LONDON, Jan. 19-Deputations from the vari-
GUS branches of the Loyal and Patriotic Union
waited on Lord Salisbury to-day, and urged that
a stern enforcement of the law accompany any
concession granted to the Nationalists by the
government. and stated that the Parnellites
utilized the existing local bodies of the Land
League to terrorize the nonleaguers in their
respective districts The deputations believed it
would destroy the trade and commerce OF Ire
land. The manner Of the deputations was some
what arrogant and dictatorial, as If they had the
public opinion OF Great Britain at their back. It
was SO offensive to Lord Salisbury that he
became restless during the addresses.
and instead of replying at length
and making political oration, as was expected,
he dismissed the whole business with snappy
three minute reply. In this he avoided politics
entirely. and declared that, as representative
of the government, he was there to listen to
them and not to expound any policy. He added,
in dismissing the deputations, that the govern
ment fully valued the Importance of the painful
and striking facts presented, and said that the
government would be found faithful to its re
sponsibilities The Loyalists were greatly
chagrined at the shortness of Lord Salisbury's
reply. He explained that it would be unseemly
to unfold the governments Irish policy two days
before the meeting of PsrliamenS
The Loyalists at Belfast are indignant over
Mr. Gladstone's refusal to receive a deputation
of Loyalists from this city. There is marked
revival in party feeling in the north of Ireland.
Mr.. Gladstone. writing to the mayor of Bel
fast, said that his receiving the Ulster deputa-
tion would give credence to the mischievous
statement that he intended to make proposals
with reference to Ireland The Standard says
that Lord Harrington will receive the Ulster
deputation.
1t is reported that Mr.. Gladstone, in response
to urgent appeals from his party, will take an
early opportunity to say that he never intended
to propose the restoration of the Irish Parlia-
ment, or any measure that would tend to the
separation of Ireland.
The regular fortnightly meeting of the Ma
tional League was held at Dublin this after
noon. Mr.. John Dorsey, member of Parliament
for West Mayo occupied the chair. and in an ad-
dress said he cared nothing about the proposed
coercion or reform. The Parnellites were mas
ters of the situation, and before the end OF the
year Ireland would have its own Parliament.
Mr.. William H Redmond, member of Parlia-
ment for North Armagh, said: England has
enemies everywhere. and the first blow struck at
Ireland would fire train, perhaps leading to
successful Indian mutiny, and lighting the Rus
SLAMS into London to stable their horses in the
House of Commons. No power on earth could
prevent retaliation by Ireland. The Parnellites
were to persevere in their demands for home
rule"
Mr. Kenny. member of Parliament. said that
any government attempting to interfere with the
National League would be deprived of Office in
few weeks.
Despite the fact that the tenants on the Irish
estates of the Earl of Listowell recently pledged
themselves not to pay any rent until reduction
of 80 per cent. was made, over half Of them
have, during the past week, paid in full. The
tenants Of the Duke of Devonshire paying
their rents freely at the 20 per ceut reduction
recently granted by the Duke.
