hopeful,
as
result
of
yesterday’s
consultation
between
Mr.

and
several
of his minis-
ters at Gairloch.. Several ofthis morning’s
newspapers
reflected
this
view
and
re-
ports
from
political
correspondents
at
Gairloch generally
agreed
that
the Min-
ister showed
-a -more
rigid: attitude
teo-
ward Southern
Ireland.
It
is
declared
there isa tendency
on
the
part
of
the
Cabinet members,

to insist
that Eamonn

formally ‘withdraw his claim
that

urged

to

‘an urbending
attitude in the
face,
of
the
latest
Irish
eomrmun .cation,
andis
‘supported by
his
colleagues.
The
‘‘Times’’,
however,
remarks
that yesterday’s
meetir.g
scarce-
ly represented
all
shades
of opinion
in
the Govt. and
it
expresses
the
opinion
that for this reason
the
Premier
desires
to consult all
the
members
of
his
ecabi-
net before

at 4.13.
Cuba’s
were
un-
changed,
with the committee
still quot-
ing 34 cost and freight, equal
to 4.86
for
centrifugal,

firmness
in

led
to
scattered
coverning

raw

at mdday
showing
ad-
vances
of &to 14 points.
There
was
no
change
in refined,

The volume of business
was light.
Belfast,
Sept.
22nd.—There
was
a
scene
in the Ulster Parliament
this after-
noon
when Mr. William
Coote objected
to the estimates,
declaring-the
payment
of tte members
acting as secretaries
was
in the nature of a bribe to vote
with the
Govt.
‘‘That is verymnfair,
and
spite-
ful’’,
.
Sir
James
. Ctéaés,
the
Premier,
sharply rejoined.
‘‘God
forbid that any
Prime Minister or any yesponsible
person
would ream for a moment at this
time of
peril
for Ulster, that I onr
anybody
else
should be tied to
a certain policy.””
Mr.
Coote
declined to withdraw
his remark,
He isa
big Tyrone
mill
owner,
and
a
Grand Master Orangeman,
and
a
mem-
ber
of
its
deputation
to
the

in
the

Mannheim,
Sept.
22nd.— Desolation
and ruin
alone
remain
of what
was once
‘the flourist ing town of Oppau.
The
townr
had 6,600
residents,
of whom
a majority
of
the
men
engaged
in
the
chemical
works were killed and wounded.
Soldiers
in
French
uniforms
are
clearing away
the
wreckage
and
picking
up the dead
and
injured
as
after
a
big
battle,
and
eleven hundred
dead,
and four hundred
injured
are the
latest
estimated
casua'
ties.
The desolation arnund Oppau equals
anything
seen
at Verdun
or in Flanders
over
a
similar
area.
Hundreds
of per-
sons
are digging in the ruins for the bod-
ies of relatives
or friends, nearly
a thous-
and
of
which
have been recovered
thus
far.
The
vast
crater
is
slowly filling
with
water,
and it may
never be known
how
many
victims found
a grave
there.
The firemen and relief
workers have
not
been
able
to discard
their gas
masks.
