IRISH DIPLOMAT COMING
SECRETARY TO LORD LIEUTEN
ANT OF IRELAND WILL SPEND
MONTH IN AMERICA.
Dublin Oct. 10. Sir Anthony Pat
rick MacDonnell under secretary of
tho lord lieutenant of Ireland sailed
today for Now York Ho will spend
about a mouth In tho United State
visiting first tho Now England states
after which ho will become tho guest
of Ireland and will doubtless bo proud
sudor at Washington
It Is stated that tho visit of tho
under secretary to tho United States
has no' political or diplomatic bear-
ing but ho will meet many men of
Intlueuco Interested In tho welfare
of Ireland and will doubtless epxound
the merits of the Irish policy.
It I well known timt Sir Anthony
Is responsible for the devolution Idea
and the principal feature of tho
Irish council bill and It was his
confident hope that tho country
would Insist on tho Irish party ac
cepted the measure. He persuaded
the chiefs of government to this ef-
fect nnd was much charglned by
the rejection of the bill by tho Irish
national convention.
Thu strength of action shown by
tho party Is attributed by Sir An-
tonv to assurances of suptKirt re
ceived by It at ho critical moment
from America and Australia and con
sequently If American opinion on
thu devolution policy modified the
change would ho highly welcomed
to the under secretary. Although his
visit to tho United States Is to bo
private Sir Antony will doubtless
explain the reasons of his policy to
such politicians of Influence as ho
may chance to meet.
At tho present time tho devolu
tion Idea Is outside the item oi
practical politics but William O'llrlen
In a recent speech at Cork advocated
the Irish council bill as- a measure
which will have given three-fourths
of the Irish government Into the
hands of Irishmen thus reviving the
hopes of tho supporters of tho bill.

SHOT IN DRUNKEN ROW.
Unknown Man Receives a Bullet
Wound in Head.
An unknown man was shot In the
head at lied Knrk Saturday night by
one of a drunken mob that was oc-
iuping thu smoker on train 130 on
the FrI.co. Tho train was held up at
Hed Kork on arcount of the wreck
and this molt had several quarts of
whisky with them which they got In
Tulsa as that's where they got on
the Unlit.
The fights between any two of
them were numerous and one free-fur-all
occurred when the mob pull-
ed up seats knocked out window
lights cursed and jelled until It
was plainly audible to tho peoplu
In thu next car.
Thu railroad employes were very
conspicuous by their absence nnd
only once did they summon up
enough nerve to ta'ckle any part of
the mob and that happened when
the fight overlapped the territory
of the smoker and extended Into
tho chair car. Then one of the em
ployes meekly asked the combatants
to kindly enter the prize ring In
the next car ahead.
The bunch got off for a few min-
utes at Hed Vork and this Is where
the man was shot. Ills Injury Is
slight and ho will be himself In a
few da) s.
Strange to say there Is a humorous
part to this story. The Injured man
after receiving nioiTicnl attention
came back to the train and reclined !
on his chair with his bead In the
lv oimoslto this window and when
t wt.nt ofr the. Injured man Jumped
clear Into thu alslu and exclaimed
