terror in the streets of Dublin. Secret
information is received by US that govern

Special powers are given officers of the
military and orders that have never
been exceeded in bloodthirstiness in the
annals of crime against humanity Thou
sands more arrests are expected, though
already the jails are overlooking VITA
prisoners. The Land League hiss pro-
claimed s'no rent" as the order of the
day. We confidently appeal to our
brethren in America for or widows and
orphans, for the homeless and starving,
and for the wounded victims of British
bullets, bayonets and cold blooded
butchery.

one constitutional weapon left which
the League has previously hesitaled to
use. The ex cutive advise mem bers of

Henry George was on his way to Ire
land met with hearty round of APP

and forbearing, the policy of passive re-
distance being strictly adhered to. The
