which he was chairman. lie spoke hope
fully regarding the prospects Of lessla-
ton which he thought would end the Diff
ficulttes In ireland. Lord Runraven said:

OF the terms Of the report, will insure
final settlement and remove the cause
OF friction in Ireland which Is reacting
unfavorable not only in Great Britain,
but throughout the Empire, and on our
kindred in the United States"
Lord Dunraven replied to the adverse
criticism of the report. saying that the
conferees could not lay down a specific
formula TO be adopted. They were obliged
TO deal with the matter on the broadcast
lines. considering both the Interests Of
the nation and those Of the individu al
landlords and tenants. He did not think
that the government would be able to
specify strict formula. which. II at

period. His S1ordship concluded by say

HIS BIRTHDAY
WAS OBSERVED.
Memory Of George Washing.
ton Was Celebrated Most
Generally.

Patriotism was rampant in Richmond
yesterday. and the national day of the
Father Of His Country was remembered
by young and old America alike.
The day was. probably more unusually
celebrated than upon any former occa-
sion In recent years. In addition to the
closing OF Federal, State, and municipal
offices. many manufactu turing concerns and
other business firms closed down. foNFai
whole and part Of the day. The banks
and the exchanges did no business, and
the clubs had open house.
Last night many OF the secret orders
held smokers and receptions In comment
moration OF that day. The most elaborate
of these entertainments was that given
by the Daughters OF Liberty at7Corcoran
Hail. where an oyster supper was served.
The Blues paraded in the afternoon and
at night had an entertainment at their
armory. A salute was given the WASH
ipgton Monument in Capitol Square. and
the handsome body of soldiers marched
through tho principal streets, where they
Were greeted by crowds Of people on holi-
day parade.
On Main Street very little business was
lone, but Broad Street resembled nothing
less than holiday appearance,
Many private parties were given at
which the many stories concerning the
great Washington wore related. The pa
trlotlo societies celebrated In their usual
way, and the Richmond Grays Associa-
