ment intended TO do.
i'The present representation OF Ire
land is" he said IAN abuse and scam
dali no alteration could be made ex-
cept In immediate anticipation Of Il

templatIng that. But when we get

on Great Britain by the Beers, he saiu
the government acknowledged that It

coming" said the colonial secretary.
when measures Of greater severity
may be necessary and II that time
comes we can find presidents for any
thing We do, In the actions Of those
nations who now criticize our barbar-
