Recent Proclamation of the Crimes

DespOt and Lie.

DUBLIN, Sept. Sat the public meeting
held here to-day, convened by the lord

cent proclamation of the crimes act in five
Irish counties, 1t was resolved to hold a
demonstration in Phoenix Park, Sept. IA.
The voting of this resolution was received
with shouts of I'VE shall be bludgeoned as

John Redmond, leader of the Irish party
in the House of Commons and chairman
OF the United Irish League, denounced the
proclamation of the crimes act as a gross
and wicked outrage, isused at the within of
a despot and gang of absentee landlords.
THAT proclamation is a lie," said Mr.. Red
mond. I'm the whole civilized world there
Is city so free from crime is Dublin"
The only way TO meet this proclamation,
he said, was TO make the political situation
in Ireland too hot for these men. Let them
create fierce agitation and Dublin will rise
up as one man TO join the United Irish
League and make IL as powerful and men
acing 10 British misrule as the Land
League was twenty years ago.
John Dillon, Nationalist member of the
House of Commons, approved the proposals
made by Mr.. Redmond. He described the
proclamation audacity and ruffianism,
and declared there was more crime i'm Bel
fast in one month than in Dublin in five
years, but would Belfast be proclaimed, he
asked Mr.. Dillon, said George Wyndham,
chief secretary for Ireland, was slowly de-
scending the path which had led many of
his predecessors to perdition. He declared
the proclamation would end in favor of
that funkeyism which in Dublin and Cork
had almost succeeded In prostituting and
debasing Ireland's nationality and man.

DIG TROLLEY SCHEME.
Line Proposed from Indianapolis to
Louisville, Ky.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
COLUMBUS, Ind, Sept. 5.-Another cleo
trio line Is projected for this county. To-
day Albert III. Miller. Morton Hall and Will
liam Daugherty petitioned the Bartholomew
County Commissioners for a franchise
granting them a right of way for an inter-
urban road from Columbus to the southern
boundary Of Bartholomew county. The
franchise will in all probability be granted.
For a number of days several strangers
who avoided public attention have been at
work in this and adjoining counties, and 1t
is now said that they have been quietly
securing the right of way from land owners.
Just who the promoters of the scheme are
is not known, but ii is learned through the
commissioners that Louisville capitalists
are behind the enterprise. This road, If
built, will connect with the Indianapolis,
Greenwood and Franklin line, which is now
being extended to this city. The belief is
that an electric line from Indianapolis to
Louisville, practically parallelipg the Penn
sylvanias steam line, is a near possibility.
Another interurban line is one projected
from here to West Baden via Seymour, and
connecting with Inc Irwin interurban here.
