OVER BODY OF DEAD HUNGER-
STRIKER.
London, November 28. Remarkable scenes occurred at Cork on the arrival of the body of Deris Barry, the hunger-striker who died. It hndl teen arranged that tho body should lie in a Catholic Church overnight, but the Roman Catholic Bishop. Dr. Cohnlan. interdicted religions exercises on the ground that Republicanism in Ireland was a wicked and insidious attack on the .Church, whose law deprived of Christian burial anyone who took his own life. The remains were not allowed! to enter tho church, and were taken to the rooms of the Sinn Fein Executive.—Reuter.
