WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O-Genera,
fltzhugh Lee, consul general to China
had a long consultation with tho
president at the White House.
General Lee carefully reviewed the
situation in Cuba and explainod q
length all the points upon which the
president asked for information
General Lee gave his views very freely
TO the president, but after the inter-
view was reticent about the nature Of
the report he had made.
1t is evident, however, the presi.
dent is deeply impressed with the
critical character Of the situation as
described by General Lee, as it is un-
derstood he strongly urged Lee to re-.
tain his Office at least for the present.
and to return to Havana at his earl
lest convenience.
General Lee left here for Coyington,
Va, but before his departure said he
would return to Cuba as soon as he
had arranged his private affairs.

oy The Associated Press. THE extent
OF the distress threatened Ireland
seems to depend largely through
winch pdrty's eyes II is viewed. The
council of the national federation has
decided that the country is on the
Drink of widespread calamity, and
calls upon Messrs. Dillon and Harrinp-
TO convoke a meeting of the Irish
members of parliament for the pur-
pose of requisitloning Mr.. Balfour. the
government leader in the commons,t to
call an autumn session Of parliament.
TO devise relief measures and To mass
bill reducing rents in Ireland in
proportion to the loss incurred by the
tenants, owing to the wholesale de-
struction of their crops.
On the other hand, the Dublin Ex-
press says the cry Of famine is only a
continuation of the party war cry
which is raised every year that the
unionists are in office, and adds:
Judging from the past, we may
hope that much of the crops doomed
to destruction by the prophets Of
evil will be rescued and that the gen.
erafyield will be much larger than
expected"
The Daily Independent regards the
suggestion that the Duchess of York
will shortly appeal for funds In behalf
Of the Irish who are threatened with
famine as an insult, and says:
"If the country was ten times as
badly off as it is likely to be. it would
resent any charitable appeal to the
The ! Independent emphatically
denies that Ireland will suffer acute
distress.

CHAPTER v.


Mayor Roundtree lived in q large
two-storied bric:. house standing back
a hundred yards from the street, in ex-
tensive grounds. It was in the suburbs
of the city, and at the end of one of the
electric car lines.
When the mayor went home that
afternoon, about six o'clock. he found
his family sitting on the front veranda
waiting for his return. The group con-
sisted of his son Marion, a young man
Just of age, his married daughter,
Lillian, her husband, Fred Walters, and
Mrs. Roundtree.
"Tall1ing about the murder, know"
said the mayor, as he came up the
steps.
1--WE are concerned about your offer
ing that reward, DEAR" Mrs. Round
tree replied. 'If had been downtown
i should have begged you not to do it.
The murderer is evidently of unsound
mind, and the reward may direct his
attention to you. You know he says"
"Mamma's only nervous" interrupted
Lillian. "She hasn't talked of q thing
all day except the isolation of our house
,snd how easy it would be for creature
.of. that kind to make us: his victims"
a:s:Pshaw! that's all nonsense" exc
claimed the mayor, taking the seat va
