Vincent Scully On His Defeat-A Proclama-
ton That Causes Excitement.
DUBLIN, Dec 29.-Mr. Vincent Scully, who
was recently defeated by Sir John Pope Hem
messy in the contest for North Kilkenny's seat
in parliament, has written letter to the
Freerndn's Journal in which he saws that the
attitude of the Irish bishops before and dur
ing the election referred to only shows that Mr..
Parnell committed a private vice" and al
lowed judgment by default to be delivered
against him and therefore has been pronounced
to be no longer eligible to position Of public
trust.
Continuing, Mr.. Scully says that the Irish
struggle is essentially a political and not a
moral one struggle for leave for the Irish to
manage Irish affairs after their own fashion.
The struggle is one of pounds shillings and
pence and not of the sacraments.
STIRRED Up BY A PROCLAMATION.
Athlone, Roscommon and Westhmeth are
being excited by a proclamation placarded in
all prominent places. It states that
port their independence, and that
tn, Kilkenny reverse is trumpet
call for you to close your ranks and make last
supreme fight for. the cause" 1t adds that ''the
Fatherland is threatened by calamity surpass-
the flag of independence on the vague promise
OF British statesman. Irish history teens
with disasters resulting from reliance placed
upon English promises
The proclamation, continuing, asks the
people to sustain the tried policy
adding that with the people Of ireland and
America united behind it it should sustain
the leader who made that policy and
led you to victory until now. The
issue between the dependent party was
as to whether the people should choose
our own leader and party or as to whether thew
should become merely part of the English
liberals and accept leader dictated by the
English leaders. That would not be
home rule. We want real home
rule - the home rule for which
Emmett and other patriots gave their noble
lives. We were advancing to victory under a
good leader. Support him and Irelands cause
forever. God save Ireland"

LONDON, Dec. 29.-Gen. Booth, in a comunni-

In view of the serious obligations have pub

with my own ideas. l very highly esteemed
Mr.. Smith and this extract from his letter
shows no unfriendliness."
Here he quotes Commissioner Smith: ''You
need have no alarm regarding my intentions.
contemplate no opposition to you. l just as
earnestly as ever agree as to the end desired.
We differ rs to methods. You may reckon on
any outside assistance l can give"
Gen. Booth, continuing, says; "a deed Of
trust for the funds will be executed in few
days. Nothing is yet done because the neces-
sary funds are only now assured"
Gen. Booth adds that he hopes to answer

A Nefarious Divorce Traffic.

The efforts of the United Hebrew charities to
break up the nefarious divorce traffic carried
on in New York by the so-called ''rabbis''
yielded their first fruits yesterday. Rabbi
s. M. Siskind, who has undoubtedly issued
more of these fraudulent divorces than any one
in the business. was arrested yesterday after
noon charge with obtaining money under false
pretences. He was released on furnishing
bail. Sisbinds methods have been thor
oughly investigated and the number of divorces
which he has granted in the past ten years is
simply appalling. They run up to thirty or forty
years. for which he received all the way from
$40 to $50 each. In most cases the parties
divorced have remarked, so that number of
Russian and Polish Hebrews indictable for big
amy must be astonishingly large.
