SCOTCH HOME RULE
A Bill introduced in Parliament
to Establish 1t.
AN INDEPENDENT LEGISLATURE
Support It-Bloody Election Riots in
Japan-Texas Senatorial Contest.

LONDON, March 19.-An the Liberal
members from Scotland and many English
members, including some Conservatives,
approve the bill introduced in parliament
to-day for the creation of Scottish legis-
lative body. The bill will attract general
attention owing TO it's similarity to the
Irish question. The bill establishes in
Scotland legislature, consisting of the
Queen and q Scotch legislative body to
enact laws for Scotland with the exception
81 matters relating to imperial admiuistra-
~ons. The legislature is to be prohibited
from establishing a religion or imposing
disabilities, or comforting privileges
on such account. Bills passed re-
quire the assent of the Queen
only to become law In questions of juris-
diction between English and Scottish
bodies the matter is to be referred to the
judicial committee of the privy council
The executive government of Scotland is
vested in the Queen and carried on by the
secretary for Scotland, with officers and a
council as provided by the legislature. The
legislature is authorized 10 impose taxes
other than customs or excise duties, and
create a consolidated fund separate from
that Of the United Kingdom. All revenues
appropriated shall be through the public
service of Scotland. Scottish contribu-
tons towards the imperial establishment
shall be those payable by England and
Wales.
The second portion of the bill treats of
the judicial government, provides that all
existing civil and criminal courts shall be
maintained, subject, however to abolition
or alteration, and judges can be removed
by the legislature requesting the Queen to
do so. The bill provides that the power
and authority OF the imperial parliament
shall not be diminished or restrained by
anything herein contained The present
bill is worthy of comparison to Mr.. Glad
stones first home-rule bill.

New York, March 19.-It has Just leaked
out that Thomas Adams, the suspended
Roman Catholic priest and faith curer Of
No. IA South Fourth street, Brooklyn, has
performed another miracle. This time it is
the removal of large rose cancer from
the foot Of Henry Frank. a tinsmith. Frank
nearly year ago began to be troubled with
pain in his left foot. He consulted Chi
ropodists and surgeons, but they could do
nothing for him. When ha went to the
cancer hospital the physician there said
there was only one way TO cave Franks
life, which would be to remove the foot.
Frank decided before losing his foot 70
visit Father Adams. 81 only called upon
Father Adams once" said Mr. Frank to-
night. 81 told the priest my trouble, we
prayed together for awhile, and the faith
er's relic was rubbed over my sore foot
When l left the house 1 was completely
cured. The cancer pain entirely disap-
peared, and there is nothing remaining now
but a small scar hardly noticeable. 1t was
very painful and disagreeable cancer 1t
was indeed a miraculous cure, and Father
Adams IS great priest"
Mrs. Frank and the daughter verified the
cured mans statement, as did also several
neigh5ors in the vicinity. Father Adams
was seen at his homo in Brooklyn He
would say little Of the cancer cure, giving
the credit TO the prayer and faith.
