ST. PArRICK's DAY ABROAD.
Banquet Of the Irish National League
Mr. Blaine Kediyivus.

LONDON, March l8-The banquet of
the National League In honor OF ST.
Patrick which was held In the Cannon
street Hotel last night was the occasion
OF d most enthusiastic gathering OF prom
inent Home Rulers and the delivery OF
several extremely bery and defiant
speeches. Mr.. John Dillon presided,
aud in speech acknowledging the honor
asserted that the NatiOnaists had the
upper hand Ia Ireland once more and
meant to keep It, He, himself, declared
they had more power In many parts OF
Ireland than the Government had. He
was constantly In receipt OF letters ask
ing him to settle disputes bet land
lord and tenant, in most OF which cases
his selection as arbitrator was proposed
by the former. As evidence OF the
changed state Of affairs and the
realization OF the landlords that
their fight was a long one, Mr..
Dillon cited the case OF Sir
Henry Burke, who under the pressure
OF the plan of campaign capitulated few
weeks ago. and granted to the tenants on
bis estate near Loushres not only re-
duction OF 25 per cent, but also PAID the
legal costs. restored evicted tenants TO
their holdings, and paid the expenses oil
their maintenance where they were ex
cludcd from their homes. The sad his.
tory OF the past" Mr Dillon said, would
never be repeated in Ireland. Other
landlords must follow the example OF SlI
Henry Burke The days OF wholesale
eviction were over, Mr. Bslfour to the con
,rary notwithstanding, and the practice
of imprisoning Irshmen under the elastic
provisions Of the crimes act, merely be-
cause they were Irlshmen, were rapidly
nearing their close"
Concluding he said that the toast " Ire
land is a nation" then proposed, wal
never drank under more fitting circum
stances or with brighter prospects ol
realiz ttion.
Father OBryne Of Boston, responded
TO the toast The friends OF Ireland"
The American press, he said, were al
most unanimous In fsvoring lrish home

sport with Washington newspaper men
during the past week. Scarcely day has
passed since the publication Of the letter
received by the Senator from Colonel
Finley Anderson OF New York, without
several inquiries having been made as to
when he would reply to 1t. The Senator
deferred giving any definite answer until
Friday, when he fixed upon Saturday
right as the time when his answer to
Colonel Anderson would be ready for
publication, and said tha, all who desired
copies nigh. receive them by apply ing a

TIE OPERATIONS IN VIRGINIA.
The success they have met with in the
pursuit OF their nefarious occupation
must have greatly emboldened them, for
they have, ii seems, been committing
burglaries at almost every place at
which they stopped between Baltimore
and Richmond At Quantico aud fcj-
ney's stations they broke into and rob
bed the postofilces, and at Ruther Glenn,
in Caroline county, they broke into a
store and carried ofY considerable booty
No doubt either the Postofllc, here or
some one or more Of our stores would
have tempted them TO try their game on
Richmond had they not been so sum
marlly hauled up by the Postotfce OF
licials already mentioned. Their vigil
lance in the matter OF spotting them and
having them arrested cannot be too
highly commended.

They are very youthful men, both of
them; William, the elder, Il only % years
old, and his brother Charles Is only 20
1t is stated that they have been carrying
on their operations for some years, so
that they must have devoted their lives
to, and served regular apprenticeship in
the burglary business They are likely
now, however, 10 find themselves hauled
up with round turn, and the chances
are that these enterprisirg burglars will
have to stop their burglng, and devote
the remainder of their days to breaking
stones or some other hard work in the
Albany penitentiary.
