January "a without his leave whether he
suggested the appointment of a British
censor to revise, before publication, the
| speeches delivered in the House and SEN
ate; whether he suggested the person best
fitted to administer soothing syrup to the
British lion when disturbed by an eagles
wing; whether he suggested official recog-
milton Of the New York Tribune, founded
by Horace Greeley, a member of the Irish
Directory of 1913, as the British organ in

port as possible of the conversation which
