Reports Indicate That There VIII
Be Destitution Along the West
and Southwest Seaboards.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Sept. 1s.-A special
to the World from London says: Reports
from Ireland are to the effect that owing
to slight improvement in the weather
during a few days early this week some
thing was done toward saving the oat
crop in those districts where it had not
been already destroyed by rain; but pota-
toes are gone beyond retrievaI and no ap-
preciable hope of aYerting acute distress
over large part of the country and actual
famine along the west and southwest sea-
boards exists. Public bodies throughout
Ireland have passed resolutions imploring
the Government to take timely steps to
establish relief work, and Dillon has sum-
moned a special meeting of the Irish
National Federation to secure support
from all sections of Irish representatives
for demand for the early assem- blage OF
Parliament to adopt measures to cope
with tbs disastrous situation. The Gov
eminent has given no sign of hearkening
to the warming OF the crisis rising from all
quarters ana owing to the effects of dis
organization In the Nationalist ranks an
agitation to force the Governments hand
seems impossible.
Thus the plight of the poYerty-stricken
peasantry is grievous in the extreme. 1t
has always been the policy of Dublin
Castle to remain deaf to the wants OF the
Irish people till either by violent agita-
ton or by criticism of other countries the
government is compelled to act,

ST. JOHNS, N. F.. Sept. 1s.-During the

were picked up by the coast steamer Grand

The Rhodera, owing to a strong current,

that the second steamer which went

POVERTY IN IRELAND.
Wretched Condition Revealed In a
Letter From a Dublin Lawyer
to His Brother.


CHICAGO. HI, Sept. I8-A New York
special say: A private letter bearing upon
the much disputed condition at present
existing in Ireland was to-day shown a
correspondent by James Kavanagh, the
eminent Dublin lawyer, who has been in
this city for the past two weeks, prior to
his departure for the West, where he has
been called TO look into some important
legal matters. The letter was from Mr..
Kavanagh's brother and may be taken as
reliable.
The conditions here" he says, writing
from Dublin, 'tare as bad as they we'll can
be. 1t is only necessary for me to tell you
that thev are worse than usual for you to
realize the state of the poor. l fear our
friends over IN the country where you are
do not conceive one 1.-THE of the misery
that is existing here.
There Is not a street leading out of
Dublin that is not lined with beggars,
who from very weakness are forced to sit
upon the ground and solicit aims. The
only thing that keeps the unfortunate
.wretches from the city limits is the knowl-
edge that they would be arrested, though
it always has been a mystery to me why
this should be a deterrent. I am sure that
a prison would be like palace to many of
them.
In the country districts it is even
worse, and from reports even more suffer
ing must come before relief shows its face.
The crops, as some of the statisticisns say,
nave not been a failure, but they have
been ruined by constant and heavy rains,
so the result is the same. This sort of
quibbling is heard every day and is re-
sorted to to blind the eyes of foreign ma
lions 10 the real state of things.
eli you are invited to speak on the sub.
iect for Gods sake tell the truth and let
the people know what the misery and
wretched suffering of the Door on this
little island really is. While you are in
America you might dlsabuse the pubic
mind over there that Irishmen are on the
verge of an uprising. The time is not ripe
and will not De in this generation. There
is too much poverty among the oppressed
and too much power among the oppress-
ors"

heart is in the right place, whatever his
faults are, and 1 am confident that they
will say SO at the polls. I may not get
elected. but I'll get enough votes TO COO K
Mr.. Quincy's goose, and that IS all want.
Well see who's the best man, John L. or
Josiah-the dude or the big fellow. We'll
see who has the most friends, who is
really first in the hearts of the people, the
man VINO has blue blood in his veins or
the man who has licked the cham pions of
two worlds. And then if l get elected
we'll see who II make the best Mayor-the

and makes them feel that they must go
along the best they can, without regard 10
the law of right and wrong. Make them
understand that the city and the Mayor
take an interest in them and are trying to
make life happy and healthy for them.
That's the way to do it.
Live and let live l don't care who

executive. am willing to admit, how
ever, that there was considerable provoca-

to preserve order, but they were not iusti-

Alaska unless he knows something about
mining and about gold. It's all foolish
ness 10 try to do anything in that line
when you don't know anything about it,
just as ii is in any other line OF life.
1.-THE proper thing for candidate for
Office to do is to declare his principles and
then let the Office that he wants come to
him. That's what l am doing. As far as
speech hmaking oes as qualification for a
candidate for Mayor I'd be all right. Lung
power is the principal thing in an orator
and don't believe that there are many
men with more OF that sort os thing than
myself. Why, often spoke to crowds Of
10000 people in London and only used
