Special TO the Gazette.
LONDON, april % In presenting his
land scheme, which he offers as a substi-.
tute for the complicated measure intro
duced by Balfour, Parnell has succeeded
in mystifying his friends as well
as his opponents. While they will
naturally support the measure framed
by the leader of their party, Nationalist
members feel that they are entitled to
full explanation of the scheme which
many of them now unhesitatIngly admit
they do not understand. In some re-
spects they are free to say the plan ap-
pears TO offer fewer benefits than that Of
the government, worthless as the latter is
as d remedy for ills the Irish tenants
are now compelled to bear. The general
opinion is that the scheme was inspired
by Michael Davitt with a view of mini
MIXING the number of landlords to be
dealt with and leading to the consum-
nation of his plan for land national iZa-
ton.
IN NO HUMOR FOR FOREIGN ADVICE.
Advices from St. Petersburg are to the
effect that high Russian authorities
view with uureserved dlsapprovsl the
proposed presentation to the car OF re-
monstrances from America and England
against cruelties in Siberia, and that the
Temoustranoe will be met with a snubbing
similar to that which like COM
nunications were received when the
murderers of the late emperor were
reported to have been tortured in their
ho IL ia 20 o in, HIM
for foreign advice or interference, and
to be persistently bent on the reactlOnary
policy which has so far characterized his
reign. A striking feature of this policy
at present is the suspicion and repression
of evidence in the treatment of the lowest
class of population where general sub
missiveness had up to this time never
been doubted, but who are now being
made to feel in the harsheSt manner the
hand of imperial authority.
WOMAN sUFFRAGIsTs TO MEET.
A highly important meeting in favor of
woman suffrage is to be held here on
Thursday. Lady Sandhurst will occupy
the chair and u number of prominent
members of the leading political parties
who have publicly committed themselves
to the movement will deliver speeches.
The strike of Irish railway porters has
extended to Queenstown, and its pro-
longation will seriously affect transport
tation of mails and immigrants. AL
ready great difficulty is experienced in
preventing deloYs to mails and damming
up the tide of immigration, and
these primary effects Of the action of the
men are generally regarded as favorable
to their ultimate success.
ARCHBISHOP CoRRIGAN's
reception in Rome has been more than
cordial, all church dignitaries, from
Pope Leo down, having united in doing
him honor, and his treatment is regarded
as significant Of the growing Importance
Of Catholicism in the United States.
ONLY A POLITICAL BOOMERANG.
It is stated that the case of Capt.
O'Shea against his wife and MIR. PsrnelI
will not be brought to trial, but will be
settled out of court within q very short
time. The basis of settlement is not yet
known, but is understood to involve
an unconditional retraction of the
charges made by the captain against
his wife and the Irish leader under the
influence Of newly discovered and con-
vincing evidence that the allegations
were unfounded. In some quarters,
however, 1t is believed that the settle
ment is Influenced by the realization of
Capt. O'Shea and his hackers that the
matter had utterly failed as means of
running Parnell and was rapidly assum-
Ing the shape of political boomerang.
