New York, Oct 1S-A Dublin special saws
"Mr. Foresters reply to Lord Mayor and the
Corporation yesterday will exasperate the peo-
pie still more. Mr.. Foster received deputa-
ton of the corporation, who had come to pro
test against the ostentatious display OF police
force with some impotence, and told them in
effect that the police had acted under orders,
and would do the same thing again If necessary
finally waving the Lord Mayor and others out
of the room with actual discourtesy. Il was
certainly CALLING to the chief executive of the
city and to the corporation that they should
not be consulted regarding the peace of the
city, and when they asked the British official
who administers the city police they are sum-
marily dismissed. AS an eyewitness on both
nights can testify to thewanton brutality of
the police. It was dangerous to go out into the
streets, not On account of the mob, but on ac-
count of the police"
