NEW SUGGESTION FOR
IRISH GOVERNMENT
A. P. A. Service.
LONDON, May 28.—The ques
tion of a proper form of govern
ment for Ireland is at present a
subject of wide spread discus
sion, owing to the statement of
Asquith that a new method of
dealing with the Irish must be
devised. It is. suggested in min
isterial circles that a government
constructed on the Swiss plan
presents the greatest possibilities
in meeting the religious difficul
corporation of which Lindeberg
:s president, was taken from the
train at Ilornbrook last evening
and is being returned here in
charge of Constable J F. Clauson
of that place. Lindeberg was en
route to Seattle.
The Family Paper is the N.tniu
Daily Naotrat
ties involved and has received
considerable attention. It is also
suggested that the government
call a meeting of Catholics and
Protestants of the different sec
lions to discuss the plan with
each other.
NOTHING HEARD
FROM BEAR
IJp to the time going to
press nothing had been heard of
the Bear and the present where
abouts of the vessel is unknown.
From the looks of the ice there
is little chance that the cutter
could get in even if she were not
somewhere else just now. The ice
possibilities are rapidly becom
ing a matter of interest and then
are not afew who prophesy that
the boats will not be able to get
in before thc last of June. How
ever, a few windy days will prob
ablv start the far spreading floes
on their wavback to the Arctic.
As a usual thing the time of de
parture is not long delayed after
June i.
