VIGOROUS PROTEST IN DUBLIN
Proclamation of the Crimes
Stirs Redmond and Other
at Pablle Meeting.
Act
DUBLIN, Sept 8. At th public meeting
here today, convened by the lord mayor of
Dublin to protest against the recent proc
lamation of the Crimes act In five Irish
counties. It was resolved to hold a demon
stration In Phoenix Park. September 14.
The voting of this resolution was received
with shouts of "We shall be bludgeoned
"a 1891." ' .
John Redmond, leader of th '''-Vy'-'y
In .the House of Commons snd i ' ,.
of the United Irish league, denounc
proclamation of the Crimes act aa a grit.
and wicked outrage. Issued at the whim ot
a despot and a gang of absentee land
lords. "That proclamation la a He," said Mr.
Redmond. "In the whole civilised world
there ls.no city so free from crime as In
Dublin. The only way to meet this proc
lamation la to make the political situation
In Ireland too hot for these men. Let
them create fierce agitation, and Dublin
will rls up as one man to Join the United
Irish Land league and make it aa powerful
and menacing to British misrule aa the
land league Waa twenty year ago."
John Dillon, nationalist member of the
House of Commons, approved the proposals
made by Mr. Redmond. He described the
proclamation as "audacity" and "ruffian
ism" and claimed there was more crime
In Belfast In one month than in Dublin
In five. "But would Belfast be proclaimed?"
he asked.
He said Oeorge Wyndbam. chief secretarv
for Ireland, was slowly descending the oath
which had led so many of hla predecessors
to perdition. He claimed the proclamation
waa In favor ot that flunkeylsm which in
Dublin and in Cork had almost aucceeded
in prostituting and debasing Ireland's na
tionality and manhood before the oppressors
and the conquerors.

the last two days prove that the eruption of
Mount Pelee of August 80 was far raor

As the eruptions continue the mouth of
Mount Pelee grows in size. It Is now of
enormous proportions. Morne Lacrolx, one
of the peaks that reared akyward from the
side of Pelee, has fallen bodily Into the
crater and haa been completely swallowed.
Ther seem to be a aide pressure In the
crater and the burning chasm widen per

Clouda ao more hang about the crest of
Mount Pelee. The terrino heat seems to
drive everything away. The column of tlame
and smoke reara directly Into the heavens
so that Its top is lost to sight. ln the
darkness of the night it has the appearance
of a stream of molten Iron, .tannin. ..,

make a quick retreat, although they suc
