Free State. The election of the presi- dent was one of the first acts of the new•Dail chosen in the recent election, which assembled for . the first time since the election. None of the Re- publicans elected to seats in' the Dail had appeared when the proceedings began. Professor Michael Hayes was re- elected Speaker of the Dail. A group of women staged a demon- stration''outside the Parliament House where the Dail sits. : They carried banners demanding the release of the Republicans held prisoner by the Free State and announcing that "Dan Breen is dying." During the Dail session Deputy Gorey, leader of the Farmers, who at present are assuming the attitude of the official Opposition party, advocat- ed the release of Eamonn de Valera and the other Republican deputies now in prison, so that the Republican party might have an opportunity to meet. and 'discuss its policy. President Cosgrave, in a vehement reply, refused ` to yield to what he characterized as sentimentalism and permit the entrance into the Dail of men whom he ° said had done their worst by violence and had ,failed. There must be some' evidence of 'a change of heart,''he added. The Dail appeared to sympathize with President Cosgrave's view and there was no challenge for a 'division, Streams Are Blocked Seeds Bill Made Effective Oct. 1 by Order -in -Council A despatch from Ottawa says:— An Order -in -Council has been issued bringing into effect on October 1 next the bill respecting the testing, inspec- tion and sale of seeds. which was passed last session.
