LONDON, Sept. ia series on cdpl-
net conferences will begin about the
middle of October, continuing with the
needful intervals till the end of No
Vegnber. Parliament, according to ar
rangements made prior to the recess,
viii resume on or about Jan. 10. The
measure which the ministers have to
discuss in counsel include a revised edu-
cation bill military works bill, and
probably an Irish local government
measure. The prevalent notion in po-
litical quarters is that the government
does not mean to touch this crucial
Irish question until the last session of
the present parliament in 1901, when
they would reaojust Irish representa-
tives, reducing the number of Irish
members in the imperial parliament
and generally weakening, as far as
possible, the nationalist strength in par
liament. But in the best informed Off
cial circles, il is known that some in
tention exists in Lord Salisbury's and
Mr.. Balfour's minds to deal in the COM
ing session with Irish local govern
ment, but the United Associated
Presses representative can state
ON RELIABLE AUTHORITY
that instructions have been given to
the treasury to prepare reports con-
nected with a new system of admins
tration in Ireland. Mr.. Chamberlain

gained knowledge of how dangerous
the situation in ireland is becoming.

$50 far from the Irish question having
subsided, 1T will ere long become acute,
through the revival of the old physi-
cal force methods. The recurrence of
Fenianism in towns and a new kind of
Tibbonism in the country, is so acute
and widespread as TO have evoked the
alarm Of the authorities of Dublin cas-
tie and the anxiety of the Catholic
clergy The causes of the growth of
Fenianism are not obscure. Agitation
for home rule through parliamentary
acts is everywhere recognized as a fail
ure. Neither Dillon, Healy nor Red
mond, nor any grouping of party poll
credit from young ireland as agents
for Irish independence. The party in
parliament needs the help of old forms
of agitation. which will keep the Eng
lish mind alive to the truth that the

The arrest of lyman and his fellow
consp1rators is already taken as proof
in certain quarters that the physical
force party which has remained quiet
for number of years, has finally de-
teIrnined to
RENEW THE OUTRAGES
that some time ago almost caused
Transformation among the British Off
ci7ls and by this means force upon the
government the knowledge that a. re-
SusaI 10 pass a home rule bill does not
put an end to the Irish question.
In other and more extended circles
st is becoming the accepted view that
the lyman plot and its denouement on
the eve of the cars visit to France
has long been known and that ii was
arranged by the Scotland yard authori-
ties. The Irish nationalist papers
scout the notion that the alleged con-
spiracy has any connection with a
resurrection of secret societies in Ire
land.
The great International strike arrang-
ed by Tom Mann, Bentilet and orher
labor agitators is, according to Mr.
Mann, to begin about Oct. l. This cable
correspondence mentioned this strike
notion when it was in its initiatory
phase and predicted then that it would
not take place. Since then the leaders
of the movement continued to get ad-
ditional notoriety but scant money. The
international federation of dock ship
and river workers which they de-
CLEARED to have been formed and ready
to engage in

nothing more. When Tom Mann speaks
