The committee on invalid pensions of the
House to-day reported favorably the Senate
bill TO increase the pensions of those who
have lost limbs in the military or naval
service of the United States or were totally
disabled in the same. 1t is estimated by the

George r. Mosel. a sugar broker, testified
before the committee on relations with
Cuba to-day that Mr.. Havemeyer was not
interested in certain plantations in Cuba as
had been alleged. He said there was about
$4,000 tons of sugar stored in Cuba now
He could not say that any firm in Cuba had
suspended operations The Cubans believed
concessions would be made and accepted
the Platt amendment on that account Mr.
Mosel said his f1rm was a selling agent for
the sugar trust. When he asserted that the
Cubans had discontinued work because
many of the people did not have the money
with which TO go on, Senator Teller asked:
"Will you tell me any firm in Cuba that has
suspended operations and has not ground
its crOp?"

PLOT AGAINST EMPEROR.
Alleged Attempt on Francis Joseph,
Ruler of fAustria-Hungary.

LONDON. May 2O.-The correspondent Of
the Daily Chronicle at Buda-Pesth reports
the Illustration of a plot against the life
of Emperor Francis Joseph.
The Emperor was recently going on a
night train from Vienna TO Buda-Pesth.
In the final inspection of the imperial train
in the terminus of the state railroad at
Vienna, made ten minutes before his
Majesty's arrival there. bomb covered
with paper was found in the Emperor's
compartment. 1t was evidently calculated
that this bomb would explode the moment
his Majesty entered the car. An investi-
cation of the matter led to the dismissal
of several railroad employees. The greatest
secrecy regarding this plot has been main
tained, concluded the correspondent, and
the Emperor forbid newspapers of Vienna
to mention the matter.

wont to administer Justice locally: even
in this duty it is now superseded and
outvoted by a popularized magistracy
AS to the alleged dependence of Protes-
tantism upon this failing force, Mr..
Russell, who is himself Protestant,
submits that it will be an evil day for
Ireland and for Professionalism when
religious principles come to depend on
social and economical system on
which destiny has set it's SEAL The
roots of Irish landlordism have been
destroyed. \ rotten trunk and decay
ing branches are all that is left of It.
The sentence of death has been pro-
nounced on it: ''Cut it down; why
cumbereth it the ground?"
AS to the burden which the compul-
sorry purchase of Irish landed estates
would impose upon the British tax
payer, Mr.. Russell insists that no ex-
penditure in the ordinary sense~of the
word would he needed There would
have to be. no doubt, an issue of some
So0O.0O0,000 in guaranteed land stock
similar to that authorized by the act of
1891. The amount would, no doubt, be
added to the national debt; but it would
not be added to the permanent debt.
nor would it be repaid by the nation
at large. On the contrary, the repay
ments would be made by the tenant
purchasers Of the land. The whole is
sue would be repaid in forty-nine years,
or such term as might be fixed; and the
interest upon the amount represented
by the stock would be paid, not by the
nation, but by the Irish purchasers. AS
to the pretended risk of repudiation.
Mr.. Russell denies that it exists. He
points out that no rent strike has ever
been successful in Ireland. Even
against Lord Clanricarde the policy alb
Solutely failed. The installments under
the several Purchase acts have been
regularly paid; there is no arrear. The
safety of the State, in it's capacity of
mortgagee. could not be secured more
strongly than it would be by the pas
sionate attachment of the Irish peasant
to the soil
This, then, in a nutshell is what Mr..
L. w. Russell and the Irish National
lists desire the British Government to
do. They ask that the Irish tenant
shall be permitted to pay for the land
he occupies it's market value, plus a
specified amount for the application of
compulsion, and that the State shall
contribute part of the bonus required
to eNtirpate the root of all Irish trouble
Mr.. Russell, who is. as we have said
a Unionist, holds that in this way Irish
landlords would have chance of
escape upon terms that would save
those whom it is possible to save. and
the United Kingdom would have peace,
security and contentment with
chance of evolSing among Irishmen Il
loyalty that has not existed since
Strongbow landed on the shores of
Ireland.
