| Ell Mahdis camp, received last night, con-
firm the report that the False Prophet has
started out to subjugate the entire world.

truth may not come out for half a century"

| Inundated"
Parneil's Amendment.
LONDON, February Shin accordance
with previous announcements. Parnell moved
|
amendment to the address in reply
to the Green's speech. The amend
ment severely condemns the policy
of the Government in Ireland, asserting that
it has failed to trauquilizs the people, has
wantonly prohibited public meetings and in
terfereG with the freedom Of speech, aud has
permitted magistrates to publicly applaud the
| conduct of Lord Rossmore, who had been
| superseded as Justice of Peace for distuI bling
the public order and inciting ill.will and
strife between the different classes in Ireland.
! The amendment further demands the immedi-
ate abandonment of the policy of stimulating
| State-aidtd emigration Of the Irish. In the
course of his remarks, with which he ACCOM-
! panied his motion, Parnell asserted that the
recent visit Of Northcote to Ireland had been
the exciting cause Of civil disturbance.
The Orange outrsges were, in his opinion, o
grave misfortune to the Conservatives, whom
| NorthcOte had dragged st the heels of dis-
! credited Irish faction. He denounced in strong
terms the oratory from the Orange platforms
during the recent attempt to introduce Ma
| tionsl League into Ulster. Parnell, con-
nell said the Orange demonstrations were not
| spontaneous, but were attended by hirelings
paid by landlords. The Orange opposition
to the Nationalist meetings was violent and
seditious. Cries Of "Oh ~ Every one par
ticipating therein was liable to prosecution
under the intimidation clause Of the Crimes
Act. Recent events in the north of Ireland,
however, would hasten the time when Ire.
land would legislate for herself on her own
soil.
| Sullivan, member for Westmsath, said ths
| Oraugernen were obstacles to the spread Of
| loyalty in the north of Ireland.
Churchill CONSERVATIVE said the dismissal
of Lord R1ssmore was bait to catch the
Irish vote. Trevellyan, Chief Secretary for
Ireland had fallen to point that would be
no discredit to any country. Rents were be-
ing more regularly paid than in The center
and east of England; that indictments TO
boycotting violence were no longer obeyed.
The idea that the Government had suspended
Lord Rossmore 10 win the Irish vote was
almost as wild as Parnell's statement that the
Government was actusted by desire TO play
into the hands of the Otangemen. 1t was
creditable to the Lord Lieutenant Of Ireland
that few casualties had occurred, when so
many armed and excited men were parading
the towns.
