 ? DUBLIN. June 1S.:4z-A question which . has. exercised: the. minds of all classes of people: in :ireland:: for the past few
 years has. at last been. satisfactorily
 solved. I: refer 10 the subject of the
 aeeeleratton of" the inarl services be-
 tween. Dublin and:London. It was most
 gallinS. and. injurious to business in
 every part of Ireland, not only that the
 morning mail trains should leave both
 Dublin and London: at unearthly hours,
 but that the,land journey each way be-
 tween. Hdlyhead and Huston should be
 accomplished at. a much slower rate
 or travelling than any similar journey
 between any other two points in Great
 Britain For years all Irish parties
 have combined in urging on the Gov
 ernment reform in both respects, but
 in vain. The Postoffice Department
 threw. the blame on the London and Northwestern Railway Company-the only railway that rlins7 to Hoiyhead,
 the Welsh port for :, DubHn-and the
 company in its. turn threw back the
 blame on. the, pOstoffice. This game of shlttleeoek was played and things gen.
 erallys drifted~ tilE last winter; when a committee of :.. investigation was ap-. pointed 'by.1he Government. to inquire into the whole affair The members. of this .conimfttee. we're Patrick.

ATnericans' in such: matters; as we: are. in so many that all: this will do. very "well-at least for 8 while. .< =, : Talking: of mall service. reminds inc that this week .. the. ~runor has got abroad that: the. American line service to ;Southanp which has been dis co1itinued since the war: :began is not: likely to be resumed. What foundation yond the fact that the British Postal Department Is adding to the staff which has to do with .the:sorting of the American mails and that there is a regular plot on. foot..for carrying. all those mails direct to Liverpool and leaving :Queenstown- severely alone. This latter design has long been fa- vorite object with those who look to the interests of England alone. and an attempt may perhaps, be made to
 carry it out But, if so, a pretty row will be made in Ireland which would certainly be injured ito an extent out of all proportion to the benefit which would accrue. to: the general interests of the United Kingdom.
 The '9S: celebrations continue. Last
 Sunday very large and impressive demonstration took place. in Dublin in > >commemoration. of Lord: Edward Fitz- gerald. and d. similar. demonstration
 took place In Kildare also in honor of
 the patriot Geraldine. who sacrificed
 his. life a hundred; years. ago for the freedom of Treland.:e .The demonstration . in: Dublin culninated in the unveiling
