5ordon May 13.-The Marquis of Sails
,nr, Speaking tonight at the banquet of

said:
"1t is a sad restrospect when we think
of the number of young lives that have
bsar auenched, the splendid hopes cut
short and the amount of blood shed in

ot wrong on the part of the empire is
absolutely absent. Indeed there are cir

of his country look back with eXultation
and gratitude upon the two years just

able to show that the spirit of our coun-

o.hcr period in our history.
When l was at the foreign office,
used 10 hear not infrequently that our
time had passed, that our star had set
and that we were living on the valor of
those who had gone before. The war in
South Africa has shown the strength of
England, which was never more con

the world now but knows that if it de
fed the might of England it would defy
one of the most formidable enemies u
could encounter
Hard Shot for Home Rule.
Subsequently, the Premier said:
If home rule had passed in 1898, what
would England's position, with a hostile
Irish government in Dublin, have been
to-day? What would our position have
been if we not only had to meet the
Transvaal and the Orange Free State,
but also an equally hostile Ireland by
cur side? We know now from our South
African experience the danger of letting
Ireland have a measure of Independence.
We know now that if we allowed those
who are leading Irish politics unlimited

New York, May 1S.-Under reassuring
news from London to the effect that
basis of settlement with the Northern Pa
citc shorts had been agreed upon, and
that j. p Morgan was lending the stock
fiat" for delivery in that market, the
New York Exchange began business to-
day strong. The first trading was well
distributed throughout the list and was
at prices generally higher than the close
on Friday. Union Pacific sold at JIG a
few minutes after 10 o'clock showing a
gain of $40 per share, as compared with
Thursdays low point. Developments in
the Northern Pacific situation are await
ed with the keenest interest but it was
the general opinion in Wall street to-day
that it would be some time before the
question of control would be definitely
settled 1t is believed that one party
to the controversy holds control through
the preferred stock and that several in
tricate legal points are involved con-
corning the right of the directors of the
company to retire the preferred stock at
par and thus deprive It of its voting
power
The heavy buying of Union Pacific,
which up to the present has not been
explained, was continued to-day and
during the FIRST haf-hour Of trading the
price rose on large transactions to 1913.
There were selling orders in Union Pa
cific above 120 and the stock fell back
to 1852 but an immediate rally followed.
Toward noon the market become quieter
and weaker. and generally declined on
small transactions.
There was no sale of Northern Pacific
common until 1:13 when a sale Of 100
shares was made at 160 an advance of

New York, May 13 The Evening. Post
says:
1T is believed that some arrangements
will be worked out by which Burlng-
ton will be held, so that It cannot pos
sbly be operated to injure any OF the
Western railroads. That is, the Union
Pacific will not only get an interest in
the property but the ST. Paul which.
next to Union Pacific, was most serious
ly jeopardized by the passing OF Bur
lington's control to the Northern trans
continental lines will share in the Bur
lington contract. so that it will be re-
moved absolutely as "A disturbing factor
in the railroad situation.
"It is not believed that J. p. Morgan
e. Co will be displaced as the interest
responsible before the public for the man
agement of that property, but there was
some suggestion to-day that the alliance
between Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Morgan, which
has only been of about six months dura-
ton will be ended There is good ground
for saying that while Mr.. Hill has prob
ably retained the large interest i'm North
ern Pacific which he acquired last sum
mer when the stock declined below 90
on the reduction of the dividend, the most
influential of Mr.. Hills friends in the di-
Tectorate have liquidated their holdings
They we're with Mr.. Hill, who is not a
Northern Pacific director, the most en-
thusiastic advocates of the Burlington
deal. This was long opposed by the older
Northern Pacific people.

Maj. Nose to cease his unauthorized as

sufficient to support the provincial gov

appropriations of $1,000 to 5000 will be
made from the insular treasury in favor
OF several of the privinces. These appro-
priations will be considered to be loans
IN addition the provincial laws will be
amended so as to require cedula of one
peso from all males of over Is. half Of
which will go to the province and half
to the municipality.
The treasury at Washington has begun
the payment of sundry army expenses,
Including rents and rewards for surren-
dered arms, formally borne by the insu-
lar treasury.
Col. Woodruff Not Involved.
1t is considered certain that Col Charles
A. Woodruff, the chief commissary officer
had no cOnniVance with the contractor ;

explained by the fact that the latter paid
the renting agents a portion of rent for
Col. Woodruff's house, above the price
which was named to Col. Woodruff. This
amount Col. Woodruff offered to refund
when he discovered it, having in the
meanwhile left the house. But the agents
declined to accept it.
