FRAUDS IN PARLIAMENTARY ELEC-
TIONS IN DUBLIN.
THE VOTING REGISTER PADDED:
GOVERNMENT CALLED UPON TO
PROSECUTE.
Many High Officials Have Written
Letters to the Press DenOuncing
the Fraudulent ReEistra-
tion-wiII Have Far
Reaching Effect.

New York, JAN 9.-A dispatch to the
World from Dublin says: The parliameE-
tary elections now proceeding in ST.
Stephens Green division of Dublin have
suddenly developed Il sensational feature
a vacancy arose through the appoint
ment of sitting member, William KEN
ny, TO a tudgeship in the supreme court.
The government delayed this appoint
ment until the new year so it could nave
the advantage of fighting the election on
the new voting register, which is more Ia
vcrable 10 them than was that of las
year. Now 1t has been discovered tnat
the register has been stuffed with bogus
votes under the lodger franchise. The
sens of seven judges of the supreme court;
OF high government officials and of other
leading unionists. have been fraudulenly
put on the register IN considerable numbers
under the pretense that they were dodgers
paying rent OF from 50 TO So weekly for
rooms In their fathers house.
The scandal has become SO great that
several judges and other high officials
have written TO the press that their vot-
ing claims were made without their own
or their sons knowledge and were IN fact
forgeries.
Every day fresh patches of names are
unearthed. and demand Is now being
powerfully urged on the government TO
prosecute for conspiracy the unionist
agents in Dublin who are responsible for
preferring these bogus claims.
The unionist government, Of course, is
trying TO ignore its duty in the matter.
hut the frauds have attracted such wide
spread attention it is doubtful if the gov
ernment can afford to do so.
The candidates in the present election
are James Campbell. uniorist. a lawyer.
and Count Plunkett, Parnellite, who is
being supported by the Dillonites. Under
these circumstances the contest Is eX-
pected to be close and If Count Plunkett
succeeds In wrestling this seat from the
unionists ii cannot fail to work power
fully for unity among all Irish Nation
alists.
The movement for celebrating the '9s
centenary is spreading 10 every part of
Ireland and 1t is being warmly support
ed. Extensive preparations are being made
at Westport, County Mayo. to welcome
visitors from the United States. includ-
iT.g celebrations on the sites of several
historic events connected with the rebellion
of l,9S and excursions amid the magnif-
cent scenery of Clew Bay and the sur
rounding islands.
Invitations have been addressed already
TO the centennial associations in New York,
Boston and Chicago. These celebrations
VIII be conducted without regard to sec
tional differences.

BRITISH FAILURE IN INDIA.
Three Thousand Lives Lost and Gross
Mismanagement of English CAM
paign Charged.

London. Jan. 9-The announcement that
r~ore than 5000 lives have been lost on the
English side in the warfare against the
insurgent tribesmen of the Indian frontier.
has aroused great deal Of popular feeling.
as it Is felt that there is nothing what
soever to show for this loss OF life, and
that the entire campaign has been a la
mentable failure. which has served to di-
minish the prestige Of English arms in
the Orient, and to encourage the natives to
fight against those whose mastery they
have accepted in the belief that they were
invincible.
The failure Of the campaign. which leaves
the insurgents just about the same as when
1t began, is due entirely to the gross mis-
management of the senior members of the
staff. and 1t Is no secret that Sir William
Lockhart. the newly appointed Indian COM
mander-in-chief, has hastened to London
with the object of securing the riddance of
q number of field officers and staff officers
who have shown themselves as utterly un-
fitted for campaigning.
