Many efforts have been made TO

that she 10 determined 70 continue ner

SIR CHARLES dixie

Mr.. Gladst0ne's cabinet, and the head
and front OF the rebellion against the
renewal Of the crimes act. has not, It

lieutenant has insisted on the renewal
orally thought his was the
main influence which induced Mr..
| Gladstone to commit the government to
the renewal Of policy. When Sir
Charles Dixie rebelled against the re.
newal and succeeded in splitting the
cabinet on the question, the premier
managed, it is said, to have him invited
to Dublin to attend the meetings
of the commission on housing the
Irish poor. AS a ministerial
visit to the Irish capitol, Sir Charles, as
| matter of course, became the guest OF
the viceroy at Dublin castle, Snd the
hope was that Earl Spencer would be
able, by showing him the Irish situs-

gate his opposition to the goyernmencs
announced programme on the renewal
policy. But 1t seems that
Earl Spencer's missionary work
had bee n in vain and that Sir Charles
returns to London perfectly untractable.
The result will undoubtedly DO BACK
down on the part Of the government,
lena by introducing Q harmless Dill,
to remain in force about year.

sonal examination Of the Irish situation,
unable to justify the governne.npt; . s ssa;
lies at the bottom of the indisposition
which he gave as the reason for
cancelling all hisns egagements to make
speeches throughout the Ulster district.
