THE IRISH PARTY
HeaIy's Connection With the Omagh Election
Affair Discussed

Healy's Connection With the Omagh Eiection
Affair Discussed
LONDON, August 16.-The Irish party
met again today in comIhittee room ID,
for the election of consultative commit
tee. Mr.. Healy's supporters seemed to
be apathetic, and several of them re-
mained in the house of commons while
the meeting was proceeding. After three
hours discussion of Mr.. Healy's con-
duct in the Omagh affair, the meeting
adjourned, but it was resumed at 8 O'Clock
and sat until midnight A strongly
worded motion by J. G. Flynn, NJ. P. for
Cork county, censuring Mr.. Healy' con-
duct, was rejected without division.
According to report of the meeting
given out for publication, John Dillon
read the correspondence in connection
with sthe Omagh affair. motion by
Mr.. Healey that all the correspondence
be published was voted down.
1t will be remembered that at the Ma
tionalist meeting at Omagh, county Ty-
rome, on July sth, Mr.. Healy accused John
Dillon of selling the Tyrone seats in par
lament to the English Liberals. He pro-
dnced letter from Mr.. Edward Blake to
Prlvy Counsellor Dickson, asserting that
Tyrone should be subsidized in the sum
of f2OO, 600 by the Liberals. He asserted
that Thomas Ellis, the then government
whip, consented to this on condition
that the seats should be considered LIB
eral and not Home Rule.
The following We're elected as the con-
sultatlve committee: Edward Blake,
Michael Davitt, John Dillon, Timothy
Healy, +. L. Knox, Arthur O'Connor,
Il. 7. O'Connor and Thomas Sexton. The
meeting then adjourned until Monday.
The Times says that the Irish meeting,
to all intents and purposes, resulted in
a Healylte victory. The Dillonlte major
ity was so narrow that when the commit
tee was elected a fair share of represen Ia
tion was accorded the Healyites, nam ely,
T. NJ. Healy, T.. r. V. Knox and Arthur
O'Connor. Mondays meeting will be
devoted to questions of policy.

treasury without paying premium. The
fact OF ruling premium would soon
become known, but the fact that special
efforts are made to keep it secret that
anv premiums are paid-if such is really
the case-seems to indicate that the syn
dicate has an object in keeping its plan
quiet.
In view OF the discussion that is now
going on in the newspapers as to the gov
ernment bond syndicate's source of gold
supply it might be well to state that since
its formation the syndicate has endeav-
ored to secure for the United States
treasury the greater part of the output OF
gold mines throughout the United States.
They have not paid direct premium for
gold bars, but they have. as is usual with
bullion dealers, paid the expenses of trans
ferring the gold from the smelters to the
government assay office and some times
have divided these expenses with the
sellers of bullion and have paid the usual
brokerage to bullion dealers for securing
the gold bars. By this means it is be
lieved the syndicate has secured gold
bars to the amount of 50, 900, 900 at no
q reater cost than the normal differences
in value between coin and bullion. The
greater portion of this gold has been rep
resented by assay Office checks given in
payment for the bars and these checks are
now being turned into the sub-treasury,
legal tenders being accepted by the syndi-
cate in payment thereof.

The Omaha Police Contest

LINCOLN, Aug. 16.-The papers to
test the legality of the new fire and police
board at Omaha we're lodged with the
clerk of the state supreme court today.
Both sides were well represented by coun-
sci. The encouragement appears for the

two grounds-first. unconstitutionalitv
and that the attorney general and the
third mem ber of the new board, had no
authority to appoint without the co-opera-

the act is ir conflict with the state con-

G.uging Beer Capacity

In Southern Germany, where incredible
quantities of beer are drunk daily and
where the steady customers sit for hours
at table, drinking glass after glass, mus
after mug. filed by buxom maids, some
genius has introduced the 'beeromater,
attached to the bottom of the drinking
vessel-a mum bered dial with one hand .
With each glassful or mugful which the
drinker receives the hand is advanced
one number. AS the hand cannot be

cisss perfect control to the saloon keep

DISAGREEING DOCTORS
Blood Had to Flow Because They Differed OF
aCase

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 16.-At
noon today the reports of several
pistol shots in rapid succession were
heard to issue from the office of DR.. II.
r. Holmes, in the Dekum building, cor
ner of Third and Washington streets.
The tenants of the building rushed in
and found the PROSTATE bodies of DR..
Holmes and DR.. Andrew A. Ausplund,
each holding smoking pistol in his
hand. There were no other persons in
the room. Ausplund had three holes in
his body--one in the head, another in
the breast and the third in the right
wrist. Holmes was wounded in two
places-one in the arm, and the other in
the body, just below the left nipple.
Ausplund was taken to the hospital and
Holmes to his residence. Ausplund's
wounds will undoubtedly result fatally,
while the physicians think Holmes will
recover. 1t is not known just what was
the cause of the shooting. but 1t is
thought that it was due to a criticism of
Holmes on AuspIund's $ method of treat
5ng patient in the Portland hospital
and that Ausplund called at Holmes
bffice to make him retract.

OF INTEREST TO CANADA
Question Respecting the Restrictions on the
Impo-tatiOn OF Cattle

LONDON, August 16.-A question of
great interest to Canada was asked in the
house of commons today by Mr.. Price,
who inquired if the government was
aware that the present exclusion of Can
aiian cattle had caused and was causing
severe loss in some of the agricultural
districts, and whether the restriction can
be removed.
The president of the board OF agricul-
ture. Mr.. Waiter Long, replied, saying
that as late as July 10th cases of cattle
suffering from pleuro pneumonia had
been found among the cargoes coming
from Canada and the government in con-
sequence must maintain the restriction
placed on such cattle. Mr.. Long added
taht the government was communica ting
with the government of the dominion Of
Canada on the subject.
The under secretary OF the foreign
Office. George W. Curzon, replying to a
question by Mr.. Il lward +. Carson, said
