Branch of the League Refuses to
Take It's Politics from the Eternal
City.
| LONDON, April 30-A meeting composed
of Irishmen and Englishmen, held at Alder
shot, condemned the Papal decree and re-
solved to found branch Of the home rule
organization, aud to cease contributing
Peters pence
The Pail Mall Gazette, commenting upon
the Papal decree, says: 1.-The Pope's blunder
amazes us. 1t will make no difference in
the condition of affairs in Ireland, while
the alliance with the Pope will displease
| England.
The 81. James Gazette asks what Mr..
Gladstone thinks of his position now.
What the Vatican declared to be damning
sin, Mr., Gladstone, it says, considers exclu-
sive dealing.
ARCHBISHOP wALsH's EFFORTS.
The Globe saws: Archbishop Walsh
doubtless did his uttermost to refute Mgr.
| Persico's statements relative to the condi-
dition of ala RS in Ireland. 1t is possible,
as the Daily Nel0s intimates, that the Pope
has been threatened with something like a
schism. The decree means that law and
! order, which were menaced by the junction
of strong British party with the Parnell-
ties, hav o now, in the Vatican's opinion,
been overcome by the disturbing forces
assailinR them"
The Star denounces the decree as cruel,
perilous and wanton. IL says that Ireland,
lighting with her back to the wall, will
never perhaps, discover the methods by
! foh kha Al Tro
land submits to sacrifice her liberties to a
base Tory intrigue she will be unworthy OF
the freedom, which, in a few years.
Englishmen will grant her if she maintains
her demands The paper summons English
men to denounce their ministers intrigue.
Ireland it declares. will accept political
advice and counsel from no power, but her
chosen political leaders.
The Standard argues that the effect OF
the decree will be disastrous TO the national
league by lessening its contributions.
The Irish Parliamentary party will take
no steps in connection with the Tories, but
will leave the question on its merits to the
appreciation of the people, The promoters
and supporters of the plan Of campaign do
not expect that the decree will act as
serious check TO the enterprise.
SALARY FOR KING-HARMoN.
In the House of Commons to-day Secre-
tary Balfour in moving second reading of
the bill to pay salary to Col. King Harmon
as Under Secretary for Ireland, urged the
necessity of having a salary attached to the
post. John Morley moved that the bill be
rejected. He reminded the House OF the
distinct pledge given by the government
that no salary would be attached to the
Office. The appointment of Col. King
Harmon to the post, he said, was regarded
by the people as n distinct indication that
the government were taking sides
| in he al aortn IN. Tsala md
The Office was wholly needless, and
was created to give something to
| man whom the ministry found on their
| hands. II was an appointment which had
plucked out by the roots any confidence
which the Irish had still felt in the govern
ment [Cheersl After heated debate the
bill passed its second reading by a vote Of
226 TO III.
THE LAND COMMISSION BILL
In the debate on Secreta. Balfour's Irish
land commission bill, Mr.. Balfour offered
to give favorable consideration to any sug-
gestions of amendments which would
improve its working. Mr. Parnell said he
failed to see the necessity for the bill. which
was frivolous and unsubstantial TO the last
degree. The motion for the second reading
of the bill was then carried by vote Of
22S to 139.
Notice has been given Of 207 Liberal
amendments and of 1862 Conservative and
Dissident amendments to the local govern
ment bill.
HOW IT CAN BE DoDGED.
LONDON, May l, 3 A. M-The Netos says:
'The public tion of the Papal DEGREES re-
duces the matter to very narrow limits. 1t
will probably have little practical effect, for
the account OF the plan Of campaign given
by the Vatican will not be accepted as ac-
| curate by those defending it, The
| Nationalists are presented with good advice
not in a menacing spirit. and it is unlikely
that the decree will cause much excitement"
MORE ACTIVE POLICY.
The Standard says that the leaders of the
opposition intend to ado a more active
policy for the remainder of the session of
Parliament. 1t is understood that the Par
nellites will not take action as whole
against the Papal decree. 1t is probable
that some Of them will write resenting let
ters. the exact terms of the dec 90 are
still profound secret in Rome outside OF the
Vatican. The main points we're undoubted-
| ly published in pursuance Of instructions
sent to the higher clergy.
The Rome correspondent Of the Times
says: "Most of the Irish ecclesiasticals gave
their cordial adhesion to the Pope's brief.
1t is reported that Archbishop Walsh said
he never approved the plan OF campaign"
GONE TO ARREST A PRIEST.
DUBLIN, April 30.--One hundred men be-
| longing to the 5 xtieth Rifles have started
for Gweedore TO arrest another priest.
Cardinal Simeoni has written a letter to
the Irish bishops from the Propaganda, en-
closing the papal de- cree relative TO the plan
of campaign and boycott g.
The FreemdE'S Journal says: "The de-
cree will always command the tenan,s' re-
spect, but the people understand their own
affair too well TO allow hostile Vaccinations
to prevail. They have vlgilant and able ad-
vocates-Archbishop Walsh in Rome, and the
archbishops and bishops at home, whose
support will never fail them"
The Mitchellstown branch OF the national
league has discussed the decree, aud has de-
cided that it will not take its politics from
Rome.
Notices have been posted in Kllrush
threatening the doom Of James Carey, the
Phenix Park informer, 10 any one dealing
with the innkeeper who harbored the con-
stable who assaulted priest during the
efforts of the authorities to suppress the
meeting Of the national league at that
place.
The Court of Queens Bench to-day unan-
imously decided that the election of Thomas
Sexton as Lord Mayor Of Dublin was valid.
