SPORADIC DISTURBANCES.
POLICE ARMED WITH SERVICE
REVOLVERS
O'BRIEN AS PACIFICATOR,
LONDON, Sept. 1. Sporadic disturbances have occurred at Londonderry and Cheshore. The police were in readiness and were equipped with service revolvers. There was some firing by civilians, and a man named O'Neil was seriously wounded. The police kept the opposing factions apart. Mr William O'Brien, speaking at the All for Ireland demonstration at Skibberen, urged a policy of rational reconciliation and peace. The task for the Irish Parliament, he said, was all but desperate and it would be impossible unless Protestant hostility was mitigated and the Unionists in England persuaded to drop deliberately fomenting civil -war until the general election.
