NEWS AT THE FRENCH CAPITAL.

No. 20 CHEYNE GARDENS, THAMES En-
BANKMENT, CHELSEA, LONDON, August 81.
New ork Herald Cable-Special to the
BEE. The debate on the address after the
usual formalty of opening the session of
parliament begun on Thursday, went on
through yesterday and will 60 on on Monday
and for some days, must not say how many,
but not for many, to adopt the words of
Edgar Poe, still to come. We, the Irish
party, shall have two amendments, one on
the Belfast riots, and one concerning evic-
tions and the general land question. The
general policy of the government in regard
to home rule we shall discuss. We have
already discussed it to some extent, as in the
remarkably telling and clever speech of L.
i. OConnor yesterday, on which he received
the congratulations of Mr. Gladstone. But
we don't intend to move any formal amend
ment TO the address on that subject.
DIsTRUsT LONDON PAPERS.
would advise your readers always to dis
trust paragraphs from the London papers
protesting to tell in advance what the Irish
party will do in this and that emergency.
We do not make up our minds long in ad
vance. We could not possibly do SO. We
have to be guided by the conditions and
events of the hour, and you may be sure if
we did make up our minds long in advance
we should not confide the result of our delib-
erations to the London papers.
MISTAKEN ANNOUNCEMENT
There is paragraph in some of the
morning papers to-day announcing that the
Irish members have determined to prolong to
the uttermost possible moment the present
sitting of parliament by debating the esti-
mates when they come in line, No such re-
solve has been made by the Irish party. The
Irish party will prolong the session if it
seems to them that prolonging the session
will do the slightest good for the interests of
Ireland. We would resolve on Tuesday to
prolong the session If sudden reason
showed itself favoring the interests of Ire
land, even though we had resolved on Mon
day to let the session come quietly to an iul-
mediate close.
SUPPORTING IRISH LANDLORDS.
For the moment it will be seen the govern
ment are leaning distinctly OH the support
of the Irish landlords, and are letting the Sc
cessionlst liberals go by. They promise to
maintain order, rs their phrase is, in the
first instance, and then will do something for
the landlords in the way of land purchase.
Now, the condition of things in Ireland is
just this: The winter viii show terrible

country the judicial rents cannot be paid. The
FARMERS CAN BARELY LIVE.
They can barely scrape ont of the land

children. How, then, can they pay the in.
dicial rents? But, judging from the utter
ances of Salisbury and Churchill, the govern
ment arc prepared to regard judicial rents as
