FREE IRELAND.
A Revival Of Armed Rebellion Is In
the Air.
Excitement in England Over the Speech Of
Mr.. Parnell.

LONDON, August 29.-Mr. F8rneIiS
speeches have come at just the right mo- |
ment to concentrate popular attention in |
England. The English politicians are still |
buried in contemplation of the great prob |
lem of how the cat will jump, and they |
maintain an unbroken silence. Into this |
void the clear notes of the Irish leader PEN |
etrated with exulting tone. His throwing
overheard of all subsidiary questions, and
making an immediate call for legislative
independence, created surprise and anger
at the first shock. Hitherto the English re-
ply has been an unbroken chorus of emphat-
icrefusaL The Liberals are especially warm,
their present cue being to go before the
country on an anti -Parnellite cry, arguing
that an enormous Liberal majority will
alone save the country from Parnell's die
tatorship. Mr.. Parnell in the mean time,
has retired to Wicklow, secure in the hckle-
ness, pliancy and necessity of the English
parties, the activity of his lieutenahts, dis
cipline of his organization, and his more
than ever supreme power in Ireland; The
Irish constituency have acclaimed the de.
cision to give him an absolute vote OF
all candidacy which he disapproved, and
excluding all rogues and cranks, to
build up party of an indissoluble unity.
1t is now considered certain that the Irish
party will have eighty seven seats in the
new Parliament. Wonderful confidence
reigns in ireland, and the meetings reach
Land League proportions. The members
of the Parliamentary party are everywhere
enthusiastic, and the conviction is general
that the end of the struggle is near. The
fracas in Dublin on Thursday, when Mr..
the Royal Horse Artillery, and Mr.. John
Albert Blakely, Deputy Lieutenant for
the county of Galway, is expected to
result in some sensational revelation of
manners, customs and morality of the Irish
aristocracy, especially that portion repre-
patch from Galway says that parties con-
cerned in the affray are Magistrates, and
are we'll known in the county. Pollok
owns large estates in Scotland in addition
ago he evicted all the tenants on his estates
in the latter place and turned the land into
an immense pasture. He has since become
the largest cattle and sheep breeder in Ire
land, and has taken prizes in fine cattle
and sheep at all the shows recently held in
Aid-de-C Camp while the Earl was Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland. A leading member
of the Kildare Club said to-day that
both Barry ar The and eImb ppn PH1k he s.iG
was staying at Keann's Hotel, opposite the
club house, and seeing Barry enter the lat
ter place, followed him and 1unched at the
same table. Both parties kept glaring at
each other during the lunch, but friend
prevented row. When Barry got through
his meal Pollok also arose from the table
and followed into the street. After the
fight with Barry. Pollok mounted Pat Cal
Ions car, reputed to be the fastest in Dub
lin, and drove to Burlington road, where he
met Nh. John Blakely, who had been yacht
ing with him just previous to the quarrel.
Mr.. Parnell's speech remains the sensa-
tion of the day. Stories of outrages are
also renewed. The banner of separation
being lifted, wild talk of armed rebellion
is revived. The alarm has spread like
wild fire in England, and the Liberal press
raise the cry, 'The Union is in danger"
while the Liberal orators trumpet, Down
with separation" Gladstone is back to
lead the Liberal hosts, though Harrington
began the battle in a speech tonight at
Rosendale. The declaration of Parnell
for separation gives new color to the
impending struggle. It is e god
send to the "grand old man" in the honr Of
| direst extremity. The Tories can now be
taunted.with the Parnell alliance. Public
opinion-.as crystolizing fast in favor of
Irish home rule, but it was long ago decid-
ed that separation means bloodshed. 1t is
an enemy on the threshold and inside the
gates. Public opinion inexorably DEGREES
| the maintenance of the union, and this
will be an effective campaign cry CT the
Liberal party.
