shouted to him to stop or he would shoot. The man
tesitated a moment and acted In dazcd manner
Before he could again mount the RAIL- the roundsman
and Officer Duryca had seized him, and after strug
c,e arrested him and took him to the Second Precinct

that the leading men OF the United Sta'es "oio
opposed to thc idea OF Home kuie
Will you permit me to say that the honorable
gentleman has been entirely msinformed. haSh
never said what he supposes, which would nave
been contrary to the truth. for my experience
of the public men of America was that they were
almost TO a man in favor OF Home Rule "ha'
| did say was that the majority did not approve
the policy OF Mr.. Gladstone as developed In his
bill Ny exact words were They are IN iaVor
of the largest possible extension OF sclt-goVerh-
ment but they are altogether opposed 10 any
policy that does lead or can by any possip'iiV
lead in the direction OF the disintegrauoh VI
great empire The Americans very naturaly scO
before themselves as the type and model oi
pcrfcct and satisfactory representative government

which would make the States independent oil the
