 BOSTON, Nov 2s-E. A. Perry cables from London to the Herald that the London papers treat the Dillon summons various1y according to their politics. The Times says l there is undoubtedly grave doubt as to the 1 efficacy of the governments course and is ! more moderate in discussing the topic than some Conservative journals. The News 1 QIiberaD plainly condemns the Nation alist plan of campaign, but doubts the advisabii- 1 ty of prosecuting Dillon. The Ec opomist, | a paper which wields great influence among | business men and is staunch supporter of
 Lord Hartington's policy, accepts the action of the government as inevitable though re- grettable, condemns the strike against rent as insurrection in passive rm which if permitted to obtain foothold will spread till it becomes general and results in the an initiation of the landlords property. No paper expresses belief in the rumor that the government will resort to military force to
 put down the anti rent agitation. The gov
 ernment could not take such step without
 calling Parliament together, though
 of course it could meet . sud-
 den emergency without instant
 repression and take the risk of obtaining in-
 demnity from Parliament. There is, how ever, no evidence that such plan is eontem-
 plated The Cabinet all along has been di-
 vided on the Irish rent question. Lord Ran
 dolph Churchill, Mir. Henry Matthews and
 Sir Michael Hicks Beach had hoped to avoid & collision by using official pressure to bring about amicab1e arrangements between land
 lords and tenants. Lord Iddesleigh, Lord Ashbourne, Lord Hamilton and MT. Smith predict the failure of this policy. Lord
 Salisbury at first leaned toward Churchil's view, but of late he has favored more reso- lute action. Nearly every Nationalist mem Der of Parliament will take the stump the coming week and if the government intends following the course it has begun with Dillon it's officials will have plenty of issuing and serving summonses
 J. J. Clancy cables to the Herald: The prediction made in my message last week that the government would strike out soon in Ireland has already come true. You are already aware of the proceedings instit uted against John Dillon and of the proclamation of the Sligo meeting to morrow, but this is not all that has been resolved on at the castle. Other members of the parlia
 mentary party will be struck at and there is . reason for believing also that the United Ireland newspaper will be attacked in some way, that an at cret trustees who are holding the reduced rents of the unrelenting rackrenters, and that meetings generally on the rent question will be soon prohibited. If I am correctly in formed, some of the would-be preservers of law and order are also for taking summary action against the National league and thus the boast of the Tory party and government that they could keep the coun- try quiet without home rule is falsified in moment and we are once more back into a gloomy and ill-omened round of coercion. That the government will be backed up in Parliament is certain, for there is no doubt that Hartington's advice on the subject of the new departure has been asked and that he has given Salisbury the most cordial as surances of support, but it will be different among the English and Scotch peo- pie. With them Dillon is positive sincerity and his courage and in fact as far as they are concerned they could not have begun worse than by making Dillon the first sufferer. As for Dillon himself and the other leaders threatened, they of course do not care for the government or anything it may cannot now be stopped. The tenantry on no it is9' already. r Of course Dillon will be imprisoned on Tuesday, for he will not give the bail required. There is not man of the eighty-six members who will not be ready to take his place as they are called to do 80. It is just possible <Iot& have 1a r1v iu tn-r row, but if so it will be so much the worse for the government, while as to the object for which the meeting was called nothing could well be more scandalous than the pack ing of the jury panel for the winter assizes in that town. In a county where nine tenths of the people are Catholics and Nationalists and where all the prisoners to be tried for agrarian offenses are Catholics and Nationalists also the jury list contains a majority of Orange names. If the crown managers further exercise their powers to or der Catholics to stand aside in any consider able number the trials will be 8 hideous farce. It will be like juries of butchers sit ting sheep. The last secret un- earthed by United Ireland-the letter sent by member uf the royal commis- sion on the land question to an English member of Parliament giving g sum- mary of General Buffers evidence, adds to the gravity of the governments position. That Butler should so decidedly take the side of the people and the league utterly damns the governments policy and thatc 8. member of the commission should have written such a letter damns the commission. Lord Milltown is charged with being the writer and he has not denied the charge Of course he was always known to be 8 con- summate partisan. but it was not expected that he would display himself so nakedly even in private. Altogether we appear to be in for some lively times and if the home rule bill does not get hold of the field Ire land, as MT. Gladstone predicted, does. & O'Brien Defies The PoIfce-A Crowd
 Put To Flight With Fixed Bayo-
 nets.
 SL1Nao, Nov. 2S.-The leaders of the Irish l National league held 8 private meeting in the Town hall this afternoon to discuss ! plan of future action. MT. William O'Brien, I II. F., and Commoner O'Kelly went to River | stown where platform was erected and the chapel bell tolled as g summons to the peo- pie to assemble. Mr. O'Brien ascended the | platform and addressed the crowds which | was momentarily increasing. He denounced 1 the action of the government in prohibiting | meetings and prosecuted members of the | league in scatling languaege. These things 1 he said had no terrors for him on his col l leagues. The Irish people would be able to ! overcome these and all other unworthy f schemes for expressing public opinion and he ! exulted in their power to do so. The police | here interposed and threatened to arrest Mr.. | O'Brien, but the gentleman difed the police l to molest him. The police being numerical l ly weak no attempt was made to arrest the | ls-
