
public, casting suspicion On all insanity
pleas. It seems likely at this time of
writing that further reprieve will be
granted to LRmson, but the case is sur
eunded with doubt. The home secre-
airy has been bitterly sssailed every
where for the first reprieve, and people
10 not scruple to say that his action was
Iue to his American connections, Lady
1srcourt being q daughter Of Motley,

ardoned for hesitating about taking fur
her action in q business SO manifestly

ions By the syndicate of liars that Gould i

The tide of American travel has al

New Workers are in London, and the
