NEW IRISH LAND BILL
INTRODUCED IN THE COMMONS BY
SECRETARY MORLEY.
Revolution Begun by Cuban Patriots
Reported to Have Ended in Dis
aster-Students In Trouble.

LONDON, March 4.-Hon. John Morley,
Home Secretary for Ireland introduced the
new Irish land bill in the House of Com
mons to-day. In doing SO he said that he
accepted the declaration of Unionist belief
made by the member from South Tyrone,
Mr.. Thomas Wallace Russell, that the land
question was at the bottom of the dis
turbanee and i'll feeling in Ireland, and
that Parliament was competent to make
such laws as the condition of Ireland re-
quired. Continuing, Mr.. Morley said that
the first time the principle that tenant
had a right or interest of property in his
holding was embodied in an act of Parlia-
ment of 1870 The act of 1881 granted the
further right to devise or sell the tenancy
whenever the tenant liked, fixed a fair rent
in court and enabled him to renew his
lease from time to time. These acts We're
the charter of the Irish tenants rights
and privileges. The reasons for asking the
House of Commons to amend the acts OF
1851 now was that in October next the ten
ants could have rents renewed for FOUR
teen years. 1t was desirable, therefore, to
make the circumstances of these renewals
as easy as possible.
Mr. Morley concluded speech lasting
two hours with final proposal to re-enact
Section 13 of the act of 1891, with slight
of the evicted tenants. He then made a
fervent appeal to the House to carefully
consider the bill. On the conclusion of
Mr. Morley's address the Irish land bill
passed it's first reading without a division
being taken.

Mr.. westinghouse.s Views.

PITTSBCRG, March 4.-Spealxing or the
effect of the Bate decision on the interests
of the electrical companies generally, George
Westinghouse. jr., said to-day: The con-
troll of one side OF the Bate case was Sc
cured by the General Electric Company
with a view of having the lower courts
reversed as to the Interpretation of the law
determining the life of American patents.
The Westinghouse Electric Company, in
self-defense. naturally took the opposite side
and it seems that in such defense Ii has
been successful. The electric lighting
patents affected by the Bate decision are
the earlier ones, relating to the use OF
continuous currents and the decision thus
affects besides the General Electric Conn
station, by means of continuous currents.
The later patents relating to alternating
current apparatus, details and systems are
not affected by the decision; and as the
Westinghouse Electric Company was pro-
motor of the system of electric lighting in
the United States and has secured very
large number of early and important patents,
it is left in a position of great strength as
compared with its competitors, more es-
pecially with reference to the distribution
of power by means of alternating currents.
the use of which at Niagara Falls and in
other places for power transmission has sud-
denly given this class of apparatus great
prominence. It would thus seem that the
General Electric Company, which has here
tofore heen the aggressor and plaintiff,
will now have to bend it's energies in the
direction of protecting itself from the
penalty of its own actual fnfringements.

OMAHA, Neb., March 4--Startling devel-
opments were made in the Union Pacific
cneck-raising swindle to-day which are cal
culated to alarm all corporations paying in
checks. The discovery was made that the
gang which operated on the Union Pacific
system has a method of erasing ink with
acid which defies the best chemically pre-
pared paper, even that which is guaranteed
to show the slightest presence of acid or
other foreign substances The amount Sc
cured by the work of the gang is not yet
known, but 1t was not as large as at first
supposed. The fact Is not regarded as of
much Importance, however, as compared
with the new process which is puzzing the
company's chemists and detectives The pa
per on which the checks are printed has
been regarded until now as being absolutely
proof against manipulation. but the opera
tons OF the gang of experts shattered all
claims OF the inventors of the paper that

WASHINGTON. March 4.--The Fifty-third
Congress adjourned at noon to-day. 1t were
a waste of time and temper TO dwell on it's
record. Everywhere in the country the
present Congress will be abused editorially.
and with right, for never did Congress
enter on it's work under such auspices as
did this Fifty-third, and never did Con-
gress fail as ingloriously to justify any of
it's hopes and promises as did this same
Fifty-third The expiring hours Of the
House were dull. After all the feverish
speculations by embryonic journalists on
the dreadful results that would follow on
the failure of Congress to pass the appro-
priation bills, 1t was fiat and tame, indeed.
to see all those bills safely out Of the way
long before IL O'Clock The last hour ON
both sides was unnecessary, so far as pub
lie business was concerned, but on each
side it was not without incident. In the
House there was the episode of the cour-
teous resolutions OF thanks to Speaker

only by the inexplicable conduct of Mr..
Reed and Mr.. Dalzell. two Republican lead
ers. On the Senate side there was the
scene In which Call was incontinently
snubbed by the members OF his own party
under the particular leadership Of Mr.. Har-
ris. One noticeable incident aroused CON-
ment ON the Senate side-more noticeable
because of it's omission that for any other
cause.-the biennial farce of turning back

Der was not done to-day. President Cleve-
land had sent word unofficially, perhaps,
but none the less significantly, that ne
would not come to the Capitol and would
not sign bills that failed TO reach him at
the White House before the constitutional
hour for adjournment. The Senate knows
Mr.. Cleveland sufficiently well from expert
ence to recognize that he means what he
says, and consequently, Tor the first time
in many years. there was an absolute alb
sence of that feverish haste to rush
through bills in the dying moments of the

LYNCHING IN THE SOUTH.
Topic Discussed by Yesterdays Meeting
of Methodist Pastors

"Our National Disgrace-Lynchings
In the South" was the topic of a paper
read at yesterdays meeting of Metho-
dist pastors in Elm Park church by Rev.
c. A. MCGEE, pastor of the Howard
Place African Methodist Episcopal
church. The meeting was the regular
weekly gathering of Methodist pastors
and was presided over by Rev. G. T..
Price.
Mr.. McGee's paper offered no remedy
other than the enforcement of the law
on the lynching evil, the extent and de-
tails of which are quite generally
known in the North through the me-
dium of newspapers. Mr.. McGee de-
plOred the prevailing condition of af-
fairs and contended the lynchings are
actuated more by race hatred than the
spirit Of revenge. or rape, the general
cause Of hanging lies, he said the crime
was usually magnified and that the H.
literal whites of the South were quite
as prone to commit such acts as the
blacks. During the war the whites
were the more guilty. he said.
A great deal of the material in Mr..
McGee's paper was supplied by news
paper clippings. 1t was quite freely
discussed. Among the ministers pres
ent were Revs. DIR. w. II. Pearce, DIR.
]. G. Eckman, William Edgar, A. f.
Chaffee. John Davy, J. L. Race, F.. p.
Doty, King, of Taylor, and Cochrane,

Coroner's Jury Says the Death of Little
Albert Kuhn Was Due to the Company's
Carclcssncss.

The coroner's jury impaneled to in
quire into the death of Albert Kuhn, a
nine-year-old South Side boy, on the
tracks of the Delaware and Hudson
Canal company, at Brook street, last
night censured the company for negli-
gence. Following is the verdict re-
turned by Jurymen w. f. Campbell, j.
c. Rosar, Frank Mcdonnell, David
Burke, c. J. Ruddy and Patrick Roach,
who met in Coroner Kelley's Office:
We, the jury impaneied to Inquire into
the causes Of death Of Albert Kuhn, who
was killed on the Delaware and Hudson
railroad track at Brook street on Wednes-
day afternoon. Dec. Is, 1885, at 2.10 O'Clock,
find that carelessness was shown sby the
above company In two ways: First, that
they neglected to place a gate at Brook
street, which is a public thoroughfare,
and, second, the high rate Of speed which
the trains are run at this point. We find
in the examination that the witnesses
swore the train was running at the rate
Of forty miles an hour. which far exceeds
the speed allowed by the laws of the city,
and. after due consideration. do highly
censure the Delaware and Hudson Rail-
road company.
