LONDON. Aug. 3.-Trevelyan. Chief
Secretary of Ireland, has arrived at Bel
fast. The Mayor presented him an ad.
dress Of welcome, and expressed the
desire Of the residents TO strengthen
Treyelyan's hands in the discharge of
his duties. TFeveiyan in reply said il
would be idle to deny the existence OF
personal danger in the task of govern
ing Ireland. The remedy against ont
RACES was TO have tribunal which
could be trusted to do justice wlthOu,
fear. When the Irish people were con-
victed they would have \ tribunal which
would give verdict according to the
evidence. It would have sn important
effect on those who are expecting it to
prove an impossibility. to find that it ia
the policy of the government to dis
tinguish between criminal and political
acts. They do not care to concern
themselves about political meetings.
but against Outrages they are deter
mineo to wage undying, unrelentihg
war. The remarks of Treyelyan were
received with cheers. Trevelyan sub
sequently visited the iron works. Flags
were displayed on the houses and on
vessels in the hnrbor in honor of the
visit of the Chief Secretary.
