IRELAND.
QEOEE, SECRETARY INTERVIEWED. SUPPRESSION OF MEETINGS. By Ttlttrapb.—Fnts Aistt.- Copyright New York, June 27. The Dublin correspondent/ of the New York World interviewed Mr. Macpher? son, Chief Secretary for Ireland. The correspondent asked: "Does not the Administration wait until the last moment before suppressing popular meetings, and thus is compelled to disperse the populace with the military?" Mr. Macpherson answered: "Sometimes, although that is unfortunate. But these meetings are' certain to be marked by seditious speaking. We do not suppress meetings at which we are assured seditious utterances will not be made. The Orange lodges do not indulge in seditious utterances or advocate murder and outrages. People will not be molested if they obey the law ( " Mr. Macpherson stated that Ireland's material prosperity was never before so r good. The Sinn Fein' movement was waning. He believed in Home Rule, but the Sinn Feiners demanded an Irish Republic. The Home Rule Act Which Would come before Parliament six months after peace did not seem popular in Ireland. He .believed conditions in Ireland were better; there seemed tt desire to proceed toward reform on constitutional lines—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
