THREE INCHES OF RAIN IN BOSTON
Record Breaking Downpour Floods Build
ings and Threatens Subway.

Boston, July ia cloud burst which
poured nearly two inches of rain into
the city streets inside of two hours
late yesterday and added an inch more
during the evening, created a record for
Boston yesterday as the heaviest ram
fall in any one day in forty years, or
since the establishment of the weather
bureau station.
The downpour created havoc with con-
struction work on two new subwnys,
flooded nnumeraDle cellars in the low or
part of the city and caused no little
damage by backing up sewer and drain-
age pipes and flooding many buildings.
The new Boylston street subway
which is under construction was inun-
dated, the sewer connections and pumps
being totally unable to carry off the
water. Street car traffic had to be di-
verted as, the flooded area lay beneath
tracks propped up by submerged tim
bers which it was feared might at any
time give way.

fremont street subway with the south

IRELAND RECEIVED
ASQUITH J0YfULLY
However, There Were Some Untoward
Incidents, Including Hurting of
Hatchet and Throwing of Blaz-
ing Chair in Theatre Yesterday.

Dublin, July l9.--The British prime
minister received a vociferous popular
welcome here last night. On his arrival
he was met by Augustin Birrell. chief
secretary for Ireland, the national lead
ers and the mayors OF Dublin Cork aud
other cities. A torchlight procession
with 40 bands and thousands of lights
escorted the carriage to hotel amid
a sustained roar OF welcome, the pre-
mier constantly standing in his carriage
and bowling his Acknowledgements, and
Mrs. Asquith scattering flowers among
/ the crowd
Suffragetes chartered small boats at
kingstown, about seven miles from Dub
| lin, with view to making demon
stration on the arrival OF the premier's
boat. but were prevented from doing so
BY the vigilance OF the authorities. A
serious affair seemingly Of sufFragette
origin, occurred, however. at the Duh
lin theatre. During an entertainment
a blazing chair, apparently oiEsoalSed,
was thrown from box into the or,
chestra. The curtain OF the box caught
on fire and the audience was thrown into
a panic Attendants extinguished the
flames, and order was restored. One
woman who occupied the box made her
escape from the theatre, but second
woman who aided in the incidendiarism
was arrested She is said to be an Eng
lish suffragette.
Another outrage occurred while the
procession was passing Princess street.
A woman threw hatchet at the pre-
miers carriage. but nobody was injured.
On arrival of the car at the hotel,
Premier Asquith and Mrs. Asquith, John
f. Redmond, leader of the Irish ma
tionalists, and the lord mayor of Duh
lin proceeded to an elaborately decorat-
ed balcony, where Mr. Redmond public
ly welcomed the prime minister. Great
crowds gathered in the street gave the
premier an ovation.
Mr. Asquith, in brief speech, said
that this was the first time the chief
minister of the crown had visited Ire
land since the act Of union and it was
beyond his power adequately to thank
the people for their magnificent and
memorable welcome He came on a mis-
sion of peace between artifcially
estranged peoples. They would not for
get Grattan and Parnell now that they
were entering into the fruits of the Ia
bors of these men.
The premier said that he was the am
bassador of treaty of perpetual pea p
between Ireland and Great Britain and
he assured the Irish people in behalf
of the Liberal party and British democ-
raey that they mean to bring their cause
to a speedy issue
