fight for the integrity of the empire. The
issue is not merely to erect legislature in
Dublin but is something much stronger. 1t
is the handing over of the executive of Ire
land to those favorable to the separation Of
that country from England. The govern
ment sought to transfer the supreme power
to those who would prevent the action OF or
dinary law and substitute lynch law. There
fore, if the executive of Ireland is handed
over to Dublin Parliament, their military
government likewise will soon be under It's
control. The executive will be able to raise
troops as it did hundred years ago and
those troops would become masters of Ire
land, If difficulty should arise between
England and foreign powers the troops thus
raised might side with the enemy only few
nights ago in the House of Lords minister
of the crown said that large proportion of
the Irish hated the English Was it not mad
ness to expect that hatred to change in a
day and to place in the hands of the Nation

the safety of the empire?'
Funeral of the Belfast Victims.
BELFAST, June 12.-The scenes attending
the funerals of victims of the recent riots
were very affecting The women walled and
the men sobbed. Crowds along the funeral
routes were the largest seen here for many
years. There was no disorder. The police
and military stood in pretty close file all the
way with loaded rifles. The public have
subscribed literally TO defray the expense of
the funerals. The money raised has already
proved suficientto buy the graves needed by
each bereaved family and to leave hand
some balance, which will be divided among
the needy relatives of the dead. A number
of rioters have already been convicted and
sentenced to various terms of imprisonment,
one to seven months at hard labor. 1t is
to disarm the people of Belfast Troops con-
tinue to arrive in large numbers. Their pre-
sents indicates that the authorities fear that
more troublesome times are coming up.
Effect of Ludwig's Deposition.
MUNICH, June 13-King Ludwig's deposi-
tion has thrown gloom over the Bavarian
metropolis. Business is partly suspended.
Many evidences are presented on every side
of the deep attachment of the people for the
unfortunate King Crowds are standing on
the corners reading and discussing Prince
Luitpold's proclamation announcing the de-
position and his own regency. When Lud-
wig heard that the ministerial deputation
was approaching his Hohenschuan castle with
a letter for him to sign, cOnsenting to a re-
gency, he ordered his guards to load their
rifles and forcibly prevent the deputation
from entering. He then locked himself in
an inner room. The Mountain .Peasantry
living in the vicinity of the castle became
greatly excited when they heard what was
going on They congregated about the cas-
tie and threatened the lives of the deputa-
tion. Count Holsteen, who led the deputa
ffnn osad w ic a foil my III ~
tempted to force an entrance into the castle.
1t was for this he was seized and impris-
oned in the building by order of the King.
When other members of the deputatlon saw
the treatment accorded Count HolSteen they
all ran away. After while they returned
with strong military escort. Then they
succeeded in conveying to the castle guards
and excited peaSantry an Ineligible state
ment Of the deputations simple and harmless
mission. When the guards and peasantry
understood this they gave way and deputa-
tion was permitted to enter the castle, but
could not succeed in reaching the King. They
left Prince Luitpold's letter, replaced the
King servants by others, placed strong
military Gordon around the castle and left
two physicians to guard the Kings room.
Subsequently physicians succeeded in OBJ
tanning access to the King. They induced
him to permit himself to be removed to Berg
castle on Lake Starnberg. The State coun-
ell have informed the Kings mother of her
son uepoSlllOn. one al once maze arrange
ments to retire to convent. Her father and
brother died mad and the same fate impends
over her sons. The Catholic clergy evident
ly appreciate the gain to them OF Ludwig's
deposition. They will undoubtedly assert
more influence over Prince Luitpold than
they ever could assert over King Ludwig.
The Pope has sent congratulations to Prince
Luitpold upon his assumption of the regency
and has ordered Papal Nuncio at Munich
court to establish most cordial relations be-
tween the regency and vatican. At Berlin
the deposition of King Ludwig is regarded
with supreme indifference. Count Boos of
Waldeck. has been appointed Guardian of
the King.
