MR. GILHo0LY PREPARED FOR HIS FATE"
Mr. Gilhooly had consulted his leader, who
approved of his resolution to leave the House pub
iicly by the members entrance. The little man
was the centre of an sdnlrlng crowd In the loooy'
lie is one Of the stanches and plucldest OF the
whole Irish party and is popular with all who

DRAMATIC SCENE IN THE STREET
At once o scene of excitement began. Cheers
were raised for Mr.. Gilhooly. demand was
made TO have the warrant read. The crowd OF
members began TO be surrounded by a large crowd
of the miscellaneous passers-by. One Of the at
tendants of the House, his head bare and his
white shirt-front and glded badge exposed to the
vulgar gaze had rusht distracted into the street,
an Unprecedented instance Of fOrgetfulness of off,
cia dignity. The detective had got beneath the
lamppost, and amid much jostling proceeded pain
fully to read the warrant. AT last 1t was read.
MIR. GilhoOy and his captors moved toward the
road and great cheer arose from the whole crowd
Several members rushed to grasp the prisoners

great eagerness to the front and slapped Mr.. Gil

NJ MBFRs CROwr AFTER THE PRISON n.
At the police Office few OF the members accom-
panyng Mr.. Gilhooy were allowed to enter. Mr..
McLaren, John Bnghts nephew, Dr. Hunter the
member for Aberdeen. Mr.. Esslemont, also a
Scotch member, Mr. McCarlan. MIR. OBrien Colo
mel Nolan aud myself Mr.. McLaren as an Eng
lsh member was eager to have the privilege Of
bailing Mr.. Gilhooly. So were Dr. Hunter aud
MIR. Essemont They offered any sum. The Lon
don magistrate who backed the warrant being a
relative Of Mr.. McIarens, the latter wished TO
him, TO appeal TO him. but the detective who had
Mr. Gilhooly in charge said that he had Imperative
orders not to admit his prisoner to bail under any
circumstances.
Well" said Mr. McLaren to Mr.. Cilhooly,
|" this is good days work for the cause of your
country, but am no W ashamed OF mine"
Mr.. GihOoly said: I" DO not trouble would
not accept any privilege at Baliour's hands.
if he Offered it,"
With hearty handshakes the friends Of the
gallant little man said goodbye TO him. and we
left him in the hands OF his capt0rs, who seemed
rather embarrassed by the charge they had in
their hands and who i must say, were as cour
teous as they could he.
The arrest of Mr. Ghooly and Mr.. Pyne will
give new turn to the Parliamentary situation.
Within doors IL will be made by MIR. Psmell the
