ParneIl Calls u Absurd.

DUBLIN, March 25.-The Freemen's Jour
nal prints the report Of an interview with
Mr.. Psrnell on the subject Of the Land Pur-
chase BILL. He said the bill was absurd and
Objectionable in the highest degree. The
liability which the English taxpayer will not
incur 1t Is coolly proposed to transfer to the
Irish cesspayer. That the objection Of the
government Is to Initiate the value OF Irish
land to an inordinate extent Is cleaIhTnat
closed In Balfour's speech. A Af0ng way be-
the measure Is that IL
