"The people who live in tills com

Londen, Dee. 7. King (Jem-go to

Approximately ,'1400 interned persons

by the Iri-h office.
The following announcement was
made from Downing street
"In view of the agreement signed
yesterday between the British nnd Irish
delegations Ills Majesty has appre) ed
the release forthwith of all Irish In
terned under Article XIV. -B. of the
Restoration of Order in Ireland Act.
distinctions te this effect have been
given."
Advices received here today from Bel
fast are te the effect that Sir James
Craig, the CNter Premier, told the
I'lster Parliament he did net think It
expedient te make any statement with
regard te the details of tin; new Irish
proposals. He said tiii-re were am
biguities here and (here in the docu
ment, and that he desired ineie time te
study its previsions.
He said he did net believe settlement
nnd peace weultl be furthered by rush
ing tactics, and added that there would
be a part) meeting tomorrow, after
which, if his colleagues mi desired, he
weultl cress te Ionden in order te bring
p te a very definite point some of these
questions which seemed te him te re
quire explanation.
Sir .ranies strongly criticized Lord
Chancellor Birkenhead's reference In his
speech nt Birmingham yesterday te tlie
action of the CNter Parliament in
Tyrene, and warned the imperial niin
isters ui'tiliist "irritating the CNter
Beynlists" by such speeches at these
of Lord Birkenhead.
The Premier Is said te have sent the
following message today te Latlv Craig,
who Is at Bathciland. County Dewn:
"It new appears te nie that peace
' may possibly be within sight, if all work I
i together te thnt cud with patience nnd
goeil will." '
' It is certain that the treaty will un-
derge heart hing examination before re
ceiving tlie approval of CNter. and j
ninny modifications undoubtedly will be
proposed. Her consent, however. Is net
necessary ns. under the treaty terms,
she is given tlie option of i-ini'uiug her
present status, after revision of her
boundaries b ya cmnmisslen.
Favorable action h tin I nil Illreann I

re-enacted some of the preliminaries of
the head-en collision in which two
trnlns of wooden cars mingled their
splinters nnd mangled and then cre
mated their passengers.
Imcstjgnters from the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the Stnte
Public Service saw this reconstruction
'of the eu-nts which preceded the wreck.
The special train, which left the
Beading Teriniunl at 0 :1." o'clock, con-
' sisted of an "observation engine,"
rigged up with special seats for tbc in
