DUBLIN CONFERENCE.

IFISH MODERATES DISCUSS MEANS OF PEACE.

“SELF-GOVERNMENT DEMANDED.

LONDON, August 24. A conference of moderate minded persons throughout "Ireland met at Dublin in order to express an opinion of the Government's Irish policy and to discuss an acceptable settlement. The gathering was very repre- sertative and included many very prominent trishmen. Sir Nugent Everard presided.

The meeting at the outset passed a resolution asking the Government it the interests of peace immediately to release the Lord Mayor of Cork, who is hunger-striking and is in a dangerous state.

A resolution moved by Lord French (not the Viceroy) was passed declaring that the present Government policy would inevitably lead to civil war.

GLOOMY PICTURE.•

gloomy picture of the outlook. Lord MacDonnell Speakers drew moved the principal resolation recording that Irish peace could be secured by an immediate binding offer of full national self-government Specially elected Irish representatives should adapt new institutions to the special requirements of any part of the country requiring special treatment. He accepted Mr. Lloyd George's limitations that Ireland must remain within the Empire and that there must be special treatment of Ulster.

SUGGESTED MEDIATION.

Sir Stanley Harrington, seconding Lord MacDonnell's resolution, said that be believed dominion home rule would be received with overwhelming gratitude by the Irish, but if not acceptable he suggested that the two ,opposing parties should be asked to invoke the mediation of three colonial statesmen selected mutually from Canada, Australia, and New Zealand who, with their practical knowledge, would be able to suggest a solution that would safeguard the interests of both parties.

SIX ATTACKS REPULSED,

South of Hillah a party of Sikhs who were covering the construction of block houses were attacked by a strong body of tribes men. They were six times beaten off, every time with heavy losses. The asssitants' casualties from rifle fire alone exceeded 200. Heavy losses were also inflicted by our artillery. Our casualties were 40. The construc- tion of block houses continues.
