Irish synod called to gauge church stance on politics
The Episcopal bishops of Ireland request Lord Plunket to convene a synod on the 23d to seek the church’s expression on Ireland’s political situation. Charles Russell seeks knighthood at Buckingham Palace but leaves after the queen delays, reportedly irritated by home rule views. Reports cover Bradstreet credit failures, bank embezzlement cases, factory fires, a jailed arson attempt, and various legal actions across the United States and Britain.
