LONDON, Sept. 2i.-The situation in
Ireland grows more and more alarm
ing. On one side the evicted tenants
are determined TO obtain relnstate-
ment and on the other side the union
lets sre doing all they can 10 lntiame
the tenants and embsrrass the govern
N 5nt. The nationallsts, or anti-Par-
nellites, express entire confidence IN
Mr.. Morley and his purposes, and ma
tlonalist leaders are doing all they can
10 keep the masses calm. But, 10 quote
the language recently used ~ meet
Ing of the Irish Eyicted Tenants asso-
citation, "The country is like m atch
and very little Is needed TO iDflame 8
bigger land war than there was before"
Thousands appear 10 have been under
the deluslon that We success OF the llb-
erals would mean the immediate rem
statement of all evicted tenants. In-
stead of this evicuons are going on with
greater vigor than before, aud the land
lords are asserting their rights with
merciless energy never displayed under
the late Tory administration. This has
n tendency TO make the people desper-
ate, and the govern ment is liable al any
time to find itself face to face with an
| agrarlan war. Ii is said that Secretary
Morely may make q tour OF the coun-
try in order to pacify by. his presence
and his assurances the rising passions
of the people.
Russian jews VIII skip England,
Advices from Hamburg state that in
future the expectation OF Russian
Jews will be chiefly diverted TO other
ports. 1t is quite probable that, in
view of the embargo on the German
| frontier, the Jews from the north of
| Russia will be transported from that
| country III steamers and meet ut Stet-
tin, or other ports, by steamers from
which they will be transferred and
| thence conveyed directly TO the United
States. The twenty days restriction
upon reaching America will have but
little influence in retarding the traffic
as these people can be supported on
ship board at an expense of about ten
or fifteen cents day and live better
than in Russia, where the average
I wage has seldom exceeded two roubles
q week. The purpose, 1t IS under
stood, IS TO continue the emigration or
expectation of the Russian Jews rs long
as II is permitted by the United States.
| When that country, If ever, decides 10
shut out these emlgrants, then an
| other land of refuge will be sought.
| The Argentine republic is showing
| disposition to exclude the Russian emil
| grants from that country, as those al
ready there are proving nuisance,
having mostly abandoned the lands on
which they were settled and crowded
| to the towns where they seek living
as traders and peddlers. The British
sanitary offclals, by rigid enforce
ment of the recent order of the local
government board, are making 1t very
difficult for emigrants from Russia TO
| get into Great Britain, and this Is swell
ing the tide toward the United States.
Affairs IN England.
There is every prospect of hard
struggle between the master cotton
spinners and the operatives Of Lanca-
shire. The masters want to reduce
wages and the operatives reply that if
the trouble IS over production, not
wages, the hours should be reduced.
| The operatives have chosen the eight
hour issue as the ground on which 10
| resist the masters demand, and II the
operatives stand resolutely for the
| shorter hours, they will undoubtedly
carry with them formidable sentl-
ment.
From ConStantinople comes the news
| that the sultsns tavorite wife, Nimet
Hanem, has been consigned TO imprIs-
| onment and disgrace, IF course IN the
sultan's palace. for some reason yet
unexplained. The affair has caused q
sensation. In former times, not SO
| long ago, the lady would have felt the
bow string. and she may yet, although
| Abdul Hamid is said to be tender
hearted man in his domestic relations.
dispatch from Munich says that
the crazy King Otto of Bavaria has be-
come so violent quite recently that II is
necessary 10 subject him to forcible re-
straint, and that on last Sunday, after
he had attempted to throttle one of his
attendants whom his majesty claimed
10 mistake for the evil one, the royal
arms were bound In straight jacket
and the royal form was strapped 20
chair. The latest craze OF King Otto ls
that the devil - continually in pursuit
of him and anxious to carry him of TO
the lower regions. As he Is very apt TO
assume that an attendant who brings
him his meals or performs any other
service Is the particular devil bent
upon sppropriating his anoiDted per
son, the life Of an attendant, like that
of the policeman ID the pirates Of Pen
zanCe. Is not happy one. IL u be-
lieved that King Otto's violent lcOndi-
ton IL a sign that his case Is arriving at
a climax and that his uncle, Regent
Inthoid, may sOon arrive at the
throne.
NO HITCH IN THE PROGRAM.
At Least Hundred Thousand Strangers
