TELEGRApHIC.


the first quarter of the present year, has
been greeted with great satisfaction
and it is pointed out that the increase is
due to all round development of trade
and industry.
The resolutions introduced by Gail, IN
the United Stated senate, in the case of
Mrs. Florence May brick, an American
woman undergoing q sentence of impris-
onment for life, after having been con-
victed OF causing the death Of her hus-
band by poisoning, produced many sar-
castle comments in the press. Some
newspapers here intimate that the SEN
ate interiors with every body's business.
But friends Of Mrs. May brick and por-
ton Of the press, think the sep ste's &C
ton will be beneficial to the unfortun-
ate prisoner. The Echo for instance
says:
''Whiie the senate's action will, for
the present, harden the so called judicial
mind of England, yet it will compel
press of this country, which will ultim-
ately move the home off 20 e. nd it is prob
able we shall see the same result as
with regard to Venezuela. The home
office will be compelled by the commo-
it's policy, and when additional light
has been thrown on the case, We may
expect reprieve after sleepy delay"
Friends of Mrs. May brick are severe
10 their criticisms of United States Am
bassador Bsysrd. They even go so far
as to say Mrs. Msybri would have
been free at this time bad any other
man occupied the post of ambassador OF
the United States here. They claim
that Bayard is now so afraid OF trans
crossing what is termed diplomatic us-
ages" he hesitates to take action in the
matter.
Gerald Bslfour. chief secretary for
Ireland, Monday next, will introduce an
lrish land bill with a far larger scope
than that brought forward by John Nor
ley, when chief secretary for Ireland, in
the Liberal administration. 1t proceeds
on the principal that purchase by an &C.
cupying tenant is the ultimate solu-
tion Of the land question in Ireland.
BalfOur's task has been easier by the in
creasing prosperity of Ireland, where
agitation Is becoming decidedly at dis
count. The savings banks deposits in
Ireland now amount to nearly 8,0CO,O Coo
pounds, the highest figures ever record
ed. Besides, the bulk Of evicted tenants
have returned to their holdings, and
Smith Barry, as an example, has just
come to terms with all his agricultural
tenants in Tippersry, and other impoI-
tant settlements in progress. The ques-
ton of abolishiDg the office of lord lieu
tenant of Ireland and appointing a mem
Der of the royal family, possibly the
Duke OF York, heir presumtive, to reside
permanently in Ireland, is aRain bsiD9
sgitated. The question will be raised
shortly In the house OF commons. 1t lie
stated the scheme finds favor with Irish
men of all parties.
WASHINGTON, April 13-The house
