[By Telegraph TO the Evening Journal1
LONDON, Oct. 26.-It is stated that at
the cabinet council to be held tomorrow
John Morley, chief secretary for Ireland,
will propose the release of Irish political
prisoners. 1t is likely to cause contro-
versy in the cabinet and is already agi-
tating the public.
The Telegraph today recites the most
notable of the dynamite outrages since
1881, including the attempts at the
Mansion House, London, March l6 1881
the Liverpool town hall, June 10, 1881;
the Mansion House, London, May lS,
1882; the local government board office,
Whitehall, March 10, 1888; the police
offices, Scotland Yard, May 30, 1884; the
Tower of London, January "a, 1885 and
the house of commons on the same day.
The same paper defies the government
to degrade the prerogative of mercy by
releasing those whom it calls the human
monsters who took part in these out
RACES.
There is but little opposition to the
release of the Fenians, Mullen and Dow
ling and the alleged dynamiter, J. f.
Egan, who have served two-thirds of
their terms. Mullen was convicted of
being concerned in the murder, in
Phoenix park, Dublin of Lord Frederick
Cavendish, chief secretary of Ireland,
and Mr.. Burke, under-secretary. Dow
ling was implicated in the murder of a
policeman named Cox.
The question of greatest interest is
whether the government will dare re-
lease Dr. Gallagher and others, alleged
to have been concerned in the explosion
in London, Liverpool and Glasgow. The
impression prevails that the government
will not take the responsibility of liber-
ating these men.
Trying to Avert the Cotton Strike.
The master cotton spinners state that
they are willing to arbitrate the present
trouble, provided the operatives will
give express utterance to desire of arbi-
tration. The operatives, on the other
hand, insist on short time, instead of
reduction of wages with present hours
as the proper remedy for existing
troubles and apprehension is felt that
the operatives will decline the proposal
for arbitration.
Recent English advices on the subject
of the impending cotton strike state that
the cricis in the southeast Lancashire
cotton spinning trade is approaching an
acute stage. During the past week the
operatives in the various districts af-
fnI k.rr .afI h ..f
the master spinners to impose a reduc-
tion of wages to the extent of FIVE per
cent. and in every instance have unani-
mously decided to oppose the reduc-
tion.
The masters show no signs of giving
way, and strike or lock out is immi-
nent. Work people who are entitled to a
fortnight's warning will receive notices
next week, and those who are under a
seven days engagement. the following
week
1t is computed that of the 90, 900, 900
spindles organized in the masters feder
ation nearly 5000, 900 will be stopped,
the remainder paying the federation fine
of farthing spindle aweek.
Assuming that 10, 10000 stop 10000
work people, of whom almost 5000 are
women and children, will be thrown out
of employment.
The funds of the operatives organiza-
tion are in a prosperous condition, and
already promises of support have been
received from the operative spinners in
north and northeast Lancashire and
Bolton districts, who are not affected by
the dispute.
Stocks of yarn in the manufacturers
hands are moderately heavy and it is be
lieved that If the production of yarns
were stopped weaving of cloth could bs
continued two or three weeks without
difficulty. If the lockout or strike SHOULD
extend over three weeks the pinch would
begin to be felt and many of the weaving
sheds would have to close.
Aiding Evicted Tenants.
DUBLIN, Oct. 6.-Archbishop Croke
of Cashel, in a letter inclosing donation
of $3.50 to the fund in aid of evicteC
