The Irish Question.
(Press Association.)
London, March 13
The Irish members of the House of Commons are unable to agree upon any attitude with regard to the financial relations between England and Ireland, and have abandoned the attempt to decide upon united action on tbe matter.
A deputation of Irish landowners waited upon the Premier and complained that the reduction in rents was ruining the smaller landholders and owners, whose only refuge is the workhouse. Lord Salisbury, replying, said he foretold this when the 1881 Act was passed. He would consider the request to appoint a committee, although he did not believe it would be adapted for the purpose.
