TreveIyan, chief secretary for Ireland, ar
rived in Belfast Wednesday. The mayor
presented him an address of welcome and ex-
pressed a desire of the residents to strength
en- his hands in his onerO,ls duties. Treyel-
yapin reply said it would he idle to deny
the existence Of personal danger in the task
ofgoyerning Ireland. The remedy against
outrages was to have tribunal which could
be trusted to do justice without fear. When
the Irish people are convinced that they
have tribunal which will give verdict ac-
cording to evidence it will have an import
ant effect. Those who expected agrarian
murders to suddenly cease, he said, were
expecting; e.! ssnpo ssibility. The fixed poll
icy OF the government is to distinguish be-
tween criminal and political acts. They did
not care to concern themselves with roliti-
icaf meetings, but upon outrages they were
determined to wage.
