LONDON, oct 25.-Terence Mac Swiney. lord mayor of Cork. the most prominent of the Irish hunger strik- CTS and said to have been the brains of the republican army in Ireland, | died early today in Brixton prison.
 The end was not unexpected, for the lord mayor had been unconscious for several days. He was entering upon the seventy day of his hunger strike as a protest against a sentence of two years Imprisonment on several charges. including one of having sedi- tIous documents in his possession.
 Only his brother, John MacSwiney, and his private chaplain, Father Dominic, were with him when he died. Mrs. MacSwiney and the prisoners two sisters. Annie and Mary, were at nearby hotel.
 emaciated as a result of his long ab- stinence from food had been delirious for many hours and was unconscious when death came.
 It was several hours after the lord mayor died before his brother was permitted to tell Mrs. MacSwiney the sad news. She immediately went to
 the prison, accompanied by her par, ents and the Misses MacSwlney and the family group, dry-eyed. prayed
 over the body as it lay on the cot There was no untoward demonstra- tfons outside the prison after the news
 of MacSwiney's death became gener- ally known. A large force of police had been concentrated to put down any disorder that might occur. It was said at the prison that the reason for with holding permission to John MacSwiney
 to inform the dying mans relatives of his condition was that it was in the | prisoners interests.
 Just before MacSwiney died Father
 Dominic and John MaeSwiney kneit
 at the bedside and offered up prayers. The priest administered the rights or | extreme unction.
 1t is we'll within the possibilities that the body will be taken to Cork secretly
 in order to avoid unpleasant results from whatever demonstrations might
 be arranged in Ireland and England
 along the route traversed by train
 bearing the body. There is no intirna-
 ton that any official advocates refusal
 to send it to Cork.
 The home office, in charge of pris-
 ons. which would control the movement
 of the body in England, said that no pleas for the removal of the body had been officially considered. At the Irish
 office it was declared that no plea had been formulated for the transfer of the . body to Irlenad and that final decision on this point would rest with Dublin Castle.
 It is within the power of the home office to give up the body of a lSrisonei ia whatever way is deemed most ex- pedient It is pointed out that it coulc . legally transfer the body in secret tC some out of the way port and later t :, a government vessel and deliver it a i Cork.

 LONDON. Oct. Recommending O the death of Lord Mayor McSwine, T. the Evening Standard says: n Tn contempt of nature. and in de st fiance of his own priest. the Tor Id mayor persisted in his design of sui ' eide. The responsibility is his so ia
 as it does not lie with those who gav le him countenance. It cannot be sai W in any measure to rest on the govern pr ment who merely declared tSat unde lg no circumstances could he be release,
 His death is truly a case of self-muI re der as if he had opened a vein on tf la first night of his incarceration" pr The Westminster Gazette says ne "The government may urge a thor ne sand reasons to prove it could do noth ld ing but what it did do. Nevertheless lg it has been beaten bv Lord Maver MC h. Swiney. Englishmen have never faile
 in generous respect for those wh ts resist them to the death. They kno v- that the death of this man is no vi, g, tory for them"
