MONEY FOR IRISH CAUSE.
Within Six Months America WIFI
Raise a 800 600 Fund.

Boston, Oct. 21.--John F. Finerty, of
Chicago, was to-day unanimously re-
elected president of the United Irish
League of America for the ensuing
year. The other officers elected are:
Vice-Presidents, Patrick Egan of New
York; Michael j. Redding of Balti-
more; secretary, John O'Callahan,
Boston; treasurer, T. D. Fitzpatrick,
of Boston.
The convention completed its work
this afternoon and adjourned after adj
dresses by John E. Redmond and Ed
ward Blake. A resolution was adopted
providing that 100000 be raised with
in the next six months for the cause
of Ireland, that the convention pledge
itself for the amount, and that after
the sum named has been raised the
league guarantees to give dollar for
dollar with the landlords fund, while
the struggle continues.
Commenting on this resolution, Mr..
Redmond in his address said:
THE Irish land trust has raised a
fund of 100000 to crush the Irish Ma
tional League and to drive out of pub
lie Mr.. Dillon, Mr.. Davitt, Mr.. O'Brien
and myself.
IF such a thing was possible. what
a terrible calamity it would be for the
Irish people.
"You have pledged 100000 in six
months to meet the present and urgent
necessities of the movement and have
further pledged yourselves, to give dol
lar for dollar on whatever sum is put
into the landlord trust. This important
action of yours will be read with dis
may in England and Ireland where
there is opposition to our cause"

A ROLAND FOR HIS OLIVER.
Hill Makes Tart RetOrts TO Richards
Queries--The Bean and the Mote.

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 21.--In the
hearing of the suit against the so-call-
ed railway merger, Solicitor General
Richards to-day resumed the cross-ex-
animation of President i. j. Hill of the
Northern Securities and Great North
ern Railway companies, questioning
him in regard to Mr.. Hill's statement
that one reason for organizing the
holding company was to prevent dan
ger OF raids on stock. Mr.. Hill ex-
planned that stock held by a holding
company would be less on the market.
How does it come about that the
Union Pacific holds about eighty mill
lions of the Northern Securities Com
pany?"
"That is a. matter that does not con-
Germ us. but ii does concern you"
Pressing the same line of questions,
Mr.. Richards was told that Mr.. Harri-
man or anyone else who wished might
buy Northern Securities stock
1--WE have tried" he said, ITO make
1t as difficult as we could fairly for
such raids to prove successful"
The next line OF questions pertained
to the matter of rates and joint rates
and was gone into considerably In de-
tail. Mr.. Hill insisted in answering
one of the questions that certain sug-
gested rates could not be considered
sidered because they we're unlawful.
Mr.. Hill said his coal rates had for
several years been lower than those of
the Reading or the Lackawanna rail-
roads, and Mr.. Day said he believed
there had been some complaint to that
effect in the East, whereupon Mr.. Hill
suggested:
II have for a long time wondered why
the gentlemen in charge of looking
after such matters have not taken some
action In regard to it,"
He said he had made no attempt to
influence rates on the Burlington. The
acquisition of the Burlington had not
diverted traffic from other lines to the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern.
but had actually created new traffic
for them.
The effect IL the Burlington had be-
come the property of the Union Pa
eific would hive been so severe on the
Great Northern that he would have
recommended a sale at once. 1t would
have absolutely prevented the getting
of business in the Middle West 1t
was necessary to reach that section.
and the Burlington was the best means
of reaching 1t.
Mr.. Hill was excused and the hear
ing adjourned until tomorrow.

FULL RELIEF NOT EXPECTED.
VIII Be Months Before Coal Short
age Is Made Up.

Philadelphia, Oct. 21.-There has been
an exodus of mine workers from this
city since an early resumption of work
in the anthracite region became a GER
tainty. In consequence work at the
new city filtration plants is handicap
ped and it has been found necessary
to send to Virginia for 100 negroes.
1t is not likely that the normal pro-
duction of coal will be mined for sew
eral months. Officials of the Philadel-
phia and Reading Coal and Iron Com
pany estimate a production of $4,000
tons next week and 100, 900 tons the fol-
lowing week. The company's daily
output under normal conditions is 49,
900 tons. An official of the company
said to-day:
1.-The total output for ali districts
taken on an average is approximately
4,500,0 900 tons per month. A state of
idleness at the mines for five months
means a shortage in the supply of g.
500, 900 tons and ii will be several
months before this can be regained IN
der the mostfavorable circumstances"

MUCH FEAR OF A STRIKE.
GEORGIA RAILROAD ENGINEERS
READY FOR TROUBLE.

Assistant Grand Chief YoungsOn and
Chairmen of AdJusters OF Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers
From Eight Connecting Lines Con-
fer ga MISUNDERSTANDING the GeOr-
gia Railroad Engineers Demands
Are Just and Must BE Granted.
Augusta, Oct. 21.-Some time ago
when the Committee of Engineers from
the Georgia Railroad waited on Gen.
eral Manager Scott, there was much
talk among their associates and friends
of an impending strike Then came
Assistant Grand Chief Youngson of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
and after few days there was a ces-
sation of strike talk.
There seemed to be an expectation of
amicable adjustment or at any rate
Encouragement Of strike talk But to-
night there seems to have arisen the
former anticipation of conflict. 1t may
be because the time draws near when
Mr.. Scott's ten days will be out, for
on Oct. % he is to give his answer to
the demands of the engineers, or 1T
may result from the arrival in Augusta
to-day not only of Mr. Youngson, but
the chairman of the board of adjusters
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers from eight connecting rail-
roads
They are Messrs. Fetzer of the Sea-
board Air Line, Catherwood of the Gen.
trail of Georgia, Still of the Atlanta
and West Point, Waters of the South
ern, Jennings of the Atlantic Coast
Line, Welch of the Nashville Chat
tanooga and St. Louis, Thompson of
the Louisville and Nashville and Far
mer of the Georgia Southern and
Florida
The representatives from these out
side roads, the old and new commit
tees from the Georgia railroad engin-
GERS and Mr.. Youngson went into exec
utive session this afternoon for the
purpose of fully apprsing the new
corners Of the facts and the
issue that has been raised between
the engineers and the management of
the Georgia Railroad.
Tonight Chief Youngson gives out
the statement that the verdict is
unanimous that the demand of the
Georgia Railroad engineers for mileage
pay and the reinstatement of the dis
charged engineers who composed the
first committee that waited on Gener-
al Manager Scott is reasonable and
just, and will be supported and en-
forced by the brotherhood in every
way in its power
General Manager Scott is out of town
but will be here in time to keep his
engagement with the engineers on
Oct. %. What his answer will be
cannot be known in advance. But as
stated at the outset, there is much talk
OF strike and a pervading sense of
uneasiness and unrest over the issue

GRIEvING FOR HUSBAND.
Mrs. Jane Favers Took Poison Tint
Caused Her Death.

Macon, Ca, Oct. 21.--A most pathetic
story has come to light in connection
with the suicide of Mrs. Jane Favers
at the residence of her father, Mr.
James Favers on Peachtree street
Fairview, beyond East Macon. 1t is
now thought by thepfamily that grief
for her husband Asa Favers, who died
two years ago, together with ill health
drove her to distraction. Arsenic was
the poison used
At late hour last night the neigh
boTs were attracted TO the house by
sore sms of agony. Mrs. Favers was
found in a dying condition. A ply
stefan was summoned, but he could
render no assistance.
The coroner's jury rendered a verdict
that the deceased came to her death
by poison administered with suicidal
intent. A rote was left by Mrs. Favers
asking her sister, Mrs. N. E. Horton,
to take charge Of the insurance left
by her husband and use it in takj>5
care of her father

Revived by Trust Deed.
Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 21.-The
many runors concerning the purchase
of the Florida East Coast Railway.
the Flagler system, by the Southern
Railway. were renewed to-day by the
filing of a trust deed by the East Coast
Railway Company to trust company
of New York. providing for the issue
of bonds to the amount of SS,741 900
to run thirty years at per cent. in
tcrest, and to be dated Jan. /, 1903.
Copies of this deed were also filed
in all the counties in which any of
the property of the system is located
A memorandum was placed on each
deed requiring the clerk of the court
to allow no one to see the paper. The
deed says the money is to be used "for
purposes of extension, building branch
lines, consolidating with, merging or
purchasing other railroads or other
railroad properties"
This. on account of the situation, has
been deemed rather significant. as
showing that purchase by the South
