Lorn Derrenin hag written condemning the three I's plan for settling the Irish land question, Ho holds that the adoption of such: a plan would be a concession to the agitators. The plan which he reedimmends ts that adopted some years ago by the Russian Gov- ernment in enfranchising the serfs—viz tho Government to buy the land from the landlords and let it to.the tenants, who would become tenants to the Government, paying a land tax instead of rent. Io ree ommends State-nided emigration to Canada and Manitoba for the Inhabitants of the poverty-stricken districts In the West of Ireland. Ho thinks this Intter plan would receive the approval of the Homan Catholic clergy. He ovidently overestimates their Influence when he thinks thoy can turn the stream of Irish iinmigration to this countrytoCanadaand Manitoba, Tho London Times does not approve of Lord Dufferin’s plans or any other one which would imply an advance of funds by the Government to tenants or intending emi- grants, —_—_ A Fine broke out in one of those man traps, the tenement houses of New York, yesterday morning through the carclesness ofa plumber named Iartington, who upset a gasoline lamp while at work In the base- ment. The house was tenanted by a num- ber of laborers and their familles, Thestairs leading to the various rooms were s0 narrow that two persons could not pass on them, aud the only other means of exit was a single fireescape, Tho flames ascended through tho narrow stairway, thus cutting off that means of exit, Those who eseaped from the burning pile did tt by jumping, Ten per- sons, five of thein being ehiklren, perished, and three persons were Injured In jumping from tho windows. ‘Harrington, the plumber, has been arrested, but up to the present neither the owner of the building nor the Chivf of the Now York Fire Depart ment has been Jailed. Mns, Cunistraxcy has been interviewed by a New York reporter in reference to her correspondence with Giro, made public yes- terday. Sho says that Giro. persceuted her into promising to*marry Ijim ag soon as she obtained « divorce from, her present hus- band. Ile intruded his attentions on her in the first Instance, and has'persistently perse- cuted her ever since., To prevunt his carry- out his threats that he would blast her char acter, she wrote lim letters in which she professed to love hin and promised to marry. hihn. Hor story tallies with that told by Mr. Blood, the former partner of Giro, Mrs. Christiancy further adds that she never met Gira away from her mother’s or her hus- band’s house excopt In the presence of a third party, a lady friend of hers, Whether Mrs. Christinncy’s story is true or not, there cnn bono question that Giro isan unmitigated scoundrel. A ¥rw ‘days ago the report camo from South Carolina that a young man nained Timinons had been ‘frizen to death near Charleston, 8.
