Vancouver
on Monday.
Dr.
Powell
was
one of
the
men responsible
for {he
ex-
posure
of the conspiracy,
and
in'an
in-
terview
whica
he
gave
before
leaving
the coast here,
he reiterated
the assertion
that the dangerloutlined
is not yet passed.
-After referring
-to:an alleged
Sinn
Fein-
ers’ pivt to assassimate
King George,
Dr.
Poweli declared that this danger and the
menace
to the Brizish
throne
did
not ori-
ginate amoung
the Sin: Feiners,
but among
British politicians,
men of boundiess
am-
bition.
_There
was
a
huge
republican
plot, Dr. Powell said,
hatched
during the
war with the idea of seizing
a favourable
_mom nt for the
depsiticn
of the
King
and
che proclamaiion oia republic.
The
President
was
elected,
and the
whole
scheme
was rip2.
It was
overthrown
by
* a group of whom
1 had
the
honour
to be
one.
We realized
that
tne proclamation
of a republic would
be equivalent
to tak-
ing tne keystone
{rom the Imperial Arch-
way,
the
whole fabric would have
drop-
ped to pieces.
We
took
vigoreus
steps
to warn the King, and
to point out to the
nation
the sinister
character
of the
con-
spiracy.
The result
was
its total eclipse
from that time, but
the conspirators
are
still
anxious
to effect
their
aim.
This
is the reason
why
the revolationary
ele-
ment-1s
fostered
among
us.

London,

former Viceroy of

in
a letter
to
a

paper
strongly advocates

sion.
He
strongly
urges
a
reversal
of

present policy, and advocated
consenting
to
the suggested
Irish consii-

believing that if
an

is given all Irishmen
to consid-
er the ‘'Full and

agreement
may
be
worked
out.
He concludes
with
a strong appeal
for
Lord

MacSweeney,
who, he
says,
if allowed to succumb
to starvation,
will undoubtedly
be regarded
by miliions
of
persons
as
