YELLOW PRESS INVENTION.

THE CARDINAL LOGUE INTERVIEW.

A COMPLETE DENIAL.

LONDON, June 14. Cardinal Logue, Archbishop of Armagh, and Roman Catholic Primate of Ireland, who has returned to Ireland from America, declares that the interview cabled from New York, giving utterance to views as to the hopeless position of the British Empire, is a pure invention. 'lhe Cardinal asserts that he never stated, as reported, that Australia and New Zealand were on the verge of rebellion, and had never referred to India. He admitted having once stated in a New York draTjingroom that when Great Britain became old and infirm she would be likely to receive her coup dc grace from the Irish subjects whom she was sending to foreign lands, and who weut with vengeance in their hearts.

Acording to the interviewer, Cardinal Logue said he saw signs of Great Britain's certain dissolution. "The colonies," he went on, "are restive; Australia to-day is practically independent, and the trend of every movement is more and more in the direction of absolute, rebellion. New Zealand is indifferent, and Canada is legislating in a manner that shows her desire to conduct her business in her own way. The fires of rebellion have been lighted in India, and men and women have been hanged for daring to advocate the doctrine of neverdying freedom. When England sits alone as the result of misgovernment, it will be a day of reckoning for the children of Ireland."
