John E. Redmond, the Irish leader, moved the
adjournment of the House of Commons to-day
in order to call attention to the lack Of progress
IN the matter Of reinstating evicted tenants in
Ireland, owing, as the speaker alleged, TO the
landlords hindering this operations of the Land
act by refusing to sell untenanted lands. The
land commissioners were consequently unable
TO provide farms for evicted tenants. Mr. Red
rnond said il was obvious that the government
must resort to some system of compulsion The
patience of the Irish people becoming ex-
hausted, and although the Irish party desired to
give opportunity for the greatest degree of fair
play pending a declaration of the governments
intention regarding Irish self-g government, il
thought that the Chief Secretary for Ireland
Mr. Bryce ought TO grapple with the matter
vigorously.
Replying to Mr.. Redmond Mr.. Bryce after
some debate, said the government had done its
best to cope with the grave obstacles before It.
and had won a certain measure of success If
the remedy was compulsion, the Chief Secretary
said the government might have to come to
that.
that Mr. Bryce's statement involved a complete
triumph for the Nationalists. and the subject
dropped.
