par in the proceedings the foot of Sackvie street.
which interfercd with the order of the procession
Fourth and laSty-There was tho discussion about
Lord o'Hagan's Grafton.
Every one OF these points is likely to give rise to
complications. To begin with the Callan incident
The Freeman's Journal, of yesterday and to-day, an
nounccs that Mr. Callan about reply the charges
of the Lord Mayor Indeed it is believed that Mr.
Callan will not find it difficult reply to the specific
accusation He had the permission, implied il not
pressed of Dr. Dunne of the leading members Of
The committee who had special charge of regulating the
admissions to the banquet Others had been admitted
'without having purchased ticket or received for
NAL invitation" 1t is believed, further that the Lord
Mayor had the actual of the case
but that he had forgotten it, AT the meeting he fol-
lowed the report of Mr. Kavanagh, with whom Mr..
Callan had not been very friendly terms for many
months Calan is energetic person, not overbur-
dened with nice notions fond of law The people o +
Dublin already discuss the probability of lawsuit
arising out of the structures of the Lord Mayor

mined letter from chief magistrate OF Dublin as that
bearing the signature of present Lord Mayor In your
issue Of tins day II he lost his temper Friday he

lar Indignation on Friday certainly not directed against
him) may possibly myself with the dreadful
charges which he makes against 'the member for
Louth;" but till then hope shall be excused.
As for His Lordships distressing fear Of being
shadowed by Mr. Dutt-a piece OF sense which furnishes
clew to much of the behnd-the scenes management
that eliminated in disaster on Frday-no harm can
come now Of letting pass as quietly as We can Our
Lord Mayor is good and kindly man, though not al
A. NJ SULLIVAN
At this moment 1t is not possible to say whether the
Lord Mayor or his friends will allow Mr.. Sullivan to
have the last word He is not foe to be easily
quered, especially at the pen. However, the Ceremo
uia Committee about issuing report on the whole
relebration and is not improbable that this report
will deal with the question touched upon this CORE
Bpondence.
DISTURBANCE sAcKvLLE STREET,
OF all responsibility for which Mr.. O'Connor Power
would be glad to dvest himself mainly, If not
eusvey, owing to the interference of the Amnesty As
rotation its representatives, with the programme
previously arranged by the National Committee. The
Amnesty Association was formed six years ago,

Most OF those prisoners have been discharged long
unce but few soldiers still remain in Jail the British
theory and defence for making this distinction being
that soldier who has taken oath to eight for the
Queen is double dyed traitor If he conspres for
Irish republic. OF course, If this theory
ted out to its legitimate conclusions, the
British theorists would be involved in many
amusing contradictions Anyhow, they do carry it out
In the of the soldier Fenians and all applications
for their release have been hitherto Intellectual 1t
ought however to be also stated that the number of
prisoners detained in confinement diminished,
The exertions of the committee became sackened its
numbers decreased and the status Of the members who
renamed not of the highest Further, unfriendly
critics have observed that the funds of the committee
largely recruited outside Ireland No doubt the Irish
people poor and have many calls upon their gcner
psty Still it is noteworthy that association for the
release from penal servitude of Irish political prisoners
Is mainly dependent for support eXtraneous
Is it, the unriendy critics suggestngy ask because the
Irish at home who best acquainted with the leading
members of the Association, and observe how it
works and how the money is employed, have no great
confidence in it2 At all events
THE AMNESTY ASSOCIATION
invited the Irish people n their thousands and
join the centenary procession walking under black
flags and with mourning emblems. The result has been

was naturally question Indignantly asked and furiOusly
discussed. Instantly r. j. Smyth, member of Para-
men for Westmeath, was charged with having done it,
Mr. Smyth most contempuously denied it, but 1t very
possible that in the excitement Of the moment he may
have given an order which he really forgot aerwad At
any rate the association which formerly rcckoned him
among their number summoned him TO appear before
them the night of Tuesday answer the charge
Smyth was desirous of going but reluctantly yielding
to the persuasion of his friends instead Of personally
attending, he sent letter TO the meeting
In the course Of the excited discussion which fol-
lowed the reading of those documents Mr. Charles
Stuart Parnel John Martins successor in the repre-
sentation of Meath denounced the whg faction that
sought get possession OF the city of Dublin last week

feeling of Ireland to the use OF insignificant and lie

ucll also made stroug Speech dcnouncing Mr. Smyth
and his 'runlanly borsemcn" IN no measured terms
It ended in the following resolution being adopted:-
That this meeting having heard the statement of
Aessrs. y. II. O'Donnell John Barry, j. DAILY, j.
RourKe, H. Dunn, and having heard the letter Of Mr.
Smyth, declining 10 attend our meeting, and his denial
OF the allegation made Is of opinion that Mr Smytns
letter is unsatisfactory reply To the history OF facts
AZ related by those gentlemen m whom this meeting
bias perfect confidence, and We hereby call upon Mr.
5myth to retire from tins body, or otherwise consider
himself expelled therclrom.
THR CAsE IN TuE HOUSE, OF LORDS.
Since writing the above | informed by the
dispatches TO the afternoon papers that the conduct of
the Lord Mayor of Dublin has already served as an ex-
suse tor member Of the House Of Lords to rise in his
ieat to Parliamentary inquiry. This feature Of
he controversy adds nothing whatever its compca
hons but will serve to keep the subject the mouths of
lho people for several weeks longer In this respect it
Is quite interesting, and the rcjonder of the Lord
Chancellor, however gravcy may have been uttered,
