Special TO Times-Repunncan
Dubuque Iowa, June 1.-As a result
of the demands of the business men
and the continued refusal of the street
car company to meet the strikers terms
there appeared on the streets Saturday
morning several buses operated by the
striking street car conductors and mo-
tormen. There are now seven of these
conveyances in operation and While
they only run between Linwood ceme-
terry starting at the corner of Main
and Eighth streets, 1t is the intention
of the strikers to secure about twenty
buses, wagons and carryalls this week
and operate them on all the streets in
the city where the car lines now run.
Stormy weather and the fact that the
public were not well aware that the
strikers intended to operate in this
manner, made the number of passen-
gers carried very small. The fare from
the center of the city to the cemetery
was ten cents on account of the long
haul UP the hill, but when the entire
street car system is covered with these
conveyances the fare will be the same
as 1t is on the cars--five cents.
At meeting OF the strikers last
night 1t was decided to operate in this
manner, altho the union has been con-.
templating this move for some time
Accordingly all arrangements were
made and today there are seven buses
In operation. On the one line that III
being operated the schedule is every
twenty-seven minutes.
II is the intention commencing the
f1rst of the week to put ten minute
schedule In effect on Main street and a
twenty minute service on the Other
lines.

The Rev. Father Kinsella has issued
an urgent appeal on behalf of the Clon-
corey tenants evicted and restored
many Of whom are now in sore distress.
The story of those tenants is familiar
to our readers. Fifty-five of them
were evicted in 1883 and 1889 for non
payment of an impossible rack rent.
Their homes, the creation of their in
dustry, or the inheritance from their
forefathers, were leveled with the
ground. This wanton destruction was
meant to be the outward and visible
sign of the tenants complete and final
severance from the soil. But the an
ticipations of the etictors were not
realized. After ten years Punishment
and more, the tenanEs, two years and
a half ago, were restered-no longer
tenants at will but as simple owners
of the soil they till. Yet was their res
toration incomplete. The homes from
which they had been expelled were, as
has been said, wantonly DESTROYED. It
remained for those, and foremost
amongst them their faithful and Jealous
pastor, Father Kinsella, who had helped
them in the old holdings to help them
also to new holdings; and it is for this

lie to find for him the limited sum
