Special TO The Times by Dunlap Gable Col
LONDON. Nov. 3.--The Times Of to-day
prints. the following editorial: Those high
souled patriots, Mr.. Dillon and Mr.. o. Brien'
who hurriedly left their owl country for
their own cOuntry's good, have arrived IN
America, and met with the carefully engi-
neered reception at which proper heroic
tone must have been rather difficult to
maintain. But a brave face was put upon
it by hosts and guests. The stimu-
lating talk usual on such occasions
was freely poured forth, during
which Mr.. Dillon advised that no money
from the famine fund be sent TO Ireland, be-
cause it would only enable the people topay
rents. This policy is "A mistake, for the cry
OF 'relief for the ADMINISTRATION people
would be the proper thing 10 relax tne
purse" The string Of American people
cannot fail TO be aware that IN the hrst
place there is no famine worth naming
and in the second place there Is no
intention on the part of the patriots
TO spend their hard won gains
i'm relieving distress. Judging from
the speeches the outrage Dusl-
ness is in rather depressed condition
M present. as the itinerant patriots are
nXiOus to make us believe they never had
anv connection with il. Moreover, the
chief secretary, travelling IN the most pow
erty-stricken district in Ireland, with no
more serious accident than an injury done
by an Irish Misunderstanding, Is a a spec
tacle calculated to dry up the fountain OF
liberality. Even the delicate susceptible
ties Americag politicians will be found
difficult TO arouse at the present time, on
account of the pending elections. Alto-
gether. il will probably be safe to take the
magnificent subscriptions, which doubtless
will be quoted with a discount even more
liberal than usual.
REMARKABLE SEIZURE OF PICTURES.
A remarkable sizure Of pictures made
to-day in the fashionable quarter OF Pall
Mall created excitement throughout the
city. For the past three weeks the moral
minds OF London were shocked by an eX-

Rabelais, by Monsieur GARNER, who painted
Mana, which was such a remarkable sue
cess i'm the way of suggestion. The pictures
are all indecent. Some are SO BAD tDal
when put into private room ladies'

has been always crowded since IL was
opened, and, belonging TO the best society.
men of the world have been among It's chlei
and most constant visitors. To-day chief Of
pOlice and Superintendent OF the district,
Mr.. Fisher, accompanied by Inspector Con
quest, entered the gallery and strOlled ABOUT
looking at the pictures. They then entered
the private gallery, and to the CONSERVATION
of all visitors. seized all the pictures on
exhibition. The Chief and superintendent
of the district sand 10 the attendant, as be

he was acting. 81 shall want

not attempt to make any resistance. The
officers took down all the pictures from the
walls and conveyed them To the police sia-
ton. As soon a. the fact of the seizure was
known. the crowd Of visitors became panic
stricken, and Immediately fed. as the pee
pie feared if they were found on the prem
ses they would be arrested. Then the
doors of the gallery were closed. Hundreds
of would-be visitors were turned away. 20
