DUBLIN, May 24.-At a meeting of the
corporation to-day the Lord Mayor read a
telegram from Archbishop Walsh, dated
Rome, as follows: Assure the municipal

Ireland has nothing to fear from Leo XIII.
Accept my most distinct assurance upon

and Catholics you are not to be misled by
any such devices of the enemies Of the ma

CHICAGO May 24.-The inquiry into the
affairs relating to the organization of the
gas trust brought out by bill filed against
its originators by Nicholas c. Miller, late
President of the Town of Lake Gas Com
pany, was continued this morning. The
witness on the stand to-day was
Henry A. Kent, one of the origi-
majors of the. trust. Kent was by no
means willing witness, but his testimony
showed very clearly that the gas trust had
not lost any money in the transaction. The
gas companies transferred their property to
the trusl, getting bonds covering almost the
full value of it, and besides this they shared,
on an equitable basis in the distribution Of
$25, 900, 900 of gas trust stock that was in

, Without a Programme.

The position of the Republicans in Con-
greSs with respect to the tariff issue is not
satisfactory one 20 them. They admit that
it is necessary that the revenue shall be
reduced, but they have no programme of
their own for its reduction. The report OF
the minority of the Ways and Means Com
mittee shows that they are Obstructlonlsts
They oppose the Mills bill, and yet are not
prepared to offer substitute for it. They
cannot agree upon a substitute because
some favor repeating the whisky and to
bacco taxes and leaving the tariff untouched,
and others insist upon reducing the tariff.
An obstructive policy cannot be popular
one even with the Republicans in the face
of the general admission that the revenue
should be reduced, and it is not improbable
that before the debate on the Mills bill Is
finished the pressure in its favor will be so
great that quite a number of Republican
Congressman will be found supporting it.
One of the strongest Republican news
papers in the West is the indianapolis
Ne,cs. In late issue it said: THE Repub-
lican party has repeatedly Sand solennly
promised revision of the tariff, and the
time has come for 1t: revision that will re
wise, too no sham measure like Randall's,
which strips away nearly the whole of the
internal revenue, and, reducing little dab
of tariff duties. increases some others. 1t
must be n measure challenging the Mills
measure in an honest appeal to the country
as to which is the better of the two as
real revision of the tariff"
The demand for tariff reform among the
Republicans Of Indiana, and about all the
other Western States, is an aggressive and
imperative one. The Chicago Tribune, the
leading Republican organ of the West, has
made thousands OF converts to this reform
in that section, and they are beginning to
make their influence felt. Mr.. Nelson, the
Republican Congressman from Minnesota,
in his speech in the House tine other day, in
favor of reducing tariff taxation, did not
state the case too strongly when he said that
more than half of his constituents were in
favor of lower tariff rates.
1t is not to be wondered at that the Re
publicans in Congress are showing signs of
uneasiness with regard to the Mills bill.
The prospect of its passing the House is i'm
proving every day, and there is not much
doubt now that it will go to the Senate with
about the same provisions it contained when
reported to the House When it reaches
the Senate the Republicans will be con-
fronted with a res onsibility of which they
would very much like to get rid. They
won't want to pass it, and they will hardly
dare to defeat it,
