LoSDos, May 5.-Mr. Michael Davitt, an
nounces to-day that he has decided to aban
don politics and to take up his residence in
Australia. Mr. Davitt refuses to state his
reasons for his intention of emigrating to
Australia, further than that he is convinced
that his attempt to popularize in Ireland the
land naturalization projects of Mr.. George
is failure and that he can better himself
financially in Australia, where he has
many friends who would gladly welcome
him.. In an interview prominent Parnell
ite member of Parliament in regard to
Mr. Davitt's intention Of withdrawing from
politics, said: 1T did not require Mr.. Par
nelrs emphatic declaration at Drogheda to
stamp out Mr.. Davitt's attempts TO popular
ze in Ireland the land naturalization pro-
ects of Mr. George. When Mr. Davitt
lately induced Mr. George to give a lecture
in Dublin he must have felt convinced that
The effort in which he was engaged was fore
doomed to failure. Mr.. Georges views on
property in land had never the slightes,
chance of receiving popular acceptance in
Ireland. Mr.. Davitt has long ceased to be
in sympathy in Parnellism. He was once
useful in the war against landlords, but he
has PLAYED his part and is now source of
embarrassment rather than help to the
Parnellite leaders

LONDON, Nav 5.-The Observer is aston
shed that the City of Rome did not follow
up the information from the sailing vessel
rerorting having some of the crew of the
State of Florida aboard and attempt to Illicit
further facts 1t says the Importance of the
matter would Justify delay of passOge but
the fact is growing that the mania for swift
transatlantic passages has taken away from
shippers the interest they formerly took IN
spcaking of vessels, even when, as in the
case of the State of Florida, a feeling Of hui
manity would naturally stimulate curiosity.
No explanation is yet forthcoming of the
strange silence of the officers of the City OF
Rome.
