Captain Piper noted that some of the police
men who answered the call for reserves yester-
day had long night sticks. while others had only
"billies." He intends to have a regulation in
force soon by which the police answering the
call at any hour of the day night will be
prepared for business with the most effective
club. Some of the captains probably will be
called TO the Central Office to-day to explain
why they their sergeants did not answer the

men in the square. He thought that probably

CANCELLATION IN IRELAND.
SPEECHES BY THE EARL OF DUDLEY AND
MR. REDMOND ATTRACT ATTENTION.
H. G. SQUIERS.
United States Minister TO Cuba

SPEECHES BY THE EARL OF DUDLEY AND
MR.. REDMOND ATTRACT ATTENTION.
London, Nov. 24-speeches which were de
livered to-day by the Earl OF Dudley the new
Lord Lieutenant for Ireland, and by John Red
mond. the Irish leader, have aroused much com
ment as striking a more hopeful note of con-
ciliation in the Irish question.
The Earl Of Dudley. accompanied by the
countess. making official visit 10 Bel
fast and in reply to the speeches delivered at
his reception ne declared that he had come 10
ireland with the same spirit of impartial in
qury that animated Mr.. Chamberlain in going
to South Africa. The Irish Viceroy proceed
ing then to deal with the land question as the
crux of the Irish problem. suggested that a
sort Of round table conference of representa-
tives Of the landlords, tenants and other in
terests in Ireland should be held. to endeavor 10
arrive at a mutual understanding and possibly
some scheme for the good OF Ireland and the
increased happiness Of her people
While Lord Dudley speaking at B-lfast
John Redmond was making an equally concili-
tory speech at a demonstration of the London
branches OF the Irish League at the suburb
OF Bermondsey He intensely gratihed he
said to find on returning from the United States
that the political situation In Ireland more
hopeful than he had known it for twenty-five
years While all rumors of Irish deals" with
the government were untrue, the political stua-
ton in Ireland had undergone an extraordinary
and radical change, and he believed that no
English minister since the union had had such
q chance as the Irish Secretary, George Wynd-
ham. now had. The time had arrived. as il did
in every struggle. when the comba tants were
grown tired of the contest, and were taking
counsel as to whether it could not be brought
to a satisfactory end.
For the first time in Irish history the majority
OF the landlords speaking words of good
sense Cancellation and reason The tenants
were united. and a moderate and quite limited
use Of the imperial credit would enable a settle
ment Of the land question to be brought about.
At the same time concluded Mr. Redmond this
would not affect the aspirations Of the Irish
people for home rule. and he warned the gov
ernment that If last sessions Land bill were
reintroduced the Irish members would fight
it line by line"
The Daily News" in connection with the
speech made by the Earl of Dudley, publishes
a report that the government intends 10 deal
with the relations of Dublin Castle to the Irish
administration and that 1t is considering a
project which is not dissimilar to Colonial Sec
retary Chamberains original plan of national
councils.

TRICT ATTORNEY EXPLAINED AT
THE WHITE HOUSE.

Washington, Nov. 24-The following state
rnent was given out at the White House this
afternoon:
On his return to Washington the President
found that some misapprehension existed as to
the reappointment of the United States Attorney
for Delaware, and authorized the following
statement regarding it:
Mr. Byrne was originally appointed United
States Attorney for Delaware by President Nc
Kinley. President Roosevelt knew him person
ally. In the opinion OF the President, he had
rendered excellent service for the public good
in more than one direction and he had been
stanch supporter of the President when he ran
for Governor and afterward. He reported
by the Department of Justice a fit and COM
petent district attorney and the President had
entire confidence in his ability and integrity.
He accepted the nomination for Congress. Other
district attorneys and marshals had accepted
such nominations without being requested to re-
sign, but in view Of the factiOnal fight in Della
ware the President thought that Mr.. Byrne
should resign, which he accordingly did. When
the election was over the President reappointed
him without having given him the slightest pre-
vious indication that such was his intention. He
would have been reappointed without regard 10
the circumstances under which he ran or the
faction with which he allied"

WHY Violate the Law t?

Although the law forbids the kill
ing ef partridges before the first OF
November, many sportsmen are shoot
ing these birds right along in de-
fance of law. There in no true sport
in shooting young partridges. Most
any boy can kill them with a rock or
stick. Wait until they are fully
grown before opening tie sport
There is another evil practice that
We would call attention to at this
time and that is killing fish with
dynamite. Both of these are unlaw'
full acts and should be stopped even
if an appeal to the law has to be
made to stop them.
