information that the indication of war has
aroused the dormant hopes of many hetero-

ligious prosecutions. They would gladly

the condition of the country. 1t would ba
better if he visited the huts of evicted fami-

tined to be the king of Ireland (great uproar
and shouts of ''Never'' should be so igno-
rant of the public feeling in Ireland

sceptre and whitewash Dublin castle, and to
connect him (the prince with the murder of

ment his visit would have no political effect
whatever.
