efforts are being made to induce the
Queen to open the new Science and
Art Buildings in Dublin, which will
be completed early next year. The
Dublin Chamber of Commerce and the
Royal Dublin Society are taking mea-
sures to have the matter 5roughr before
her Majesty in the hope that she will
visit Ireland in the ensuing Spring, and
it is understood that the Science and
Art Department will also do what they

MI. Michael Davitt, speaking at a
lecture delivered in the Rotunda on
Saturday, July Is. by Mr.. Henry
George, said in reference to the new
agrarian movement that what MIR. Par
nell proposed to do was to create a
trades union combination in connection
with agriculture or the protection of
those who titled the soil, until there
was final and just settlement of the
Irish land question. The programme
of the new combination would, he
hoped, leave open the question of what
the final settlement of the irish agrarian
problem was to be. Any settlement, to
to be final, must be made in a Parlia-
ment elected by the Irish people.
Speaking Oh last Friday night at
Derby, Mr.. T. u. Sullivan, Mp, re-
ferred to the formation of the Irish |
Tenants League. He said 1t was to be |
a combination OF the whole Of the Irish |
tenantry to meet Mr.. Smith Barry's
infamous syndicate for depopulating |
large districts and ceplantlng the coun-
try with settlers from other parts OF |
Ireland. He had some reason to believe
that the details and plans of the ccm-
bination had received the appreciation
of eminent English statesmen. If that
were SO, might God defend the right.
He asked the English people to watch
the coming struggle, and give the Irish
people their sympathy and assistance if
they deserved it.
