LONDON, May 21.-ConsIdersle sur
prise was manifested to-day at the an
nouncement that cabinet council had
been called for Friday, and much speeu-
lation was rife as to the character of mat
tiers the Importance of whose discussion
ton. 1t was subsequently given out that
the council was called for the purpose of
discussing the situation with regard to
Irish legislation before the commons,
and the practioability of modifying
the compensation clauses of the local
taxation bill. The Star in its comments
on the sudden summoning of the council
expresses It's belief that the government
is becoming alarmed at the growing OPP
position to its leading measures, and
thinks it is not unlikely that the present
agitation against the land purchase bill
will end in the withdrawal of the meas
ure, if it does not result in the dissolution
of parliament. One, if not both, of
these events, the Star Opines, is certain.
As to the obnoxious compensation pro-
posed, an immense amount of pressure is
being brought to bear upon the govern
ernme nt to induce its withdrawal. 1t is
astonishing that the government has had
the boldness to introduce such bill after
THE SORRY FIzzLE
made with its prototype three ya9rs
ago. The government was numerically
stronger then than now, and had far
better chances of passing such meas
ure. The public cutlery and popu-
los 4
proved too much for the scheme, and
it was abandoned speedily. The
same fate probably awaits the present
proposal. 1t is certainly a monstrous
proposition, that in order to shut up q
few of the many thousand of public
houses in this country, people must buy
the publican g business and compensate
him for any loss he may suffer through
not being able to continue a traffic, the
public welfare shall be curtailed, and
actually give him a retiring fund. All
temperance people are up in arms, and
meetings are being held everywhere
to protest against the scheme, and June
a monster meeting will be held in Hyde
park to show the force of feeling against
the government bill.
THE QUEENS BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY.

birthday anniversary, which falls on
Saturday, was very generally observed.
The day was one of quiet festivities
and good cheer, with very little of the
noisy demonstration which almost
invariably charsoterizes the celebrations
of events of national interest. Nearly
all cabinet ministers and many other
prominent persons in private life gave
dinners in honor of the queen tonight.
THE MONSTER MEETING
which 1t was proposed to hold in the new
town of Tipperary next Sunday has been
prohibited by the government, to
the intense Indignation of inhabitants
of the new town and surrounding coun-
try. Official action is professedly taken
in the interest of order, but there is q
suspicion that the prohibitIvs order was
Influenced By Smith Barry, from whose
estate the inhabitants of the new town
