the Irish question by recent utterahces
Mr.. Parnell, the great Irish leader NJ
only at Arklow, week ago, but in COZ
ference of Irish nationalist at Dublin o
Tuesday, he declared boldly that II woul
be impossible to revive the native indus
tries of Ireland without free elective nj
tional assembly possessing the power O
control over all the political ana economi
affairs Of the country, and that he was cor
fident if not few months at least ley
wears, would bring back to the Irish peopl
the right to govern Ireland at home ant
Danish English misrule forever from tn
land. Special significance is added to MI
Parnells declaration by the fact that MI
Clifford Lloyd, who was the special instru
ment under Lord Spencer in the harsl
work of coercion in ireland, has written
letter conceding that local governmen
alone can now save Ireland. Both liberal
and tories in England are hurting at eacl
other the charge that Parnells boldness il
inspired by promises of aid in carrying on
his views from leaders of the opposite par
ties on account of well grounded belize
that the Parnell party will hold the balance
of power in the new parliament soon to be
elected.
The Schloss Kremzier, in Moravia, isiat
present the center of considerable Interest
as being the meeting place ofthe Emperor
Joseph, of Austria, and the Car of Russia
The meeting is made the occasion Of the
usual gorgeous festivities, while the real
business In hand will occupy but a few
hours in a back parlor 1t is said that the
Car bears through it all the careworn and
furtve look of one who Is not sure but the
next moment lie may be blown up by dy-
Mantle, while, not daring to trust even his
own faithful and well paid body guard of
soldiers, he has with him large mastiiI
of uncommon strength, that accompanies
him everywhere and watches by his couch
every night.
The S, biards have even forgotten the
presence of death which Cholera has
brought to their doors to get into big ex.
element over the seizure by Germany of n
foothold on the Caroline Islands. The
Carolines are a group of about 600 islands
in Oceanica, north of New Guinea that
were discovered by the Spaniards $50 years
ago and named after Charles v, but though
claimed were never occupied by Spain, and
ten years ago both England and Germany
notified Spain that Its claim to these islands
would not he recognized, and lately Ger
many established a colony there. The sud
den excitement of Spain on the subject is
believed to be stimulated by French influ-
ence, though Bismarck takes the matter
coolly and offers to submit the question to
arbitration.
The cholera record in Spain continues rs
dismal rs possible, the daily new cases
ranging between five and six thousand and
the deaths running from | 400 to 1000 u
day. In Marseilles, also, the panic Is at
its highest the deaths averaging so day,
and all who can are leaving the city. There
are also from 20 to 30 deaths day at Tou-
Ion, and the pestilence has extended to
many towns and villages in the department
of the Rhone.
