9 LORD LOREBURN'S APPEAL. PROFOUND IMPRESSION. PITIFUL SCENES IN DUBLIN. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright London, September 12. The appeal of tho ex-Chancellor (Lord Loreburn) for a conference of all parties with a viow to arriving at a settlement of the Irish question, has created a profound impression. Thero is a disposition to regard tho proposal from a party standpoint. (Rec. September 14, 5.5 p.m.) London, September 13. Nowspaper comment on Lord Loreburn's appeal show that the issue is likely to oentre on the question as to whether the Unionists should consent to somo form of "break-lip" of legislative union. Tho Rev. R. J. Campbell, interviewed on his return from a visit to Ulster, said that the agitation against Home Rulo thero was in nowiso bluff. Ho had hopes that Lord Lorcburn's suggestion will bo carried out. Lord Grey, Lord Bra-ssoy, Dr. T. D. Ackland, and Mr. Wm. O'Brien support the conference proposal.

Larkin, head of the Trar sport Workers' Union in Dublin, who was recently committed for trial as a sequel to the rioting, has been bailed out in a sum of £-100. He has given his bond for his future good behaviour. The Employers' Federation at Dublin have notified the workers that they decline to renew tho conference. They add that tho employers are confronted not with an ordinary trade union, but with Syndicalism, which is seeking to deluge uninstructpd ' men with Continental theories in relation to capital and labour, theories which havo broken down whenever thoy havo be.en tried. This struggle to rid themselves and their employees from the Syndicalist yoke of intimidating was costly, but there was no alternative. - WOMEN AND CHILDREN STARVING. TRAGEDY OF DUBLIN STRIKE.
