DUBLIN. Sept. 1L-Cspecisl TO The Bee)
1t is possible that the prize fight at
Reno New. between johnson and Jefferies,
may lead to a Parliamentary debate as TO
the right of cities to manage their own
internal affairs without the Intervention OF
the imperial government or any OF its APP
pointees. Recently the managers OF the
pictures OF the fight sought to exhibit
them in this city Their effort developed
the fact that the municipality had no power
to prevent the exhibit. There was strong
public sentiment against the display.
Archbishop Walsh came out with a strong
protest publicity against allowing the pic
lures to be shown He said in a letter to
the mayor:
Il saw with satisfaction that the London
County council expressed a strong opinion
adverse TO the exhibition in London OF
cinematograph reproduction. OF the brutaliz-
ing Johnson-Jeffries fight Now il appears
that Dublin is to be made sort OF jump
ing-off ground for the display. Things be-
ing as they are, the cinematograph dis
play will be attended by crowded audiences.
That. unfortunately, we cannot help. But
we can at all events register a protest
against it."
The license was granted. however and
the show was given. One of the municipal
bodies considered the matters and con-
cluded that the city could not interfere
In an official report II declared that the
cities Of ireland were powerless to act in
such matters owing to the imperial govern
ments assumed perogauves in respect TO
them.
Hard on the Mobility.
The Irish nobility is getting some hard
knocks. A few days ago the earl of
Courtown was fined for allowing his work
r,snas0s use net in fishing in the River
| CuDavarra- without license. The net was
also confiscated. A Hibernian lord was
not long ago knocked out of a public
house in Belfast City for singing after
hours. And the financial officers OF the
earl OF Clancarty were thrashed out In
1 the BANKRUPTCY court
She Took orr the Hat.
/ A dumb man seated in a dress circle OF
1 the Theater Royal created a sensation by
getting up and gestculaung Then he
sat dawn and enjoyed the show After a
while he scrubbed on a card, Il cannot
speak word; please remove your hat &"
and gave it to a woman seated in the row
before him. The young woman who was
wearing the enormous hat complied with
his request.
Freight Rates IA Ireland.
The question Of freight rates is agts ting
ing held here recently IL was charged that
the railroad magnates OF England and Ire
land were working against the interest OF
Irish merchants and manufacturers. II
was said that one Irishman who had re-
ceived an order for goods from a man in
another part or ireland had to send them
over TO England. from which they we're
reshipped TO Ireland in order to get low
freight rates.
The result Of the discrimination in freight
charges against Irish producers was, the
speaker said that English manufacturers
were getting Irish trade that would other
wise go TO men doing business in tbs coun-
try.
For Government OWnerships. .
One speaker urged that the imperial gov
eminent takes steps TO secure for the PEG.
pie the ownership and management OF the
, steam roads Of Ireland, naming 500. 600 90
as their value. The present system he said
gave English manufacturers the advantaK.
OF unrestricted trade in ireland. while n
subjected the people OF this country TO thu
restrictions Of what is considered a prac.
ticaly very high tariff To make-this thin1
palmer, English manufacturers have FIRE,
! play in ireland, while Irish manufacturer,
are hampered in their business relation,
with England by excessive railroad rates
The subject will. IN all probability. b,
