CURED BY COERCION.
Balfour to Take Some of the
Shackles From Ireland.
= SOP TO EvIcrEo TENANTS.
National League. BoycottinE and Plan
Of Campaign Being Killed, Tories
Are satisfed-o'Brien's Dungeon.

Lospos, June 5.--lAssociated Press,
Copyrighted, 1891 l-Balfour' proposal to
relax the coercion act will not be explicitly
announced in the commons until next
week, but enough is known as to what the
government intends to propose to justify
the Conservatives in feeling some little
pride over the results Of Balfour's
policy. All the provisions OF the
crimes act directed against criminal
conspiracy will be withdrawn, while
other provisions, notably the secret in
quiry section, will be retained. Baifour's
first statement, that there are 3l9 prison
ers IN Ireland who we're sentenced under
the crimes act, has been the occasion in
the Unionist press of telling contrasts
with the coercion policy under Gladstone,
when the prisons were full. In the face
of the prison statistics and in the face, also.
ofthe fact of absolute peace in every district
in Ireland and cessation IN the press and on
the platform of expressions of discomfort,
the Gladstonians will find it difficult to re-
spond to the Unionists' plea. The ac-
cepted Liberal explanation is that the paci-
fcation of Ireland is due as much to
Gladstone's policy of Cancellation as to
Balfour's coercions. The explanation ig-
nores Gladstonian predictions when the
crimes bill was under discussion IN
parliament. Doubtless number of
causes operated to associate the Bal
four regime with the steady cessation
of disorder, but his administration has
seen the national league broken to pieces,
the plan Of campaign collapsed and coer-
cton suspended after four years of opera
ton.
Gladstone's latest utterance on home
rule Is his writing to the Women's Liberal
Federation that the Irish crisis is as acute
IS ever and home rule as fixed plank of
the Liberal platform as certain as ever,
but that Irish questions are asleep as far
as general interest goes with quiescent Ire
land
The land bill is still largely to occupy
the house for week. Balfour has sent
message of peace and good will to evicted
tenants in acceptance of clause enabling
q landlord to sell holding over the head
of man in possession to an evicted tenant
of his predecessor. Evicted tenants can
claim pre-emption right, and will only be
able TO benefi. by the clause within six
months after the act passes, but the pro-
vision saves from ruin many victims of
the plan of campaign.
In the debate on the Irish land bill in
the commons last evening, Russell, Irish
Liberal o nionist. offered an amendmen mt
giving the benefits of the bill to tenants
evicted within the last FIVE years. The
amendment was accepted by Balfour and
later by the house.
Balfour today said that though he con-
sidered the time had come when certain
portions of the coercion act might be sus-
pended. especially the clauses dealing with
summary jurisdiction. he never meant the
action of the government to be retro
spective, so far as RENTING the sentences
of Dillon and O'Brien were concerned.

NEBRAsKANs FOR oRAY.s HARBoR.
Two Thousand Colonists to Found .
City Near Hoquiam.

City Near Hoquiam.
HooUrAM, June Especial - The
Washington Colony Company, incorpo-
rated under the laws of Nebraska, with
an authorized capital of 81, 600. 900, has for
its prime object the promotion OF immi-
grafton to the state of Washington. The
headquarters Of the company are in Chi
cago. More than a year ago the president
of the company, w. G. Gerard, started for
Washington with the sole purpose of seek
ing out the most richly endowed and COM
paratively undeveloped section on the
Pacific coast for building city. He had
heard of the Gray's harbor country, but
before deciding to make that point made
a thorough canvass of the state.
he had seen, he started for
Gray's harbor. Directly upon arriving he
became infatuated with the proposition,
and at once made up his mind that he
should go no further. Before entering into
negotiations for the purchase of any
lands, however, he returned to Chicago to
report to the company. Not more than
two months ago Mr.. Gerard returned to
Gray's harbor, making Hoquiam his
headquarters. After thorough examina-
ton into the resources tributary to Gray's
harbor, he decided that the most favored
location for the future city lay between
Hoquiam and Gray's Harbor City, and as
near as possible to Hoquiam river. No time
was lost in calling together the property
owners and prominent men of Hoquiam
and Gray's Harbor, and before them Mr..
Gerard laid his proposition. 1t was SIM
ply this: That the Washington Colony
Company desired TO control $500 acres of
land between the points above mentioned;
that they would clear the whole tract and
plat it, the original owners to retain each
alternate block. The company then agrees
to furnish 1000 colonists, who will i'm
prove the land by building as many houses.
Each one of these colonists is to be
stakeholder in the concern, and can pur-
chase not less than two nor more than ten
shares of stock at 500 per share. The
company is to pay the cost of constructing
the houses, and the colonists reimburse
them on the installment plan.
The proposition met with hearty ap-
prevail on the part of the property owners,
and contracts were at once drawn up con-
veying the property. Mr.. Gerard has
since returned to Chicago and already put
ten active men to work to secure the full
quota of colonists, 300 of whom must be
on the ground per contract by November
1. Information has just been received
from the headquarters. of the company
that the work is progressing finely and al
ready one-third of the required number
has been secured. The company will
operate largely in the Mississippi valley,
where it is said there are many people
anxious to come to Washington. It is
this class that the company will aim to
assist.
Hoquiam is naturally very jubilant over
the prospect of having an Influx of 1000
families within the next year, and the
number that will follow of their own
accord will in all probability be many
times greater.

A Canal Break Flooding Fresno.

FRESNO, CAL, June 5.-The canal CON-
pany has not yet succeeded in stopping
break in the levee of the canal, which oc-
Cured in the suburbs of Fresno on
Wednesday. The water has inundated
the northeastern portion of the city. and
is coming in on several streets. The street
car track on Blackstone avenue is washed
out in several places, and some other dam
age has been done. The only remedy re-
naming seems TO be in closing the head
gates at Kings river, twenty miles from
here, and shutting the water out from the
canal. This will bring relief. However,
the water will continue to flow in the canal
for thirty hours after the hesdgates are
closed

THE PRESBYTERIAN HERErIcs.



PITTsBURG, June ST This mornings
session of the Reformed Presbyterian
synod was devoted to an explanation by
Rev. Mr.. George in defense of the action
OF the Presbytery in suspending seven
ministers for heresy. He declares that
the action was brought about by the
untrameled and individual act of each
man, and that their action was not die
tated by any one man. The sympathy OF
the onlookers seems to be with the sus-
pended ministers.
At the afternoon session Prosecutor Nc
Allister proceeded with his arraignment.
He had no hesitency in openly charging
that an organization was formed and would
today be within the church menacing its
life had not the alarm been sounded By
the elders. As to the charge that the
presbytery had prejudged the cases, he
said it was true. The court was ready to
cast its vote without the presentation of
witnesses, for the reason that the guilt Of
the defendants had been fully established,
