ice of Dublin became paralyzed at
about 10 minutes to 10 o'clock The
cars proceeding into the city, and from
it, stopped at the points which they had
reached at the moment, and remained
stationary, and people proceeding to
business had to foot it, till about I
o'clock, when the trans began to run
About q o'clock the cars over the en-
tire system again came to standstill,
and remained so for several hours.
The whole system, with the exception OF
the Clontarf section, was paralyzed I'M
til about 7 o'clock, when traffic was

DOWN.
The announcement has been made, in
the Tory-Unionist Press, that "the
Newry District Orange Lodge, num-
bering over 700 members, have unani-
mously adopted memorial to the Sec
rotary of state for war, asking permits
sion to form volunteer corps" But
there is Stirring" attached to the leg
of the offer. The Loyal" Newry vol
unteers are only to be used for "home
service" and not to be required to ex-
pose their precious anaton1ies to the
dangers of impact with Boer bullets.
The proposition forcibly recalls the pc
culiar character and composition of the
Orange yeomanry of the period pre-
ceding the Instruction of 17oS,-who
as the English viceroy of the period felt
compelled to declare, were formidable
only to their unarmed and peacefully
inclined neighbors."

over what this council after. due deliber-
alton, thought was quite sufficient, and
in granting him f4o over our decision

decision in the matter, and resolve by
every means at our disposal to resist
it."
