DISTURBED IRELAND.

London, May 13

A Dublin Castle bulletin states that fifty Irish police barracks were destroyed on the night of the 12th. Over twenty income tax offices were attacked and their books and documents seized. Several Court Houses were also attacked.

In the House of Commons, replying to Capt. W. Aedgewood Beno, Mr. Boar Law said that no death had curred among persons imprisoned by the Government without charge or trial. The Government had decided to have the circumstances of such arrests, examined by an independent judical body.

A bulletin of the outrages committed in Ireland yesterday, as supplied to Dublin Castle, shows eighteen farther police barracks and âve income tax offices were destroyed. Maynooth town hall was destroyed by fre to-day, explosives being used.

A series of daring outragealastevening is reported from all partsofIceland, indicating careful and methodicalorgan ization. It is suggested Mr. Bonar Law's statement în the House of Commons on May 12th, in reference to General Sir N. Macready's steps in Ireland, was the signal for the outbreak of lawlessness, which took the form of barning and blowing up police barracks, including, those at Car- rickbeg. Commons Road, and Cork, and raids on customs. excise, and income tax offices, with the destruction of documents, including those at Downpatrick, Bantry and Londonderry. At Downpatrick, Mr. Wilkinson, a opinor canon in Down Cathedral, was shot in the thigh in a dis- turbance between Orangemen and Nationalists. Strabane an ex-soldier is dying from injuries. The bar- racks at Bexaborough were also barned down. Tele- graphs and telephones have been cat, dislocating com- munication between Dublin and the provinces.

AL

An income-tax office at Belfast was raided by masked men last night. Two clerks who were working overtime were overpowered and bound. The raiders emptied the shelvas and desks, and piled income tax documents on the foor, where they saturated them with pètrol and set them afire. They then decamped. There were no arresis.

Three more police barracks in County Dublin were burned last night.

Armed masked men held up a mail train from Cork and seized constabulary letters. Limerick Corporation committee has decided not to defend claims lodged för malicious injury and to notify the ratepayers to take steps to protect windows and other property as the corporation henceforth will not pay the decrees levied according to Jaw.

London, May 14.

Within a few hours of Sir Hamar Greenwood's inter riew cabled yesterday, not yet received there was a frenzied ontburst of organised crimes. There were over a hundred throughout Ireland, including the instances mentioned earlier. Lord Sirkenhead, speaking at London last night, declared that wholly exceptional steps, were being taken at this moment to send reinforcements to the Irish Constabulary. It is understood in this connection that large military froces are being despatched.

Customs offices at Bantry were burned down this morning. Armed masked men held up two mail vans in the Thurles district, searched the mails, and seized documents.

It is apparently indicated that there will be a military guard for every polltenas in ireland.

THE BRITISH EMPIRE.

London, May. 12.

Lord Milner, specking at the Empire Parliamentary A szociation's-luzcheon to the Australian Minister-Watt, who has arrived in England in connection with the fater. national Financial Conference, referred to the question of an Imperial clearing house for the exchange of in- formation and views from various parts of the Empire. such centre to be the most effective machine to connect all parts of the Empire and thus avoid separate and in- consistent policies. In other words was it not possible for every Dominion Cabinet to arrange to have one of its members always in Great Britain available for discus sion with other Dominions colleagues and British Minis- ters about matters of common concern?

JAPAN AND BRITAIN.

"London, May 13. Speaking at the luncheon of the Empire Parlia- mentary Association at the House of Commons, Mr. Walt, Australian Commonwealth Treasurer, referring to the doctrine of a White Australia and the problem of the defence of Australia, said that if there were to be con- servations in the near future between Japan and Britain the Australian Government wanted their views knowaŝto British statesmen...

Toe "Times" correspondent at Washington states that when the Anglo-Japanese alliance is renewed next July it is suggested in the United States that provision should be inserted more effectively safeguarding Angio."" American relations. It is also suggested that the scope of the phrase "special interests" in China should be limited in the lines of the wording of the Ishii-Lansing agreement. It is urged that special interest should be. conceded to Japan in China only. when it is "recognised as distinctly defensive and based on geographical proximity, and is clearly distinguished from assertion of paramount political interest."

FRENCH LABOUR.

Paris, May 11. To-day, as yesterday, the tramways, omnibuses and underground railways in Paris were working despite the strike order, but taxicab men, masons and bricklayers showed a little more obedience to the Confederation. There were few and scarcely noticeable incidenta. At a Council of Ministers this morning the Minister of Justice was instructed to open an inquiry against the Confedera- tion.

London. May, 12.

The "Times" Paris correspondent reports that when · the decision of the Government to prosecute the Labour Confederation became known a meeting of the strikers was in progress on the boulevards. The strikers sang the "Internationale" and refused to disperse. The relice fired twice, whereupon a general melee ensued. Over- head tram wires were cut and trams bombarded with missiles. Subsequently order was restored.

Paris, May 13.

The situation of the various railway systems "is satisfactory. There has been further resumption of work on some lines and more trains are running. The Paris undergrounds are now normal and increasing signa indicate the strikers are losing enthusizsın.

The labour situation in France continues to improve although the gas workers, joiners, and upholsterers are due to strike, to-day.

New York Maz 13 The Socialist National Convention passed a resolution condemning the French Government's decision to U13GİVE the General Confederation of Labour.

Paris, May 13. There were no noteworthy developments yesterday the French labour situation. The examining magistrates are investigating documents seized on Tuesday at the General Labour Confederation. The labour leaders themselves have spent a quiet day. They are rapidly losing adherents. "The majority of the strike movements are growing hourly weaker. It is thought that by the end of the week nearly all the strikers will be back at work. In Paris yesterday there was hardly a trace of a transport strike, except for the fact that there were few taxicabs on the streets. The latest threat of the extremists is a strike of Paris gasworkers, who have received the order to quit work to-morroW morning. The Gas Company, however, is not perturbed and declares that all necessary steps have been taken to ensure satisfactory supply-Havan.

London, May 13. -Enormous-erowds, witnessed the funeral. at Stock-. halm of the Crown Princess. The ceremonies were of the most imposing and affecting nature. The mourners included the Swedish Royal Family, the Kings of Norway and Denmark, Prines Arthur, and the Earl of Onslow, representing King George. A detachment of British marines assisted in fining the route. The funeral ceremony was conducted by Archbishop Upsala and ́an English chaplain, Mr. Williams; the rituals of bath chorches were used.
