Discussing Home Rule.

LONDON, May 7.-Trevelyan in a speech
tonight said he would support the Home
Rule bill provided the measure was modified
in such way that a firm hold would be
kept on Ireland and also provided the land
purchase bill be dropped.
Earl Granville, speaking at Manchester,
said the government would not recede from
the position it had assumed ON the Irish
question unless its Irish bills were defeated.
He warmly approved Gladstone's Irish
measures.
Lord Ernest Hamilton, member of Parlia-
speech at Londonderry predicted that the
people of Ulster would enforce their de-
mand for a parliament in Ulster in the
event of home rule being granted to Ireland
and that if worst came to worst the southern
loyalists would help the northerners

ATHENS, May THE Greek government
has sent gunboat to Constantinople to take
the Greek minister away from the Turkish
capital. Greek troops are hurried to the
front with all possible speed. All the foreign
ministers have embarked on the vessels of
their respective nations to depart from
Greece. The powers have given orders to
their fleets to blockade the Greek ports. The
Russian minister did not leave when the
other ministers departed, not having been
instructed to do so. The soldiers of the gar
rison at Athens received with cheers the
order to march to the frontier. The Pei
ponessian army has been ordered to Thes-
sally. The movements of the Turkish army
threaten to make Thessaly the scene of the
first warlike operations. Indications point
to Turkish advance by way of Larissa.
A regiment designated as the King escort
is ready to start for the front. The govern
ment has announced its intention of defend
ing Greek territory against any and all
attacks.
The populacc are enthusiastic over the
prospect of war with Turkey. Soldiers
are parading the streets, singing patriotic
songs. They are everywhere cheered. A
large number of soldiers remain here. The
foreign squadron has returned to Suda Bay.
The Greek fleet has left Salamis and it is be-
lieved it has gone to Paros. 1t is not be-
lieved here that Russia will take any share
with either powers in the ulterior work Of
coercion against Greece.

LONDON, May THE London Daily News
renews its argument in favor of the land
purchase bill on the ground that last year, S
land act authorized British credit of
e5,00O,000 for the purpose of buying estates
for small holders, and contained a provision
that the act should be renewed when re-
quired. Therefore," continues the News,
that e5,000,000 was only an installment.
The Radical opposition was then unthought
of, though the security for repayment was
inferior to that of Mr.. GIadstone's present
proposal, which provides ample guarantee
for the whole of the money, instead of only
one-ifth, as previously provided The Radi-
calls appear to shy at an empty difference.
The former act proposed to relieve tenants; !;
the present bill proposes to relieve landlords.
Land legislation has previously failed from
lack of vigor and resolution. If grappled
with firmly, all difficulty will disappear"
The Daily Telegraph says: ''The Orange
societies throughout Ulster continue their
preparations for fighting. Promises of help
have been received from England, Scotland
and the Colonies. 1t is alleged that 10000
troops can be raised in Ireland"
The Standard says; .'The government is
Liberals not to vote on the Irish measures
1t has finally decided to proceed with the
land purchase bill, despite the opposition to
the measure. If the bill is rejected by a
small majority, Mr.: Gladstone will advise an
immediate dissolution Of Parliament"
Michael Davitt has written letter to the
Daily News, in which he says that the differ
ence between Gladstone and Chamberlain
being irreconciliable, the proposals of the
former are acceptable to lrishmen, while
those of the latter are not acceptable. ''If
Chamberlain's proposals prevail Mr..
Davitt continues, "the struggle will con-
tinue to intensity. II Irish Representatives
sit at Westminster, there will be constant
ting at Westminster. 1t is better to choose
the former, which is the lesser evil. BY
stroke of genius inspired by an angel of
peace, Mr. Gladstone has recognized the
hoped that he will not give way to Mr..
Chamberlain"
