London, July 26.-The closing days

Messing heated discussions of the ever
recurring Irish question. This week
was especially notable with the fierce
ness of the accusations and recrimina-
tons banded across the narrow forum
of the House of Commons. The resent
ment of the Irish members was stirred
to an unusual degree by the discovery
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 instgated by the United
Irish League or otherwise.
The Irish leaders point out that

TEXAS FLOOD SITUATION.
tinues to Fall and Railroads Are
in Bad Shape.

Dallas, Tex, July 26.-The flood sit
uation in Texas has not improved any
to-day, and in some districts has be-
come more serious. In the western
part of the state particularly, the rain
continues to fall. and there is little
prospect of an early resumption of
railroad traffic. Nearly all trains ar
irving in Dallas to-day were late. and
trains on the Missouri. Kansas and
Texas are reported tied up at Hills
boro. There are several washouts on
the Texas Central. and no trains have
gone further west than Whitney on
that road. The cotton belt is cut off
from Gatesville by a washout at Leon
river. 1t IS feared the bridge there
will be washed out.
At Waco the Brazos is up in the city,
and lacks three feet of being the high
est ever known. In Waco merchants
are moving their goods out.
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas
bridge is washed out at Hillsboro and
fifty feet of the main line of that road
on the Dallas branch is undermined.
Several residences are under water,
and skiffs have gone to the rescue of
the jewellers.
There was no rain in Dallas to-day.
but the Trinity river is running bank
full.

cript of Injunction Case to Presi-
dent and Senate.
Indianapolis, July 26.-The United
Mine Workers may try to obtain the
Impeachment of Federal Judge Jack
son of West Virginia, who restrained
them from holding meetings to induce
men to quit work and imprisoned
number of the organizers for violat-
ing an injunction. The plan of action
is not definitely outlined, but it is
probable that the impeachment pro-
ceedings will be begun soon, if Judge
Jackson. after a final hearing, refuses
to dissolve the injunction.
Secretary Wilson to-day admitted
that the miners contemplated this
course. and that a complete transcript
of the case. including the complaints
and Judge Jacksons decision, will be
prepared for submission to President
Roosevelt and the Senate. The min
ers 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 injunctions, but if the ha-
beas corpus proceedings fail to release
the organizers, the President will be
asked to pardon them. The habeas
corpus proceedings will be begun as
soon as the papers can be brought.

Resistance Develops Into n Farce at
the Capitalism the Provinces the
situation IL More serious.

situation ~ More serious.
Paris, July 2s.-The serving of of
fetal notices closing the unauthorized
religious schools began this morning
and was carried out so far as Paris
was concerned without any disturb
ance.
AT MauvauX, Department of Du-
Nord, the expulsion of the sisters led
to a riot in which two persons were
arrested. A police commissary and ten
rioters were injured.
The resistance to the official decree N
the capital is developing into farce.
The government allows the sisters IN
the Rue Salneuve to remain because
an orphanage and a home for the aged
are attached to their school. On the
other hand, the sisters in another
street, who were ordered by the moth
er superior to leave, were prevented
from complying by band of fifty en-
thusiasts who surrounded them and
shut them up in the school house. The
police are holding off from expelling
them by force.
The situation in the provinces is
more grave. kilograms containing
the petitions for clemency and delay
are pouring in on President Loubet
from all quarters, and a telegram from
Best says the outlook in several of the
neighboring towns is serious. Oppo-
sition to the authorities was offered,
but no casualties have been reported.
At Lyons there was no disturbance.
The schools there have been closed
and the doors sealed.
