THE WOES Of IRELAND
NATIoNALISTs TELL THEM Tc
-. THE COMMONS.
Dillon Declares the Constabulary O.
the Island is Maintained, Not
to Prevent Crime, But to
Create It.

London, July 10-The vote on the Irish
estimate in the House of Commons today
furnished the Nationalists an opportuni-
ty for a striking attack. on British ad-
ministratson of Ireland and the "nefarl-
Gus operations Of the Irish constabulary,
which body of men John Dillon declared
was maintained, not to prevent crime, but
to create 1t.
Mr.. Dillon specified instances where, he
alleged, force was instrumental in OBJ
tanning the conviction and Imprisonment
of innocent persons and charged the
government with winlcing at these mai
practices in order to obtain Justincatoh
for its policy of coercion
T. P. O'Connor, Nationalist, declared
that, politically speaking. the real Grim
inal was the Attorney General for Ire
land (the Right Hon. ]. Atkinson), be-
cause he practiced jury packing.
Sir Rotert REID, Liberal. said he con-
sidered the action of the Irish police to
be dastardly. He further asserted that
matters would never be remedied until
self-government for Ireland put an END
to Jury packing. This brought Attorney
General Atkinson to his feet with hoi
retort that Sir Robert who now professed
such loyalty and noble sentiments had
remained for three years member of the
| administration and had INDUCED in jury
packing to an extent unknown TO the
present government"
The Chief Secretary for Ireland, George
Windhs m, admitted there was much truth
in what Mr.. Dillon had said in regard tc
the specified cases. but the charges were
not applicable to the whole police force.
After further debate, Mr.. Dillon's mo-
ton to reduce the estimates was defeated
| by 1873 to 1O2 votes.

WAR COLLEGE BOARD
HOLDS ITS FIRST MEETING IN
WASHINGTON.
Governors Of Various States Invited
to Send Detachments of National
Guard to Encampment at
Fort Riley, Kas.

/ Washington, July 10-The War College
BcaId, consisting of Major General
Yourg, Brigadier-Generals Carter and
Bliss. and Major Green, hall its first
meeting today. The session was prelim-
Irary to the organization of the college
proper.
The subject of autumn manonvres fol
the army was referred to the Board. and
circular was prepared which has been
addressed to all the Governors of the
States by Adjutant- General Corbin in
reference to the position of the militia
In the proposed manuvres. The circular
is as follows:
THE Department contemplates having
autumn manouVres on the Government
reservation at Fort Riley, Kas., about
the end of September. 1t is intended to
bring together, II possible, not less than
division of nine regiments of infantry
and as many more as can be induced to
participate from the various States. The
cavalry and artillery contingents will be
furnished by the regular army and NOT
less than three regiments of infantry.
The Secretary OF War regrets that
the legislation known as the LICK MILL
tary bill did not reach the Senate in time
for action before adjournment, and the
Department will not be able this year
to give that assistance to the militia
regiments participating in the manouvres
which the Secretary had hoped to ex-
tend; however. It is thought that the
great good to come from such joint man.
ouvrcs may prove a sufficient inducement
to the States to have a portion of their
organized militia modified at that point
instead Of in their usual encampments.
1.-THE Secretary of War desires to ex-
tend the Invitation to you to assign such
portion of your troops as can be arranged
for, with the understanding that the
United States cannot at the present time
pay any of the expenses of the move
ment, but that the quartermaster's sub
sistence, medical and other staff depart
ments will be directed to furnish at the
regulation price any subsistence or other
articles which may be required. In case
no organized bodies can be designated to
participate in the manoucres the Secre-
tary would be pleased to have an officer
detailed to attend the proposed exercises
In the hope that his observation may
lead to increased interest hereafter"

SHIP ORDERED TO DAVID.
Feared That American Interests ART
in Danger.

Washington July 10. Secretary Moody
has cabled to the captain of the United
States steamship Ranger, stationed at
Panama, as, follows:
Confer with Consul General. Then
proceed to David to investigate, and re-
turn to Panama"
This action was taken at the instance
of the State Department, which had re-
ceived advices from United States Minis
ter Merry of Nicaragua and Costa RIGA
to the effect that a body Of Colombians
had joined a force of Nicaraguan intur-
gents at David. preparation to starting
on a belligerent expedition and asking
that war ship be sent to protect Ameri-
can interests.
David is a small town $50 miles above
Panama, on the isthmus, in Colombian
territory The town lies about twenty
miles back in the main land, on a bay OF
the same name.
Naval officials say that 1t will be diff
ficult for the Ranger to get in touch. as
she will have to anchor about ten miles
off shore and send a steam launch up
the river.

The improvements which have marked the
progress of the cotton seed crushing industry
are somewhat akin to those in other under
takings which are changing the South and
Southwest from a largely agricultural section
to one of increasing importance in mining and
manufacturing. No better Illustration OF this
perhaps is to be had than the evolution of
methods in the Joplin zinc and lead field. A
special correspondent of The Manufacturers
Record who is covering developments in the
Southwest, points out that only about per
cent of the 200 square miles OF that South
western district is under development, and he
says:
is now the rule. There was time when a
man and a mule were about all that were re-
quired in the way Of equipment for mining
and then a fifty-foot mine was deep Now
the wndass has. given place to the steam
hoist in many cases and the hand 'jigger 70
contracting plant capable of handling 100
tons of ore day, while a shaft will often be
sunk to depth Of 200 or $50 feet. lndica-
tions are that even deeper mining viii be
done in the future for borings made through
out the district show a richer deposit Of ore
at 300 feet than at any other depth, while
has been encountered at a depth Of more
than 900 feet. 1t is of common occurrence
for some one TO come along after gopher
miner has abandoned digging and by sink
ing a deep shaft In the same spot make rich
strike. The extent of the district is constantly
increasing development work proceeds "
is not at all certain that a much WIDER neIa
than is regarded as the proved territory
will not be opened up, although II VIII take
many years to anywhere near develop the neld
included in the present agreed limits. Recent
deveIonment work has been made in the ter
ritory north of the former boundaries Of the
field and good results have followed pros
pecting in the direction Of the known fields
of great richness. but present inaccessibility
in Northern Arkansas. 1t is BELIEF held by
MANY that when the Indian Territory is open
to prospecting there may be found an excel
lent zinc field in the district adjacent to
Missouri. a., W.. 49,

son to rush the precious product to the North

Forger Jumped from Train.

Owingsville, Ky, July 1o.-While sher-
if Alfred Crooks of tnIs county was on
his way to this city with George A. Clark
who was arrested in Chicago charged
with passing forged checks made out in
the name OF the bank and citizens of salt
Lick, Bath County Clark broke away
from his guard and jumping from the
train which was running at full speed
succeeded in eluding his pursuers. The
escape occurred not far from this city

Made a BAD Bargain.

1t developed today that the government
got the worst end of real estate and
rental bargain when the temporary White
House was recently rented for the use or
the President. On the authority OF
cabinet officer 1t is stated that the build
ing is unsanitary. That the plaster is
ready to fan from the ceiling and that 1t
is almost untenantable. The President.
as soon as he discovered the conditions.
refused to stay longer in the place and
accordingly took up his summer residence
at Oyster Bay. The improvements on
the White House will be rushed and the
building made ready for occupancy by
the President when he returns to Wash
ington in October. In the meantime the
clerical force in charge at the temporary
White House have been instructed not
to spend any of the governments money
in making repairs.

THE KINGS HEALTH.
Medical Journal Says Improvement
Has Been Remarkable.

London, July 10-An authoritative state
ment regarding the health of King Ed
ward was published in today's issue OF
the British Medical Journal:
I'm view of the fact that sinister
stories continue to be manufactured and
printed, it may be again stated as em-
phatically as possible that during the
operation no trace of malignant disease
was observed; that no suspicion of any
kind has arisen since, and that the medl-
cal attendants are quite satisfied that his
majesty's constitution is thoroughly
sound"
The British Medical Journal adds:
THE progress of the last week has
been everything that could be desired
The wound, though still deep, is granu-
lating well. The last ten days improve
ment in his ma jesty's general health has
been remarkably rapid. The King has
retained his strength almost completely
and is able to take restricted diet with
good appetite"
The Lancet also still stigmatizes the dit-
ferent rumors of detriment as a lie
There has never been the faintest
shadow or a ghost of a suspicion of a
malignant disease"
The Lancet specifically asserts that
the King is free from cancer.

Some Statistics on the Cotton Seed

Baltimore. July 10.-(Special)-Th Manu-
facturers' Record, reviewing the cotton oil in
terests of the South. says:
Remarkable has been the growth of the
cotton manufacturing industry in the South
during the past twenty years. it has been
paralleled in many respects by that growing

indicated by an increase In the South from
forty oil mills with a capitalization of 49,
100000 in 1880 to 500 mills with capital of
about $5000,00O In 1901. the limits have by no

bilities of cotton seed comprehended. for
there have been rapid additions to the number
of mills, and during the first six months of
this year there has been greater activity in

of new mills and their capitalization by States

AT SYCAMORE HILL
THE PRESIDENT SPENDS COM
PARATIvELY QUIET.
Man Claiming to Have Been Rough
Rider Confesses He 10 an Inn
postor and Failed to See
the President.

Oyster Bay July 10--President Roose-
welt passed comparatively quiet day at
Sycamore Hill today. q
After the rain of the morning the Presi-
dent and Mrs Roosevelt took q brisk
gailop of several miles over the fine roads
In the vicinity Of their home. returning
in time for luncheon.
Miss Ethel and Master Archibald
Roosevelt, accompanied by slaughter
of J. West Roosevelt, who resides near
the Presidents country home. also went
horseback riding during the morning. At
point not far from Sycamore Hill the
saddle girth on Miss Ethers horse Slip
ped and as the saddle turned she was pre-
cipitated to the ground Fortunately the
horse was not going at rapid pace and
Miss Ethel. uninjurcd. readily stopped the
horse.
A man who said he had served In che
Rough Riders when the President was
Colonel of the regiment. arrived here
from New York early In the. afternoon.
AS he announced his intention of calling
on the President, the secret service Off
GERS were soon on his trail.
A few minutes examination of the man
| by one of the officers and George Pol
| lock, who saw service as Rough Rider
with the President, convinced them he
| was not what he represented himself to
be. He then admitted that he had not
seen service in Cuba and that he had
posed as a Rough Rider merely as a
means of getting an audience with the
President. He left the village on the next
train.
Judge Spencer B. Adams Of Greenville.
s.. C., had, by appointment, an interview
| with the President tonight Judge Adams
recently was appointed Chief Justice OF
the Choctaw and Chickasaw Citizenship
Court of the Indian Territory, and came
here to discuss with Mr.. Roosevelt the cit
izenship of the two tribes.
| 1t is thought likely that Secretary
| Root may be here the last of the week.
| One, of the subjects he will take up with
the President is the record In the court
| martial case of General Smith. The rec
ord has been briefed for the President and
as he is the final reviewing authority,
he will go over the case carefully before
rendering his decision. The endorsement
which the President will make upon the
record probably will be given to the pub
lie soon after 1t Is made because of the
interest in and the Importance Of the

FIVE boys named Lee. Russ. El Claude

ping combine was again the subject OF
questions in the House of Commons to-

the hands of the government to the ex-
tent of promising that the House should
be consulted before the Admiralty enter
ed into any agreement with Mr.. Morgan.
He added, however, that no arrangements
for subsidizing ships would be made I'M

Palm Oil as Coloring.

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
today decided that oleomargerine which
has been colored by the use of palm oil
shall be subject to a tax of 10 cents per
pound. The law requires that any oieo-
margarine which has been artifciauy
colored to resemble butter of any shade
of yellow shall pay a tax Of 10 cents a

The Commissioner holds the palm oil
has never been used as a component part
of oleomargerine and that its use Is
clearly for coloring purposes.
