After an Enforced Absence
of More Than 40 Years

Dublin, June I.-(Special )-Friendly as
was the late King Edward to Ireland,
King George, 1t is understood, is not only
to visit us, with Queen Mary, early next
year, but Is contemplating a royal resi-
dence in ireland and spending some time
each year in Dublin.
I, of course, do not know how much
truth there Is in this report of a royal
residence, but in official circles 1t Is re-
ceiyed with considerable credulence.
1t is further stated that King George
is strongly in favor of granting home rule
to ireland.
Stormy scenes characterized the holding
of the rival meetings Of the All for Ire
land league and U. l.. l.. supporters at
Dromore, hamlet six miles from Ban
try. Mr. Gilhooly, M. p, with strong
contingent. drove from Bantry, and a
member Of supporters of Mr.. Daniel
OLeary also put In an appearance. Both
sides harangued the crowd at the same
time, which made things rather lively.
and soon free fights took place. Sticks
and fists were freely used. Many persons
received nasty injuries. The u. L. L. Sec
ton appeared to be in the minority, and
some of their most prominent men re-
ceived rough treatment. Several received
wounds of a more or less serious nature.
The greatest disorder and confusion pre-
vailed throughout. Both sides are most
active Just now in anticipation Of gen.
eral election at an early date. 1t Is sup
posed that legal proceedings will follow
as the result Of the ARRAY.
A distinguished veteran Of the 81 move
in ireland has just returned to his old
homo In East Cork, after an alb
sence Of 43 years, five Of which were spent
in prison, and the remaining So In exile In
the land of the Stars and Stripes. This
Is Mr.. Thomas Cullinane who at the age
of "a has lust arrived at Ballymacoda,
ten miles from Middleton. his native spot,
which he had not seen since March, 1867,
and where he was we'll remembered for
the leading and conspicuous part he had
taken in the Fenian rising in company
with Captain Mcclure and Peter O'Neill
Crowley. AS a young man Mr.. Cullinane
worked as a farm servant for Mr.. Philip
ONeill of Ballydaniel, Ballymacoda. and
having Joined the Fenian Brotherhood he
took part in the raid made by the Fenians
of East Cork led by Captain Mcclure
and O'Neill Crowley, on the night Of the
rising, March 6, 1867 at the coastguard
station at Knockadoon
Sometime afterward Cullinane was ar
rested by Castlemartyr police. and was
tried in the month of May, 1867, before
special commission sitting at Cork, in
company with several other Fenians, and
was amongst those who were sentenced
ito be hanged, drawn and quartered."
This sentence was afterward committed
ITO penal servitude for life, and Cullinane
spent terms of imprisonment In Mount
10y, Kilmainham and Dartmoor. Suisse
ouently he was sent out as convict to
Australia with the late. John Boyle O'Reil-
ly and several other Fenians. In the year
1872 he received his freedom on the condi-
ton that he should not again return to
Ireland, and so he went into exile in the
United States from whence he has just
now returned home vigorous hale and
hearty for his years, to live for the re-
mainder of his days with his sister, who
still survives In the old house at Bally-
macoda, and her two sons.
