DuD,1N Sept 1S.-John Dillon was ar
- this morning at the residence of his
I0s - whom he was visiting, at Bally
p-ock He was conveyed on special
.roin to Tipperary, accompanied by large
o. - escort. William O'Brien was ar

H. OiRrien are similar to those against
Mr.. Dillon.
In addition to those already mentioned,
- Is ascertained that a warrant has been
;ssned for Mr.. Dalton, who has been active
in the work of the land league.
POLICE ON THE WATCH.
Here in Dublin, police are keeping strict
watch on the headquarters OF the land
laeoue. Persons entering or leaving are
subjected to close scrutiny.
Disnatches from Tlpperary report that the
organizers of the local branch of the league
there are under close police surveillance and
ara being constantly shadowed. This special
activity of the police leads to belief that
the authorities are contemplating further
arrests It is considered altogether probable
that warrants are already out against many
leaders IN the land league of secondary
rank and Importance, who have made them
selves obnoxious by the active part they
have taken in the anti-rent campaign. No
one will be surprised, therefore, to hear at
anv moment that other men have been
taken into custody.
LIKE A BOLT FROM A CLEAR SKY.
This sudden action of the government has
fallen like bolt from q clear sky. The
Irish nationlists had no suspicion of the i'm
pending blow and are at loss to know
what it portends. Mingled surprise and
indignation are the predominant feelings In
Dublin to-day. Dispatches from various
parts of Ireland Indicate that the national
lists are everywhere greatly excited. Tne
arrests we're so utterly unexpected that the
surprise with which they were first heard
soon gave way TO a feeling of suspense as
TO what the government would do next.
oBRIEN IN COURT.
In the Tipperary court formal evidence
of the arrest of Mr.. O'Brien was given be-
fore a magistrate and Mr. Roman, who
conducted the prosecution, asked that Mr..
0'Brien be remanded until Thursday. The
counsel for Mr.. O'Brien cross-examined
Inspector Raffer with view to showing
that although he had committed
the alleged illegal acts in
June. no steps had been taken
for his arrest until it was heard that he was
going to America. Inspector Roffer denied
that the mission to America had anything
to do with the case. Mr.. O'Brien mere re-
marked that the whole world
knew the governments motive
for making the arrest Mr.. O'Brien
was admitted to bail, Canon Cahill
being his surety on application of Mr.
Roman. Warrants were issued for the
arrest of other members of the national
league.
SLIGHT DISTURBANCE.
There was a slight disturbance outside
the court house here. Large crowds of
people accompanied by drum and fife
Dand were waiting at the station for
Mr.. Dillon, who drove in the
mayors carriage to his own residence, where
lie addressed the people from the steps. He
sad that the more frequently arrests were
made the more resolute hishmen would
become in the national cause
DILLON IN THE DARK.
Mr. Dillon, in an interview after his
arrest, said that the object of the govern

vent The mission of himself and his associ-
