Nothioo suGiced to shake the determination OF
the Government to finish supply before taking mp

MIR. Parneh's change of policy is the natural result
of the increas ng perception of the gravity of the
crisis Tie tenants are poorer. tier need IS
greater anl tie urgency of legislation Is more
pressing than tad been supposed.
Tie Tories advance very different explanation
of Mr. Parnclrs policy Ills prime OBJECT tfey
repeat was 10 prevent the tenants availing taeh-
selves of Lord Ashbourne's Act. He discovered
that underthis act they could secure reduction OF
90 per cent. The difference between that ana 20
per cent is not enough to give the League sure
hold on tho tenants: hence the increase 10 oo per
cent. But all these points will be duly thrashed
out IN the coming debate, to when all partes looA
forward with keen interest.
The only other incident which has occasioned
much comment is Lord Randolph Churchills latest
dec aratiOn respecting the proposals the Goyern-
ment II can to make at the next session. Their OBJ
ject he said would be to place the control of Ger
tain local questions in the hands OF the Irish
people Observing the limits fixed by the verdict oi
the constituencies at the last election The Liberals
hail this as an ntimaton that the Government mean
70 take a considerable step toward Home Rule
That was not the view of the Irish members, VINO

ducc them to allow supply to 20 forward. II So II
failed, for obstruction continued lie Spectator TO-

Mr. Parnell possession of an irresistible instrument.
Sir James Fergusson's explicit denial in the
House last night of current rumors about English
annexation in the Mediterranean ought to quiet
the foolish reports current all the week, but prob
