"'---T " - Dublin. April l7.--Mr. Bnrren's new Irish land, bill differs in e number of particulars from the bill of last ses-
 sion. but fin most cases the changes introduced are not important. Many of the sections have been redrafted. however. in Part II. (Land Purchase). and a number of new sections have been inserted, the effect of which will, nb doubt be closely scrutinised. The bill as now drafted contains sixty-five clauses, while it's predecessor contain- ed only fifty. The most important change in Part I. (Ffnance) is in rs- gard to temporary borrowing by bills or Honda" Section |. subdivision 3. of repayment of such securities out of the Irish Land Purchase Fund. but the new bill further declares that If the capital account of that fund is insuf- ficient." such biIle or bonds "shall be charged on and payable out of the Consolidated Fund of the United Kins- dom or the growing produce thereof. 4 This emendation. of course. dehmtely improves the security of these tern- porary loans. Another change is that the minimum price at which guaran- teed stock may be Issued for the pur. pose of carrying out purchase 9gree- ments is to be 92x.d., not e2. A new sub section (2) has been introduced in- to Section 5 ("Provisions as to per- centase"). which gives increased fa- ,cilities in the matter of time for ef- fecting agreements. Tn the interpre- tation section. the date November has now been changed to March 1.
 At largely attended meeting of the Nationalist Party 1t was unanimously decided to support the second reading of the bilI. The following resolution was also passed:
 That q committee be appointed to draft amendments to be moved on be- half of the party in Committee on the Land Bill. and that the committee con- sist of the following. Messrs. Clancy. Muldoon, Kilbride, Dillon, Kettle, O'Shee and Kavanagh and that no member of the party should givel notice of any amendment without first sub- hitting it to this committed, and that for amendments from all members of the parGy, and shall report the amend ments SO prepared to the party before they are placed on paper"
 !. J. C'Reily proposed. and J. Roche seconded the following resolution. which was carried unanimously:
 That in the opinion Of this party the movement announced under the name of the All for Ireland League, William 0'Brien's organization Is hos tile to and intended to be subversive of this piedge-bound party and the Unit ed Irish League; that It's success. could only result in creating a fresh split in the national ranks, with conse- quences disastrous to the national cause, and we strongly condemn this movement as an attempt to spread fac- ton and it's resultant ruin throughout Ireland We call upon members of this party to abstain from identifying them- selves in any way with this new move- ment, and we appeal to the National fists of ireland to do all in their power to put down this attempt to divide the national ranks and ruin the national cause."
 John Redmond has addressed . word of warning" to the Irish people with regard to the "Ail-for- Ireland" League, Mir. Redmond says:
 .aThe new movement and the new or ganization are manifestly an attempt to set aside the party and the United ceive any countenance from the people, would fuaugurate a new spirit. with disastrous consequences to ali the hopes of the country. They would, if suc- cessfui, break up and destroy Ireland. Ia piedke-bound party, and kin the, United Irish League. and. although I have no shadow of apprehension of such a calamity becoming reality. still 1t is we'll that the plain issue should be put before the people before any section of them lend themselves to this enterprise. The plain issue is, do they, or do they not. desire to promote q new split in Ireland? Do they, or do they not. desire to break up the Irish party and destroy the United Irish League?'

 At meeting of the West Cavan di- rectory of the United Irish League in Belturbet. a resolution was received from the Killeshandra branch refer ring to Joseph Devlin, M. F.. and Den
