London, Aug. 15.-Parliament closes
today in more lively and spirited man
ner than has been the case with any
session for many years. In the whole
of Parliament the man who has most
bettered himself is Tim" Healy. He
began the session as one Of John Dill
Ions sevcnty-one followers and he ends
it as the leader of his own party and
with about twenty-five followers.
1t is said that the Irish convention
which meets in Dublin on September l
is destined to be a fzzlc. Neither the
Parnellites nor the Healyites will at
tend, SO the whole object of the conven-
ton is thwarted and Mr.. Dillon expects
if the Parnellites and other factions dc
not attend that the latter will be put in
an awkward moral position on the
ground that when reunion of the diff
ferent sections of the Irish party was
attempted they stood out.
In the meantime Ireland is perfectly
tranquil and continues steadily improv-
in. For several years there have been
good harvcsts in Ireland and the peas

to become the ruler of Europe and that
the ancient glories of that mystic island
would be restored Also that theoso-
the proposed American college of oc-
cutism there. The Irish press is evil
IDENTIFY pleased with the idea and some
of the principal papers of Dublin and
elsewhere have thrown open their col
umns for it's discussion.
The crusaders have certainly proven a
surprise. When it was at first announced
that eight Americans were going to in
stitute a crusade which would not stop
until the globe had been circled it was
not received seriously. But what the
party lacks in numbers it makes up in
theosophical strength
Arrived at London the little party en-
gagged the Queens hall and held meet
ing. The women sat on the stage in
flowing white robes and the men III even
ing dress. This was Followed by an
invention called brotherhood supper"

her two sons. it is stated. joined the
theosophists recently. In a few days

ton is to visit every European capitol
