arrived in Lakeview Saturday
evening coming up from Iteno In
a private car. The gentlemen were

ber of business men of the town
Saturday evening In the Antlers
Club Ilooms.
This trip following the general ru
mor of Hi resignation of T. F. Dun
away, vice-president and general
manager of the road, is believed to
have some significance with such re
port, and that Colonel Hamilton
will assume temporary charge, al
though nothing to this effect was
given out by either of the gentle
men on the present trip.
Iloth Colonel Hamilton aud Mr.
Morun manifested a keen Interest in
the people and territory served by
the railroad as well as the direct In
terests of the road, us they fully ap
preciate the Important fact that the
general success of one Is dependent
upon the other. Iloth gentlemen
were careful not to divulge any pos
sible change in management or poli
cies of the road but their close In
spection and Investigation of all de
tails would Indicate that such were
the contemplated plans.
It Is said that after Mr. Duna
way's resignation Colonel Hamilton
will take but temporary manage
ment of the road, aud that a yung

permanently.
The railroad nieu left here Sun

Reno Gazette: J. M. Fulton, as

manager of the Southern Pacific
Company, who built a portion of
the Nevada-Call fornia-Oregon Kail
road, recently, was asked as to his
early connection with the road and
took occasion to pay high tribute to
D. Comyn Moran and A. D. Moran,
of New Tork, owners of the line.
"I noticed the press dispatch say
ing the California commission had
criticised land speculation by rail
roads to the detriment of public ser
vice in deciding the Alturas depot
case," said Mr. Fulton, " and I am
glad to see the statement that this
criticism in no way involves the
railroad itself or the owners of the
road, for I hare been personally ac
quainted with Moran Brothers for
many years and I simply want to say
that no more honorable men have
come into the state as investors.
"Their integrity is of the highest.
and I know that their desire, so far
as they personally are concerned.
has been simply to engage in the
transportation business and to in
dulge in no outside speculation in
land what ever. Any community
should feel proud to have them come
in as investors. They are worthy
of all respect and have never been
known to do a wrong act, personal
ly."

Termination of I0111; . Struggle.
Comes Suddenly but Otosition
Says End is Not Reached
By a vote of 351 to 274 a ma
jority of 77 the house of com
mons at London passed the Irish
home rule bill on Monday, May 25.
The end of the hard fought stru
gle came quite suddenly, the union
ists refusing to debate the bill with
out further information as to the
government's intentions in regard
to the proposed amending measure.
Premier Asquith lifted a corner
of the veil but though Andrew Bon
ar Law, leader of the opposition ad
mitted that the premier's words
were conciliatory, he hastened to
add that Mr. Asquith had not told
them anything.
. To discuss the third reading un
der the circumstances, would, he
said to be futile and ridiculous. He
added:
"Let the curtain ring down on
this conteniptable farce. It is only
the end of an act and not of a play.
The government can carry the bill
throught Parliament, the concluding
act of the drama will be in the coun
try where an appeal to the people
will not end in a farce."
In response to the speaker's plea
Premier Asquith announced the
amending bill would give etlect to
any agreement Which the govern
ment was still hopeful might' be
reached. He said if at the time of
introduction of the Irish home rule
bill to the house of lords no such
agreement had been reached the
amending bill would embody the
substance of the proposals outlined
by him on March 9 in the hope that
after discussion an agreement might
be secured.
The home rule bill was subse
quently sent up to the house of'
lords. It was accompanied by a
group of jubilant nationalists, who
escorted the official bearer of the
bill and sang "God Save Ireland."
The house of lords afterwards
formally read the bill for a first
time. 'The real fight on the mea
sure in that chamber will begin in
the middle of June after the Whit
suntide holiday.
