PASSED ITS FIRST READING,
New Irish Land Bill Introduced by Morley
in the Commons.

London, March 4.-In the house of
commons today John Morley intro
duced the new Irish land bill, and in
doing so he said he accepted the declar-
alton of Unionist belief made by
Thomas Wallace Russell, that the land
question was at the bottom of the dis
turbance and i'll feeling in ireland and
that parliament was competent to
make such laws as the condition OF
Ireland required.
The reasons for asking the house OF
commons to amend the acts now was
that in October next the tenants could
have their rents renewed for fourteen
years. 1t was desirable therefore to
make the circumstances of these re-
newals as easy as possible.
Mr.. Morley defended the report of the
recent land committee. ridiculing the
idea that it was one-sided, or issued by
a packed majority.
In explaining the present bill Mr..
Morley said that at the foundation of
the government proposals was
broad principle of social policy towards
Ireland. A general rule of protecting
the tenant in ownership If improve
mentS Were made was absolutely in
dispensable in Ireland owing to the de-
cisions of the Irish courts which upset
the intents Of parliament. The govern
ment now proposes that all the i'm
provements on a building should be
presumed to have been done by the
tenant unless the contrary was proven.
The bill directed the courts to give
ample compensation and security TO a
tenant for improvements and it also
proposed to amend the act of 1870 so as
to make it perform its functions in the
way it was designed it should. Conse-
ouently it would be modified in order to
prevent the undoubted intention of
parliament being frustrated. The COM
pensation to be paid to tenant would
be in money or in moneys worth. 1t
was also proposed by this measure that
holdings should be subject to statutory
conditions until the new rents were
fixed and the statutory conditions
thereby revived. 1t also makes the
term of the holdings ten instead OF

The opinion was delivered by Justice

considerable length, discussing among
other questions those of the presump-
ton of innocence. Especial attention
is given to the false entries charged TO

Guthrie, o. T.. March 4-tSpeciaD-
Both houses OF the legislature met this
morning at 10 O'Clock. The council ad-
journed after the introduction of several
bills until o'clock in the afternoon in
order to do committee work while the
house worked on until the noon recess,
passing the bill allowing appeals from
justice courts and also one taxing itin-
crate fakirs who come TO the territory
to interfere with the local business men
in trade.
The combine to pass the omnibus
county seat and public institutions bill
is still combining. The commonplace
legislation goes on quietly enough and
there is nothing 10 the under current
working except the absence of certain
members either from the city or from
the body of the house. The matter is
completely in control OF the men that
have the handling OF il in the house
and there are votes enough to bring il
up whenever wanted so it's delay is
simply due to detailed personal arrange
ments of distribution of benefits be-
tween the members of the combine
themselves.
1t was noticed that st. John of Okla
and all kinds of specuiations are rife
respecting the matters that keep him
away. 1t is understood that the great
est trouble in the way of an agreement
is the removal of the county seat from
Saltwater to Perkins and the taking off
of a portion Of Lincoln county and at
taching il 10 Payne
WHAT WILL THE COUNCIL DO?
Speculations are still uncertain as TO
what the council will DO with the bill
should the house pass it; but it is gen.
orally believed that it too will pass it.
The lobby from the different parts of
the territory interested has increased
this morning and in this matter the
week promises to be a lively one to the
end of the session. The session dies
Friday night at II o'clock AS has al
ways been the case, all kinds of meas
ures will be rushed through at the last
moment. Almost all the most import
ant measures touching the politics and
the finances of the territory are still
unidsposed of and prominent men in
terested are on the ground anxious that
they shall pass to suit them.
1t was not at first understood to be
but it is now known that the remove
the leasing of school lands from the
governors office 70 that of the secretay
OF the territory is part OF the scheme of
passing the omnibus county seat and
public institutions bill. 1t is from this
fact that matters are having so many
sides and SO many elements are work.

SYMPTOMS OF WEAKENING
The water mark of the combine 10
pass the omnibus county seat bill was
reached this afternoon on the vote to 10
cate another normal school in the terri
tory at Alva. The scheme to do so was
not in with the combine and the bill
was indefinitely postponed but still the
business of the cause fingered behind.
