pointed out that one of the deep
among the Christians. 1t was not the
Turk alone-deep as his guilt undoubt-
eddy was-who was responsible for the
miserable conditions 1t would be folly
to forget that the Christians commit
ted atrocities on Christians. The gov

the best policy was to support the
Austro- Russian endeavors to improve

The most interesting portion Of the
speech to America deals with Ireland.
It says:
1.-The warm expressions Of good will
with which I was everywhere re-
ceived greatly touched me. My visit
enabled me to realize how much was
being attempted to improve the hous-
Ing accommodation for the working
population. stimulate commercial &C
tivity, advance the methods Of agricul-
lure. develop technical education and
provide for the sick and innrm. Much
remains to be done, but 1t was with
feelings of the deepest qualification
that noticed signs of increasing con-
cord among all classes of Ireland. pre-
saying, as l hope, new era Of united
efforts for the general welfare"
Referring to the Irish land bill, the
speech says 1t offers Inducements tG
the land owners to continue their resi-
dence among their countrymen and
provides facilities for improving the
conditions of life In the poorer dis
tricts of the West. 1t adds:
This reform. by removing the an.
cient causes Of social dissension, will.
heartily trust. conduce to the common
benefit Of my Irish subjects"

triumph of genius.
That Is to say, instead of bringing
in monkeys into society gatherings
this arbiter elegantinrurs. has hit upon
the happy device of impersonating
not monkey but dog in his proper
person. A sensation has been created
The scene OF this impersonation was
the deck of a steamboat which was
bearing away from the Vanderbilt
wedding some scores of guests at that
ceremony. There was much gayety.
Young men climbed steam pipes and
stanchlons while young women pelted
them with American beauty roses at
$I5 per dozen. Joy was uncontined.

triumphs. He merely awaited his OPP

he would send men out today to patrol

Last week water was turned into the

Mayor Wright takes the position
that the water belongs to the city
