ARE THEY AFRAID?
Irish Landlords Seek Excuses to Avoid an
- Investigation.

DUBLIN, November THE evicted
tenants commission opened it's inquiry
here today. Evidence was taken regard
ing evictions that have occurred ON the
Clanricarde estate. Justice Mathew,
president of the commission, stated that
he had received letter from the Mar
quis of Clanricarde, in which he referred
to the commission as a 'plan of campaign
commission" and declined to attend as
a witness for the purpose of making sug-
gestions for an attack upon his class.
While one of the witnesses was testify
ing, Mr.. Carson, counsel for the land
lords, asked to be allowed to at once
cross-examine him. Justice Mathew re-
fused to grant the desired permission,
saying that when the witnesses for both
sides had been heard, counsel would be
allowed to cross-examine them through
the commission. Mr.. Carson thereupon
declared the whole thing was farce and
sham and he would not prostitute the
position of advocate by remaining longer
before the commission. The other eoun-
sci present as representatives of the land
lords concurred in the remarks made by
MI Carson and Withdrew from the room.
The landlords being thus unrepresented
Justice Mathew adjourned the session of
the commission.

nual report.
Just now he is engaged in compiling re
turns relating TO the granite industry IN this
State. He has received individual report,
State employed in different kinds of bust
ness, among these being q, corn canning
establishments in the State.
Among the blanks sent ont by Commits
sioner Matthews were those sent to the
assessors of cities, towns and plantations
and containing the following questions;
|. How many and what kinds of fac
tories, mills or shops for manufacturing
purposes have been enlarged, completed, OIL
are in process of erection during 1892.
9. Estimated cost of same.
3. Probable number of hands they viii
employ.
The assessors in % of the cities, town.
and plantations have filled out these blank.
AMI returned them. There will probably
be few more returns hut not enough IL
change the result materially. The commits
sioner believes that those received give 4
very accurate estimate of this feature OF
Maine's growth during the past u months
The showing is grand one and grea
of public interest will attach to this part OF
the report.
The estimated cost of these manufactur.
ing establishments that have been enlarged
completed or are in process of erection thi,
year is s2,24s,4 40. The probable number
Of additional hands that will be employed
by them is 1855. While the estimated cosi
does not equal the capital invested last yeai
yet the class of industries is different. The
large pulp mills built during 1891 in this
State represented large amount of capita
the statistics. However. this year there j.
larger number of towns, cities and plan
tations reporting new manufacturing estab-
lishmcnts than reported last year.
