How ireland Is to be Held Down.
The Methods of l04s Adopted
An Ingenious "NO Rent Device
by the League.

DDBLIN, November 5.-The militia
ry authorities have inaugurated a sys-
tenn Of alarm drills to train troops to
fall rapidly into a defensive position
in case OF attack. This is a revival of
the practice which prevailed during
the repeal movement in 1913.
BERLIN, November 5.-The Reiehs
tag will open on the 18th inst. The
prospect Of coalition between the
Clericals and the Conservatives is
growing daily.
LONDON, November GA curious
plan has been adopted in some parts
west of ireland with view of keeping
the mo rent" manifest before the
tenants. 1t takes the form Of prom.
issory note, which has been circulated
among the farmers attending the fair.
The note is promise to pay rent on
the day Of the release.of Parnell, Dav-
lit and other suspects from jail.
1t is intended that this note shall be
signed by the tenants and sent to the
landlords.
The Standard, commenting on the
alleged protest of Blaine against any
annexation of the Peruvian Territory
by Chill, says that considering the
circumstances existing in South
America, it would be sim
ply offering premium for
the aggressive combinations. IF the
annexation were recognized as a
right Of the more powerful, so far
therefore, Blaine has acted with a
vigor which ought to commend itself
to the world at large, but if he is not
misinterpreted he seems to aim at
constituting the United States an
arbiter Of the politics of the whole
American Continent. In view OF the
great colonial interests of England and
other powers such pretentions if ever
meant to be seriously advanced isin-
admissible. Nothing is more calcu-
lated to excite susceptibilities in the
petty South American republics.
The United States and other Ameri-
can governments have, however, every
right to protect against any European
power gaining further footing on the
continent of America.
ROME, November 3.-Several lives

ZURICH, November 5.-Burglars

and burned the greater part of the
books. The balk closed doors
Wednesday. Unpleasant surmises
regarding the affair are current.

WHEN Barrett rushed up to Nash
vile to get himself yiudicated, he was
somewhat in the predicameut of the
Irish servant girl who left position
in BostonTto seek employment in New
York. Upon landing she discovered
that she had lost her recommendations
given her at the sstplace she worked.
Being stranger she felt her loss very
keenly and went to kind hearted
country man to tell of her great dis.
tress. Pat told her to wait little
and he would make it all right, In a
short time he evolved from his brain
and pen certificate signed by him
self reading to this effect: "This is to
certify that Bridget Malowney had q
good character when she left Boston,
but she lost it on the ship" Barrett's
certificate would read: "He had a
character, but he went to the Legista-
ture and changed his vote on the
1903"

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
A Considerable Short Interest,"
Active Foreign Demand.
Alliance Between Huntington and
Gould.
Jewett Soliciting Erie Proxies.

New York, November 5.-There
is a considerable short interest in most
of the active stocks. The foreign de.
mand for stocks continues fair. First
class bonds are wanted here and
abroad. 1t is thought the next call
for bonds will be for fves as we'll as
skies. 0fthe last call for $20,00O,0O0
about $9,500,0OO remain outstanding.
An important traffic agreement has
been concluded between Huntington
and Gould, by which large amount
of business coming over the Southern
Pacific will become tributary to the
Texas Pacific, Missouri Pacific and
Wabash lines. The alliance will have
an important bearing upon the securi-
ties Of the Chesapeake & Ohio, Wa
bash, Missouri Pacific, Texas Pacific
and Southern Pacific roads.
1t is understood that the move for
a change in the management of the
Erie road had its origin abroad. An
impression prevails that Gould and
Vanderbilt interests will appear in
the board at the approaching election.
Jewett is soliciting proxies. An Erie
director said yesterday that an i'm
portant move was pending.
The stock market opened strong and
generally fraction higher, but in the
early dealings prices declined Ito 1c.

The Nashville Banner is greatly
shocked at the inconsistency of the
World in admitting at last that the
1908 act is not acceptable to the pco
pie. Our respected afternoon cotem-
porary proceeds to open up after this
fashion;
At last the Morning World has
thrown off the cloak and hoisted the
banner oil reputation. Its motives
we do not pretend to fathom, but from
the fact that its editors and owners
were the most uncompromising adyo-
Gates of the settlement during the
late canvass, and that they, in their
several spheres, exercised all the in
huence they possessed to advance it,
one can now see why they pursued the
course outlined in their yesterdays
issue. We recognize the fact, that the
opposition to 1908 is great, and we
are satisfied that it might have been
done in manner to satisfy the de.
mands Of the people to a better advan-
tage, but the settlement was made,
and is now the law of the land, and
unless set aside by the Supreme
Courts, will be the law, and for pa.
per to raise the cry of unpopularity, as
a notice of opposition, is too plain for
the dullest comprehension not to see,
especially as the authors of the cry Of
fraud were those who most strenuously
advocated its terms. Oh, consistency
thou art a jewel, the more precious,
because thou art scarce. When men,
either for expediency or for self'inter-
est, repudiate their oft expressed SEN
timents, in this manner, then what
will become Of honesty and public
faith ?
We would be very much obliged if
some of the State credit papers which
can discuss this question without
showing bad temper or calling names
would explain why man is called a
repudiator now who thinks 5O-4 a just
settlement and was recognized
as an exponent of honesty and
State credit in 1879 when he
held precisely the same views. If we
understand the World, it is in favor
of readjustment aud settlement upon
basis Of 50.4. The Banner says this
is reputation, and also inconsistent.
Better be right and inconsistent than
forever wrong.

THE Philadelphia American adds
its mite, as follows: "Mr. Key, we
have no doubt, acted on his own re-
sponsibility in the bad advice he gave
Mr.. Tyner, and was construed as
speaking for the President. The pub
lication Of Mr.. Tyner's report does
make out a somewhat better case for
himself But it makes the relation OF
Mr.. Key to the whole business very
much worse. If the former Postmas-
ter-General knew the contents of Mr..
Tyenr's report, then his refusal to be-
lieve anything bad of Mr.. Brady and
MIR. Dorsey is good deal worse than
inexplicable."

"NOT GUILTY"
An Ex-Governor Acquitted OF
the Charge of Murder.

TOLEDO, o., November 5.-The
trial of B. X. Scott, formerly Gov
ernor of South Carolina, for the mur-
der Of Warren G. Drury at Napoleon,
Ohio, on Christmas morning last,
which has been in progress at that
place for two weeks past, resulted this
morning in verdict of mot guilty"
On the morning of the killing Scott
went to the store in which Drury
was employed in search of his son,
who, in company with Dfury, had
passed the night in a carousal, and
Lad been taken by Drury and put to
bed in room over the store.
Drury met Governor Scott
in the store and attempted to dissuade
him from going up stairs. The latter
then shot Drury, killing him instantly.
Governor Scott maintained that the
shooting was accidental. Able counsel
was engaged on both sides and the trial
created universal interest in the COM
munity where Governor Scott for
many years has been a citizen. The
verdict appears to give general salts
faction.
