HOME RULE CAMPAIGN
In ireland Is Becoming More Acute
Every Day.

Dublin, Ireland, Jan. 1S.-Most Of the
active politicians having now returned
from brief holiday, interest in the
home rule campaign is becoming more
acute every day.
During the last few weeks. the
Gnionists have made much use of the
recent Papal decree forbidding Catho-
lies under pain of communication to
summon ecclesiastics before the lay
tribunals. DIR. Patrick OtDonnell, Ro-
man CatEolia bishop of Raphoe. has
now followed Archbishop Walsh of
Dublin in expressing the opinion that
the papal decree does not apply TO
Ireland.
John Dillon and John Redmond, two
of the Nationalist leaders today, gave
out statements in regard TO land pur-
ehased in Ireland John Dillon, in a
letter concerning the tenants in the
County of Clare, who have not heen
able to effect purchases OF their land
under the terms Of the land purchase
act Of 19o5. which empowered the
government tn lend money to tenants
to enable them TO purchase their hold
inss, says.
If the lords hold up home rule it
will be necessary TO institute a cam
paign on the land question and bring
pressure to bear on the landlords Of
the County of Clare to sell their es-
tates on reasonable terms"

Man Sell the Road.

Mrs. Margaret V. Harrington of Au-
susta. daughter of Mrs. Enoch G. Far
rington. one of the purchasers of the
stock of the Fryeburg Horse Railroad,
stated, Thursday evening, to a journal
reporter that the purchase of the road
was made by her mother and Seth w.
Fife of Fryeburg in order that they
might control the stock and if oppor-
tunity offered sell the road to parties,
who would electrify it.
It was one of the hopes Of the late
Col. Fnoch C. Harrington, a former
clerk of the State Board of Railroad
Commissioners, that the road might be
equipped with electric power and form
part of a line from Fryeburg to Stow
and Lowell on the north and extending
to Cornish on the south. He had even
thought of the possibilities of a great
hydro electric development at Bonny
Eagle which has since been made.
While the present owners do not ex-
pect to be able of themselves to carry
out the development of the famous old
road that was contemplated by Col.
Harrington they hope to interest others
in the project
The Fryeburg Horse Railroad was
organized in 1887 and the read was
laid out shortly afterwards. Its total
length is three miles and the rolling
stock includes three open cars and
three closed cars. The directors of the
road chosen at its last meeting We're:
George +. Macomber. Augusta; Mrs
L. G. Harrington and Mrs. Margaret

Mr.. Macomber was chosen president al

Pekin, Jan 1S.-The foreign Iega-
tions are preparing for trouble in Pc
kin, tomorrow. The question of abdi-
cation of the throne will be discussed
by the Empress Dowager and the
princes, but it is not thought that
Yuan Shi Kai will take part in the
conference. A rising in the capital has
been looked for many times, in the
past few months, and precautions
have been taken in anticipation of it
-needlessly, however, and the out
break may not occur, tomorrow.
But it has been long expected that
the Manchu irreeoneilabies would
unite in massacre when all hopes for
the administration had vanished. A
plaeard posted tonight, indicates that
the Manchu threats may be fulfilled.

Chinese to resist the abdication of

board, at which Yuan Shi Kai re-

there are $500. Many Chinese. who
have not yet deserted the city, are
preparing for flight, tomorrow, and
prominent followers of Yuan Shi Kai
are taking refuge outside their own
homes, tonight, hoping that in the
event of massacre, they will not
be found

been dsoyal to the Manchus, although
pretending to support them, are attract
ing the attention of foreigners, as we'll
as the Manchus and Chinese. Some OF
the revoutionists have long been say
ing that he was working for the over
throw, not the salvation, of the dynasty.
But it has been thought that this charge
was designed to diseredit the premier
with the Manchus. Others charge Yuan
Shi Kai with working for his own in
terests and that he intended to become
dictator, If he did not assume the throne.

Immediately after the Presidents
action, the attorney general telegraph

charge of Morse, although he had been
removed to the Fort Mcpherson hos
