These principles are: First That

full protection of the imperial Parlia-

Thus the government extends TO the
signers of the Ulster COY enant the
olive branch.
Say Proclamation Came Too Late.
The comment of the Ulster leaders
is to the effect that the kings procla-

arms into Ireland comes too late. They
say there already are 10000 service

two young white men arrested several
days ago following the confession of
Waddell Baird, negro, arrested by

planned and conducted the robbery
with the negro as an employed assist
ant in pulling the lever car on which
was made the trip from Hattiesburg

the large quantity of goods taken on
the occasion of their raid.
