The Home Office mas, it is announced,

NUMBER or dynamiters have lett the
United states for the purpose OF making
attacks on the English government. Inc
conspirators, the report says, will 90 from

lleVe the whole enterprise, as reported

IRELAND's NEED.
Mr.. Matthews, Home Secretary, speak
ing in Birmingham tonight, SAID lreland's
great want was peace and order and
freedom from political agitation, so that
PAD men might be punished and the good
De permitted to follow their ayocattons
unmolested by tyrannOus organizations.
Ihese ends the government would try
It's utmost to achieve. The Black Pool
Liberals have resolved to run strong
candidate in the hope of wrestling that

LOOKS LIKE CIVIL WAR.
LONDON, Aug. 10, 5 A. M.-The Daily
Telegraph referring to the Belfast riots
says: at almost appears as If the civil
war predicted as the result of Mr.. Glad
stones proposals has already commenced.
we cannot accuse the police or
undue precipitancy, and still less
OF desire to wantonly shed
blood. The demon of religious
fanatlcism, which they have confronted,
has drawn upon them the enmity Of both
Protestants and Catholics. In one way
the shocking events are useful lesson.
Ihey reveal what precipice we
neared when there seemed chance
OF Mr.. Gladstone's bills passing"
The Standard says: at is premature
to say that the police are gUiltlsss or un-
yielded to partisan spirit. Whatever
the facts may be, there is doubtless among
peaceaDle PrOtestants an honest impress
sion that the extra police shamefully
abused their position. The public Will
suspend judgment for the present. 1t is
the paramount duty to restore peace"
The Daily Times says: sit is evident
that the deadllest enemy of the peace of
Ireland is the unhappy town Of Belfast.
Notwithstanding the natural eXaspera-
ton caused by the defeat OF home rule
not single other town has given mo-
ments anxiety"
THE PROTEsTANTs TO BLAME.
The Times this morning commenting
on the troubles says: "The riots in Bel
fast have almost risen to the height of
CIVIL war. 1t Is imperative that the gov
eminent use all the power at its disposal

well know that they can expect
no indulgence when they see unruly
Protestantlsm promptly compelled to alb
stain from violence and to respect the law.
If the Conservative ministers show weak
ness in such situation it will be all over
with the government in Ireland. We are
convinced that there are faults on all
sides. Neither the executive government,
stipendiary local magistrates, police, rival
mobs nor influential citizens OF Belfast can
be held blameless for the state of affairs.
However, the heavier share of RESPONSE
bility must fall on the Protestant masses.
They may plead provocatOn but thew
boast of their loyalty. They are in the
majority and have no reason to fear yio-
lence at the hands of the Catholics, and
moreover, they are politically victorious"
DAvITT's VISIT.
NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-''Mr. Parnell and
President Egan," said Michael Davitt TO a
reporter to-day, ''invIted me to attend the
Chicago convention in the interest of
harmony. L am not delegate, but came
over for change OF air and q short rest,
| have promised to address a monster
meeting on Saturday of the united Irish
societies at Chicago. During my stay
here l shall see and confer with the lead
ers of the Irish movement"
Mr.. Davitt refused to express any opiu-
ions about the reply OF President Egan to
Secretary Gleason, of the New York Mu-
nlclpal Council, on the subject of allow
ing other societies to be represented in
the convention at Chicago. He said that
other differences would be adjusted and
that the influence of the Irish delegates
would be for harmony. He said he had
nothing new to say on Irish matters.
His speeches and letters defined his posi-
ton.
Patrick Ford, of the Irish World. said
to-day that after the convention in Chi
cago on; Aug. Is and 10, MIR. Davitt will
rest for week and then go to San Fran
cisco. AS soon as he feels strong enough
he will give a series OF lectures in all the
important cities. This will take about
three months and is the primary object of
his coming to America. Mr.. Davitt is a
poor man, and has always refused all
protfered testimonials from the Irish peo-
pie. He intends to see if be can make
some money featuring with which to carry
on his work.
