Lively Speeches.


Other speeches followed. Members slipped
away for mouthful of dinner and then
came back again. In the peers gallery sat
the sirdar listening attentively Sir Will
frid Lawson declared that he was never
likely in his life to hear again SO long a
debate on body-snatching. Lord Kitchener
was to get 10000. Ten thousand men had
been killed in the Soudan. That meant he
got f3 per dead man. A fiery, impa ssioned
speech, hoarsely vehement at one moment.

latory, pleading, came from John Dillon
The house was now full again. a little
heated and noisy, and his scathing vituper-
alton aroused yells and protest. How
outraged the places in Jerusalem that
Christians revered? The Mohammedans
put US to shame Nothing could have been
more dramatic than this long, dark, dour
man standing in the middle of the tightly
packed benches, and, with appraised arm,
protesting in the name of Christianity
against what had been done in Africa.
Another Irishman of another type fol-
lowed. This was Colonel Saunderson. There
is nothing dour and Celtic about him. He
is rollicking and invariably witty. He
chaffed his fellow Hibernians on the other
side of the house on the two heroes they
had recently taken to admiring. One was
the mahdi; the other was Wolf Tone. The
mahdi hated the English; so did Wolf Tone,
and he also was generally drunk.

The members of the North Dakota
Press assocla ton rendezvoused at the
Windsor yesterday and left at sos last
evening in the two special Pullmans,
Livingston and National Park, over the
Burlington for a two weeks outing in
Florida and New Orleans. The party
was plentifully supplied with palm
leaf fans and cracked ice, and some
of the members will probably visit
Havana during the trip. Maj. Edwards,
of the Fargo Forum, did not go.
Last year the annual outing was
omitted, but two years ago the asso-
citation visited Galveston, Tex. on a
flying trip, and W. L. Straub, of the
Grand Forks Herald, who is chairman
of the executive, became so enamored
of the South that he has been winter
ing in Florida, and 1t was at his sug-
the destination of the party. Mr..
Straub was placed in charge of the
arrangements.
The editors and their wives began
to arrive in st. Paul Saturday night,
and the last straggler came in yester-
day afternoon. There was no recep-
ton rendered, but most of the party
took advantage Of the opportunity to
attend church. Others were taken out

gled for possession of the type, and
both had been universally elected as
the raconteurs Of the trip. John W.

is nearly seven feet tall, hod-nobbed
with H. c. Plumley, of the Fargo FO-

solo singer in the association. c. J.
