IRISH ORGANIZATION.
The Government are blamed for an exhibition of
weakness in withdrawing the Irish Constabulary
bill 70 which the Parnellites objected, and in intro
ducing the Registration bill. which they demanded.
The Tories assert that this compromise results from

may now be strangled. Fears prevail respecting
Alexandria, which may yet be scourged.
SOUTH AFRICA AND CHINA.
Usibepu's further representations satisfy the
English officials that there is prospect of his
attempting to interfere with the reserve territory
or with Dunn's Land. His willingness 10 accept
Shepstone or Dunn an adviser points to the
