IRISH LEADERS EXPECT ARREST
Feeling Grows Bitter at the Close of
Parliament.

LONDON, July 26-The closing DAYS of
the session OF parliament are witnessing
heated discussions of the ever-recurring
Irish questions. This week was especially
notable for the fierceness Of the accusations
and recriminations banded across the mar
row forum of the house of commons. The
resentment of the Irish members was
stirred to an unusual degree by the discov-
cry OF alleged secret documents of the land
trust, organized by the landlords for the
avowed purpose of resisting threatening
combinations of tenants and suppressing
the boycotting and intimidation instigate
by the United Irish League or otherwise.
The Irish leaders point out that Lord
Clonbrook and Lord Barrymore of Barry
more DIETER known Arthur Hugh
Smith-Barry), chairman of the National
Union of Conservative Associations, who
are among the prime movers of the trust
signed the same week privy councillors
a proclamation from Dublin Castle enforc-
ing the coercion act over half of Ireland
All the trustees of the trust, the Duke of
Abercorn, Lord Waterford Lord Ashtown,
Lord Clonbrook Lord Barrymore of Bar
rymore and two others, are privy council
lors. The trust has long list OF subscrib-
ers and ample funds for fighting the ten
ants and the league which is behind them

STRANGLED HER CHILDREN.
Awful Deed of a Drunken Mother in
New York

NEW YORK, July 26.-Richard Meade. a
night watchman on returning to his home
in Brooklyn today found his two little
daughters dead from strangulation, caused
by twine tightly tied around their threats.
A third child was unconscious from the
same cause and his wife lay in a comatose
condition on the floor, apparently suffering
from alcoholism combined with poison. Ac-
cording to the police, the woman was of
Incorporate habits and the supposition is
that she strangled the children while in
delirious condition.
The oldest child was three years of age
Her body and that of her One-year-Old SIS
ter were lying en- the bed with several yards
of stout Irvine wound about their threats.
The other little one was still alive and was
removed to hospital with the mother. The
babys injuries are probably fatal, the
slender cord had cut deep into it's throat.
About one year ago Meade had his wife ar
raigned for commitment for intemperance.
1t was just prior to the birth of the young
est child. and on that account she was re-
leased on promise to reform

CANADIAN PACIFIC PLANS.
In Regard to Proposed Atlantic Trans
port Line.

MONTREAL, July 28.-Discussing the
Canadian Pacific railways tender for the
fast Atlantic steamship service to be SUBJ
sdized by the British and Canadian gov
ernments, to the extent Of ST. 5O0Oo0 per
annum, Sir Thomas Shaughnessey the
president of the company stated that the
plans contemplated the construction of four
twenty-knot passenger steamers and ten or
eleven 10,O00-ton cargo boats with a speed
of fifteen knots. Other railway companies.
he said, would be placed in as equally
favorable position as the Canadian Pacific
as regards traffic, etc.
LONDON, July 25.-The Westminster
Gazette this afternoon, discussing the new
Canadian Pacific railroad service which IL
assumes, will unQuestionably be carried out,
says:
while the new vessels as now proposed
will be running within two years, the ulti-
mate scheme involves establishing a new
and thoroughly modern port, whose loca-
ton is yet undetermined eliminating the
St. Lawrence passage and shortening the
voyage materially. With the view OF i'm
proving the time Of the through trip to the
far east, two new vessels of equal speed to
those of the Atlantic lines will be added to
the Pacific fleet, while ultimately twenty
five-knot ships will be added to the service
which will be manned by naval reserylsts
and constitute the most effective fleet OF
commerce destroyers and protectors in the
world"

MINERS AFTER JUDGE JACKSON.
May Try to Impeach Him for Prevent
ing Meetings.

? INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. July 28.-The
United Mine Workers may try to obtain the
Impeachment of Federal Judge Jackson OF
West Virginia, who restrained them from
holding meetings to induce men to quit
work, and imprisoned a number of the or
ganizers for violating Injunction. The
plan Of action Is not definitely outlined, but
it is probable that the Impeachment pro-
ceedings will be begun soon, If Judge Jack
son. after final hearing, refuses to dis
solve the injunction.
Secretary Wilson admitted today that the
miners contemplate this course and that a
complete transcript of the case, including
the complaints and Judge Jackson's deci-
sion, will be prepared for submission to
President Roosevelt and the Senate. The
miners also intend to give to the public the
evidence in the case.
Wilson says that the miners will not ask
President Roosevelt to interfere with the
injunction, as, he says, they realize that
the President is without power as to in
functions, but If the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings fail to release the organizers, the
President will be asked to pardon them.
The habeas corpus proceedings will be be-
gun as soon as the papers can be made out
