AS a field for white colonization the

to develop it by attracting Individual
settlers. But the foreign office, while

The objection held in the protec-
torate to syndicates as against private
individuals isl said Maj. PoWell-Cot-
ton, the East African traveller, that
while the former hold huge areas with
no immediate intention Of stocking or
cultivating the land, the same area, II
divided among individual settlers, could
at much earlier period be developed.
Considering the enormous sums which
the British taxpayer has provided Tor
the Uganda railway, it is not SURPRISING
that Sir Charles Eliot and his officials
advocated policy which would place
the country on paying basis at very
much earlier period than would be
possible if great areas of the pick OF
the country are to be tied UP fef m

To an outsider 1t looks as If Sir
Charles Eliot were going to disorder a
political scandal that will cause some
upheavals in Downing street. He is q
man of rare force of character and the
last person in the world to submit to

he is barely forty he has a fine record of

ONDON, July 30-After much de-
- lay the extensive structural al
terations which have been under way at
Kylemore castle for some months are
now practically completed. and it is ex-
pected that the Duke and Duchess Of
Manchester will be able to go into
residence there before the end Of the
London season. All the rubbish Gre
ated by the alterations, as we'll as the
building tackle, is being removed. but
as the nearest railway station is seven
miles distant from the castle, it will
be about a week or two before the
grounds and the premises can be en-
tirely rid Of the unsightly litter. The
duchess, who Is much annoyed at the
time the alterations have taken to.
complete, informed the builders O.
month ago that she wanted them out
of the place bag and baggage by the
end of July. She demonstrated with
them at the time of the kings visit to
Ireland for their inability to have the
place ready for the reception of his
majesty and the queen. She was so
disappointed that she has been writ
Ing angry letters almost weekly to the
steward who is in charge of the castle
exhorting him to hurry on the work so
that she may, at least, be able to enter

| tore they return to their own country
1t is believed in the neighberhood Of
the castle that to console her for her
disappointment over the kings visit
the Duke and Duchess Of Connaught
with Princess Victoria, will spend a
week OF Rxr1o
diately after the duke and duchess
take possession. The place abounds in
| excellent sport in the way of shooting
and fishing, to which the royal party is
devoutly attached. The "house warm
ing is expected to be conducted on
lavish scale. The young heir. to the
Manchester title, who was born in the
other Irish home of the duke and OUCH
ess, will for the first time invite other
distinguished babies to share his hos
pitality, SO that Kylenore will find

children of the neighborhood will be

known at present whether they will be
allowed to share in the frolics of the

made to the people on the estate on the
occasion of the anticipated visit of the
king in April last will now be re-
! deemed. They will have holiday at
the d<chess' expense. a party at the

A matter that is somewhat seriously
| exercising the minds of her neighbors
is that her grace is introducing Eng
lish men and women as servants. In
the days of the late occupier a few

Irish. If it were not for the popularity
which the duchess has already
achieved by personal examples of mu-
nif1cence and generosity the partiality
she displays for Sassenach menials

GAELIC LEAGUE is DOING GOOD WORK
FOR IRE[AND'S REGENERATION
Annual Convention VIII Be
Held in Dublin in August

Aiming At

Special Foreign Service
m UBLIN, July 30-Friends of ireland
- have been filled with renewed
hope by the remarkable growth, popu-
larity and stability of the Gaelic
league = the new movement for the
Emerald Isles regeneration whose an
nual convention is to be held here dur
ing the first week in August. The con-
vention will bring together hundreds of
delegates representing branches of the
association not only in Ireland, but in
all parts of the world. The chief
theme of discussion will be the best
means of reviving the national spirit
of building UP an Irish Ireland that will
look within itself for its inspiration
and it's reward. The aims of the league
being primarily the preservation of
Irish as the national language of Ire
land and it's extension as a spoken
tongue" the popular feature of the
convention will be oral, literary and
vocal competitions in Gaelic. But it's
more practical work will be repre-
sented by an exhibit of Irish industries
for the members of the association are
pledged not only to do their utmost to
encourage native products, but to wear
only Irish made clothing and to pur-
chase only Irish goods when they will
supply the place of foreign articles.
What is known as the Gaelic revival
was started in small room in Lower
O'Connell street, Dublin, barely eleven
years ago. The great success which
has attended it is largely due to the
energy, tact and contagious enthusiasm
Of it's president, DIR. Douglas Hyde,
who has held that position since the
foundation of the league. He is man
of high scholarship and product of

lowing his fathers footsteps. But for
tunately for his country. he finally
chose broader field and decided to
devote himself to the unifcation and
upbuilding of Ireland, so long distract
ed by party discussions and religious
strife That he, Protestant, should
be recognized as the leader and in
spiration of the new movement is in
itself significant of the breadth of it's
character. 1t derives much of its
strength from the fact that its plat
form is nom denominations and non
political. For over a hundred years
Ireland has been a prey to agitations,
sometimes openly revolutionary; at
other times in the form of secret con-
spiracies. but always having for their
object the overthrow of British rule.
These efforts have all failed. They
have only increased popular discomfort
and stimulated that disastrous emfgra-
ton which has made barren wastes of
what once were populous districts.
The Irish people are awaking to the
fact that the salvation of Ireland can
not be attained by political agitation
whether revolutionary or constitutional,
and are raliying to the support of the
Gaelic league in which ancient ami
mesities are buried and men of diver
gent creeds and party faiths can work
shoulder to shoulder for a commoh
cause. Thus it comes about that men
like Lord Iveagh, WI J. Pifrie, Capt.
Shave Taylor, Edward Martyr, Lord
Ashbourne and others of equal prom
inence in the professional, commercial
and social life of Ireland are now for
the first time found cooperating in
behalf of the league. How rapid has
been its growth may be inferred from
the fact that whereas few years ago
it numbered two hundred branches in
Ireland it now has close on a thousand.
Patrick O'Da1y, the general secretary.
who has rare talent for organization, is
kept continually busy forming new
branches.
While the league holds itself rigidly
aloof from politics it's existence proved
almost fatal to the government during
the present session of parliament. At
the -behest of the league Irish members
divided the house of commons on the
question of educational expenditure in
ireland, particularly with reference to
the need of affording greater facilities
for teaching Irish in the national
schools, and the government. not being
prepared for the division, was defeated
by small majority vieefegaf COM

the subject and Douglas Hyde, wha
appeared before it. made out such
strong case for instruction in Gaelic

other way, according to British usages

Lord Lansdowne," he says in his
message. ordered me to refuse grants
of land to certain private persons while
giving a monopoly, on unduly advan-
tageous terms. to the East African syn
dictate. I have refused to execute these
instructions, which consider unjust
and impolitic."
The foreign secretary is thus directly
accused of using his high Office to fur
Their a big land grabbing job. Thus
far he has made no response to the
charge. taking refuge in that dignified
silence which in English government
circles is supposed to indicate con-
scious rectitude and integrity. But
