PARLI AMENT's REAssEMBLING.
LONDON, Aug. 17.-Mr. Parnell has re
quested all the Irish members of Parlia
ment to be present on Thursday at the re
assembling of Parliament. He says tha
in view of the grave and pressing condi
tion of public affairs it is very necessary
that there should be full attendance 0
the Irish contingent.
Freeman's Journal, of Dublin, says
Mr.. ParnelPs summons shows that tn,
ParnellItes do not intend to await thu
convenience OF the Ministry in. dealinl
with the Belfast riots and the alarminl
condition OF Irish farmers. Lord Sails
bury must explain how he intends Il
meet the contingency of the inability o
the farmers TO pay their rents, and he will
be called upon to declare the policy b,
intends to substitute for that of manacles
The government intend to introduce a
| the next session OF Parliament measure
giving local government to Ireland on tn,
basis of the plan prepared by Lord Ran
dolph Churchill. The Harrington party
will support the scheme.
THE DEBATE ON THE ADDRESS.
Mr.. Gladstone will neither initiate mol
prolong the discussion with reference I,
Ireland on the debate on the address il
reply to the Queen speech. His follower,
acquiesce in this decision. Although th,
speech from the throne will not Indicate
Lord Salisbury's irish policy, IL is under
stood that either Lord Randolph Churchill
or Sir Michael Hioks-B Beach, during the
debate, will intimate that measure Will
be introduced next year dealing with
Irish local government and the land ques-
tions. The Gladstonians will accept such
intimation as sufficient pledge for the
present, but the Parnellites appear to bC
determined 10 press for details, in which
event lengthy discussion will probably
ensue. AS soon as the address has beer
! adopted the government will move
that the supply bills have
precedence. 1t is believed tha,
notwithstanding the expected actor
OF the Parnellites, the House will be pro.
rOgued on Sept. 10 until the frs
week in November, when, unless some
untoward events should occur, it Will
be further prorogued until the beginning
OF February. The governments whips
have advised the Conservatives that II
will be useless TO give notice OF the intro.
duction Of new bills IN the present ses
sion and that no private business will bt
discussed.
COMMENTS OF LoNDON's NEWS.
LONDON, Aug. 1S, A. M.--The Daily
News says: "Should the Irish delegates
at Chicago fail TO silence or expel the ad.
vocates OF dynamite, the whole world will
regard the convention with indignant
contempt. The dynamiters can best be
dealtwith with rope. II Rosa was hung
the world would be ridden OF a c0wardly
knave. The chief interest in the Chicago
convention, however, centres in the fact
that the Irish delegates have resolutely
set their faces, not only against the dyna-
miters, but against violence IN any
