ANXIETY OVER IRELAND
Some Serious Conflicts Betzcee"
Police and Pe0Sdntry.

Dublin, May 30.--The latest phase Of the land
agitation in the congested districts OF Ireland is
taking the form Of a crusade against the holders
of grazing farms on the eleven months lease sys-
tenn and is developing with great rapidty and
intensity
Roscon'mon. Kings County and North Upper
times these localities saw many evictions, and
TO day the peasants are determined that the land
shall he redistributed TO small holders Reports
arc received daily OF the gathering Of large bands
Of peasants who destroy gates and fences and
clear the grazing ranches of cattle. which they
drive hack miles Of country to the farms
of the owners. In two cases men who had leased
ranches were compelled to abandon their hold
ings because of intimidation.
The authorities have drafted large forces Of
police into the disturbed districts with the
suit that there have been some serious conflicts
between The police and the peasants. and many
persons on both sides have been injured There
have been numerous prosecutions, but the sym
pathy with the aims of the peasants is strong
that in or two instances even the magis-
trates have declined concur in the conviction
Of the distUrbers of the peace, one magistrate
even going TO the extent OF declaring himself
ready to go to prison with the defendant.
In Parliament thesOpposition declares the Irish
League to be responsible for the growth of this
movement, using it as means to force the gov
eminent TO grant the Irish demands. The Chief
Secretary for Ireland, Mr. Birrell speaking in
the House of Commons to-day. admitted there
was considerable cause for anxiety but denied
the existence of any evidence of a widespread
conspiracy.
