DUCE ONE IN THE HOUSE ON
-, MONDAY.
THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION.
PURCHASE by TENANTS is EXPECT
ED TO SETTLE THE OLD CON-
TROyERSY.
NEW MAVERICK CASE COMMENT.
MIR. Bayard Blamed Because the
American Woman Is Not Already
Freed From Prison.

LONDON, April 11.-Gerald Balfour,
the chief secretary for Ireland, on
Monday next 4 will introduce in the
house an Irish land bill of far larger
scope than that brought forward by
John Morley when he was chief sec
rotary for Ireland in the liberal ad-
ministration. 1t proceeds on the prin-
ciple that purchase by the occupying
tenant is the ultimate solution of the
land question in Ireland. Mr. Balfour's
task has been made easier by the in
creasing prosperity of Ireland, where
agitation is becoming decidedly at a
discount. The savings bank deposits
In ireland now. amount to nearly f8,-
OOO,0OO the highest figures ever record
ed. Besides, the bulk Of the evicted
tenants have returned to their hold
ings, and Smith-Barry, as an example,
has just come to terms with all his ag-
r1cultural tenants in Tipperary and
other important settlements are in
progress.
The question of abolishing the office
of lord lieutenant of Ireland and ap-
pointing member of the royal family,
possibly the Duke of York, the heir
presumptive, to reside permanently in
Ireland, is again being agitated. The
question will be raised shortly in the
house Of commons. 1t Is said that the
scheme finds favor with Irishmen of
all parties, and that it is very popu-
lar in Ireland
The resolution introduced by Mr. Call
in the United States senate in the case
Of Mrs. Maybrick has produced many
sarcastic comments in the press. Some
or the newspapers here intimate that
the senate interferes with everybody's
business. But the friends of Mrs. May
brick and portion of the press think
that the senate's action will be bene-
fetal to the unfortunate prisoner. The
Echo says:
while the Senate's action may, for
the moment, harden the so-called ju-
d1c1ai mind of England, it will compel
partial demonstration of the case
by the press of this country, which
will ultimately move the home office
The home Office will be compelled by
the commotion on both sides of the
Atlantic to alter its policy, and, when
additional light has been thrown on the
case, we may expect a reprieye after
a sleepy delay" l s4-s
The friends of Mrs. Maybrick are
severe in their criticisms of Ambassa-
dor Bayard. They even go so far as
to say that Mrs. Maybrick would have
been free by this time had any other
man occupied the post. They claim
that Mr. Bayard is now so afraid of
transgressing what is termed "diplo-
matte usage" that he hesitates to take
action in the matter Although the
q i'm to
natures, was transmitted through Mr..
Bayard by the state department, nei-
Their the foreign office nor the home
office informed the United States en-
bassy of it's recent decision in the May
brick case.
A sensational arrest has been made
at Reading of woman named Dyer
and her son-in-law, Palmer. charged
with numbering number of infants
The bodies of six children, who had APP
parently been strangled to death, have
been recovered from the Thames, into
; which they were thrown, weighted
down with rocks. 1t is added that let
tiers were found at the woman's house
showing that many Of the parents with
whom she and her supposed accom-
plice had dealings were aware Of the
fate intended for the infants. These
letters, it appears, were from persons
in all classes of society. The coroners
have been puzzled at the recovery of
so many bodies from the Thames be-
tween Mapping and Battersea, but the
authors of the mysterious murders
could not be traced. Seventeen chill
dren are known to have been commit
ted to the care Of Mrs. Dyer and her
son-in-law, Palmer, since Christmas. Of
these seventeen children, at the pres
ent time the whereabouts of only four
can be astertained by the authorities.
