THE MOkahe STAR CATHOLIC SSKNGKR SUNDAY February

RCarthy's death as murder" When Mr..
Rednond sat down, Mr.. Plunket and Mr.
croBs rose together. Already the good
Reflects of the spirited stand of the Irisb
8members made itself felt, in the promise
sjof the Home Secretary that the Commission
lust appointed should inquire into the
whole case. Mr.. Plunket made a clever
land even brilliant speech-superfclal as
lis his wont, and not in the best taste but
st took the house and he was cheered again
land again by the Tory members. In the
&cOurse of it he hopored the FreenadMs 8
Journal with a special attack in the pres
1ence of Mr. Gray on account of an article
stating that the prisoners had been released
1because of the fear of war, but the Irish
members one and all testified to the general
Ebelief that your article had only stated the
3sruth of the matter. When Mr.. Plunket
7sat down Mr.. A. M. Sullivan started to his
feet, and delivered, perhaps, one of the
most effective speeches ever delivered IN
parliament. His criticism on Mr.. Plunket's
3exhibition-made more in sorrow than I'M
3anger-made the learned member for the
4 University vince. He moved from his seat
4 left the House, returned, took another seat,
then went to the door, came back again !,
and was evidently m0st miserable under
the castigstion he received. Mr.. Sullivan
ACTUALLY electrified the House.
The close of the first days, or rather
nights, debate is thus reported:
4 Major O'Gorman moved the adjournment
3of the debate on the ground that the con-
duct of the Government was indecent, as
they had given no reply to the speeches.
which had been delivered.
4 Sir M. H. Beach intimated that he in.
tended to reply at the close of the debate
After some remarks from Mr.. Redmond +,
Mr.. Cross, and Mr.. Henry.
Mr.. Piunkett bsntered the Irieh memberA
upon having agreed to move an amend
ment to an address long before they kpewj
what it would contain, and urged that they
we're unreasonable in their demand.
Mr.. A. NJ. Sullivan protested against the|
adelivery of such an unpatriotic speech fromI
the grandson of Lord Plunkett. All the!
Irish members demanded was the reetora
Stion of that which by law aud by right be
aonged to her.
The Chancellor of the Excheauer deniedI
yjustice to Ireland, and asserted that Ire
Hand has received as much attention as anyi
aother part of the United Kingdom. Hell
could not consent to believe that in o timed
iof emergency Ireland was likely to prove al
source of weakness to Great Britain.
Mr.. Meldon suggested that at that mo
sment (ten minutes to one o'ciock) it was
impossible to discuss the question fairly.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer bowedA
his acquiescence, and amid some astonish-1
lment and considerable laughter the Houset
at once adjourned shortly before oneE
O'Clock.
DEATH OF DISTINGUISHED FRESHMAN.
A notable public man has passed awayl
In this city within the last few days in theI
person of John Mcnamara Cantwell,
isolicitor. Mr.. Cantwell claimed an ancientH
lineage, and always added "A" to his'
name 'to hint that the ancient 'Moykarks'
was within his rightful boast" He was al
most successful professional man, and was
the attorney of O'Connell and his fellow +
prisoners in the great State trial of 1914
He had considerable capacity for publics
business, and in 1854 engaged in an
unsuccessful and very bitter contest for the
representation of Louth with Mr.. Fortescue,s
the present Lord Cariingford. Almost hiss
last act was q very notable one. A few
hours before he expired he wrote out 10 +
Ia firm hand the announcement of his owpS
death, and directed it to the editor Of the
Freeman's Journal.
SENSIBLE ACTION OF IRISH ELECTORS. /
The Irish electors of GreeuOck haveS
done an act which is worthy of imitatiopE
4 by their c0pntrymen throughout Great
Britain, and which well dese1ves the
gratitude of irishmen in Ireland. At al
Public meeting of over three Thousand perl
sons they have pledged themselves, in caseE
DO definite pledge in support of the Homet
Rule program me is given by any of the can /
sdidates before the constituency, to vote for
the man whom MIR. Parnell, MP, shall re-!
commend to them on the eve of the elec-y
: stion~ Such spectacle of union, disciplined i
and obedience to the advice of the leaders,
1 of the national movement in Scotland csn-I
not fail to bear good fruit.
