The House of Com mons tonight entered on a series of Irish debates. When the estimates for Ireland came up 'for discussion, John Redmond, chairman of the Irish Parliamentary par ty moved the reduction of the salary of the -Chief Secretary, George "Wyndham. Mr. Redmond maintained that Mr. "Wynd ham had done nothing for the country, and that 'the Irish problem was more dan gerous to the Empire today than it had been lor a Quarter of a century. Mr. "Wyndham, In refuting this asser tion, declared that he could at present offer no constructive policy, and main tained that there could be no cessation of agrarian strife, no revival of Industry and no stanching of the flow of emigra tion, and that the Idea of home rule was impossible even to those who cherished It, unless and until the desolation pro cesses of social proscription and the mias ma of fear which penetrated and para lyzed every nerve of national life- were repudiated by the good sense of the people and repressed by the power of the Gov ernment. Mr. "Wyndham's accusation that T. W. Russell, Liberal-Unionist member for South Tyrone, palliated disorder during the De Freyne evictions, brought out a heated denial from Mr. Russ'ell, and long exchanges between himself and Mr. Wyndham. Mr. Russell declared that only a man who had sold himself body and soul to the landlords and evlctors would dare make such an accusation. Dealing nith the formation of the Irish land trust. Mr. Russell said it would provoke a war, the end of which no man could foresee. RUSSIA AXD TRUST QUESTION. De Wittc's Xote on the Proponed Convention. ST. PETERSBURG, Wednesday, July 9. American business men In Russia are disposed to take a hopeful view of the Russo-Amerlcan tariff dispute, now that Finance Minister de "Witte .has an nounced to the signatory powers of the Brussels sugar convention that Russia intends to oppose the application of this convention unfavorably to Russian in terests. If Russia intends to persist In an absurd position they are pleased with the prospect of the conflict being ex tended to other countries. The repetition of H. de Wltte's arguments, to prove that Russli has not forced the exportation of sugar by the Joint operation of excise rebates and complete domination of every feature of the sugar industry, does not add to their force. The closing passage of the note Js, how ever, of Interest as showing that M. de Wltte persists in his conjunction of the sugar premium and the trust questions. Perhaps anticipating that the Russian Rnvprnmrat -will later tiroceed to control the nationalization of other branches of Industry, say tobacco, he lays down the following as Russia's policy: "Even If it were proved that an Inter vention of this kind (referring to the sugar relations) on the part of the Gov ernment In the conditions of an indus try Is injurious to the Interests of inter national commerce, or even that such a protection of domestic prices Interferes with the free course of international competition, the Russian Government would willingly take part with other powers In a discussion of measures to paralyze the divers means of Influencing the International market. "However, It would not be disposed towards an entente on this point unless the question were posed In Its widest sense, that is to eay, until not only the results of direct governmental measures, such as the establishment of premiums and the regulation of production, but also the Importance of various governments pntered Into the discussion and unless the convention had -for Its object not only Eugar, but also other products of Impor tance In the contemporary International market. In taking this position the Im perial Gpvernment hopes that the for eign governments will not refuse to And In the policy here outlined its entire willingness to take part in every collec tive action of the powers which was aimed to protect the international prices of sugar and other merchandise against artificial depression." If M. de Witte were not a very great man he would perhaps hesitate to send to nine more or less considerable powers a note couched in language that could possibly be regarded as Ironical. Powers Univllllnsr to Interfere. VIENNA July 24. It is stated that the diplomatic negotiations between the sign atories of the Brussels sugar convention regarding the Russian anti-trust proposal are being continued. According to the Fremdenblatt, Germany and some other powers are not unwilling to join in an other conference with Russia for the dis cussion of the sugar question, but are averse to interfering with the general question of trusts, it being pointed out that Russia has made no attempt to be gin at home, where are the great petro leum and Iron trusts. England Still Considering;. ( LONDON, July 23. Replying to a ques tion in the House of Commons today the Premier, A. J. Balfour, said the Imperial Government was still considering its re ply to Russia's suggestion regarding an International trust conference, but it was impossible as yet to announce Great Brit ain's attitude on the subject- Botha and Delarey at Cape Town. CAPE TOWN, July 23. Generals Botha and Delarey, who started from Pretoria Monday on their way to Europe, arrived here today and were met at the railway station by large crowds. At a meeting beld in the Dutch Reformed Church la ter, in thanking those" present for the welcome extended to them. General Botha said he wished to impress upon his hearers the necessity for working hand In hand with the British, as South Africa was the only country they could call home. General Delarey said the Boers had burled their Mausers and their flag, but not their traditions. How De More "Was Killed. TUNIS, July 23. The trial at Susa, near here, of the murderers of the Mar quis de Mores, who was killed near Gabes, in June, 1896, was resumed today and several witnesses who had been cited by the government were heard. Their testimony eventually went to prove that the murder was committed by Tourages, who hate the French. The deposition of an Arab, who died a year ago, was read. According to this depo sition, when the Tourages heard that the Marquis de Mores was, coming, they held a meeting and discussed wbether they should help the Marquis, repel him or kill him, and it was unanimously decided that he should be killed. The Marquis de Mores, though severely wounded, held the Arabs at bay for several hours with his revolver, and was finally killed by an at tack from the rear. Less Interest In Coronation. NEW YORK. July 23. Overzealous po lice officials will not secure the removal of the Canadian arch as a public nuisance from Whitehall, says a London dispatch to the Tribune. The coronation committee of the City of "Westminster has authorized Commissioner Preston to redecorate the arch and illuminate It on coronation night. Otherwise there will be no public scheme of decoration for the. streets, in accord with King Edward's wishes. There is no sign of a revival of specu lative activity in the sale of seats, nor will it be possible to obtain high prices without a guarantee of a return of the money In the event of a second postpone ment. There will be a large number of ab sentees among the Peers at the Abbey service. Many are without houses In Lon don and are frightened by the cost of. liv ery for coronation day, since they cannot drive to the Abbey in cabs, but must go in splendid state. It is reported that the King will not return to London before August 7, and that he will return to Cowes two days after the coronation. American Invnslon of England. NEW YORK. July 23. Reports that con trolling interests in several cotton-spln-ing companies In the Ashton and Staly Brldge Districts of Lancashire, England, are being sought by American capitalists, are, according to the Tribune, due to a pleasure trip made by several men inter ested in cotton mills in New England who were going, in company, through England and were invited to inspect some of the mills in the Lancashire districts. After they had looked through several, they agreed that the methods were Infe rior to those In New England. They agreed that there was great lack In economic measures, and thought it would be a good plan to acquire Interests in some mills and introduce American business meth ods. The experiment will be watched with great interest by cotton goods manufac turers. Methodists Buy Site for Great Hall. LONDON. July 23. Robert William Perks. M. P., treasurer of the Methodist Million Guineas fund, announced today that the Methodists had secured the Royal Aquarium Theater property, facing West minster Aboey, on which they would build a great hall, which is to be called the "Central Headquarters of Universal Meth odism." The price paid was 330,000. The ground comprises 2 acres, and on It also stands Mrs. Langtry's Imperial Theater. It is probable that arrangements will be made by which the Imperial Theater will remalrf where it is, though It may be transformed into an annex of the church house, the building of which is expected to commence early in 1903. Since it was opened In 1676, the Aquarium has been a famous place of amusement for Lon doners. Russia's VI err of Philippine Question ST. PETERSBURG, July 23. In a lead ing article on American affairs the Jour nal de St. Petersburg, which Is edited by the Foreign Office observes: t "So the President admits the possibility of the Independence of the Philippines? This would doubtless be an Independence wholly complete, but limited by some re strictions like those imposed on Cuba, that is, a wide protectorate with the right to occupy several naval stations. It is assuredly the wisest course. Its complete accomplishment is still dis tant, but the announcement would please the Filipinos and would give them an In centive to work in accord with the Ameri cans In the development of their coun try." The Dead Cardinal. ROME, July 23. The remains of Car dinal LedochowskI, who died here yester day, were laid in state this morning in the chapelle ardente of the Palace of the Propaganda, where they were sub sequently visited by all the members of the Sacred College. The chapelle ardente is now open to the public The Piazza dl Spagna is crowded with people, in cluding many American pilgrims, eager to obtain admission. Letters and tele grams of regret are pouring In from all quarters. The grief of Poland, Cardinal Ledochowskl's native country, amounts to almost a national demonstration, the dead cardinal having been persona non grata to Russia and Germany on ac count of his advocacy of Polish inde pendence.

He spent the afternoon in an Invalid's chair on the open deck. Tnere is every indication of His Majesty's continued progress toward complete re covery. Truth says that Emperor Will lam's visit to King Edward will be brief and strictly private, the German Emperor sailing from Kiel on the Imperial yacht Hohenzollern, August 2, and remaining at Cowes during regatta week, when the schooner yacht Meteor III will compete for the King's cup.

Nationalists Join the Clericals In Engineering: the Agitation Much Sympathy for Nuns. PARIS, July 23. Disturbances continue as a sequel to yesterday's clerical out breaks as protests against the govern ment's enforcement of the law against unauthorized congregations. It now ap pears that 300 persons were arrested and numerous prosecutions are pending, al though the majority of the prisoners were released. Fresh meetings to pro test in favor of the religious orders are expected to be held while the RaUIcal and Socialist papers are urging the Re publicans to meet at the Pantheon as a counter demonstration. A serious disturbance occurred at 10:30 o'clock this evening from the terrace at the Cafe de Musee de Clunlc The police cleared the cafe. Several persons were injured and 5 arrests were made. Some disorderly meetings of Catholics were held during the course of the evening, resulting in scuffles and the making of arrests. The agitation recalls to some extent the scenes enacted when when M. Ferrl, then Premier, expelled the Jesuits, In 1SS0. Demonstrations In favor of the nuns and of the teaching friars are taking place In Paris and many places in the provinces where the prefects presented themselves at the schools and ordered that the insti tutions be closed. Up to the present, how ever, no serious Incident has been record ed. The Nationalists have Joined the Cler icals In engineering the agitation, and their leaders are in the forefront of the effervescence in Paris. Much sympathy has been worked up on behalf of the nuns and their schools have been made particu lar objects of demonstrations. The Cler icals called upon their sympathizers to meet outside of the school conducted by the Sisters of St. Vincent de Paul, In the northeast quarter of Paris, which was closed this afternoon, and a great crowd gathered there, compelling a large body of police and mounted municipal guards to form a cordon in the streets leading to the school. A few trifling collisions oc curred between the Clericals and counter demonstrators, who replied to the Clerical cries of "Long live the good Sisters" and "Vive la liberte," with "Down with the priests" and "Long live the republic" A Nationalist member of the Chamber of Deputies was arrested while trying to force his way through the police, cordon, but was subsequently released. Anti-Clerical meetings in the Latin quar ter this evening led to some effervescence, but no noteworthy disorder. Troubles of a similar nature occurred at several other points. Against these incidents, however, must be set off the addresses In support of the government voted by many municipal councils. While much sympathy Is felt with the Sisters personally. Premier Combes undoubtedly feels that he is sup ported by the mass of the people, and Is not likely to recede from the position he has taken. POLISH AGITATION SERIOUS. Emperor "William Advised Not to Visit Posen During Maneuvers. BERLIN.. July 23,-Court Chamberlain MorawaskI, a Polish landed magnate, has appealed to Emperor William not to visit Posen during the army maneuvers to be held In September, as His Majesty has planned to do. The Chamberlain fears that some Polish fanatic might attempt to harm the Emperor. Racial feeling is described as at fever heat, and several Berlin journals take the view that it would be unwise for the Emperor to ex pose himself unnecessarily. It is scarcely likely that Emperor Will Jam will act upon the Chamberlain's ap peal, because His Majesty never bermtts himself to change his plans on account or the timidity of his advisers. He goes everywhere he thinks duty calls him, and, besides, it is his purpose to declare the government's Polish policy while in Polish territory, and. his giving up of personal supervision of the maneuvers would be unprecedented. The Poles In Gallcla enjoy local self government and press privileges, which are not in vogue in Prussian Poland, and continual contrasts are made in the Aus trian press between the conditions exist ing In Gallcla and the Province of Po sen that annoy this government and tend to weaken the triple alliance. POVERTY OP RUSSIAN PEASANTS. Government Regards the Question With Keen Anxiety. LONDON, July 24. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Times, dealing with the commission appointed to inquire into the depression of the agricultural popu lation, says: "The government regards the question with the keenest anxiety and there are Indications that the leading Ministers are prepared to consent to sweeping changes in the fiscal policy, and even In the in ternal organization of the country. If it be proved that such changes are neces sary to obviate the danger of starvation among the discontented peasantry'. Rus sian opinion is divided as to the causes of the depression. Many fixed a large share of the responsibility upon M. de Witte. Minister of Finance, who, they claim, artificially stimulates and encour ages the Industries and starves the agri cultural interests, which are and must remain the mainstay of the country. These critics point to the paltriness of the sums devoted from the enormous budget to agriculture and commerce. All the witnesses examined agreed that the Initiative must come from above and be accompanied by the extensions of peas ant education." American Capital Acceptable. LONDON. July 23. Sir Charles Dllke, M. P., advanced Radical, answering a suggestion that Parliament inquire into the increasing Inroads made by Ameri can combines in Great Britain, writes that while special circumstances make the acquisition of British shipping by for eigners deserving of public attention, he falls to see any reason why the invest ment of American capital In other indus tries should be discouraged. Changes In the Drelband. VIENNA. July 23. It Is announced in well-Informed quarters that Important modifications were made at the time or the renewal of the drelbund. Italy, it is said.

Cholera Raging In Manchuria. LONDON, July 23. Denying a rumor that Dr. Leyds, who was the European agent of the Transvaal, was returning to South Africa, Mr. Chamberlain, the Colo nial Secretary, made the Important an nouncement today that all those not of African birth who had fought against the British would not be allowed to return to South Africa.

Contribution! Received Yesterday Amounted to ?5S,XJo. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 23. Secre tary Wilson, of the United MIneworkers, today received a check for J50.000 from the strike fund of the Illinois organiza tion. The Illinois miners have within four weeks given the National organiza tion $100,000 for the strike fund, and still have nearly $300,000 In Teserve. This do nation. It Is said. Is the largest ever re ceived for a strike. Secretary Wilson has received notice that Individual checks for as much as 51000 are now on their way to headquarters, indicating that the ap peal to the public for funds has been ef fective. Secretary Wilson says no attempt will be made to pay the anthracite strikers stipulated sums of money weekly. "Our Intention," said he.

Word was received at headquar teri from President Samuel Gompers. of the American Federation of Labor, that the executive council of that organiza tion, which is In session at San Fran cisco, has Indorsed the appeal of the mlneworkers for financial aid.
