GEN. BULLER IN IRELAND.
The Situation Not as Serious as He
Had Anticipated.


LONDON, Sept. S.-Gen. Sir Redvers
Butler reports that county Kerry, Ire
land, and the western part OF county
Cork are in a less serious state Of lawless-
ness than he expected, although he says
there is widespread decentralization
among the peasantry, which Will require
energetic and sustained effort TO correct.
Gen. Builer adds that satisfactory pro-
aress is being made in the work OF ar
resting The spread of decentralization, and
that local sources of crime and disorder
are being especially checked.
Since the interview between Lord Hart
ington and Lord Salisbury all hope OF
compromise between the government and
MIR. Parnel has been abandoned. Lord
Randolph Churchill Is disposed to bargain
with Mr. Parnell on the basis of govern
ment support of the single clause OF Mr..
PsrnelPs bill relating TO suspension OF
evictions. The majority Of the Cabinet
are opposed to any Irish legislation until
next year.
NO TAMPERING TO BE ALLOWED.
Lord Harrington insisted that there
should be no tampering with the Parnell
bill, and promised Lord Salisbury the vote
of the UnlOnists if the government abso-
lutely opposed the bill. The Chamberlain
section Will not vote on the bill. Mr..
Chamberlain, who has gone to the cOun-
try, says he will take no part in the de-
bate. lie adheres to his determination to
do nothing to embarrass the government
In dealing with ireland.
Lord Randolph Churchill will offer Mr..
Parnell facilities for a second reading OF
his bill on sept. 16, on condition that the
Parnellites offer no obstruction to passing
the whole of the estimates. The Parnel-
lites, acting to obtain control Of the gov
ernment, insist upon the consideration OF
MIR. ParnelPs bill before the estimates.
The probable issue will be that Mr.. Par
nell Will accept Lord Randolphs offer,
knowing that the defeat Of bis bill Is GER
tain. Mr.. Parnell has sent a draft of his
measure to Mr.. Gladstone. The first
| clause provides that lease holders may
apply to the court to fix the judicial rent;
second, that tenants, whose rents were
liked year ago, may apply to the court
for reValuatiOn; and third, that the
court, pending decision on the applica-
tions, may suspend an ejectment on pay
ment OF such proportion of the rent as the
court may decide to be proper.
The Standard Gays that Mr. Gladstone
has announced that he will not support
Mr.. ParnelPs land bills.
MCARTHY's DEPARTURE.
A farewell banquet was given to Justin
Mccarthy this evening prior to his de-
parture for America. MIR. Parnell pre-
sided. In a speech Mr.. Parnell said that
Americans would welcome Mr.. Mccarthy
as the foremost Irishman Of the age and as
the most truthful exponent OF the Irish
| question. Great Britain's first duty, he
said, was to give effect TO the principles
upon which her own greatness Is based,
namely, rule Of the people by the people
and for the people; and, also, IL she
pleased, to guarantee fair play TO the
Protestant community In Ireland, though
he doubted that there were many who
feared that the Protestants would not
have fair play. A MAJORITY OF the Lib
erals had supported the Irish bill, and he
hoped, with weapons OF legality and mod
GRAFTON, to enable Ireland to take the po-
sition which God had destined her. Mr..
Mccarthy said he was not going to
America on a political mission, but
merely to pay friendly visit.
