THE OLD WORLD.
GREAT BRITAIN,

LONDON, April 2.-On account of a
steady stream of letters containing threats
OF death and destruction of buildings.
which continue to be received by promi-
nent persons and government functiona-
ries, the previous precautions against the
execution OF these threats are rot remit
ted, but new ones are also being devised
and carried out. This is particularly the
case in the London Gas works which are
carefully guarded against surprises and
none but known and trusted hands allowed
on the premises.
Parnell has received a letter from his
friend and co-laborsr, VIM. Redmond, who
has gone to Australia to organize a land
league in that country. Redmond reports
that he has been successful beyond all ex-
pectation and that the prospects are bright
er for Ireland on account of his visit.
The war Office has taken the question of
explosives in hand with determine
ton. Among other measures taken for the
purpose of thwarting the dynamite
tends, 1t has ordered that expert
ments be undertaken with view
to preparing an analysis of the various
forms and component parts of all SUBJ
stances that are capable of being en-
ployed as explosives. The result of their
work will be given the public and it is be-
lieved the irregularity of the men who are
now engaged in the manufacture and use
of these diabolic contrivances will be
thwarted by this means.
DUBLIN, April 2.-The reports from
Limerick say that owing to the improved
condition of affairs in that city, the extra
police which have been kept up for some
time past, have been materially decreased,
this being on the advice Of Clifford Lizard,
the magistrate at Limerick,
LONDON, April 2.-Three constables from
Balla, Ireland, have gone to America in
quest of Hynes and Valley, who are sus-
pected of having murdered Flerick, in
June, 1880. The crime created much SEN
sation at the time, as it Was believed to be
political murder. The arrest of twenty
six persons last week at Ballinrobe, charged
with being accomplicss in the murder has
revived recollections of the crime.
LONDON, April 2.-The st. James Gazette
publishes an anonymous letter which came
into possession of one of its editors, and
which asserts that the Fenians are engaged
IN sending packages containing linen in
fected with smallpox to persons who are
obnoxious to the Irish National party.
LONDON, April I'm the commons, Par
nell says the recent report of an interview
with O'Kelly and himself in the French
papers, was substantially accurate. The
interesting point of the statement is that
these gentlemen say the British govern
ment took the initiative in the Kilmain-
ham treaty, making overtures to Parnell
while In Jail. They also say that the state
ment of Lord Carlingford, to the effect
that Parnell, himself, made the first over
lures, was inaccurate and untrue. Mr..
Gladstone, at the conclusion of Parnell's
avowal, endorsed the correctness of Carl
ipgford's statement, and reiterated his re-
fusal to appoint committee of inquiry
into the subject.
A letter from Lord Randolph Churchill
makes strong plea III support of Sails
bury's claims to the sole leadership of the
tories. Against him, says Churchill, are
directed all the malignant efforts of envi-
Gus mediocrity, and he, partly from an ex-
aggerated idea of political loyalty, is in
danger of being sacrificed to the inter
necine jealousies of the most useless of his
former colleagues. The present manage
ment of affairs by the janta has resulted
in series Of neglected chances and has
been signalized by cowardice and inoppor-
tune combativeness.
The returns of the. fiscal year ended
March 81 are all in. They show the reve-
nue. of Great Britain to be eS9,0O4,O 900, and
expenditures Esq, O86,OOO. In commenting
on the figures the Times says; ''We may as
sumo that the greater part of the addition
al funds voted for prosecuting the war in
Egypt were betrayed from the total ex-
penditures. The prospects of the budget
for the coming year thus appear very salts
