DUBLIN, Feb. 20.-The prisoners
charged with numbering Cavendish and
Burke were again brought up to-day to
hear the formal reading of the dispositions
taken in the case, which was necessary
before their committal trial was COM
pleted. The prisoners before they were
removed from court shook hands with
each other heartily. Patrick Whelan was
bailed on his own surety in ESQ, and on
two other sureties in f25 each. He is
charged with treason and felony in con-
| nection with the discovery of arms.
Carey has failed to identify Mrs. Bvrne.
and as she is not the woman whose arrest
was desired she will be discharged. 1t
has been ascertained that it was a sister
instead of the wife of Frank Byrne who
should have been arrested. A man named
Quinnham and two men named Mahoney.

have been arrested. They are charged
with being members of the Invincibles.
The wives and mothers of the prisoners
were admitted to the gallery of the court
to-day, and warmly greeted the prisoners.
LONDON, Feb. 20.-The Times this morn
ing resumes its attack on the Land
League. 1t says: ''No agitator who re-
fused to tolerate or avail himself of the
powers of Ribbonism or Fenianism, or
even worse forms of crime, could hope to
| impose an unwritten law or be accorded
the authority of an uncrOwned King"
The Standard also attacks Parnell for
his silence i'll the House of Commons yes
terday on the question of the conspiracy
| disclosures in Dublin, and appeals to the
people and authorities of America to aid
in the search for the criminals,
In the House of Commons this after
noon, Mr.. Trevelyan, Chief Secretary for
Ireland, was again questioned about
Sheridan, but declined to give anV further
information regarding him than that he
gave yesterday He referred his ques-
toner to Mr.. Parnell
Sir VIM. HarcOurt earnestly denied that
there was any communication between
the government and the suspects in Kill
mainham Jail except through Mr.. Forster.
Mr.. GOrst, in moving his amendment to
the address in reply to the speech from
the throne, declaring that in view
of the confession of the Irish
assassins, no further concessions
should be made to lawless agitation,
said twas generally believed that the en-
plOying of persons engaged in Outrages to
suppress them, was forced upon the
government by Mr.. Chamberlain, Presi-
dent of the Board of Trade. He said he
believed that Mr.. Gladstone, when en-
gagged in the KIlmainham treaty negOtia-
tiOns, was made the dupe of the inner
circle of the Cabinet, which, like the Irish
Invincibles, had 'ENO. l." He pointed
to the fact that an outbreak of Outrages
always accompanied the accession of the
liberals to power.
Sir William HarcOurt said Mr.. GOrst
had no right to base his speech on the
evidence of one witness. He would not
take the trouble to repudiate the charge.
He admitted the government had failed to
stop the commission of crime at first, but
said it was owing to the inefficiency of the
police.
The Central Neaos says: ''The police are
convinced that the man known as No. is

Dublin. She was examined at the Castle
this morning, and will be charged in the
Police Court this Safternoon with being
concerned in the reasonable conspiracy.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: 1T is stat
ed that the government will open at Dub
lin Castle on Friday an inquiry into a
conspiracy of much wider area and of
more destructive aim than. that of the
murder society,""
