Mn. Briowr’s speech at Birmingham yes- terday Is the most fmportant pronouncement. yet madeon the Srish land question, and goes tar to Indleate the character of the measure wich the Ministry with introduce Into Par Hament next session for tha settlement of tliat question, Mr, Bright strongly con- demned the present system of Jand-ten- ure ‘In Ireland, and held that the Lords by thelr rejection of the Compensation btll were responsible for the’ present disturbed state of Ireland, Ilo has evidently been an attentive student of Irish history, and has become convinced that the Irish people will not be Improved by coercive measures, Force, he sald, would effect nothing. Ile con- demned 3the proposed forced expropriation of the Iandlords as wild and chimerieal. Tho plan which Mr. Bright favors is that whieh is known in Ireland as the three F's: Fisity of tenure, fate rents, and free sale. Hy this plan the Industrions tenant would be seenred In the possession of his holding, the landlords would be protilbited from collect Sng an exorbitant or unjust rent, and tho Government would give tenants facilities to purehnse thelr holdings from such Jand- lords as would ne willing to sell, As Mr. Dright iss Cabinet Minister, and ashe par- ticipated in the recent Cabinet session where the Government proposal was discussed, it is evident that bis scheme fs the one which meets with most favor among hls associates, and which Is inmost likely to be adopted. _————— A Bnussets dispatch says that 8,000 riffes have been shipped from various Italian ports toIretand. ‘The guns are of the imost ap proved pattern, were made In Switzerland, and were purchased by Irish-Amerieans for tho uso of thelr kinsinen in the “ould” sod, The story lacks confirmation. ‘The Commander-in-Chief of the British forces In Irefund, Sir John Michel, has received or- ders to hold himself in readiness to move by forced marches at a moment’s notice to Galway, in the west of Ireland, in order to quell any disturbances ‘which might ‘occur there. It is salt that ithe movement Is made partly to prevent certain terrivle and probably tmaginary fel- tows, known as American Fenians, from landing with large quantitles of arms slong the western coast. It is possible that there fs not any foundation for the arms story, that the British Government is seared without cause, and that the Com- mander-inChief will have his» hur- ried journey for nothing, Tho Erne tenantry, acting on the advice of the Land League, have nbandoned their project of journeying across a couple of counties In order to pay rent to aman who has already refused to take St. ‘fhe League thinks that Boycott must leave in any case, even shoul Lord Erne not consent. Tux dedate in the French Senate on M, Butlet’s Interpellation was resumed yester- day, Senator Chesnelong, Orleanist, charged the Ministers with being mere pupnets to Gambetta, and sald that they went. forward or drew back just as hedirected, ‘The nceu- sation caused great indignation among the supporters of the Government, The speech of the debate, however, was dellyered by Jules Simon. ‘The veteran statesman made an impassioned onslaught on the Ministers and eulogized M.de Freycinet and his poliey. M, Duverney propused a resolution regret- ling that the pollcy of M. de Freycinet had not been followed, and expressing a hope that such policy ‘should bo adopted fn tho future. M. Simon proposed a resolution condemning the policy of tho Government as: arbitrary anid enleulated to provoke disturbances, Premier Ferry opposed beth motions, and moved that the Senate proceed to consider the regular business without acting on either. His mo- tion was adopted on a close vote,—H8 toa 187, ‘Khe Ministers, however, could afford to suf- fer a defeat in the Senate, if they had a rell- able backing In the Chamberof Deputies, but they have not. : A NEW railway ordinance providing for the laylug of a street-car track on Lake street was introduced into the City Council Monday night, and it Is belleved at tho In- stance of the West Division Railroad Com- pany, ‘The ordinance provides for the usual rate of fare, five cents, but for the privilege of laying and operating the tracks it provides that the Company shall keep stxteen feet In the middle of the street in repair, and pay a leense of $50 per enr to the city for the aver- nge number of ears which St will run on the street daily. It further provides that the tallroad company shall pay half the cost of n new: four-trnck bridge to be operated by steam over the river at Lake street, and also pay $1,000 per annuin for operating the bridge and keeping It in repair, The propo- sittons of the Company are so Hberat that some of the Aldermen, and many who are not Aldermen, are much surprised, _———_ Iris thought that the English Government will yleld to the demands of the Scotch and English stock-raisers to remove muny of the obstacles In the way of the importation of Anvriean enttle, Mr. Mundella, M2, Views Preaident of the Councll, has become con- vineed, It ts said, that the so-called ‘Toxns fever with which Amerlean cattle were supposed to be Infected is no fever at all, and Is slmply a stage of exhaustion produced by the long Atlantic voyage, Store cattle aro now in great demand in Scotland and the North of England, and the representatives of these sections aye trying to Impress on the Govern- weit the desirabiity of modifylug the quar- autine regulations on cattle.

ST ares Manrsuat Witatron, of Now Orleans, suys that Messrs, Wells and Lanler, Republican candidates for Congress {nthe Fourth and Fifth Districts of Loulst- ana, will’ contest the seats of Messrs, Blanchard and King, Democrats, who re- velyed the Governor's certificate of election, Itts not huprobable that Messrs, Kerr and Itatn will contest the seats of Gibson and Elis from tho First and Second Districts, ‘Yhe grounds of the contest will be fraud, bribery, and bulldozing, ——— ‘Tene fs good reason to believe that the connecting Hnk in the chain of evidence which will connect certaln prominent Demo- erats with the forgery of the Morey letter and the subornation of perjury in the Philp caso has been found in one H, I. Hadley, who was Chairman or Secre- tary of a so-called Independent Repub- lican Club in New .York.
