Cnrresnondence between Great Britain
on6 the United States relative to suspecsS|
win show there has been no weak acknowF
adrrmert of pretentions inconsistent with
International law and common sense.
Great Britain has firmly maintained the
nosition that American lrishmen in Ireland
nnst submit like other Irishmen to laws
deemed necessary by Parliament. 1t is in
Difference to comfy OF nations not to any
claim of right that the prisoners of Amer
loan nationality were offered liberty if they
would leave the country, if some of them
fo6Iishlv and insolently refused to give
such pledge they must take chance of re.
naming in Jail as long as executives deems
II necessary 1t, however, is no longer
doubtful that the cabinet is considering
whether prisoners may not be liberated ex-
cept those arrested on suspicion of being
personally concerned in outrages.
Earl Granville, secretary offoreign affairs
said the resignation for Ireland had been
presented. It is the intention of the gov
rrnment to release imprisoned members
of parliament. Earl Gladstone explained
Earl Cowper had not resigned the Lord
Lieutepancy on aecsun of any difference
the government. He confirmed the report
that Lord Carlingford would temporarily
take the presidency of company during
the Earl Spencer's absence in Ireland.
FIVE RELEASED.
Five suspects were Internationally re-
leased to-day from Jail.
Gladstone in the Commons made an
announcement similar to that of Earl
7
stone stated a large number of other sus-
poets will be released, and the government
instead of renewing it's coercion act, would
introduce measure remedying its admin
istration of Justice in Ireland. He said
instructions have already been sent to
Ireland for the release of the three impris
oned members of Parliament and that the
lists suspects were being carefully consid-
cred with view to release of allexcept
those who were arrested on suspicion
Of having been personally
concerned in outrages. These releases
would be on the governments sole respon-
sibilitv. Gladstone stated the Forster had
resigned because he was not willing to
share this responsibility, and that Forster
would make personal explanation Thurs
day The measure which the government
will introduce, remedying the administra
ton of justice in Ireland, deals with the
protection of life and property. Sexton,
at the conclusion of Gladstone's remarks,
said the government had taken the first
step in policy that would crown the ad-
ministration with glory, and would pro-
duce ties of mutual interest between Ire
land and England.
Speaking with reference to the coercion
act, Gladstone made the special reservation
if peace and security should be jeepardized
by the action of secret societies. the gov
ernment would consider it its duty to pro
pose counteracting measures. He declared
the government did not think the coercion
act had failed, as it had served important
purpose in great crisis. He warmly prais
ed the manner in which Forster performed
his duties, and expressed regret of his re-
tirement. Gladstone declared none of the
measures announced in the Queens speech
at the opening session, except the resolu
lions in regard to the rules of parliamen-
tary procedure. would be allowed to stand
in the way of measures which the govern
ment would introduce for restoring peace
and order in Ireland.
Gladstone said the release of Davitt was
totally distinct from the release of the sus-
poets which was question it might be
right for the government to consider.
N0rthcote likeped the government to a
pendulum swinging from one side back to
the other
Chamberlain, president of the board of
trade, or Shaw Leafare, commissioner of
works and buildings, will probably succeed
Foster. If the former, Sir Charles Dyke,
under foreign secretary, will probably sue
ceed to the presidency of the board of trade.
The Times says policy now to be tried
IN lreiaed is one of concession and concili
alton, pure and simple.
