OMAoH, County Tyrone. Ireland. July
lS.-An uneasy feeling prevails IN all
parts OF the County Tyrone and It Is
believed by many thousands. irrespective
OF political faith, that the county Ia des-
tined TO play an important part In the
home rule situation in the next fort
night
IL is felt that the Nationalist. led by
Redmond and Dillon, are to make
whether willingly or unwillngly con-
cession TO the Unionists by agreeing 10
exclude all or nearly all or Ulster from
the rule OF the Irish Parliament In case
County Tyrone Is excluded 1t Is feared
that there will be grave disorders WIN
the Nationalist Volunteers aggressors'
An estimate OF the Nationalist Nolun-
teer force in the county fixes its armed
strength at about 800 or 1,sOO men. or
perhaps several hundred more. But the
armed men ara only IA fraction or the
number enrolled. which Is believed 10 DC
between 5000 and 10000.
The Ulster Volunteer force IN County
Tyrone is commanded by the Duke OF
| Abercorn and forms a regiment or -FOUR
battalionS The South Tyrone battalion
has thirteen companies and the COOKS
| town battalion twelve. A large part OF
the active strength OF the regiment was
in camp late in June at or near barons-
court seat OF the Duke or Abercorn
The entire enrolled strength OF the Tyrone
regiment OF the Ulster Volunteers is TO- 500
men. The part which Is armed, uniformed
equipped and drilled Is about $500 OF
6. 900 men and several hundred women
girls and boys. who are nurses. signallers
and buglers. There are at least 2,1OC
more men who are armed. but only partly
equipped and drilled.
There is intense feeling in and neal
Cookstown. where In April u party %
girls on the way to an Orange dance wal
stoned. One of the girls. Cassie John

number OF Nationallsts were arrested
Only slight provocation IL needed to star

trical atmosphere was regarded as
marvellous, In the very fact that there

And because every one recognized

child the sight OF Rubens in the Cattle

desire TO become an artist. At 20. how
ever. he was still employed as house
decorator. when an artist named Quay
passing through the Flemish village OF
Clalrmarais, whore Joets lived, was struck
by the young mans work and invited him

LoNpoN, July 1.-THE portrait OF Ed

Just been presented to the Louvre. was
once aptly described as not only portrait
of the Prince of Wales as he then was
but OF a whole race.
1t was a unique likeness Of King Ed

prominent Guelph eyes down to the small
plump hand with the long fingers, has
been wonderfully brought out.
How the picture comes 10 be AT the

NIAGARA FALLS. Ont, June 20.- Unless the Mexican mediators yield today from the position taken by them regarding the naming of a provisional president the peace con- ference in session here is to be call ed of and the American government will continue it's military operations in the republic.
 The Huerta representatives are de- termined that the provisional presi- dent shall be some Mexican not con- nected in any way with the present rebellion. In other words, the Hu- erta delegates demand that no Mex ican in arms against the republic shall succeed Huerta, but that the selection must be made from some Mexican who has remained loyal to Huerta or who has taken no part in the conflict at all.
 The American delegates, however,
