MR.. BALFoUR's HARD TASK.
Irish Party in the House Preparing to
Embarrass Government.

London. Feb 2O-John E. Redmonds amendment
to the address in reply to the Speech from the
Throne declaring that the present system of Irish
government is opposed to the will of the Irish
people" which will be moved in the House OF Com
mons to-day. is expected to place the government
in a situation more difficult than that arising
from the fiscal debate II is framed to enable
the Opposition to raise the whole question OF the
position of Sir Antony Macdonnel, under secretary
to the Lord Lieutenant of ireland, and the Dun
raven devouton scheme, on which there is evident
ly much dissension within the Cabinet itself.
Lord Lansdowne having admitted in the House
OF Lords that Lord Dudley. Lord Lieutenant OF Ire
land. knew that Macdonnell was helping Lord Dun
raven in his devolution plan, and Lord Dunraven
having declared that Secretary Wyndham and Mac
donnell had many long conversations the CON
dition OF Moderate opinion In Ireland Mr. Wynd-
hams disavowal of Macdonnell causes a certain
amount of caustic comment while the Orange ,sec-
ton loudly calls for the resignation of both Lord
Dudley and Sir Antony Macdonnell. The debate
will extend over two days and probably will be
acrimonious. The Opposition will endeavor to drive
home the view that Macdonnell is being made a
scapegoat.
