more than 100 armed men at Renton,
but succeeded in making his escape.
Also that he had secured about 81 in

MANY CATTLE TO CUBA

Mexico City, July 10.-Adviees from
Progresso show that there are now in
warehouses $4,000 bales of Henequin
fibre worth $4,000, 900 at current prices.
The tobacco crop on the gulf slope IS
not as abundant as last year, but is
of an excellent quality.
Cattle shipments to Cuba keep UP
the price of beef here, and for the
present there appears 10 be no posi-
bility of a decrease in this trade. Dur
ing the last month, 7,256 head of cattle,
valued at $127, $50, have been shipped
from Victoria to Cuba via Tampico.
Recently several American concerns
have bought land in Tamaulpas with
the avowed intention of converting it

IRISH DEN0UNCE
ADMINISTRATION
NationaIists Strongly Attack Ac-
ton of Police.
JURY PACKING PRACTIcED
ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRE
LAND CENSURED.

r ONDON, July 10-The vote on the
Irish estimates in the house of
commons today furnished the Ma
tionalists with an opportunity for a
stirring attack on the British admins
tration of Ireland, and the "nefarious
operations" of the Irish constabulary.
which body of men John Dillon ma
tionaIist) declared was maintained not
to prevent crime, but to create it.
Mr.. Dillon specified instances where
he alleged force was instrumental in
obtaining the conviction and imprison-
ment of innocent persons and charges
the government with winking at these
malpractices in order to obtain juStifl-
cation for its policy Of coercion.
T. P. O'Connor (Nationalist) declared
that, politically speaking, the real
criminal was the attorney general for
Ireland 1.-THE Right Hon. J. Atkinson),
because he practiced jury packing.
Sir Robert T. Reid OiberaD said he
considered the action of the Irish po-
lice to be dastardIy. He further as
serted that matters would never be
remedied until self-government for Ire
land put an end 10 jury packing. This
brought Attorney General Atkinson to
his feet with a hot rotor that Sir Rob
ert. who now processes such lofty and
noble sentiments, had remained for
three years a member Of the admins
tration, and had INDUCED in jury pack
ing 10 an extent unknown TO the pres
ent government"
The chief secretary for Ireland,
George Wyndhan1, admitted that there
was much truth in what Mr.. Dillon had
said in regard TO specific cases, but
the charges were not applicable TO the
whole police force
After further debate. Mr. DiIIon's
motion TO reduce the estimates was de-
feated by 195 to 102 votes.

Michael Dolan, who says he positive

success the next few hours will re-
veal.
Independent of the Dolan report,
there is abundant evidence that Tracy

ernoon. Two young women residing
near where Dolan lives, reported to-
night that they saw the phantomIike

The Women Win Patronage This Road


Some railway lines have begun to
realize the money value of pleasing the
women. One company has just re-
ceived ten new sleeping cars, which
have been designed as to interior ar
engagements with the idea of conform
ing with some feminine ideas. The
women's dressing rooms have been en-
larged nearly one-third over those of
other cars in the service and have sew
eral large mirrors instead of one For
the use of women who forget their
alcohol burners, the company has in
stalled electric curling iron heaters.
Suggestions made by women travellers
have been utilized in what the pas
senger agent considers the finest cars
the company has ever owned. The
sleepers are seyenty-eight and one-half
feet long. the longest in service. They
contain twelve sections, drawing room
and smoking room, and are finished
throughout in mahogany.
