EVICTIONs DENOUNCED.
DUBLIN, Aug. 1.-THE Longtord Board
of Guardians has adopted resolutions de-
less eviction of 81 families. The action
Of the landlords, the resolutions say, is
ascribable to organized attempts to Gre
ate disorder and CRIME in a peaceable
country, the landlords knowing that it Is
impossible for tenants to pay rack rents.
The Board asks the government to take
immediate cogniZance OF the landlords
action in order to prevent wholesale pau
perism and departotion of large numbers
of the people of Ireland.

opposed. The withdrawal of Alderman
Cook, Liberal, from the contest against
Mr.. Matthews, In the east district of Biz

Radical Unions opposition, aroused by
Mr.. Cooks correspondence with Arthur
| Chamberlain, a brother of the RadicaI
leader.
| SALISBURY SPEAKS OF IRELAND.
AT the Lord Mayors banquet tonight
Lord Salisbury, after touching upon other
| topics, said he regretted that there still
remained a subject for painful medita-
ton. every days news'' he said, ''re-
minds us that Ireland Is not yet inhabited
| by concordant and homogeneous peo-
| ueIdllHs
| but it is the duty Of our government to
devote it's whole energies to freeing the
| loyal people OF Ireland from the constraint
exercised upon them, whether in the form
of riot or in the more dangerous, insidious
| and effective form of outrage and intimi-
| dalton. While admitting the great diff
| Guilty and the responsibility Of the task,
| which are so great that previous govern
ments equally anxious with ourselves
| only succeeded temporarily and to an i'm
perfect extent. We possess an advan-
tage over our predecessors which we hope
TO turn to good use.
MANDATE FROM THE PEOPLE,
eve bear a mandate from the people de-
Gliding finally. and In my opinion, irrevo-
cably, the question which has wrecked
the peace of Ireland. [Cheers The
question of an independent government
In Ireland, after deep discussion and ad-
vocacy by the most powerful statesman
this country has ever seen, has been re-
| jected emphaticaily and unequivo-
cally by an enormous majority of the peo-
pie Of the Kingdom. Loud cheers.l 1t is
not unworthy to remark that most Of the
voices In favor of separation have been
obtained by the personal influence of that
great statesman; and upon other consid-
erations, apart from the merits of the
question, i believe that our opponents
will eventually admit that this is
England's final decision, armed
with which 1t is our duty to re-
store In Ireland that social order
the loss of which is only the just cause OF
its discomfort. Sam convinced that in
such policy we shall find the strongest
support in the enormous population OF
which you are the true representative"
Credible information places the number
of persons killed during the rioting in
Belfast at so. The number OF wounded is
enormous, and will probably never be
known exactly. The town is quiet TO-
night.
MATTHEW'S GIVEN A WALK OVER.
BIRMINGHAM, Aug. 11.-Mr. Matthews
Home secretary, was reelected to the
House of Commons for East Birmingham
without opposition. The Liberals at The
last moment withdrew their candidate
Alderman Cook, leaving the field cleal
for Mr.. Matthews.
