All may now come and go as they wish between the hours of in the morning and midnight. During the re- Nnaining four hours they must keep within doors.
 \ It is generally understood that Pre- inier Asquith is responsible for this lelaxation. The premiers study of con HAitions and the sentiments of the peo-
 vas no great element of rebellious lpirit remaining.
 \ MT Asquiths chief occupation since lis arrival in Dublin has consisted in Seeking a method for the adjustment of lIhe Irish crisis and in ascertaining whether it would be advisable to return No the former system of government or ,dopt a change of rule more in ac- sordance with the wishes of the people. The premier has also given some at lention to minor rebel prisoners and

 N Neither of these questions has yet
 Ieen solved, but MT. Asquith had an Opportunity to see and question a num-

 III The vast majority of Irishmen, in
 pnversing on the present position
 void any wild talk and appear anX-
 bus to appease the differences existing
 etween the various parties by agree
 Ing on any plan which offers a fair

 N Deep sorrow prevails among the peo- He of Dublin. many of whom lost rela- lives either among the rebels or troops Turing the fighting, or many civil
 ms who suffered death by stray bull lsts. Many reports are current con-
 erning the alleged harshness of the Hoops but so far as can be learned | hese appear to have arisen from ex- lggerated stories passing from mouth lh month
