IRISH AFFAIRS

[ Reuteus Tui.euiiams.] SIR J. CRAIG’S VIEW.

• Received this day at 8 n.m.) LONDON, May 11. Sir J. Craig, in a statement, says there are only two courses open. One to drop the idea of a Boundary Commission, which aims at an arbitrary /Settlement and would lead straight to y serious trouble. The other is to aim at a settlement by mutual agreement, on the principle of give and take which would leave no bitterness behind. II a real settlement is wanted, there is a way. My desire for settlement is so great and so real, that it an agreement nf this kind could he reached, even at the expense of my retiring from public life. I am willing to make tho sacrifice.
