Still Talking About CIadstone's Irish
Land Scheme.

LONDON, March 22.-The newspapers In
Eastern Prussia assert that the Emperor OF
Russia has signed a decree expelling nom
naturaliZed Germans from Poland. Labor
ers without contract must leave within three
days, and those having contracts WITHIN
q month. Mechanics are given three months;
| land holders six months, and manufactur-
ers nine months, within which to leave the
country. The statement is believed in Ber-
lin, despite Herr Won Pultkamer's statement
to the contrary in the lower house of the
Prussan Diet yesterday.
The exodus Of Jews from Russian Poland
has attained an extraordinary figure. Statis-
tics show that during the year 1885 no less
than 20, $50 left the country for America, to
say nothing of those who emigrated else
| where.
Serious Riots of Anarchists In Bel
GUM.
BRUssELs. March 22.-Very extensive
riots of Anarchists occurred at Jemmepes
and Tilleur Saturday night A great amount
! of property was damaged AT Liege, ON the
same night, there was an open conflict be-
tween the troops and a large body OF An
archists. A large number OF men on Doth
sides were injured. Some idea of the seri-
GUS nature of the demonstration may be
formed from the fact that today no less than
6,0OO regular troops are on duty guarding the
districts disturbed by the rioters on Satur-
day. Gendarmes and strikers at Seraing are
in disorganized conflict today, and both
sides have been firing ON each other Many
persons have been wounded. At Liege no
disorders have as yet occurred.

Union has written long letter to Mr.. Glad

really desire for complete independence.
The political deadlock continues. Earl
Roseberry, secretary for foreign affairs, to-
day held conference with Mr.. Gladstone;
The cabinet was not summoned 10 speclal
meeting today, although it was rumored ON
Saturday that the political situation would
render such summons necessary.
John Morley, chief secretary for Ireland;
Earl Granville, secretary for the colonies;
Earl Spencer, ex-Irish viceroy and now pres
ident of the council, and Mr.. Gladstone are
discussing plans for the adjustment OF the
differences at present disturbing the cabinet.
1t is affirmed this evening by persons sup
lieved to know that there never has been
any foundation for the statement that Glad
stone intended to ask the authorities to issue
loan in order to carry out his scheme to
buy out the real estate owners OF Ireland.
1t is now declared that the premier, in his
scheme, proposes the appointment OF COM
mission of experts to fix the value Of the va
rious land properties in Ireland, which at
these valuations are to be handed over to
the government in exchange for consols. In
this way Ireland is to be made debtor to
the empire for the entire amount paid to the
landlords, together with interest, the whole
sum to be repaid into the imperial treasury
by Ireland in installments within the term
Of fifty years, at end of which term the lesseeS
are to become the owners This is the plan in
the domestic arrangement between the gov
ernment OF Ireland and the tenants, Ireland
becoming tenant of the empire, to the sub
letting to the occupiers at sums whose ag-
gregate will include rent, taxes and levy to
meet the interest on the consols and create
sinking fund for their final liquidation. 1t
necessarily involves home rule.
