Dubin.-Maud Conne, or, to state her full name in recent years, Madame Gonne McBride-is a re markable figure, not only in the political history of Ireland, but also in that of France at one period. She was a Boulangist and a Fenian, and in later years espoused the cause of extreme Republicanism in the Irish Free State. In a word, she has always been a revolutionist. She was born about 63 years ago

in London, being the daughter of Colonel Gonne of the British Army, who had some record as a soldier in various parts of the British Ent- At a time when she was pire. still almost in her teens she went with her father and sister to reside in Paris. She might be said to be hrought up a the Bolteniian atmos phere of the gay city, and was talented and artistic.

Mr. Taylor replied in the nega- tive.
