SUSPECTS TO BE RELEASED WHEN
OUTRAGES STOP.
Skobeleff Again Uses his Tongue too
Freely.

TULLAMoRE, March 7.-Mr. Forster made
yery important speech to a crowd assembled
outside of the hotel on Monday. He spoke from
a window He said that tho reason he had I'M
dertaken personal tour was to see Tor himself
whether the stories which came to Dublin Cas-
tie were exaggerated. He was sorry that he had
found them to great extent true. The result
of this inspection on his mind was that the peo-
pie had it in their own power to stop the out
RACES which disgrace the name OF Ireland and
which would not happen in Great Britain or on
the continent. There were no more courageous
men in the world in battle than the Irish.

release the prisoners. y Mr.. Forster continued
But there is one want among the irish people,
namely, the determination to stand against the
majority around them or even against the moi
sy and violent minority. Those VINO commit
the outrages are broken down men, and violent
reckless boys. Whether you stop them or not
it is the duty of the Government to do so. 1t is
especially my duty, and stop them we will. The
instigators of outrage have several powers to
contend with, namely, the Irish Government,
though perhaps they think they can defy that;
also the Imperial Government and the people
of Great Britain. There may be bad landlords
but that does not excuse the burning of houses
the torturing of animals, the killing of men.
Mr.. Forster then referred to his visit to the
death bed of Moroney, the memory of which,
he said, would remain throughout his life. 81

about the English people. There is no ill-feel-
ing in England toward Ireland. We know
that you have been miserably and badly gov
erned country; that the English Government
of past days has done many cruel and very UNI
just things to Ireland and has allowed many to
be done. We wish to undo that make you
prosperous, rich and powerful as ourselves; but
we view these terrible outrages and hardly
know how to do so. L will conclude with the
words have often read-'God save Ireland =
words which sometimes end letters telling me
/ must have a bullet through my head or go to
place warmer than we are in now. say, God
save Ireland, too, but from the man that make
the threats; God save Ireland from cruel men,
grasping landlords, rackrenting landlords, dis
honest tenats and midnight marauders-
A voice-"What about the prisoners? Let
out the suspects.
Mr.. Forster-"Well, now, you ask about the
suspects. (Cries of Hear Hear.) As soon as
we can fairly say that the outrages have ceased,
that men are not ruined, notmaimed, not muir
dered for doing their duty or what they have q
legal right to do, the suspects will be released.
Mr.. Forster then retired, and the crowd dis
persed. The address was listened to with deep
attention. 1t caused Profound sensation In the
audience, and will make doubtless, an equally
profound and universal sensation throughout
the whole of Ireland.
