YOUR LORDSHIPS ARE WELCOME
So ParneIl Tells the Court About Seeing His
Private Letter Book.

LONDON. May S.-Parnelrs examination
was finished to-day. He testified that the
reception committee in America was com
posed of leading merchants of New York
representative citizens and ministers of re
ligiOn. In his speeches in New York the
witness declared that not a farthing con
tributed to the Irish cause would &C
toward organizing a rebellion in Ireland
Throughout his tour of the United States
he never swerved "a hairs breadth from
that declaration.
The witness firmly believed that none OF
his colleagues since Joining the Irish par
liamentary party had had anything to do
with the Eenians. Referring TO some let
ters of his, Parnell said he had copies
made from his secretary's short hand notes.
At this point AttOrney-GeneralW Webster
said: 1T seems there exists a book of
copies of ParnelFs letters. | would like to
see that book"
Sir Charles Russell: by all means"
Presiding Justice Harmon: "If these let
tiers refer to the league, they ought to have

checks, and warm discussion ensued, Sir
Charles declaring that such action would
be unfair. Justice Harmon requested a
postponement of the inquiry into this mat
sr until further documents were before
the court.
The archbishop took the stand. He testi-
fe | that he came to the conclusion before
1879 that there was need of adefensive land
o ganization and was proceeding to give his
opinion of the necessity for such an or
ganization when Justice Harmon inter
posed, saying the inquiry must be limited
to whether or not the land league was ne
C 2ssary. Biggar urged that opinion as
evidence had been given over and over
again by "hirelings of the government"
Justice Harmon warned Biggar that he
must not make use of such expressions.
Biggar then said that unless such evidence
was admitted the whole inquiry would end
in force.
The archbishop, continuing, said that in
the course of his visits through his diocese
he had abundant means of knowing that
the league denounced outrages. Many
priests had joined the league with his ap-
prOval.

Railways in the West.

In considering the prospects and possibil-
tiles of further railway construction in this
country, says the RdHicdy Age. the magui-
tude Of the western states and territories
in comparison with those in the east. whose
railway mileage now seems large. is not
often sufficiently taken into consideration.
Take as an example California. That state
has an area of about l5sOO0 square miles.
which more than equals the aggregate area
of the six New England states. New York.
New Jersey. Delaware and Ohio. Let US
see how the railway mileage Of the two see
tons compares. All the commencement of
1889, it stood as follows: Maine 1901, New
Hampshire 1907. Vermont 943, Massachu-
sets 2O72 Rhode Island 2l4. Connecticut
lob. New York 751G, New Jersey 1881,
Delaware BOB. Ohio 16Sj: railway mileage
Of ten states, 24,2Ol; railway mileage of
California 1916.
Thus it is seen that although these ten
pODUluOus states co not equal California in
size they have nearly six times as many
miles of railway, ana even yet have not got
through building. but are adding new mile
I age every year. having IN the last year
alone built nearly four hundred and fifty
miles. Making all due allowances for the
differences OF climate. soil and other char
acteriStics, and also bearing IN mind the
great states and the Pacific coast communi-
ties. it will be admitted that a large in
crease in the railway mileage of California
is to be expected Somewhat similar com
parsons and deductions might be made in
the case of Oregon, Washington, Idaho,
Montana, Wyoming, Utah. DakOta, Color
ado. New Mexico. Texas, Indian Territory,
Arkansas and so on. so that even if railway
building has ceased in the older parts Of the
country, which is very far from being the
case and probably never will be true, still
it is evident that the great west alone FUR
nishes a field for the addition of tens of
thousands of miles Of railway within the
near future

PHILADELPHIA, May S.-The twenty

Young Mems Christian association was

churches of the United States, Canada,

The New Fast Service.

The general managers of the roads oper-
ating between Chicago and the Missouri
river met at Chicago to further consider
the question of making connection at Coun-
eli Bluffs with the proposed fast train of
the Union Pacific. The representatives of
the Union Pacific, having completed all
arrangements, submitted proposed time
card for the approval of the connecting
lines. The managers discussed the matter.
but could reach no agreement, and finally
adjourned without action. This leaves the
several roads to do as they please individu-
ally in the matter of connecting the Union
Pacific fast train with the Chicago east
bound limited. and it is understood that the
Rock island will at once make arrange
ments to form the connecting link in the
fast train service across the continent.
The proposed changes in the time card of
the Union Pacific viii affect all connecting
lines between the Missouri river and
Chicago. In addition to the new fast train
to run between Omaha and San Francisco
il is said to be the intention Of the company
10 put on a flyer between Kansas City
and Denver, connecting with the Chicago
~ Alton. 1t was principally on account of
this intention that the Alton was induced
to re-establish its limited train, the pur-
pose being to inaugurate fast train ser
vice between Chicago and Denver that
would be of the most complete kind in the
country. The Union Pacific has been slow
TO carry its portion of the agreement,
but it ha, rot abandoned the scheme and
will probably put it into operation early
this month.
BY this arrangement, it is proposed to
make the run of LIZ miles betwe.
Chicago and Denver in the remarkably
short time "a thirty-two hours. This, so
duction in the time on the 4SS miles run
from Chicago to Kansas City of one hour

A SOCIAL PROBLEM.
How to Make Farmers On the Scientific Plan
Wait and See.

| WASHINGTON, MAY S.-W. o. Atwater, in
charge of the work at the experiment sta
tions established by the agricultural de-
partment, is preparing a bulletin, which
will be published this year, giving sketch
of the progress of education in the agricul-
tural colleges and schools.
| 1t is acknowledged that the purpose for
which the agricultural colleges were estab-
| lished in the several states and to which
the government has contributed by liberal
grants of land and money, has not been
realized. The colleges do not educated men
for the farms, but for the professions, and
the tendency of their teachings has been to
draw young men from the farms instead Of
| fitting for work on them. The curriculum
III most cases is too extensive for the aver
age farmers son to meet. The conse-
quence is that the class for whom colleges
were designed have received absolutely no
| benefit for their existence.
In connection with the state university
of Minnesota, an agricultural school was
opened last fall, the course of study com
| prising two years of twenty-four weeks
each. Graduates of the common schools of
| the state are qualified to enter, and they
are taught the practical things of farm
| life, in addition to the literary branches of
| learning. The school had been opened but
| a lew weeks Wilen lJS ACCOMMODATIONS were
all taken, while the agricultural college
proper has been struggling along for exist
ence for years with barely enough students
to form a single class.
At the InGian and colored schools at
Hampton, Va, supported by the govern
ment, even more of a course of agricultural
instruction is pursued, and nearly one
hundred pupils ale engaged in it.
The experiment stations of the depart
ment are located at all these schools, and
because of the great practical benefit ac-
cTuing, the bulletin will strongly advocate
the extension of the system.
Secretary Rusil is also deeply interested
in the establishment of short winter
courses of lectures to young men on farms,
upon topics relat ne to the successful col
duct of their labOrS.

time from point to point thirty two hours.
1t will be an easy matter for the Chicago
g. Alton to make the run in the time al
lowed 1t is capable of much greater
speed than it has yet found it necessary to
adopt. Its east bound limit now covers the
distance from Kansas City to Chicago in
fourteen and one-half hours, and the last

The Union Pacific train, making all stations

twenty-one hours in running to Denver,
