e IRISH SITUATION SERIOUS
English Government FOrbids sale of
Arms and AmmunitIOn In Ger
tain Parts of Ireland.

LONDON. Oct. 25.-The apprehension with
which the government views the condition
in Ireland can be judged from the fact that
the chief constable OF Birmingham has is
sued a warning to all arm and ammunition
manufacturers not to sell goods for ship
ment to the proclaimed districts of ireland.
A special order has also been issued that
even to such parts OF Ireland as are not
proclaimed shipments OF arms must be
clearly marked as such. under pain Of
stringent penalties.
With this echo OF Ireland's stormiest
days comes the announcement Of the re-
lease of three Joyces, who were undergoing
life sentences at Marlborough Jail for the
murder OF a whole family OF a similar
name in 1852. The crime was we'll known
In those days as the Maamtrasna massacre.
The three Joyces were released owing to
the clemency OF the new lord lieutenant OF
Ireland, the earl Of Dudley. The earl

augural trip through Galway. we're APP
preached by the wives and other relatives OF
the imprisoned men. The wives begged that
they might have a nance to meet their
husbands again after twenty years of sep

Dudley's hand and wept bitterly as she
begged for her intercession. Lord Dudley
was much affected and promised to do what
he could. The pardon OF the three men fol-

MULLAH NOT SO BAD

Continued from First Page.)
will be by no means inoonsiderable.
There is no definite objective. The mullah
and his followers have no fixed place Of
abode, but usually live in the villa ges of
tribes they have raided.
Much of the mullah's wealth consists of
herds OF camels and hocks Of sheep and
goats and 1t is the idea Of striking and
destroying these that the expedition will
have in mind. Army officers believe the
mullah and his followers will always be
found near the grazing grounds of these
herds.
Two Miles of Desert.
Before any effective work can be done
the force must cross a strip Of waterless
desert known as the Haud, 200 miles in
breadth. Except at the coast, no food
supplies other than meat can be obtained.
The only method Of transporting supplies,
ammunition, etc., is by camel, involving a
climb from the coast to a vast inland
plateau some 5000 feet above the sea level.
In organizing his expedition Colonel
Swayne established an advanced base
seventy miles from Berbera, the capital of
British Somaliland, and use a trained levy
Of natives as p%orters.
The Somali is endowed with wonderful
powers Of endurance, resembling in some
respects a camel. He can make forced
marches OF thirty or forty miles a day,
carrying his pack without fear Of break
ing down, and this after being deprived Of
water for two days. The Somali pony
resembles his master in this respect. He
can go forty or fifty miles a day; requires
only to be grazed at night or what he can
pick up and can do without water for three
or four days. The Somali native on the
march of seventy miles start with but four
pounds of dates per man and a quart OF
water. That is their ration. On a longer
march they take two pounds of dates and
a pint OF water for each day. 1t is esti-
mated that 1t will require at least a
month before General Manning can or
ganiEe his f3toe sufficiently to start on
the expedition.
That the mullah is not as crazy as the
British government would have people be-
lieve. is shown by the fact that whenever
he attacks a village he lie careful to gather
up every article Of value and the cameIs
and herds OF the tribe are driven OF Ia
enrich the private store OF the mullah.
He is extremely cruel. killing even the
women and children Of the villages his
forces attack. The mullah buys the arms
for his followers. The War office believes
that many OF the arms came from tbs
United states, Struggled in calico bales
The Moslems have displayed a wonderful
fondness for the gaily colored prints from
the United States and vast quantities have
come In for the mullah and his men.

All collectors of claims against Indians
are forbidden to approach the place Of pay
ment nearer than one-h half mile. The In
dian post trader is restricted to his place
of business. This was a complete surprise
to those who have been doing a credit bust
ness with the Indians and almost makes ii
impossible to collect thousands of dollars
now due the whites on contracts and for
goods sold on credit.
There are now about 1885 Indians. This
makes a payment of about sSO.97 per head

New rules governing the carrying of In

ment, causing CONSERVATION among the
spectators. 1t is now impossible for one
man to lease more than one section Of land.
A large amount of cases, reaching up in the
hundreds, have been returned marked not
approved, This leaves only one hope for
the spectators, the labor contract or con-
tract lease, by which a Spectator can hold
a large amount of land, providing he can
find a farmer whom he can trust or who
will be willing to work for the Spectators
interests. The sale OF Indian heirship land

OF Rapid Transit In that

LONDON, Oct. 25.-(New York World Ca
blegram-special Telegram.)-Charles T.
Yerkes' defeat of J. Pierpont Morgan in the
tube" war undoubtedly has caused graft
hcation here, as Mr.. Morgan is regarded
as the more formidable monopolist Of the
two. Mr.. Morgsn's difference with the
English group, representing the London
United railway, was caused by his insist
Ing on having control, being the provider
OF nearly two-thirds OF the capital re-
CURED. TIL progresslves in the London
county council have been stron Sly opposed
to Mr.. Morgan, as his schemes constituted
a serious obstacle to their plans for mu-
nicipalizing the means of transportation
within the metropolis.
John Burns. one Of the leaders Of this
party. said to the World CORRESPONDENT
Il am heartily glad Morgan has been
ousted in this tube conflict. Yerkes'
scheme Is far better for London in every
way. Morgan will meet the same fate In
his scheme to get control of the London
docks"
But the forthcoming big conference at
the Mansion house on the London dock
question has been summoned at the in
stance OF Mr.. Morgan's group, who EXPECT
10 nave everything their own way" the
World correspondent informed him.
Yes. I know responded Mr.. Burns,
but they are mistaken. The county council
will take care of that subject"
1t is not expected, however. that Mr..
Morgan will sit down under this reverse.
He is said to be negotiating already with
the "Tuppenny Tube" company TO agree
upon terms on which he can combine with
it in completing its lime into the circle to
compete directly on both, sides Of London
with, Mr.. Yerkes' district railway. But as
the FIRST countermoye the Morgan syndi-
cate intends to. ask. Parliament to revive
the bill which Mr.. Yerkes succeeded in
getting withdrawn and substituting the
Morgan syndicate for its original promoters,
These homerie -eombats between .Ameri.

Mr.. Yerkes may have ~circumvented Mr.

comes to ownership Of antiquities and other
objects of art nc American can equal the
latter. He has a London agent who scoufs
this country and continent for ali sorts OF
