London. Sept 24.-The London morning
papers devote columns to the obituary OF
Patrick Ford, they dilate on his alleged
plot to set fire to London in connection
with the land agitation.
The Daily Express declares that Ford's
death ON the date of the Ulster confer
ence is an ominous portent for the Home
Rulers.
The Standard saws: The Ireland land
war with its crimes and passions is sim
ply a mournful chapter Of history. The
ireland of today, may affect to think re-
spectfulIy of men like Patrick Ford, but
has nothing in common with a nation
which once thought the gospel of dyna-
mite practical and hopeful.
The Daily Mail says;
Nothing could be more eloquent of
the improvement in Anglo-lrish rela
tons than the simple fact that Patrick
Ford leaves behind neither successors
nor imitators."
The Daily News, however, refers to
him as Quiet unassuming Irish Amer

whose great crime it was that he dared
use some portion of the fortune and
influence which he had acquired by his
own eXertions, in the United States in
defence of the liberty and honor of his
