DUBLIN PAPER SEIZED.
Contained Articles Against the king
incident Causes n Scene In
House of Commons.

Dublin, May 1.-THE police of Cork,
Limerick and other towns of Ireland
sliced all the copies of Mr.. William
o'Brien's weekly paper, the Irish Peo-
ple, found at the newsdealers' Friday.
The offending articles, it now appears,
were abusive attacks on King Edward,
Cardinal Vaughan and the address of
the king, which, the paper declares,
were such as might have been present
ed to Legree half a century ago.
London, May IL. - At the con-
clusion of the question in the
house of commons Friday John Dillon
(nationalist) moved the adjournment
of the house in order to call attention
to the seizures of the Irish People.
Mr.. Dillon complained that the action
of the authorities was grossly illegal
and asked whether it was due to the
attack on Mr.. Wyndham, the chief sec
rotary for Ireland, or to the attack on
the king. Mr.. Wyndham replied that
it was owing to the attack on the
king.
Continuing, Mr.. Dillon said he was
not concerned to defend the violence of
the attack, but any seizure should have
been made through the courts. Far
more violent attacks on Queen Victoria
had been made in English papers with
out their being seized. The present ac-
ton was blow at the liberty of the
press.
William Redmond (nationalist) sec
oh hn
article complained of as very proper
and patriotic attack on the conduct of
the chief secretary.
After John Redmond (nationalist)
had commented on the impolicy of the
governments action in Selling The
Irish People, which would simply have
the effect of fastening attention on
the article of The Irish People, many
copies of which were in the pockets
of members then in the house, and
many of which had gone to America,
Mr.. Balfour, the government leader,
denied that the government was at
lacking either the freedom of the
press or legitimate Irish agitation. He
asked was the publication of an OBJ
scene libel a necessary weapon for
the nationalists? No epithets he could
employ were too strong to describe
this foul and poisonous article. No
man in that house could expect any
government to allow an act of such
gross indecency to be committed with
impunity.
John Burns (socialist) expressed
the opinion that if the article had
been submitted to the king he would
have smiled and thrown it into the
waste paper basket.
Mr.. Wyndham, in defending the seiz-
ure, declined to ''soil his lips with
reading the attack on the king, which
constituted seditious libel, nor would
he wound the feelings of millions by
propagating the outrageous, gross
and scurrilous lies of the article"
The motion for an adjournment was
defeated by vote of 252 to GA.

NOT GUILTY.
Jury Returns a Verdict of Acquittal
ia the Celebrated Eastman
Murder Case.

Cambridge, Mass, May 10. - Prof.
Charles r. Eastman, of the Harvard
faculty, was found not guilty of the
murder of his brother-in-law, Richard
H. Grogan, Jr. The verdict was re-
turned at 9:S1 o'clock p. m. Saturday,
the jury having been out since 4:O5
o'clock. As a matter of fact, the jury
took much less time than this to arrive
at a verdict. The jury came into court
to report shortly before nine o'clock.
Judges Aiken and Gaskell were then
at the Colonial club in Harvard square
awaiting a summons, and it took half
an hour to get them into court. When
the judges arrived, the jury fled in
and the usual preliminaries were
droned through, while Eastman stood
in his place, almost quiyering with
suppressed emotion. There was no
hint of the nature of the verdict in
the countenances of the jurymen, and
no one knew until the foreman an
nounced it what was coming. When
it did come there was a stiffness of
death, and then everybody in the room
sighed with relief, a sigh eloquent of
satisfaction if not unanimous in it's
approval. Then the crowd broke into
cheers. All this had the effect of re-
storing the composure of Eastman and
his wife. While the verdict was being
announced the latter had looked
steadily away from the jury until the
fateful words came out. Then she tot
tered a little, but recovered quickly
and stepped over to the cage, being
the first one to offer her hand in con-
graduation.

THE TONE IS BETTER
Apparent Calm Succeeds Storm on
Wall Street.

New York, May 1.-THE calm that
succeeds the storm pervaded Wall
street Friday. The settlement with
Northern Pacific shorts at $50 large
ly eliminated the element of danger
that by mysterious processes created
the alarm of Thursday, and the state
ment that the stock clearances of
Thursday had been made without the
dishonoring of single check seemed
to lay the cornerstone of a new fab,
ric of confidence. The market opened
in rather feverish and unsettled
state, and there was a rather sharp
decline in prominent stocks, but later
the market steadied down and prices
recovered their earlier losses and be-
gan to advance. There was keen in
terest manifested in the final result
of the contest for supremacy in
Northern Pacific.
The leading contestants remain
silent, and conservative opinion pre-
fers to wait until there has been
count. Kuhn, Loeb g. Co. declined
to discuss the situation, and J. P.
Morgan & Co. showed a similar dis
inclination to take the public into
its confidence. There is growth in
the belief that the latter house has
succeeded in retaining the control,
and somewhat of a revulsion in the
sentimental feeling that swept the
financial district Thursday.
Both houses were engaged in their
settlements with the shorts, and all
through the morning representatives
of the latter streamed in to arrange
the reckoning. 1t was work that
lacked in cheer. Rain fell in drench-
ing sheets, and Broad and Wall
streets were toadstool gardens of
umbrellas. The strongest impress
sion that an observer got in the
street was of exhausted and worn
out men. The machinery of finance is
human, after all, and friction tells
upon it. There was first a period OF
tremendous activity that tested the
strength of the strongest, and then
two days of effort that was supreme
that left it's victims physically drawn
and mentally dull. There is no long
err room for doubt that the storm has
been weathered. The banks and
larger financial interests are at work
in rebuilding confidence. and stand
ready to further protect the market.
Losses Were StupendOus.
The losses Thursday were stupen-
dous. One commercial paper places
the losses in the bucket shops through
out the country at $4,000, 900 and if the
figure is anything like correct it con-
veys a profound impression of the
shrinkage in the legitimate places.
Naturally the greater part of these
were losses on paper, but they were all
sufficiently tangible to be computed
by owners and could at one time have
been realized upon in cash. The other
side of the story is short, but it is full of
tales of Yankee enchantment. The
men who had little dribs and dabs of
Northern Pacific and claimed for
tunes on them are generally the heroes
of these tales. Then there were the
few men who were wise enough to
profit by the slump of Thursday and
got the opportunity to do so. Every
where in the street Friday they were
holding post-mOrtems. Some of these
inquiries show that there are men
whom a quick recovery of the market
alone will save from ultimate bank
ruptcy.

A CLOUDBURST.
Great Damage and Some Loss OF
Life by Overlooked Creeks in
West Virginia.

Wheeling, W. Va, May ia cloud
burst east of Wheeling Friday night
caused the overlooking of Peters,
Chapers and Woods runs, tributaries
OF Wheeling creek. At Triadelphia,
the Baltimore & Ohio tracks were
covered with water for several
hours and trains were held up, in
GLIDING two passenger trains. At
Greggsville a little child, name I'M
known, is said to have been washed
away and drowned. Between Greggs-
vile and Leatherwood, a suburb, the.
wall of water came down ten feet in
height, taking bridges, outhouses and
logs. It is feared several lives were
lost, but nothing definite can be
learned In Wheeling the rainfall was
