THE IRISH ENVOYS

Messrs. W. A. Redmond, M.P., and J. T. Donovan, the Irish envoys, had a most successful campaign in the Lismore diocese, in the principal centres of which they appealed for the Home Rule fund, and collected about £IOOO. Toward the end of May they returned to Sydney, and began a tour of the Western district at Bathurst on June 4. Dates for meetings during the whole of the current month have been arranged. In accordance with the resolution passed at the last monthy meeting of the United Irish League of South Australia, the executive forwarded by the last mail a draft for £BOO to Mr. J. E. Redmond, leader of the Irish Nationalist Party. This,. with £IOOO sent in December last, makes £IBOO sent away as the result of the three weeks' tour of the Irish envoys in that State After all expenses are paid a small balance will still remain m hand.

Tasmania's contribution to the Home Rule fund is expected to total nearly £530.
