length free from government by proc
lamation and removals by mag
Chief Secretary Morly has kept the
promise made by the liberal party TO
the Irish people, so far as this import
ant step IS concerned and Ireland is
under q government OF law. This
makes Impossible sucn outrageous
prosecutions as drove MessTs. O'Brien
and Dillon to take fight TO America
and male free speech farce through
out Ireland. Adyices from all parts
of Ireland show that the people have
received the new policy with the great
est satisfaction. The tory magistrates
who have exercised the power of Rus
sian governors and projects have been
deposed from their absolution and are
very humble individuals IN the pres
ence of the new authority who may
at any time withdraw their commls-
sions. The evicted tenants are pluck
ing up courage and have in several
instances again taken possession OF
their former homes. They run very
little risk in SO dong, as the proclama-
tions under the coercion act have been
revoked and the landlords cannot ap.
peal TO extraordinary measures for the
vindicatlon of their claims which would
have to be decided by jury of the
vlclnage.
Now All Would BE Land Owners
There is a strong disposition through
out Ireland TO effect a summary expul-
sion Of all landlords and have the ten
ants assume possession as owners. This
agitation is held in check, however, by
the fact that many of the tenants have
sub-occupiers under them who might
be inclined to assert a similar claim
against the tenants from whom they
hold. However, it is generally believed
that some method will be found for
the tenants Of the farm to take COM
plete possession practically if not nom-
inally as owners. This will establish q
new and powerful land owning class,
bound by its interests to support an
Irish home rule government against
the conservative element in Ireland.
The release of Gallagher, DAILY and
other Irish political prisoners is ex-
pected at an early date. The chief rea-
son for not appointing Sir William Har-
court home secretary was his opposition
to the release of these men. Sir VIII
liam Harcourt has always asserted that
the convection of the alleged dynamit-
ers was justifiable and that they ought
to be kept in prison. Mr.. Asquith, the
new home secretary, has no embarrass-
ing record on this subject and will
doubtless be willing to release anybody
he is ordered to let go.
Birth of a New w,princess.
At half past 8 o'clock on Tuesday
morning forty-two guns announced the
birth of a princess in the marble palace
Pottsdam. There is no concealment of
the prevalent wish that the next happy
turn of the event may be more distant.
The empress, as the mother of SIX chill
dren. has become habitually nervous.
The court lady has suffered severely
from her alternating despondency in
the last nlre months, and does not look
forward with pleasure to the days If
the empress convalescence. Her ply
siclans say that her constitution is phe-
nomlnally strong and that freedom tor
few years from the cares of child
birth would restore completely her
spirits.
Patriotic Pedestrian on His Travels.
NJ. Grandin, who IS trying to walk
from Paris to st. Petersburg in twenty
eight days Will reach KoenIgsburg this
evening. He left Paris on August 2l.
HIS original plan, according TO the
Paris press was to show his devotion TO
the dual alliance 10y sbs.ainlng from
all German food, and TO render this
possible he filled his kna1sack
with French bread and meat
lust before crossing the western
German border. The Paris papers now
acknowledge with sorrow that he has
been obliged to eat German fare. as the
fatigue of the journey could not be
sustained on cold meats. Grandin is
in good condition and thinks that he
will be able to reach 81. Petersburg by
September 81, or about ~ hours later
than was hrs original intention.

peared from all the better parts OF the
