In the latter part Of the seventh, Brennan

the statement that Barttelot deliberately
hit woman. For this Barttelot would
have been lynched if Bonny had not sue

Ronny has mot the slightest doubt that
the boy Hondi died from the effects of a

the statement that the mission boy, John

the effects Of three hundred lashes. He
did not desert, AZ stated, but was left on
the road. The boy was afraid to come back
because he had sold Barttelot's revolver to
procure food. The major recaptured the
boy and had him publicly sentenced to be
shot. not intending to carry out the sem
tenOe.
The whole camp threatened to desert il
the sentence was executed. Barttelot then
exclaimed: "By God, will give him 800

most horrible he lBonny) ever saw. Morti-

fell in pieces to the ground. His body
swelled to twice its ordinary size and he
died in twenty-four hours.

| NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The AmeIican com !.
mittee for the relief Of tho famine in Ire
land has. issued public statement an
nouncine that it temporarily withdraws ita
appeai.t to the American people. The state
ment says: "While at the time the appeal
VA issued there was no reason for believ-
ing the distress would be relieved other
wtse than by American generosity, the Brit
ish government has since been spurred to
investigate the matter, and to undertake a
system Of public works in the distressed
districts, which by affording partial relief
will, at least, postpone famine. The COM
mittee has good reasons to believe that this
sudden activity on the part Of the British
government is largely due to the prompt
sympathy and support spontaneously
okefed from this country. It acco rdingly
conRratulates the American people ON hav-
ing secured for the sufferers in Ireland SUBJ
stantial hope Of relief without the expendi-
ture Of dollar.
1T has also been represented by the Wis

an interfering element in Irish politics il
aid In any shape should be sent to Ireland
BY any charitable agency before the present
resources Of the imperiled peasants were
exhausted. The situation Of political
parties in Ireland is peculiar and the COM
mittee 10 strenuousIy anxious to avoid Gre
ating new complications by interference Of
any sort. These representations of the ac-
credited envoys Of the Irish people are
therefore entitled to consideration 80 long
90 there is no immediate danger of actual
suffering by famine. When that point is
reached, if it comes, the committee will,
with the full approval of the Irish leaders,
renew it's appeal. The crisis will come
about the close Of the year. and it will then
bo apparent whether the pledges OF tho
British government are to be kept, and
whether the relief measures provided under
its auspices will be Adequate
