NEW IRISH LAND BILL.
Measure Does Not Provide for cons-
pulsory Purchase.

London, March 26.--The chief sec
retary for Ireland, George Wyndha Az.
has introduced the Irish land bill in
the house of commons. s5
Mr.. Wyndham said the object OF the
bill was TO amend tire hand aptsfyhasr
law. The government could not ig-
more the problem, owing to the acute
crisis in agriculture which was now
at a standstill.

thorizes the land committee to take
over the whole or part Of an estate
whose owner is willing to sell The
committee will then resell it to the
tenants, but the assent of thres-quar-
tiers Of the number Of tenants is neces-
sary before the committee will under.
take to transfer any part of an
estate. The landlord may re-
purchase part of his estate, not
exceeding one-fifth Of the total
area from the commission, thus be
coming tenant purchaser, in case he
desires to continue to reside on the
estate TIE bill does not provide for
compulsory purchase. All the trans
fer arrangements are in the hands of
the commission and are simplified as
much as possible. 9s II s .#si S ii
The bill provides that, cash not ex-

Does Not Represent Fighting Beers.
London, March 26.-Sir George
1oldie, vice president Of the Royal
Biographical society and founder Of
Nigeria, who has just returned from
\ thorough investigation of South
Africa, where he conferred with Lord
Miner, Lord Kitchener, Cecil Rhodes,
Sir Walter Healy- Hutchinson, che gov
ernor of the Cape Of Good Hope, and
numbers of other influential men,
brings home rather pessimistic ideas
of the general situation from Brit
ish point of view. a..5 f.
Things in Cape Colony he regards as
especially dangerous and he considers
that the most serious difficulties will
be encountered there in the near fu-
ture. In the course of an interview
with a representative of the Associat-
ed Press Sir George Goldie, while rec.
ognizing the possible Importance Of
Acting President Schalkburger's step,
said he was convinced that the ques-
tion Of peace or war rests in the hands
of President Steyn and that Mr.. Kru-
ger and the other Beers in Europe no.
longer represent Boer opinion. The
real difficulty in the path Of peace, he.
believes. is the question of granting
amnesty to the Cape and Natal rebels
and Sir George says the vague prom
ises of the British government have
not the slightest weight while the
fighting burghers are in their present
state of mind. Sir George Goldie adj
vocates granting amnesty to the reh-
els, but he insists that everyone must
be disfranchised for life. This. he de-
clares, would go far towards allaying
the bitterness of the loyalists. Sir
George deprecates any attempt to per-
NIT the use Of a dual language. He
says English alone must be the official
language and adds that the fact that
practically the whole OF the rising gen
eraffcns sf the. two republics are now
I In the concentration camps and are
rapidly learning English will be of
great aid in this direction. He esti-
mates that 100000 armed men will be
needed in South Africa for many years
after the conclusion of peace.
Sir George Goldie says he failed to
meet any Beers who yet recognized

washington, March &c May 20,
1902, is the date fixed for turning over
the Island Of Cuba to its people. The
1hange of date was made, if not at the
Mggestion, then with the full approval
OF President-elect Palma and his ad-
visors, Seniors Tamaya and Queseda,
who were with him at the war depart
ment during the day. This date should
be a memorable one in Cuban history
for it will not only mark the acquisi-
tion of full independence but will be
the Cuban Inauguration day, 1t having
been determined that President Palma
shall be inaugurated on the same day
that American control OF the island
ceases. s3
All but the smallest details of the
change in Cuba have been planned
and those remaining details were un-
der adjustment at a meeting held at
the war department during the day.
Beside Secretary Root, President
Palma and Seniors Tamaya and Quese-
da. General Wood attended. The
meeting occurred in the secretarys s
office. In addition to the final selec-
tion Of May 90 as Cuban independence
day two other Importance conclusions
were reached. The first was that Gen
eral Wood should Immediately upon
his return to Cuba issue a call conven-
ing the first Cuban congress in session
on May 10 in order that the body
might employ the 10 days following
that date in supplying any legislation
necessary to the assumption Of full
powers in the island. The other con-
clusion was that there should be no
halfway evacuation Of the island; the
present disposition is to move the en-
L tire United States contingent, civil
and military, away from the island. not
even leaving a corporaIs guard Of
United States soldiers i'm any Of the
camps. This. however. does not Al
ply to the coast defences at several
points in the island. These will be gar
risoned by United States troops under
command of Colonel William L. Has
kins. II this programme Is not exc
cuted it will be Tor the sole reason
that the Cuhans themselves, through
their authorized offeials, request that
the departure of the United States
troops be delayed for time. &

Sidney Jackson Given a Month at Hard
Labor

Sidney Jackson received a month in
Jail at hard work this morning at the
hands Of Judge Wilcox for assault and
battery. From the evidence the case
was most fragrant jackson was allegy
to have gone home in an intoxicated
condition New Years night and at
tackled Ana Malie, his wife. The evil
dence went to prove that,he had struck
her with his fists and beat and dragged
her about the house and finally taken
her out into the yard. He tore her
clothes from her and was further alleg-
ed to have kicked her in a number of
places.
The woman IS a very small person
making the attack seem all the more
outrageous. She failed to appear in
court yesterday to testify against Jack
son. This morning at the trial, she ex-
planned that Jackson had warned her
not to go to the court as there would be
no use for the Judge would discarge
him. Judge Wilcox inflicted a severe
punishment for he considered the case
very fragrant.
William Meyer got on a New Years
jag also and beat Mrs Meyers and
forced her 70 seek refuge with a friend.
The court fined him $25.

FINED.
Dr. sloggett Wants to Know About an
Appropriation-Taroena Proposed for
the Leper Settlement.

Kewalo citizens may expect the
drainage for which they have been
fighting so long to begin next week. ac-
cording TO statements made by Attor-
ney General Dole yesterday at the
meeting of the Board of Health. Dole
did not say that the appropriation was
available, nor that there was any cash
set aside for the work, but he remark
ed mysterlously that negotiations were
in progress and that something is
very likely to be done at once"
Dr. Sloggett appeared to be a bit bel
ligerent, and inclined to go on a hunt
for the 100000 appropriation. He said
that the work must go ahead at once.
The condition Of Kewalo is enough to
nullify all our work i'm trying to keep
the city sanitary and healthful" said
the doctor. 1T is no use our trying to
do anything with a district in that con-
dition."
Dole again remarked that "negotia-
tons were in progress, but said that
he could not give it away yet, but he
felt sure that work would begin at once.
The doctors decided that they would
have to be satisfied with this assurance
for one week more, and the matter was
postponed until the next meeting.
An offer was received from r. w. Ho-
bron to furnish taroena for the leper
settlement, when pai-ai ran short. The
matter was referred to superintendent
Reynolds, Mr. Moore and E. A. Mott
Smith.
Bids were received on the hides and

sold to f. F. Porter at 61a cents per

EXCLUSION.
STRONG BELIEF THAT THE BILL
WILL PASS.
Treasury Department Said to Favor it.
CALIFORNIA; Delegation Said to Be
Satisfied with the outlook.

WASHINGTON, December 27--ReL-
resentatiYe Kahn was at the Treasury
Department this morning and had a
long conversation with Assistant Sec
rotary Taylor in regard to Chinese eX-
clusion. Secretary Taylor assured Kahn
that the department was heartily IN
favor of the Kahn bill as amenueu by
the committee in charge of it, and that
the friends of exclusion could count on
the influence of the department IN its
interest. The only change suggested Ly
Taylor was that the regula tions en-
forcing the law should originate with
the Secretary of the Treasury instead
of with the immigration Commissioner
as the Secretary of the Treasury is the
Commissioners official superior. This
amendment will be made to the bill.
| Secretary Taylor's assurance of sup
port is significant, as he has not here
tOfore been friendly to exclusion. He
| says now, however. that the exclusion
bill is sure to pass and that Congress
might as well do a thorough job while it
is at 1t. He spoke of the lOOpholes in
the Geary act, which are guarded
against in the new bill. The principal
| difficulty with the Geary act has been
the latitude permitted to collectors in
constituting its provisions. When a col
lectOr construed it literally, as WIS the
custom with Collector Jackson of San
| Francisco, the Chinese came i'm at the
rate OF several thousand a year. Since
| Collector Stratton assumed office the
! Chinese have given San Francisco the
| So-by and now come over the Canadian
1Dari6p m, the Nayy York bordar ,,,hara
! certain officials still construe the law
! literally. Under the new law the va
rious classes Of Chinese are so de-
scribed as to leave little to the individ-
ual opinions of the collectors or court
commissioners.
Senator Perkins was at the Treas
/ ury Department today and received the
| same assurances as were extended to
Kahn. Perkins will introduce the same
/ bill in the Senate. Both are much
| pleased with the strong position taken
/ by the department.
! Representative Kahn said: TT is of
great Importance to us that the Treas
ury Department has come out strongly
on our side. I am particularly pleased
with the change In Secetary Taylor's
attitude. He is in direct charge of inn
migration affairs, and can do much to
help u.s."
Senator Perkins said: People tell
me they fear opposition to exclusion IN
the Senate but l fail to hear os it from
the Senators, and I have tai Sed with
many of them. think there Will be
no trouble at all in passing the commit
tee bill"

of the nutritive and curative
properties Of Pure Cod Liver
Oil, extracted by us from fresh
cod livers, combined with the
Compound Syrup of Hypophos-

such girls. 1t contains all the
fesh-fOrming and strengthening
qualities Of the oil without its
loathesome taste. The most sem
sitive and feeble can take it as
they take syrup, and digest it
perfectly. Taken before meals
it creates an appetite, stops the
emaciating process, puts flesh
on the thin and bOny body,
and ruddy cheeks soon tell the

NO PROSPECTS THERE
Russell HARPER ROASTS THE
PHILIPPINES.
Says Present Peaceful Conditions Sim
ply Upheld by United States Army.
Little Chance for White Man.

In the opinion of Russell Harper a
newspaperman, the Philippines is no
place for a white man to live and the
sooner the United States gets rid Of
what he terms a white elephant" the
better off the Mainland will be.
Mr. Harper is well known here as he
has passed through Honolulu on num-
Der of occasions, travelling to and from
Manila. On one of his trips last year,
he was aboard the Rio de JaneirO when
that vessel was lost. He fairly went
down with the boat and when he was
picked up he was unconscious and one
of his legs was broken. AS the result
of that accident, he walks with a bad
limp.
Il started the Manila Critic" said
Mr.. Harper yesterday, but l found
conditions so absolutely unsatisfactory,
that 1 disposed of my interest and re-
tired. I am through with the Philip
pines. They are no place for white
people to live and the prospects are
very bad. There is nothing to the for
estry, of which so much has been said,
and so far as the gold deposits are con-
cerned, prospectors report that gold
is found in only small quantities. Agri-
culture and coal and copper industries
give more promise.
The natives are dead against the
American rule and all this talk about
the place being subjugated is rot.
Peace is maintained only by the pres
ence of the American forces. Let the
army be withdrawn and you will see
how the natives will rise. The climate
Is such that no white person can live
there with comfort or any hope of keep
ing their health"
