Affairs in Ireland.

United Press Asisoci&tioii- By EUotric j Telegraph—Copyright s LONDON, March 14 \ The Globe says that the United | Irish League, sprang from the tiniest beginning, is now a veritable upas tree, at which the Government is afraid to strike. Freemvnh Journal says the Minis ters are afraid to allow the King to ace the barbarous methods of the Castle | and the deep resentment of the Irish ; people Unionist newspapers in Ireland blame the blatant disloyalty of the minority, who misrepresent the real feeling of the Irish. They also blame Mr Redmond for not repudiating the conduct of that section—conduct which clinched the Minister's decision. Keen disappointment is felt in Bel fast and Cork. Mr Redmond'a amendment to re dace Me Wyndham's aakry was_ nega tived. Mr Wyndham made a brilliant vindication of his position. He was, at present, he said, repressing unlawful assemblies and intimidation leadings crime. Wherever the League is mis chievously active, the Government suspends the working of the Congested District Board Act, and if the juries did not convict offender, then the Government would bejuatified in pro ceeding under the Grimes Act.
