DUBLIN. Feb. l1.-tSpecial to The BeeD
-Orangemen. ogged on by the so-called
Craig element Of tory politicians, have
broke loose again this time around Ennis
killen. United league dance was held
IN the Killyrover band room and the band

An official Firebrand.
Robert Thompson. member Of Parlia-
ment for North Belfast has written
letter in which he says Il have not per
sonally seen any Of the Orange drilling
operations going on, but ! am aware that
the people Of Ulster especially in the
neighborhood of Belfast. are thoroughly
aroused and 1 have reason to believe that
uniOnist clubs throughout the district are
now in course Of enrolment, which will
include all adult males of 16 years and
over. 1t seems to me that when this or
ganzation is completed 100000 loyal men
are likely to be available, composed not only
OF Orangemen. but all the Protestant de-
nominations, with a view to defending
their rights under the British crown and
constitution, from which they refuse to be
separated. l need not add that Ulster men
are known throughout the world not only
for their loyalty, but their determination
to maintain their civil and religious lib
critics loyal subjects of their king"
