on the road at which the robbery
WAS perpetrated. The thieves entered
by smashing in the rear door with a
Sledee hammer Every box III the car
was broken open, even those VI hose con-
tents was untouched. Ali boxes that
had evidently contain ed vauahles were
emptied. The completeness of the
work showed delibeIation in It's accom-

LONDON, Jan. l0.-Mr Gladstone has
written a letter TO Mr.. Furness, the
Liberal candidate for Hartlepool, to
succeed the late Thomas Richardson.
Mr.. Gladstone says:
The Irish Parliamentary party has vin-
dicated itself by putting an end to the
leadership OF Mr. ParnelI. and has left us
prepared to pursue as heretofore, our duty
in denonncing unequal laws and the obi
us system Of coercion adopted by the gov
ernmcnt as a permanent law. The Lib
eral gains of seats in the House
of Commons constantly repeated dur
ing the last four years meant
meant that the party has dcclaIed thai 4
union has for the first time been effected
between the British and Irish. and shows
the people aim to close the controversy our
opponents seek to indefinitely prolOng az
the cost Of the national reputation, and OF
imperial treasure and amid ineXtlnguish-
able dlscord. The people of Ireland have
put their trust III the people of Great Bri-
tain to deliver them from bad laws
made worse by harsh. insulting admiElS-
tratiOn. 1t rests on each constituency as
the occasion offers for us to show our Sis
ter nation that her confidence is not re-
posed IN uain. The views of the Liberals
on general legislation were expressed at a
recent meeting of the federation. The
show that the party long for
the time when the Irish ques-
ton Will be settled and when
fuller opportunity VIII be afforded to 9th
er questions. Still the time Will come. and
we ought TO supply a sample OF our practi-
cal intentions by bill clearing away OBJ
stacleS hnderirg qualified voters from
coming to register and limiting on the reg
ister every single citizen to single Vote.
