istence of the college, for If the United
Irishmen had not threatened the ma
ton, parliament assuredly would not
have voted the endowment in 1895, or
confirmed and augmented it in later
years. But difficulty in the matters of
loyalty and of discipline was not the
only source Of anxiety the college au-
thorities had to contend with. Every
year the estimates had to be passed
upon by the British parliament, and
for the first three-quarters of CEN
fury Of its existence the date upon
which the 'Maynooth Grant would
come UP for discussion was a regular
field day in parliament, which drew
out not only the choicest spirits of
debate, but the most acrimonious SEN
tlments of party and religious pas
sions. The government of the day,
whether it was a Wing ministry under
Lord Pa1merston, or Tory under Lord
Stanley, invariably supported the
Catholic claim, and justified the grant,
while the strong Protestant sentiment
of England and of Ulster pointed to
the popular leanings of the students
toward revolt or toward the agitations
upon the platform in which they were
the chief leaders when they became
pastors and guides of the people
While the college was literally en-
=
was thus constantly threatened, and
was frequently passed by only shaky
or slender majorities in parliament.
But for over twenty years the objec-
tons to the MaynOoth donation have
ceased, and now all parties, Catholic
and Protestant, are agreed that the
ideas of the Maynooth founders were
wise and necessary: that the annual
output of $40 students is alike credit
able to the educatio resources and
the patriotic inspirations of Ireland,
and that this great and historic insti-
tuition has filled a useful end and de- i
serves a warm place in the hearts and
affections of Irishmen.

country's struggles, and when rigor-

obliging attendant or from the gossipy
driver of the jaunting car who took
them at vacation time to the railroad

A Special railroad to the place.


To carry the material for the different
buildings, a railroad from Biltmore sta
ton to the site of the mansion, distance
of three miles, was built This cost about
900. The Workmen went back and forth
every day on the cars. When the build
ings are completed, the railroad will be
torn up, the track and bridges removed
and the grounds put in proper order.
The foundations of Biltmore were laid
broad and deep. This was particularly
necessary, since the site was a slipping
mountain side. The walls will last as
long as the mountain Itself They are
the same as the tennis wall; about eigh-
teen feet thick and forty feet high. And

BAD BLOOD BETWEEN THEM.
The reading of Perrys brief farewell
note gave Hiram Skidder tremendous
shock, telling him that the actual owner
of the Musselshel property was for the

Nevertheless like all men who are

"No, sir But he watched her in

The merchant flushed with disgust

1t cost him keen pang to realize that
he had given Elfe the protection of

THE ADMINISTRATIONS POSITION.
No More Revenue Needed, but Cur
rency Bill.

The administration does not indorse the
proposition to provide for an increase Of
revenue either by beer tax or any other
means. 1t has been made generally known
to democrats in Congress that it would be
in no sense satisfactory to the President or
the Secretary of the Treasury to be given
a larger revenue in lieu of currency legis-
lation.
The Secretary of the Treasury holds that
a sufficient revenue will be produced by the
present law and that an increase would
not help the situation. The administration
takes the position occupied by the trainers
of the Wilson tariff bill that that law Is
going to be efficient revenue producer
and that no confession of weakness at that
point should be made by the acceptance
of the republican proposition that it is for
want of revenue that the treasury is now
suffering.
This position being taken by the admin
istration. the ways and means committee
will probably refuse to report the bill for
an increase of the beer tax and most of
the democrats will oppose the increase If
proposed as an amendment to some other
measure. The position taken by the admin
:stration is that they must be given a sat
isfactory currency measure or nothing at

REPUBLICAN SENATORIAL CAUCUS.
The Financial Question and Other
Matters to Be Considered.

Matters to Be Considered.
The republican Senators will hold eau
Gus in Senator Sherman's committee room
at 1870 tcmorrew, which has been called
for the purpose OF considering various
questions likely to be before the Senate.
The question Of, most general Importance
to be conside rcd Is that relating to the
finances. and itsis understood that the
publican members OF the finance commit
tee will ask that they may be instructed
as to what course they shall pursue in
dealing with the questions in committee
There will also be an effort to have the
caucus take a position in the matter of the
election of Senators in states where the
LEGISLATURES are republican, and where the
contests are apparently unnecessarily pro-
longed as in Delaware, Idaho and Wash
ington. There is an element among the
republican Senators who hold that republi-
can supremacy in the senate is endangered
by the delay in those states, and who Gear
that IL protracted much further it may
result in failure to elect, as in Wyoming,
Montana and Washington in 1893, and they
contend that word of advice from the
solid republican side of the Senate would
probably have the effect Of fastening
action and of preventing the continuance
of the deadlocks.
There are other republican Senators, who
antag onize this position, who contend that
the republican Senators have nothing to do
with the senatorial elections in the various
states, and who will meet any proposition
to open the question in caucus with deter
mined opposition
There will also be some discussion Of
republican policy in connection with the
bills for the admission OF New Mexico and
Arizona.
