DETROIT, March 20. Robert Leeland,
an actor and writer of several melo
dramas, was found dead today In his
room In a lodging-house on Columbia
street He had committed suicide by
stuffing up every crack and crevice In
the room and then turning on the gas.
Leeland, who was 30 years of age, is said
by one of his friends to be the son of a
wealthy banker in Salt Lake City, Utah,
named Smedley.
Leeland was last seen alive last Thurs
day morning, and it Is believed he turned
on the gas and died Thursday afternoon.
Ills preparations hod been most carefuL
He even removed the tip from the gas
Jet to insure a rapid flow. He left a note
on the table in the room saying:
"My only request is that I be burled
lierp at the expense of the city. I have
no money. I have spent many hundreds
of dollars while hore as a member of
various theatrical companies. Don't
notify my parents. It Is unnecessary."-
On the back of this note he had writ
ten that weakness and illness as the re
sult of an operation for appendicitis and
an attack of typhoid fever had incapaci
tated him for work.
"I am very well connected," he wrote,
"probably better than any one In the
theatrical professional. Last season I
played a leading role In 'The Chaper
ones.' "

SALT LAKE, March 20. Robert Lee
land's real name is William .Burns Smed
ley. He is the son of William E. Smed
ley, a wealthy banker and insurance man

in Leavenworth, Kan., in 1S74, but spent
most of his youth here. He was edu
cated in an Eastern medical school, but
was obliged to give up hie profession
because of 111 health. Some years ago
he attended a military academy at
Poughkeepsie, X. Y.. with the intention
of entering West Point. He soon left

The principal damage appears to have
been done to the oonnliu? tower, which

It has been ascertained that the sub

wLl be salvaged first by repairing and
then filling it with compresed air, the

having cojnpelled a suspension of the at

The disaster to the Ko. A 1 has created
a most painful impression in all classes.
Queen Alexandra, the Duke of Connaught

messages of sympathy to the relatives of
the victims. Admiral Fisher, in an offi

says:
"Practically our gallant comrades died
In action. Their lives were not thrown

Williams Makes His Flop on Bristow
Report Occasion to Tell a Story.
ORBGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, March -20. One of the funny inci
dents In the recent eruption In the House
fit Representatives, occurring at the time
of the" publication of the Bristow report,
was the complete flop made by Represen
tative Cooper, of Wisconsin. The first
day of the discussion Mr. Cooper made a
brief speech in the House, in which he
stated that he seriously objected to having
his name brought before the country along
with that of A, W. Machen, a convicted
felon, then on his way to the peniten
tiary, and said no member of the House
of Representatives whose name appeared
In the Bristow report had the right to
stand up and ask for a moment's delay
upon the Hay resolution for the Investiga
tion of the Postoffice Department.
Two days later, after President Roose
velt had taken a hand and assisted the
House leader In outlining a plan which
would shut off any hasty and Improvident
action, Mr. Cooper made another speech,
in which he declared that General Bris
tow In his report had not assailed the
Integrity of any man in the House of
Representatives, and added that no man
was Justified In making assault upon the
Fourth Assistant Postmaster - General.
This change in attitude brought forth
hisses from the Democratic side, and Rep
resentative Williams, the Democratic
leader, took occasion to tell a story at
Mr. Cooper's expense. Mr. Williams'
story was as follows:
"I have about come to the conclusion
that the gentleman Is very much in the
fix of my old friend Uncle Martin Stubble
field. One day Uncle Marlin spoke of a
certain family of people up In the northern
part of my county as being fellows with
tusks, that rooted in the ground, and ate
acorns, and wore no clothes, and 'warn't
no folks.'
"Soon after that a great, big, strapping
son of the head of that family, with two
six-shooters, came in and said to Uncle
Marlin: 'I understand, sir, you have said
my father 'was a hog.'
"The old man measured up the six
shooters, measured up the size of the
fellow who accosted him. Just as my
friend has? measured up the size of the
White House this evening. Uncle Marlin,
as I said, looked at the fellow's size, and
then said:
" 'Whoever told you that Is a liar. All I
said was this: That he rooted In the
ground, that he didn't wear no clothes,
and that he warn't no folks! Now, you
can make the most of that. If you choose,
but I'll swear I never sold he was a hog."
"Mr. Bristow has not wild that any of
you are hogs; he has not said any of you
were corrupt. He has said that you have
induced corruption In the Postoffice De
partment, and back of that he means, if
he means anything, that you knew you
were Inducing It when you did It, and that
you 'exerted undue Influence.' He has
given all the descriptions of a hog, by
which descriptions every man would know
a. hoc If he saw him, or If he had ever
seen one before, but he declines to say In
haec verba that you are hogs."

LONDON, March 20. The Stock Ex

terms of the Irish land purchase act, is

Business during the week continued to

The American market was fairly strong

Secretary of Interior Will Gather In
. formation for Next Session
of Congress.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, March 19. A great deal of im
portance attaches to the act of Con
gress recently signed by the President
for the relief of settlers on lands in
Shefman County. Oregon. This bill
opens the way to. ultimate legislation
for the payment of claims of settlers
who entered upon lands Included with
in the overlap limits of the grants made
to the Northern Pacific Railroad and
The Dalles Military Wagon Road Com
pany in Sherman County. Congress
called upon the Interior Department for
Information upon which to base legis
lation for. the payment of Just claims
of Sherman County settlers, but the, in
formation furnished was not of such
character as would warrant the pass
age of a general relief bllL
Through tho efforts of Representa
tive Williamson and Senator Mitchell
a new bill was recently passed direct
ing the Secretary of the Interior to in
vestigate and ascertain the names of
all settlers who entered upon the lm-.
proved lands within the conflicting lim
its of these two grants, and who have
since been dispossessed of their lands
under the decision of the Supreme
Court holding that these lands, upon
the forfeiture of the Northern Pacific
grant, reverted to The Dalles Military
Road Company. Prior to this decision
it had been held by the department
that the disputed lands, on the forfeit
ure of the Northern Pacific grant, be
came a part of the public domain, and
It was due to this conception on the
part of the department that settlors
were allowed to enter upon these lands,,
only to be deprived of their homes by
the subsequent ruling: of the court.
In addition to reporting names of set
tlers In Sherman County who have suf
fered as a result of the Supreme
Court's decision, the Secretary Is to
ascertain tho dates when these settlers
located upon Sherman County lands,
when they were dispossessed of their
lands, and in all cases where any of
these settlers aro still In possession of
the lands claimed by them, the Secre
tary is to ascertain the reasonable
value of the land and the Improvements
thereon. He will also ascertain wheth
er any of the settlers have purchased
from The Dalles Company or from Its
successor, the Eastern Oregon Land
Company, their right to the lands so
settled upon, and the amounts paid by
such. settlers to the wagon road com
pany.
One of the most Important features
of the new law, however, provides that
the Secretary of the Interior shall as
certain what price and on what terms
the Eastern Oregon Land Company will
relinquish to tho settlers the lands
claimed by them, together with the Im
provements thereon. All of those facts
are to be submitted to Congress at the
next session.
It Is the purpose of Representative
Williamson, when the Secretary's re
port Is at hand, o Introduce a bill
which will make a sufficient appropria
tion to enable the Sherman County set
tlers to either purchase from the East
ern Oregon Land Company tho tracts
which they entered, on the assumption
that they were obtaining public land.
or which will compensate these set
tlers for the losses sustained through
no fault of their own. in case the com
pany will not sell. The claim of Sher
man County settlers for relief Is a Just
one, for all the entries which were
cancled under tho decision of the Su
preme Court were made with the ap
proval of the Interior Department, the
department having assumed that the
lands referred to became a part of the
public domain upon the forfeiture of
tho Northern Pacific grant. The de
partment was in error In so holding,
because there was no Justification ot
law for the belief that the grant to
The Dalles Military Wagon Road Com
pany did not hold good.
Nothing Is list by the delay In secur
ing this information from the Interior
Department, for at the present time it
would not be posslblo to secure tho
nassage of a bill which would pay the
claims of Sherman settlers. While the
amount Involved is not believed to be
excessive. Republican leaders are now
trying to hold up all claims of this
sort. Just prior to the National cam
paign. From facts that are now avail
able, it is estimated that an appropria
tion of between $250,000 and $300,000
will have to be made to quiet the
claims of Sherman County settlers. The
exact amount cannot be determined un
til tho report of the Secretary of tho
Interior Department Is available.

Correspondent Replies on Behalf of
Race of "Assassins."
PORTLAND, March 18. To the Editor.)
The disposition of a class of Irish to In
terject their sarcasm on all possible occa
slons. and If noticed and returned, to feel
hurt, get violently abusive and destroy
their usefulness, is well Illustrated In the
following: During a discussion of South
African affairs, the Colonial Secretary,
Mr. Chamberlain, referred to the Boers
fighting under the British flag. Mr. Dil
lon Interjected, "They are traitors." Joe
retorted, "The honorable gentleman is a
eood Judge of traitors." Mr. Dillon got
no more than he deserved, but because he
found he had not a monopoly of sharp
words, he must get Into a rage and said
"I will tell that right honorable member
that he is a liar." Refusing to recall
the expression, he was voted suspended.
The vindictive spirit of a class of Irish
and their exacting revenge out of all
proportion to the offense is well illus
trated by the following: "A Dublin news
paper says that some days ago a woman
who had let a house to the government
for use as a police barracks died In
County Tipperary. She was rigidly boy
cotted. Even after her death no person
would dig her grave, and it was done by
the police. No one attended the funeral
except the woman's Immediate relatives
and a few priests." (New York Times.)
The ability of a class of Irish to make a
mountain out of a molehill and to think
themselves very badly treated is most
strikingly exhibited in the following: "It
was Irish Influence which induced Presi
dent Roosevelt to withdraw permission to
his daugnter Alice to attena tne corona
tlon of King Edward, of England," ex
claimed Congressman John F. Fitzgerald,
of Boston, at a meeting In the Bijou The
ater, Brooklyn, In honor of the 120th annl
vorsary of the birth of Robert Emmet.
Loud cheers greeted the statement by Mr.
Fitzgerald. "It Is positively true," de
clared Mr. Fitzgerald, raising his hand
to still the tumult of applause. "I have
the news on the most unimpeachable tes
tlmony. Representations Were made to the
President that It would be a grievous mis
take for him to permit his daughter to
be present at the coronation. It would
look as if the executive of the greatest
of republics were pledging the support o
-the "United States to King Edward, and
this is the view the delegation that vis
tA President Roosevelt took. The Presi
dent saw that to send his daughter to the
coronation would be a grave political mis
take. I am certain that be recognized the
fact that were he to send his daughter
to the coronation citizens of Irish birth
or descent In the United States would feel

Mr. O'Connor, thinks Is good sense and
evidence of brains, he is very welcome to
a-monopoly of It But he will not humbug
the American public so easily- as he
thinks. Why, bless you, every one knows
a class of Irish could not exist without a
grievance. -
In the Princeton Review. May. 18S4. will
be found, "Landowner and "Farmer In
England," by David B. King. From It
may be had a good Idea of the condition
of the British farmer, the disastrous ef
fect of bad weather, high wages, foreign.
competition with cheap and easy trans
portation, and the lack of much-needed
legislation. Also will be understood the
operation of certain land laws enacted In
1S70. 1S75, 1SS1 and 1SS3. It will be seen the
Irish farmer was not discriminated against
by the government, but suffered from the
common evil, and was the first to get re
lief, and greater relief than accorded to
the farmers of England and Scotland. In
deed. It was the general opinion that Par
Hament, In passing the Irish land act, the
average of rent acts, and the agricultural
holdings act, had gone much too far in
the direction of. interfering with the free
dom of contract. The land act of 1S70
gave to the Irish tenant the right to com
pensatlon for Improvements on quitting
his holdings; also right to compensation
for disturbance when forced to leave by
the landlord. The landlord, however,
could Increase his rents. This was rem
edied by the act of 1SS1, which provided
a court to -fix a fair rent to stand for 15
years. The tenants" right to. live on and
farm tho land indefinitely at a fixed fair
rent; his rights to improvements were se
cured, and, further, the law" made pro
vision to lend the tenant three-fourths of
the purchase money. If he wished to buy
the landlord s interest. We now refer to
a "Talk With the Hon. Horace Plunkett,"
see Review of Reviews, April, 1903. Mr.
Plunkett came over here to talk about
Ireland, and said: "Yes, Indeed, for the
last 20 years, the Irish tenant has enjoyed
perpetuity of tenure so long as he pays
his rent; and that is fixed, not by the
landlords, but by the state, every lo years
through a specially appointed state trl
bunal. Moreover, the fair rent, as It is
called, secures to the tepant the value of
his Improvement. . . . Several land
purchasing acts have been passed, and
about 12 per cent or tne tenants nave been
enabled to buy out their holdings with the
assistance of state credit The experiment
has proved entirely satisfactory, and the
great majority of the tenants naturally
want to become owners by the same
means. My ranch "friend asked Just now,
what the Irish farmers were kicking
about, when so much had been done for
them by legislation. Unhappily, about
the time when their position was being
so enormously improved by the legislative
changes which I have described, a new
trouble overtook them in the form of agri
cultural ' depression, resulting from tho
opening up of vast tracts of virgin soli
In the Western Hemisphere and Australia,
and also from the extraordinary develop
ment which has taken place in rapid and
cheap transportation, as well as in proc
esses of food preservation." In the fore
going you have the testimony of an
Irishman who has been closely identified
with Improvements for his country. Tho
reader has his choice, the Hon. H. Plun
kett or Mr. O'Connor.
I would claim the attention of the read
er once more to the May number of the
Review of Reviews, 1903, to what the
"blawsted" British have been doing to
Ireland. "While In the United-States we
are this year undertaking to" bring Gov
ernment aid to Industry, trade and agri
culture by digging the Panama Canal
enlarging the water ways of New York
State, Investing millions In the- Irrigation
of Western land, and financing the trans
fer of the- friar lands to the peasantry of
Luzon, the British government is enter
ing upon a scheme of land purchase great
er in the financial magnitude than all
these American projects put together. In
short, the .greatest event of the month un
der review in these pages has been the in
troduction of the Tory government's Irish
land-purchase bill aggregating in the end
$500,000,000."
The following is from tho September
number: "The British Parliament was
prorogued on August 14. This session will
have been memorable in history for Its
adoption of the Irish land-purchase bill,
which will become operative on the 1st
day of November. . . . It Is a scheme
for the creation of a new interest-bear
ing debt of a maximum amount of $500,
000,000, with the proceeds of which the
Irish landlords are to be bought out The
plan further provides for a free gift-
eventually aggregating some ?),oco,ooo m
the form of bonuses to the landlords to In
duce them to sell."
Mr. O'Connor makes no mention- of the
facts we have presented to the reader;
the probable reason is that he did not
notice them in the Irish world. We have
only space to call attention to the amount
of gratitude shown the Tory government
These Irish gentlemen nearly succeeded
in turning them out of office a day or
two ago. because they refused to sanction
the expense of teaching Gaelic in the
junior grades of the Irish Schools. Tho
lansruage of Shakespeare. Francis Bacon,
Addison. Milton, Webster, Henry Clay,
Calhoun, in short of the United States.
Canada and Australia Is not good enough
for these gentry- We miss our guess very
much If the American people have very
much sympathy tor tneso gentlemen.
Some other time we shall take up the
famine of India, its cause, and what has
been accomplished by the British.' As to
personalities, although no man has a mo
nopoly of sarcasm, and although the his
tory of the Irish gives very good oppor
tunities for tho play of sarcasm, we, nev
ertheless, leave that field to the exploita
tion of Mr. J. O'Connor.
