the responsibility with him. If they
were guilty of the things charged he
would join in asking their punish
ment. The Premier spoke until 10 p.
M, and the session lasted until mid
night. The whole affair has caused a
tremendous sensation.
THE POPE AND THE IRISH QUESTION.
New YORK, May 12.-The Catholic
News received the following cable.
gram from Rev. Francis Stevens. its
correspondent in Rome: The recent
rescript of the Holy Father on the
Irish question is an indication OF the
Papal policy to be pursued with |
respect to the agitation now being
carried on in the Emerald sle. Arch
bishop Walsh, of Dublin, had MANY |
audiences with His Holiness on the |
subject. The Pope affirms that, as
far as it is in his power, he will pro-
tect the interests Of the Irish people,
but that he will condemn anything in
the land war that is of a revo-
lutionary nature. The Holy Father
has gone farther and informed
the English Government he expects
them to do something for the Irish
tenant farmers. This was insisted
upon by the Papal Secretary in his
with the Duke of Norfolk.
A further explanation of this decree
is that it was inspired by the requests
of the Irish Bishops who brought the
matter to the Vatican's attention for
official action. 1t is known that Par
nell is opposed to the plan of tie cam
paign, and has never taken part in it.
1t is believed in Rome that the in
terests of the Irish can be best served
by means that will not antagonize
public sentiment and bring the Irish
cause into disfavor.
