to Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish foreign
minister. by the United States charge

In some quarters it is believed that a
settlement will yet be made by means of
some arrangement with private Ameri-

payment, and thus relieving the Otto
man government from admitting re-
sponsibility for the losses occasioned at
the time of the massacres.

dence OF two years in that region, gave
very interesting account of his ex-
periences there. Another member, who

the London Times said at the time:
The Irish are gone, and gone with a
vengeance. Ireland is a beautiful
country, with its rockbound coast buff
feted by the ocean for ages. Who has
not witnessed the Irishman returning
to it after years OF absence on a visit?
When he sees the Irish coast for the
first time what Joy he experiences as he
lifts his hat and, saluting it, says: God
save Ireland"
The system OF education in Ireland,
ne said, compared favorably with that
OF France, Germany and the United
States, and was better than many of the
systems. The people are represented
by thoroughly equipped members OF
parliament. He found there a new
order OF literature. Its newspapers are
we'll prepared and edited, and give the
latest news from all parts of the world.
The patriotic spirit among the young
men is as bright as it was among their
fathers who fought for the independ-
ence of Ireland, and if the opportunity
was given them would gladly take to
the sword and the rifle to accomplish
the freedom OF their native land, love
for which can never be extinguished.
If there is any man in the United
States who can hold up his head and
be proud of the service of his people to
this country when its independence was
in danger, it is the Irishman. Every
battlefield is saturated with the blood OF
the Irish soldiers. The bravery of the
Irish regiments in South Africa was re-
ferred to, and he called attention to the
dispatches in the evening paper an
rouncing that the United Kingdom was
wearing the green to-day. 1T is

England for the first time in many
years, has consented to send her queen
over to Ireland 1t is my duty to say
to you that the Irish people are as
ready as ever to sacrifice the lives of
their sons and daughters for their re-
ligion and missionary work. We have
been deprived OF Office in this country
by an intolerablc party, notwithstand-
ing that we are taxpayers, but the time
has gone past and hope never to re-
turn. The time has come when we love

States and prophesies long continu-

States and prophesies long continu-
ance of the war. Mr. White says:
with regard to the contention that
the United States, though willing to
use its friendly Offices, cannot inter-
vene, unless requested to do so by both
bclligerents, it may be argued that if
the two combatants jointly desire peace
they can dispense with the services OF a
mediator and settle the matter between
themselves. To remain passive until
such a contingency arises, and then Of
fer to mediate, would be cheap and
tawdry act OF benevolence. The essence
OF mediation is that friendly neutral
should act spontaneously and on its
own initiative.
"The end of the war is not yet in
sight The defensive campaign is like
ly to be less dramatic than the events
OF the last few months, but it will be
protracted and wearisome even to the
cosmopolitan fnanciers who are so
largely responsible for the whole TRACE
dy. Events involving prompt action
may easily happen in other quarters OF
the world, where the interests of Great
Britain are far more vulnerable and i'm
portant than the issues in South Africa,
while the shameful inaptitude which
brought about this unnecessary war
must daily become clearer and clearer
to Englishmen, in spite of all the soph-
istry of adroit debaters."

Alexander R. Mcdonald died shortly
after o'clock Saturday afternoon at
his home in the Metropolitan block.
He was about 80 years of age and dur
ing his many years residence in this
city made large. number of friends
who will mourn his death. The de-
ceased leaves wife and four children,
Mrs. Edward Dunden, Miss Mary Nc
Donald, Miss Belle Mcdonald and
Duncan Mcdonald The remains were
taken to Bridgend, Ont, Sunday even
ing for burial. The funeral was from
the cathedral.
This year the program OF music for
Easter Sunday at the German Catholic
church will be something entirely new
to most music-loving people in Duluth.
Mercandant's "Mass in B Flat" will be
sung by the full choir and assisted by
several we'll known soloists. AS this is
a splendid opportunity for singers who
are not acquainted with the score men,
toned, they are hereby offered the op-
portunity to take part in the program.
Those who wish to do so may inform
E. P. Kreimer, director. Rehearsals
will be in the church, Sundays and
Wednesdays, at $3.50 p. M, Third ave-
nue east and Second street.
A very successful and enjoyable en-
tertainment was given on Friday even
ing of last week at St. Clements hall,
Twenty-frst avenue west. A drama in
two acts, entitled Among the Break
ers," was presented by St. Clements
Dramatic club, and was enthusiastically
received by the large audience that
filled the hall to its utmost capacity.
Every character was we'll sustained and
the participants in the play covered
themselves with glory. The many and
enthusiastic manifestations of applause
and the frequent outbursts of merri-
ment during the enactment of the popu-
lar drama demonstrated the high appre-
citation the audience entertained of the
successful efforts of the "dramatis per-
sonae."
A very interesting lecture was deliv-
cred by Rev. M. Delaney, of West ST.
perior. The speaker referred in glow
ing terms to the character Of st. Pat
rick, his indomitable zeal for souls, his
unquenchable desire for knowledge, and
the extraordinary work accomplished
by him among the early pagan Irish.
The McGolrick club was treated to a
surprise at the last meeting last week.
The subject for the evening was
French Art" and as the bishop has
numerous pictures by French artists,
the club members were invited to meet
at his residence instead of the club
rooms. Papers on Millet, Reynaut
and the sculptor Rude were read by the
leader, Mrs. Cody, one on Bougerean
by Miss Schneider, and on Bonheur by
Mrs. Stack. Mrs. Shields gave paper
on Current Events and scripture was
read by Miss Killown. French archi-
lecture and the Louvre was taken up
last Tuesday evening under the leader
ship of Mrs. Turge.
