New YORK, February as G. W.
Smalleys cable special to the Tribune
from London Of February 27th says
The Irish question continues to crop
up in Parliament more frequently, be.
cause Gladstone has postponed the an
noucement Of his policy until April.
The repeated efforts in both houses to
draw out the various Ministers produce
little result. Lord Spencer has explain
ed away Morley's declaration against
using the military to enforce civil rights.
Morley has further explained himself
but the belief has gone abroad and to
Ireland that landlords will not be al
lowed to evict paying tenants. Davitt's
vigorous protest against the outrages
which degrade Ireland before the world
is reported in full in the English papers,
which consider that it leaves nothing to
be desired at present, but they regret
that Parnell had not taken the same
line earlier. Lord Randolph's Ulster
campaign accomplished his object by
drawing English attention to the fact
that there are two Irelands, of which
one is utterly opposed to home rule.
The Parnellites accuse him in Parlia-
ment and elsewhere of melting to civil
war. He certainly told the Ulster
men of the necessity Of selfdefense
against political and religious perse-
cution, if home rule, as he granted, was
an ulteror possibility. Sexton's pro
posal to censure him in the House of
Commons is a tactical blunder. Lord
Randolph Churchill would like nothing
better than debate on such an issue.
TRE RECENT RIOTS.
The report of Childer's committee,
published on Wednesday, gave fresh
start TO the talk about riots. The re-
port supplies official sanction to the
condemnation already pronounced by
the public on the police authorities,
and embodies a lucid and complete
narrative of the events of the day of
the riots. Colonel Henderson's resig-
nation necessarily followed, the censure
on him being absolutely without quail
fcation. Daily illusions to the sub
jeot In the House during the week were
followed by general debate yesterday.
A weak attack on Childers elected a
weak defense. The Tories, who hoped
to damage the Ministry, seemed quite
aware of the real points against the
Home Secretary. A new Chief of
Police will be appointed next week, and
a new commission will reorganize the
force. A bill is promised to pay losses
from the riots.
THREE IMPORTANT MEASURES.
Three other important matters have
been touched In the House Glad
stone announces that the Government
will refer the whole question of pro-
cedure to committee of thirty. 1t is
understood that Lord Harrington will
be Chairman, with hardly an Irishman
among his colleagues. The Spectato,-
bluntly says that if the Irish are to go
home, few other reforms will be needed.
The debate on Wednesday on the Irish
bill, compelling landlords to compen-
safe house tenants for Improvements,
showed startling development Of the
tendency of the present House to in
woke State interference in serial and
economical questions Morley vainly
objected, remarklng that though polit-
ical economy might be out of date,
common sense was not The Irish
member turned on him sharply, seeing
which, Gladstone calmly threw over his
lieutenant and though not asserting to
the principle of the bill, promised a
committee of inquiry, including Eng
land, Scotland and Ireland. Lastly,
Trevelyan introduced new bill to
remedy the grievances of the crofters
The measure is considerably stronger
than last year, and is intended to Sc
cure fair rents and fixity of tenure,
with power to obtain compulsory leases
Trevelyan justified this as wholly ex-
ceptional, making SO strong protest
against applying the same doctrine
elsewhere as to give rise to the rumor
that he meant to resign before the
Irish land bill could be introduced.
The rumor is premature, nevertheless.
THE QUEEN KISSED
Attention has been drawn to the fact
that the Queen was Kissed at a dinner
Of the labor representatives in Parlia-
ment on Wednesday, The Attorney
General, when questioned in the
House last night, reduced the incident
to slight propositions. Neither he nor
the Chairman heard the Kissing
PRAISE OF GREELY's WORK.
Lieutenant Greelys "Three Years of
Arctic Service" published in London
this week, is reviewed by the leading
journals, which vie with each other in
eulogy of his achievements and the in
terest of the narrative. No such ex-
citing record and just description of
Arctic adventure has ever been given
to the world, say the critics. The Times
extols the beauty of the printing and
engraving, possibly unaware that both
are American.
A DIPLOMATIC CHARGE.
