IreIand,s Crisis.

DUBLIN, September 2Sth.-Mr. Timothy
Harrington announced at the foTtnightly
meeting of the Irish National League to-
day. that since the last meeting $4,000 in
donations had been received by him, as
Treasurer. He added that an enormous in
crease in evictons throughout Ireland must
now be expected, and said the League
would devote all of the donations received
to the work of relieving the persons eyicted.
John Dillon said that peace in Ireland now
depended on the action of the landlords.
Two thousand families are now under no.
tice of eviction. Winter is coning, ard
already ii is imperative that the Irish peo-
pie should combine and help one an
other to resist, without the law, any
attempted tyranny by the landlords. Final
victory is certain if this resistance be main
tanned. Dillon said, in concluding, that
the tenants would accept the Ashbourne
Act as sop, but would resist coercion.
Joseph f. Kenny, NJ p for Cork, said he
tenants would fight with their backs to the
wall against the threatened evictions. Mr..
Harrington appealed to the branches of the
League to subscribe literally to the fund
for the evicted tenants. Mr. Dillon de-
clared that the Commission inquiry was a
fraud and lmposture, and that nobody
would believe in its honesty and impair
tiality if the eviction of tenants continued.
The tenants must touch the landlords upon
their most tender point, their pockets.
Landlords Getting Squeezed.
LONDON, September 29th-Laboucher
says: In Ireland most of the landlords
have mortgaged their estates and live on
the margin of rent which is in excess OF
the interest on mortgages. This margin,
however, has now disappeared, owing to
the fall in prices. There are three profits
al h. ,,.,I T-oI
of mortgage, that of the landlord, and
cannot support more than one-tbird, but
most unquestionably cannot support the
three. Admitting that the mertgagee is TO
get his interest, and the tenant is 10 live
and thrive, the landlord must necessarily
be squeezed, and N fart has been squeezed
out already

lar indignation aroused by the Catholic

edge of the plot to remove Alexander. He
said: 4" | accepted office in the Provisional
Cabinet because the movement the army
appeared to be general, but on the resist

leagues requested Karavelotf TO take { flee

whether Austrian or English, would be an
alteration. Therefore, Prince Alexar der
was bound to fail"
