Bishop WoooIock Issues an Address
to His People and Clergy.

DUBLIN, Sept 23.-Most Reverend Bar
tholomew Wo0dlock, d. D., Roman Catholic
bishop of the diocese of Armagh and Clon-
macnois, Ireland, has issued an address to
the people and clergy of his diocese.
The Bishop laments the present spiritual
sutferings and oppression of the poor. He
also speaks with pain of the prevalence and
growth of secret societies, so frequently con-
demned by the church, and expresses fear
for the peace and future of Ireland.
"God alone" the address declares, "can
scatter these clouds and quell this tempest
Meanwhile we exh0rt our oppressed people
to be still patient, while using every lawful
means to protect themselves and their own,
and we warn their oppressOrs of the account
they must render to God"
The Bishop then conjures all to observe
the golden law of charity, but warns people
against the revolutionary principles of Sc
cret societies. ST." he adds, "the day of
national freedom seems to approach, the
peoples sins may cause its advent to be de-
as an argument by Ireland's enemies for re-
fusing to accord her rights, but it will also
render the people unworthy of Gods help"
The Freeman's Journal of Dublin, COM
menting on the Marquis of Salisbury,s
speech at st. Albans yesterday, says that it
should show the Irish Farmers that under
the guise eff extending present proprietor
ship in Ireland is the project for driving the
tenants to purchase on landlords terms.
The United Ireland says that the govern
ment's present attitude leaves no mistake
about a complete change from the policy of
examination and inquiry to the policy of
sheer barbarity.

LONDON, Sept. 23-Austria has followed
the precedent of Germany and Russia rela-

place shortly.
The Berlin correspondent of the London
Times, in a long despatch, claiming that his
views are obtained from official circles and
reciting them at length, arrives at the fol-
lowing conclusions:
1t is plain, at least, that the situation in
the East has grown much, more simple and
less alarming, and that above all things Ger
many must not now be accused of being an
obsequious and unconditional supporter OF
Russia, which her unexplained action at
first led the people to believe.
