HOME RULE MEETING AT KENDAL A crowded Home Rule meeting was held in St. George’s Hall, Kendal, yesterday evening. Mr.T.P. O’Connor, M.P., speaking in support of a resolution expressing unabated confidence in the remedial Irish policy advocated by Mr. Gladstone, said it was a singular fact that the Tories and Liberal Unionists made very much of the charges brought by The Times against the Irish party so long as the latter took no notice of them; but that immediately that party showed the least intention of meeting the charges and putting them to the test of proof, their opponents found their courage oozing out at their fingers’ ends. As soon as the Irish party had an opportunity of proving that the charges were false, the whole tune and tone of the Unionists changed, and they declared that the charges were trifling and unimportant. With reference to the cry that Home Rule would lead to separation, he said that the Irish leaders had pledged themselves to a frank, candid, and honest acceptance of Mr. Gladstone’s policy, which provided for a subordinate Parliament. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES Sir, — Surely the time has come to grant Home Rule to Ireland — to let the Irish people out from under the heavy paw of the British Lion. After decades of violence we should realise that continued resistance to an idea whose time has come can only result in more violence. Boycotts and assassinations will not cease through an endless progression of Acts of Coercion, Land or Arrears. We can only hope that the Lion will soon release its prey — a prey which would certainly prove more valuable if not completely devoured. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Dirken Topper 29, Brook Street, Grosvenor Square TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES Sir, — Having agonised on what it takes to have you print one of my many critical missives, 1 have changed my tack to say how much 1 love everything — even The Times. Geoffrey Worleson RECENT EXCAVATIONS IN EGYPT At the London University College on Wednesday afternoon, before an appreciative audience, Dr. Ebenizer Turnbull delivered a lecture, which dealt with the history of excavations, and the method by which they may most profitably be conducted. Dr. Turnbull and archaeologists James Windibank and Andrew Weatherby are embarking this week on a new Egyptian expedition, excavating Katebet’s Tomb at the head of the Valley of the Kings near Karnak and Luxor. Saturday’s lecture was illustrated by photographs thrown on a screen by the electric light which showed vividly and distinctly not only the work done at its various stages, but the modus operandi, the conditions under which work of this character must be carried on, and the instruments necessary for the purpose, and enabled those present to realise that, in classical study as in the sciences, there is an ample field of experiment and discovery open to the individual. Dr. Turnbull prefaced his lecture by an explanation of the real objects of these excavations. In these days, whatever might have given the first stimulus to such efforts, the primary motive was certainly not to find and keep treasure, any more than it was the aim of the astronomer to possess a star. The modern archaeologist was as little to be confounded with the treasure-seeker as the mineralogist was with the gold miner. His aim must be to restore to life the monuments of bygone times, to bring vividly before us the various phases of ancient societies, whether civilised or uncivilised.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH Shortly after 9 o’clock yesterday morning the body of a man about 30 years of age was found lying in St. Georges Road, Southwark. A short time previously the deceased, a sailor, supposed to be the captain of a sailing ship, was seen being led in the direction where the body was found by two women and a man. The body had been robbed, even to gold earrings which the man had been observed to have been wearing. Two women of ill fame and a man described as a labourer, but known to be the associate of bad characters, have been taken into custody on suspicion of having caused the sailor’s death. There were no wounds on the body, and it is supposed that an overdose of some drug had been administered. APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC— The investigators of Scotland Yard have appealed to the public for any information on the recent disturbances in Whitechapel. Anonymity guaranteed. MR. GLADSTONE Mr. Gladstone has sent the following reply to the address in favour of Home Rule presented to him and signed by clergymen of the Church of England: — 7 James Street, SW, Aug. 14 My dear Mr. Dean, — I have had the honour to receive the letter addressed to me by a body of more than 250 clergymen of the Church of England, who in it have strongly expressed their approval of the policy of Home Rule for Ireland. I rejoice to perceive in this list so many names, besides your own, distinguished for sound judgement and wide practical experience, for learning and ability, for self-denying and devoted service. Other names are known to me of distinguished men who, without concurring in every phrase of this letter, agree heartily in its cardinal proposition, or who, having no scruple as to any of its expressions, have shrunk from exposing themselves and their familiar, or the work they have in hand, to the consequences of a public declaration of this kind consequences known to me in more than one painful instance. I entertain a lively hope that reflection and further information as to many odious proceedings now carried on in Ireland and thinly covered (as has for centuries been the estimated practice) by the desecrated names of law and order will greatly widen among the estimated clergy that which they have already so much widened among our countrymen at large the conviction that no honour and no advantage can be gained by a continued refusal to accede to the moderate and constitutionally expressed demands of the Irish people. I remain, with much regard, faithfully yours, W.E. GLADSTONE Very Rev. the Dean of Winchester. ACCIDENT ON DOCKS Barry O’Neill, lion tamer for Roy Slade’s Wild African Extravaganza, was injured yesterday as the show was being unloaded at the London docks. It is unfortunate that the spectacle, which will beat Hengler’s Circus, will be opening tonight without one of its top-billed acts. Mr. Slade assured us, however, that the show will be “buzzing with excitement,” as always. PRESIDENT CARNOT Paris, August 16 President Carnot arrived here at 5 o’clock this evening.
