DUBLIN.
Some OF the Irish papers state that it
is anticipated that all the Irish militia
battalions ordered to be embodied, for
permanent service, during the Boer war
will be located in Ireland, which would
be a radical departure from the usual
war office methods. Plenty OF barrack
accommodation is available for militia
units at Dublin, Belfast, the Curragll.
Muilingar, Kinsale, Kilkenny and Fer
nloy, and there is absolutely no neces-
sity Tor sending Irish corps to stations
i'll England, as, in such event, an equiv
a1ent number OF English corps will have
to be brought over, to maintain the
strength OF the Irish command. But
this is what is usually done, and the rule
will probably be adhered to.

GALWAY.
On Nov 9 the Most Rev. Bishop OF
Galway attended at the Catholic Semi
nary, Nuns Island, to distribute the
prizes won by the pupils at the Inter
mediate Examinations. The seminary is
conducted by the Brothers OF the Order
OF St. Patrick, and the pupils were very
successful at the intermediate Examina-
tons. There was large attendance OF
the citizens and clergy. In the course OF
his address the bishop expressed his par
ticular pleasure at the progress made by
the boys in Irish, and said he hoped that
progress would be maintained and ex-
tended. But, he said, the educational
facilities, to which the Irish people were
entitled, were withheld from them BY
their rulers; and that unfortunate con-
dition was largely owing to the want OF
united Irish party, under honest and
unselfsh leaders, to fight their battles,
now, as they had been fought in the
past. In this respect, the bishop said
chat Galway was practically disfran-
shised: But the struggle must be kept
p; and, therefore, he said, let them
do their part in Galway, and every true
| freshman would applaud their action,
| he world over.
