1t Is thought to be desirable that the

over the entire island, be modified 20 as
to limit the naval c~ommandant 10 the ex-

the few white civilians some sort Of repre-

power is also asked for the governor. By
a singular omission the natives never have
received any Acknowledgement from the

DEBATE OVER IRISH LAND
Question Called Up in House Of Commons
and Warm Words Passed.
ERA OF TURMOIL IS NOW THREATENED
some Members Assert II is Impossible

I'm Face of Present
Agitation.

LONDON, July "A long and heated de-
bate on the Irish land question was pre-
cipitated in the House Of Commons to-
night. Thomas w. Russell, liberal, moved
the adjournment Of the house to discuss
the pending evictions from the estate OF
Lord de Freyne, in Roscommon county, In
connection with which that nobleman re-
cently had writs issued against several
members Of the Irish parliamentary party,
whom he charged with conspiracy.
Mr.. Russell declared that unless the gov
eminent interviewed to prevent these evic-
tions an era Of turmoil would be inaug-
urated in the west Of ireland, where there
was trouble enough already. He eaid that
he had visited the De Freyne es-
tate three times and that he was
thoroughly convinced OF the injustice
under which the tenants suffered.
The people there were the poorest Of the
poor. He believed one word from Mr..
Wyndhsm. the chief secretary for Ireland
would settle the whole trouble and he
thought the reduction OF the rents col
lected on the estate by S3 per cent would
not be excessive for those bog lands, which
were now renting for more money than
was obtained for decent, arabic land in
Ulster county. r.
Mr.. Wyndham replied with some asper-
sity that he was surprised to find Mr.,
Russell siding against law and order. The
rents from the De Freyne estate, he said
had been reduced 81 per cent in the last
twenty years and he knew some Of the
organizers were making money out of the
agitation. His advice to the tenants was
to pay up.
This statement was greeted with groant
from the Irish members.
Hundreds had done so, said Mr.. Wynd'
ham. and this remark was met with con-
sentative cheers. Many more would Ike
to pay, the chief secretary added, but were
intimidated. Mr.. Wyndham said 1t was i'm
possible to carry out the ~land-purehast
scheme in ireland when 1t was interrupted
by agitators who desired to make govern

clared that whatever money was paid II
