An Immense Mass Meeting in Dublin-The
Bishop Of Tuam and Parnell.
An immense amnesty meeting was held yes
terday in Phoenix Park, Dublin, with the object
of obtaining the pardon of Irish prisoners
under sentence for alleged dynamiting and
other crimes partly of political character.
The weather was fine and the sun shone from
clQpdless sky. Multitudes attended from Dub
lin and other cities, bands Of music preceding
the arrival of each deputation. The meeting
resolved that the time had arrived for the re-
lease Of all political prisoners now under penal
sentences; that whatever error they had com.
mitted in seeking to achieve the right by
wrongful methods had been sufficiently atoned
for by their sufferings, and that the govern
ment ought without further delay to order their
release. It was voted that copies of the resolu-
tons should be sent to Iord Salisbury, Chief
Secretary Balfour, Lord Zetland and Home
Secretary Matthew'S
Mr.. Parnell intends to speak next Sunday at
Tuam and yesterday the bishop Of Tuam took oc-
casion to anticipate Parnelfs visit and prejudice
the people against him by delivering scath-
ing sermon on the wickedness Of adultery. No
direct allusion was made to Parnell and his
O'Shea experiences, but the congregation un-
oerstood what was meant, and several promi-
nept Parnellites severely denounced the Bishop
efter services we're over for His evident attempt
= belittle the Irish leader. The prospects are

BULGARIA'S FRIEND.
The Sultan Remains Firm in Spite Of Rus
sian Influence.

The Sultan Remains Firm in Spite Of Rus
sian Influence.
The sultan has alarmed both Russia and
France by his firm attitude in favor Of Bulgaria
and against Servia. The Russian demand
for war indemnity, or, as an alternative, the
cession of territory, has failed to produce any
effect or at least any effect favorable to Russia.
Instead the sultan becomes stern and aggressive
and declares substantially that Servia must not
menace Bulgaria. For some time past the En-
glish government has been taking active meas
ures to counteract Russian and French intrigue
at Constantinople and to convince the sultan
that the English were his real friends and that
Russia under any guise could be only an enemy
of Turkey. These efforts have apparently been
successful.
St. Petersburg dispatch says 1t is now be-
heved that the Russian army can be fully
equipped with the new Russian rifle in one
year.
