Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
DUBLIN, June is. 1913.
At the sitting in Belfast of the General
Assembly Of the Presbyterian Church in
Ireland deputation from the Synod of
the Presbyterian Church in England was
received. The Rev. Benjamin Bell, mod
orator Of the church in England, said
that although it would be out Of place
for him to enter upon discussion on the
question of home rule. he assured them
in the name of the Presbyterian Church
in England that whatever difference of
opinion there might be in England on
the question they were all united In deep
est sympathy with the members Of the
Irish Presbyterian Church, and the most
prayerful interest in the way the question
of home rule turned.
The Rev. J. r. Mclean declared that
he spoke for the whole Presbyterian
Church in England when he said that If
the difficulties which the Presbyterian
Church in Ireland now feared became
difficulties in reality every man of the
Presbyterian Church in England would
be on their side: indeed. some English
Presbyterians would go much farther
than that personally.

Meeting Never Held

When Gompers saw Brandenburg the
next day, he insisted that President Van
Cleave of the National Association of
Manufa cturers should meet him and ap-
prove the proposition.
To this Brandenburg assented, but the
meeting was never held.
Gompers says that the paper prepared
for him to sign by Brandenburg is as
follows:

Views of Morrison.

Frank Morrison, secretary of the Amer

at the weekly meeting of the Central La
Dor Union last night in Typographical
Temple, declared that the statement of
Mulhall regarding the activities of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers with
relation TO legislation and the Ia Dor situa-
ton was substantiated by disclosures made
by President Gompers of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. Mr.. Morrison said that
an investigation of the books of the Asso-
citation of American Manufacturers would
reveal some startling information as to
where and how, about $4,000 had been
expended.
He remarked that he himself was ia

Thousands Sign Memorial.

1t is officially announced that the lay
mems memorial asking the assembly to
take a stand against home rule was
signed in round figures by 10000 per-
sons. a remarkable fact considering that
only males over sixteen were eligible to
sign.
The Rev. William Park, a former mod
orator. handed in the following notice Of
motion: That the assembly receives the
memorial. and declares that the opposl-
ton of the church to home rule continues
as determined and unyielding as in the
firm conviction that the home rule bill
is a measure that would infiict incalcu-
liable injury on our country and our
church, This will be discussed after the
memorial Is formally presented.

Unionist Campaign.

Eighteen Irish unionist members Of
the house of commons. sixteen of whom
represent Ulster constituencies will take
part in the special campaign in Great
Britain during the next few weeks.
The object is to try to convince British
electors "of the grave peril which must
attend the setting up of a nationalist
parliament in Dublin and the spirit
which animates the loyalists of Ulster
in their determination to resist it,
The exigencies Of parliamentary bust
ness make 1t necessary to limit the
scope Of the campaign, and for the
present only few of the leading cities
have been selected.
The announcement of the seizure of
rifles at Belfast caused mild sensa
ton in the house of commons
The idea that the rifles were imported
to be seized and advertised as a proof
Of the determination of the Orange
factions to fight may be dismissed. The
authorities have every reason to be-
lieve that the rifles were actually in
tended for use by the Orange clubs
Their seizure was not accidental

Elberfeld found he needed a lot Of

asked waivers on Jordan. As Otto
goes to Memphis at just this time it
is probable that he went at the waiver
price.

Rain makes the grass grow and the

is that II contributes to the propaga
