DUBLIN, Dec. 17.-Mr. Dillon and Mr..

much disturbed and hurt physically. In
addition to the troubles which the gentle
men had yesterday at Loughrea. when they
were arrested for acting as tenants trus-
teuS, they met with All accident on the road
home. The horse drawing the car on which
they were riding from LOughrea TO Atherey
bolted on the way and both were thrown
violently to the ground. The gentlemen
were badly shaken UP and considerably
bruised by their fall. During the progress
of the meeting at LOughrea yesterday, at
which Messrs. Dillon, O'Brien. Harris and
Sheehy were arrested, Mr.. Sheehy received
summons to appear and show cause why
he should not be bound over to keep the
peace because of speech he made recently
at Kylebeg and, which, it was claimed, Was
calculated to arouse disorder.
PRESS COMMENT.
The News Letter CONSERVATIVE, of Bel
fast. referring TO the arrests. says the re-
suits would have been deporabe if the
government had been weak enough to allow
man who had just been ordered to find
sureties fol- his good behavior to set the
law at defiance. The Morning News, of
Belfast, says it hopes that the government
will grant the arrested gentlemen fair
trial. and leave it to the country to decide
between the leaders of the reduced rent
movement and their intended victims. The
Freeman's Journal says it does not believe
that any movement i'll Ireland against rack
rents would induce the English people to
consent to coercion. 1t appeals to the
people of Ireland to faisify the malign
prediction that the arrests of Nationalist
leaders would lead to outrage. The Ex
press Noyalist) says the limit of fOrbear-
ance had passed and the government had
no alternative but to arrest Mr.. Dillon and
his associates. Had they acted otherwise
they would have stultitied themselves be-
fore the world.
Mr.. Brady, secretary of the Irish parlia-
mentary party, states that number of
Irish commonerS have started for Ireland to
TAKE CHARGE OF THE CAMPAIGN,
which they will prosecute vigorously. The
Nationalist are laughing at the stupidity of
the police in not acting sooner than they
did They might have seized many thou
sands of pounds by taking action earlier
Mr. Dillon was confined to his room to-day
from the effects of the runaway accident
He looked weak and wearied. He will at
tend meeting on Lord Kenmare'S estates
at Killarney on Sunday. He will announce
at the league meeting in Dublin On Tuesday
whether OF not he will give bail, and
thereby compel the authorities to try him
before his rec0gniZanceS are estreated. Mr..
O'Brien'S hands were torn and his left arm
sprained in the runaway accident. Mr..
0'Brien says that, proiitng by old press in
stincts when he saw a number of police
men in plain clothing at the Loughrea
meeting he made arrangements for the
safety of the documents and money of the
league.
DR.. Brosnan and three farmers were
TRIED IN CORK
to-day on the charge of moOnlighting in
Kerry. All were acquitted. The verdict
was greeted with cheers. and the defendants
were escorted through the streets by an en-
thlsastic multitude. COmmonerS Jordan
and Kenny have arrived at Kilrush. where
they will receive the rents of the tenants
on the Vandeleur and Barton estates to-
morrow The police are aware of the in
tentions of the leaguers.
Dillon, O'Brien, Sheehy and Harris have
decided to proceed
AGAINST THE POLICE OF LOUGHREA
for the recovery of the money and docu-
ments seized yesterday. Harris and Sheehy
to- day met the tenants of the Cappatigue
estate, at Ingort, County Galway. O'Brien
in an interview, said the Loughrea police
only secured eSS of 81. 100 rent money re-
ceived by the trustees. He expressed the
opinion that the prosecution OF the trustees
would stimulate and help the movement in
stead of suppressing it. He was surprised
that he and his fellow trustees had been
allowed to give bail. as they were thus en-
abled to continue the campaign. He looked
forward to an awakening of English public
opinion against the arbitrary arrests of
members of legitimate organization.
The government has decided to proceed
against all concerned in the ''plan of the
campaign" on a charge of conspiracy. A
summons is issued on Dillon, O'Brien and
four other commoners. and the cases will be
tried before the Dublin commission in JAN
uary. 1t is reported that the police have
been instructed to arrest campaign leaders
everywhere. CommOner Carew has aban-
doned his intention of receiving rents at
Bally Hounis to-day, learning that he was
being watched By the police.
