Sinn Fein's Delays. (From Our Special Correspondent.) INVERNESS, SEPr. 6. Inverness is thronged, and is immnensely infterested in the Cabinet meeting to- morrow. The Prime Minister, with Mrs. Lloyd George, Sir Hamar Greenwood, and Sir 1evil Macready, accompanied by Sir Edward Grigg, motored fronm Gair- loch to Brahan Castle this afternoon, arriving soon after 6 o'clock. Lord FitzAlan and Sir Robert Horne passed through Inverness. and, with Mr. W'linston Churclhill, are also at' Brahan Castle, where, it is understood, a preliminary conference will take place this evening. The majority of the members of the Cabinet, however, are expected to arrive at 9.30 to-morrown morning on the through train from London, and will go to the Station Hotel, where 50 bedrooms have been reserved. It is understood that the Prime Minister will drive to-morrow morning to .IToy Hall to see the King before the Cabinet meeting. Brahan is 18 miles north of Inverness, and Moy is 12 mniles south. The Cabinet meeting, wlhich has been called for 11 o'clock, will be held in the Council Chamber of the Town Hall, an admirably suitable apartment, wlhere Queen Victoria in stained glass, flanked by Lord Salisbury, Lord Beaconsfield, Lord Rosebery, Mr. Gladstone, and others of her Prime Ministers, will look down on the meeting from the great Diamond Jubilee nindow. Another wall has a large painting of the Prince Consort in IIighland dress. In another apartment, ordinarily the smoking-room of the Town lIall, two long tables have been put up at which the Cabinet is expected to lunch. Many rumours are afloat here. Mr. Barton, the Sinn Fein courier, has come in fromn Gairloch, and is said to expect to receive the Govemment's answer to- morrow evening and take it away with him. It is also reported that other sub- jects besides Ireland will be considered, especially unemployment, but there seems to be no definite authority for this. Thc fact that bedrooms have been reserved over WVednesday night suggests the possi- bility of a second day's meeting. MINISTERS' JOURNEY. Mlfaniy members of the Cabinet were already in Scotland on holiday when the neeting was sumnmoned. Seven others- Lord Birkenhead, Mr. Austen Chamber- lain, Mr. Shortt, Sir Alfred Mond, Mr. MLontagu, Sir Arthur Griffith-13oscawen, and Dr. Maenamara-travelled to Inver- ness by train last night and will arrive about an hour before the hour fixed for the meeting. Major-General H. H. Tudor, Head of the Police Forces in Ireland, ac- companied them. Marquess Curzon of Kedleston is pre- vented by indisposition from attending the Cabinet meeting.
