dare, a great plain owned by the British
crown and used for military purposes, is
scene of activity at present. The place
is being put in readiness to receive five
| additional regiments. These fresh troops
are to be used in assisting In the work OF
eviction in the winter. The authorities
expect that the default IN rents among
the Irish peasantry will be unusually
great, and that the present force will,
unless much strengthened, prove totally
inadequate for the work of protecting
the interests of the landlords.
LORD MAYOR sULLIvAN'S ADDRESS.
Lord Mayor Sullivan presided to-day
over the fortnightly meeting Of the Ma
tional League here. In his address he
declared that Ireland was prepared to ac-
cept Mr.. Gladstone's home rule bill as a
settlement of the controversy with Eng
land. The Tories refused to give the
Irish parliament. OF course Irishmen
would not refuse to receive whatever
good things the Tories might
benefaction, but the Tories might
as well know now as later tnat the peo-
pie of Ireland would never be contented
until they had a parliament of their own.
In conclusion. he advised Gen. Sir Red
vers Butler when he reaches Kerry, over
which he was recently appointed CON-
mander, to at once proceed to give his at
tention to the Kerry landlords, who are
fast driving their tenants to despair.
Alta meeting of the National League to.
day 1t was announced that the receipts
for the past fortnight amounted to f199,
and that grants OF 91SS had been made to
! evicted tenants.
The league and It's branches must sus-
tain the tenants and must see that the
land from which tenants are cast out be
made curse instead OF blessing to new
tenants. DR.. Kenny, NJ. p, said that
tenants must combine and not allow any
| body In their midst who had the baseness
and folly to take lands from which ten
ant had been evicted for non-payment OF
rent.
MEETING OF THE CABINET.
LONDON, Aug. 24.-The Cabinet met
the Irish question. After long discus
sion of Mr.. ParnelPs amendment to the
address in reply to the Queens speech,
the ministers decided to oppose it.
PARNELL RESUMES THE DEBATE.
| Mr.. Parnell was loudly cheered In the
House of Commons tonight on rising 70
| resume the debate on the address in reply
to the Queens speech. He said he be-
lieved tnat if the country had been given
three more weeks to consider the home
rule bill the Tories would not now be
seen installed on the Treasury bench.
| The Irish party had every reason to be
satisfied with its present position. The
majority of the Liberals had declared in
favor of Irish autonomy. The Tories had
only profited from temporary Liberal hesi-
| Uation. After the present government
had exhibited themselves for year or So
a spectacle for God and man, in an at
tempt to govern Ireland, Liberal hesita-
tion would vanish,
IRELAND's A WINNING CAUSE.
The Irish had every reason to have
patience. Theirs was the winning cause.
II the government speeches were intended
to exasperate ireland they would fail to
! have that effect. At the same time, there
| would be considerable difficulty with the
rent question. He regretted that the
government had not appreciated the
| gravity of the occasion. The ROYAL Com
mission would be unable to report until
! the pinch of the winter was over. Mr..
! Parnel said he had only agreed TO the
| adoption of the land purchase act OF 1885
because he then believed settlement of
| the national question would come con-
currently, and because the Conservative
| government had sent to Ireland Lord
| Carnarvon, who was an avowed home

changed.
RENTS MUST BE REDUCED.
The government must reduce rents
either at the expense Of the landlords or
at the expense Of the British tax payers.
| Mr.. Parnell denounced the dishonesty Of
attempting to stimulate Irish Industries
| by liberal doses OF English public money.
| He said the Irish people utterly refused
! to sell their national birthright for the
mess of pottage which the government
| offered. Parnellite cheers. The way to
develop the resources of Ireland was to
allow the Irish to develop themselves.
They did not want an influx OF capital,
tor there was plenty of that in Ireland.
They wanted to be allowed TO help them
selves. TCheers. The government allowed
the Irish to build harbors, drain the land
and generally develop the resources of the
country when they did not allow the Irish
to reap the profit. lCheers.l
THF FRAUD REPUDIATED,
The Irish party repudiated the proposed
fraud on the British tax payer. Let the
government which obtained office by mis-
representatiOn-he would not say lying
pursue their own way and establish a
wholesale system OF bribery and corrup-
ton. Cheers.
Mr.. Parnell here read his amendment
to the address and proceeded. He said
that judicial rents were too high. He ac-
cused the government OF encouraging z
landlords TO evict by the Wholesale, know
ing that agrarian crimes always followed
eyictons. Why did tenants submitting
to a moonlight raid refuse TO give evl-
dence? Because, taking Kerry as an ex-
ample. the tenants knew that but for
moonlight raids Lord Kenmore would not
leave roof over the heads Of the tenants.
The landlords would clamor for coer-
cion and force the government to adopt
coerciye measures. Yes, he believed that
coercion would come, and very severe
coercion too, coercion that would not stop
at criminals. but attack political oppo-
nents. If he might offer suggestion he
would urge that judicial tenancies should
