It ! fait that tha outlook for a settlement of tha whole question of Irish homa rula never waa brighter. . It la. firmly believed that tha recent Vnionlat victory In Bermondaey will ao " strengthen the backbone of the houae nf lord that they will reject the ; l.udg.-t, and tliua force Mr. Asqulth to ko to tlw country. ' Tliere la. by the way, an Irlih caat 1o the election In Bonnondsey. Dr. A. .Salter, the: Socialist candidate, haa i , been a strong advocate of home rule. and waa extremely . popular with the -.lrtli voters of the borough. It U asserted and believed here that bad the Irish leadera desired the elec- tion of the Liberal they could have 'divested enough votea from 'tha . So . , clallat to have accomplished It. But ; the leadera want a general election with i the veto power of the house of lords the issue, and the Bermondaey election I ( they believe will help them get It. .' Oetermlaed oa JCoata Bala. , What does Ireland expect from., this election? , A recent speech . by w John Redmond ana wers ' this question. Mr. Kedmondf sajd: "1 say. toall whom It concerns,'- to Liberals aa- well as Con servatives. 4hat when the general elec tion cornea home rule for Ireland shall, . naimu, do. amongst mi leading is sues . submitted to the electorate. The policy , of silence and evasion, which i was so largely, pursued by tha Liberal leadera at the last' election on this question of Ireland, cannot be re i pea ted. For my own part, ,1 have no' , reason whatever to doubt that the lead era of the Liberal party will . place . w bat Winston Churchill the other day cmica a r national aettlement With Ire land in the front amongst tha leading issues to be submitted to tha electors at the next election. . But anyway. . wnetner tfley flo or not I say to you, . In the name of the Irlahr party, and in t lie name of tha Irishmen of Great . Britain, .that . tha Irish votea- in this country will not be cast in support of any candidate who Is not prepared to declare nrst that be is In favor of liome rule that is not enough mere theoretical support Is not enough, un der the conditions but. in the second place, that he is determined to use his influence to. have this Irish question : placed among the leading issues that ' must be dealt with in a practical way In thr ext parliament. " ;... ' "The Irishmen of Great Britain will not subordinate the question of Justice to Ireland to any other question what ever. I assert that the Irish of Great Britain , will cast their votes 011 homa rula alone; that they will discard all other questions. The predominant question for them Is the question ,o( home rule for Ireland. They will vote on that question alone,, quite Irre spective of the Interests of any polit ical party." . Loss Vow MeaUiad. ' Both here and London, eloquent tributes have been paid to the late Lord Justice FiUglbbon. The ' lord chief Justice of England expressed his deep sympathy and that of his col leaguea with the Irish bench In the loss of "a great Judge, a profound lawyer, and a man. of wide and varied learn ing." -Lord Alverstone spoke for the legal profession in England as woll as Ireland when he said thst every one who' differed from the late lord Justice acknowledged hla' unswerving rectitude, bis conspicuous fairness, and his charming personality. The recorder of Dublin remarked that""the supreme tri bunal of our country is the poorer In the absence of his striking personality arid matchless ability,"' and T. M. Ilekly said: "AS an Irishman, as a Judge, as a ctticen,. this. country is the poorer: for his passing away."j The leading; ' English newspapers also, refer sympathetically to' trie loss of one of the greatest Irishmen. ' " ' '' Labor Coaroe la Ireland. In a special report on the relief of the unemployed in Ireland which has been published as a blue book. It Is stated that the stream of emigrants who ' have passed from Ireland to ' the United States, and, to a much smaller extent, to the other countries, during the-last 10 years, has effectually re lieved the labor market of any absolute surplus; but It may be, doubted whether, during; the last few decades at any rate, the departure of .ao many of the most enterprising Irish men and wo men haa not had A more serious effect in checking development than in reliev ing pressure. That In the country dis tricts there Is a dearth rather than any surplus, of labor seems 1 to be fairly well established. The bishop of1 Ross informed us. when he visited Skib- bereen, that, there war now a consider able dearth of laborers In the country districts round, and pointed out that advertisements in the newspapers con firmed -v this, for such advertisements were only a last resort when the farmers had tried all other means of -rettine 4a our. 1 ' ; 1 GERMAN INVASION IS SPOOK IN ENGLISH MIND Nervousness About Germany, Seems to Pervade United , '.Kingdom Xew Gun Designed to Destroy Air-.' . . . ships Many Tobacco Workers Idle.

It is now taking the shspe of petty offi cial, regulation.

' By order of the minister for ways of communication, no Jewa or Poles are to be employed in the construction of the Tlumen-Omsk railway. Unpleasant Harbta Incident. The Harbin Incident is assuming oj somewhat serious character. The Ger man conaul, Herr Baumuller, has sum moned the German detachment from Kloochou in order to protect German interests at Harbin. The "Novoye Vremya" and the "Russ"' indignantly comment on the Russo German Incident at Harbin, where the German consul is stated to have openly refused to recognize Russlon authority and demand the recall of the German consul. The "Novoyo Vrornys," says: "Tho Russian aettlement should be rid of foreign undesirables who. Interpreting the extra-territorial rights In a spirit of savagery, let loose their dogs on tho Russian police." ' Executions Hare Bad Effect. The continuance of nummary and wholesale executions Is producing a very bad effect on public opinion here. M. Khomlakoff, the president of the duma, saya: "They seem determined to continue the hangings to the last man. Certainly, I see no reason for carrying out all the sentences passed by courts martial. All these punish ments relate to crimes committed dur ing the period of revolution, crimes long since forgotten and forgiven in tho hearts of the people. Some days ago the court martial at Vilna sentenced four men. named Selyako, Pantoff, Rottenberg- and Ren.". xlchek, to death by hanging. General Drosdoviteh, consul for the defence, asked that the execution should be postponed. He had appealed to the senate, and had also sent a petition to the csar for the-pardon of the men, nnd was awaiting the derision. General Herschelmann, commander of the Vllna district, hastened, however, to confirm the death sentence, and all four mm were at once hanged. On the follow ing day a telegraphlo order suspending the execution of Rottenberg and Rem stehek srrived from St. Petersburg." At Kkaterlnoslay eight prisoners charged with organizing the railway strike of ltOi have ben executed. Vera la mthy Coadltlon.
