would oppose tha confirmation Of Mr.

aaid. a matter entirely for the judiciary
committee, to paaa upon. . t. -
"My . present Intention," Mr, Pulton
aald, "la to make no effort for or against

leniently as the president and Senator
Pulton, but will take a stand against
tha confirmation of 'Bristol by tha

that Bristol had been guilty of unpro-

scholar, lecturer and prealdent of . the
Gaelic league, reached Portland this
morning and will talk at tha Marquara
theater tomorrow evening. '
rl am here to tell what wo ara doing
in ' Ireland in reviving . the -Irish lan-
guaga," ha- aald. Ha prefera to call K
Irish language rather than Gaelic.
. fcaslly approachable, democratic, in
tensely Irish, Dr. Hyda by a peculalr
charm and. appeal has won America to"
his cause and has aroused an intereat,
in. reviving tha Irtah- languago that has
taken a mora substantial form thaa '
sentiment. Not only by the Irish In '
the United States hag this cause been
espoused and, funds subscribed, but
Americans generally hava quickly ac
cepted his views and are aiding ia the
movement
"It Is really astonishing; how rapidly
TEe American people tiava graspd fha
Import of tha movement and bow won
derfully they have assisted." aald Dr..
Hyde, "Of course tho Irish in America
were always , in ' sympathy with th .
movement', but it is to the Americans
who are not Irish that I am grateful."
Hakes o Jraophecle. -
Mr. Hyde . will make no prophadea
with reference to tho future liberation
of Ireland, though ha admlta that when
tha language shall have been thoroughly
revived and recognised as tho official i
language of courta and schools it must '.
be when Ireland Is free. Tho move-
ment, ha says. Is one of far wider scope ,
than a lingulstto revival; It has devel
oped into a glgantlo industrial move- '
rrtent that Includes the revival of the -Irish
tongue, and the . Installing of a .
race pride that haa been dormant ..
"It la by instilling Into our people a
spirit of race pride that we 'hope to re
vive the Irish language." aaid Dr. Hyda.
"And In inspiring that spirit of pride
other things will be accomplished than
tha revival of tho language."
' Since 'November ti. Dr. Hyde ' has
been lecturing In America. He spoke
ia New York on that date and baa slnoe
spoken In almost SO cities. Ha haa
averaged five addresses each week.' In
Haa Francisco the Interest ha aroused to
his cause resulted in an ovation.
Welcomed ia Baa rraaolaoo.
'all - the allies t JlB.ve visited lr
America there 'is aona which showed""
such Interest In my work aa Kan Fran
cisco," he said. "It waa remarkable and '
certainly gratifying. There were many .
large individual contributions to the
cause there, one man giving tl.tee to -promote
tho work."'
Dr. Hyde arrived In Portland "with
Mrs. Hyde early this morning and was
met at tho union station by a reception
oomrolttea ot local cltlsens. consisting -of
Professor Morrln. M. O. Munly, J. 1.
Murphy, and Dr. A. A. Morrison. There
waa a large crowd of admirers at -the
sutlon to great him.
. J. B. .Teon escorted the distinguished
visitor, hla Wife and the reception oom- "
mlttee to tho Portland hotel In an auto.
mobile. An acute indisposition oa the -part
of Mrs. Hyde may interfere some
what with the plana of tho reception ,
committee lit entertaining tho lecturer''
and his wile. However, they went to ,
tho home of Dr. A. A. Morrison, rector
of Trinity church, where they were
gueats today. Thera will bo aa informal

At the Portlsnd hotel Dr. Hyde was
met by numerous enthusiastic edmlrere. '
Aa a result of the Journey from Han
Francisco he wss greatly fatigued and
rested for several hours. Ha declared
that hla lectors tomorrow night wssid '
deal with the revival of the Irish lan
guage and would tell of a hat was being -done
toward It In Ireland and In America.
"Fifty years' ago," Dr. Hyde said,
tha Irish language waa spoken br at

It became almost eatlnct aa a result of
tha domination of Fngland, and nntU re
