DECLARATION OF
THE CLAN Ma GAEL
WILL OBSERVE THE BIRTHDAY OF
ROBERT EMMETT-lNSlST THAT
IRELAND is DESTINED TO BE IN
DEPENDENT.

New York, March 1.-James Reidy sec
retary of the New York committee of
the Clan Ma Gael, made public today a
declaration of principles which will be Of
ficially promulgated at meetings of the
organization to be held In all the prin-
eipal cities of the country in commemora-
tion of the birth of Robert Emmett the
125th anniversary Of which is on March
A.
After reiterating the belief ehat Ireland
is destined to be an Independent nation,
and to gain this end is justified in re-
course to the sword, the declaration con-
tinues:
Not even scQnt measure Of legisla-
tive freedom can be won by pleading to
the parliament of England as no INSTALL
ment of justice has been granted Ireland
except through force.
I'VE assert that the settlement of the
land question promised by the British
government will be attempted only be-
cause England fears In her coming trou-
bles the hostility of the race in and out
of ireland, and hopes to secure peace and
loyalty by building a class at the expense
of the entire people. We further assert
that nothing of this kind can or will pre-
vent the race from keeping up the fight
for the establishment of an Irish repub-
lie -

TEN RECEIVE AN INCREASE OF
is PER CENT IN WAGES AND
PASSENGER MEN 12 PER CENT.


Topeka, Kan, March lat conference
between the officials of the Santa Fe sys-
tenn and a committee from the conductors
and trainmen today formal settlement of
the wage controversy was made Tho
freight men receive an increase of 10 per
cent in wages and the passenger men 12
per cent, effective on March 1, 1908. A
compromise was made on the double
header question whereby the road retains
double-headers on some parts of the sys-
tenn and abolishes them on Others.
The agreement signed today covered
only the coast lines of the Santa Fe sys-
TEN, but the officials of the road and the
members of the grievance committee say
that other agreements covering the whole
system Will be signed tomorrow and that
this will be an informal matter as the
terms have already been agreed upon
All increases will be based upon rates
which were in effect on January 1, 1902
A. P. Garretson. assistant grand chief
of the Order of Railway Conductors, and
p. II. Morrissey. grand master of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen. are
well pleased with the result.

In st. Louis Exposition.

London, March president Francis of
the St Louis exposition left tonight for
Paris. in consequence Of telegram frcm

est in the st. Louis exposition and have

for which | am very grateful"

GOLD STANDARD FOR MEXICO.
Continued Fluctuations of Silver is
Affecting Trade.

Mexico City, March There is a grow
ing belief here that before the end of
the year the country will have adopted
practically gold basis, with modifica-
tions to suit local needs.
The continued fluctuations of silver af-
fects trade, and is now being felt In dry
goods establishments. For a number of
years sales have been large and the prac-
tice of cheap goods, Stimulating higher
priced fabrics, has proven successful, but
with the recent fall in silver, prices of
simulated goods have necessarily risen
about so per cent. and the goods now
handled are of native manufacture, most
ly cottons and Mexican mills have been
able to produce handsome lines of these
goods. 1t is believed by the advocates of
a gold standard that once the currency
question is satisfactorily settled trade
and investments will be larger than ever
before.

Aldrich Financial Bill.

The Aldrich financial bill which is now
the main point of interest In pending
legislation, will again come before the
senate tomorrow. There are rumors to-
night that Senators Dubois, Berry,
Blackburn and perhaps Pettus, will dis
cuss the measure at length. and IL they
should do so the bill is likely to be de-
feated; for unless it goes through the
senate tomorrow it could hardly do 50 on
Tuesday and Wednesday, when confer
ence reports will be coming in every few
minutes. The supporters of the bill say
tonight that they do not believe the bill
will be debated much longer, and that
1t will go to the house tomorrow. The
house banking and currency committee
expecting that the Aldrich bill will go
through the senate, have prepared .
substitute measure which strikes out all
after the enactment clause, but which in
reality differs In few important particu-
lars from the Aldrich bill II the bill pass
es the senate tomorrow its main features
are expected to become law at this ses-

present but in bed. The cardinals greet
ed this reference to the possibility of
death with a chorus of noes and with
exclamations of we all have come
to wish you a long life." By this time
the excitement of the reception had i'm
proved Pope Leo's appearance. When
he entered the library his form was
bowed and trembling, but he now seemed
to have acquired strength and animation.
He showed the cardinals a magnificent
antique clock which had been just pre-
sented to him by the Count of Casera,
the head of the Naples branch of the
Bourbon family. Before retirement he
presented to each cardinal a richly en-
bellished pamphlet, reviewing the chief
events in his pontifcate, including a
Latin poem of his own composition and
five of his most important encylieals. His
holiness said:
II will order that the few cardinals

To Collect Tribal Tax.

Ardmore, /. t., March lit is stated
here today that Indian Agent shoenfelt
has instructed the Indian police agents
to collect the tribal tax of per cent on
the dollar valuation of merchants stock
in the chickasaw and Choctaw nations.
Agent Shoenfelt is said to be acting on
the authority of Secretary of the Interior
Hitchcock, who holds that the tribal tax
is valid and Is like the cattle tax which
may be enforced The merchants will
ask for an injunction to restrain the
police from carrying out the order on the
ground that the tax Is invalid.

KEEP UP THE FILIBUSTER

action on it, The complications arising
out of the fact that hostile committee
that on banking and currency-has juris-
detion over the subjec: can be overcome
by n rule. 1t is believed that the immi-
grafton bill which passed the senate yes
terday in an amended form also will be
acted on.
One of the things which gives the repub-
lican leaders grave concern in these clos
ing hours of the session is the weakness
of the position of the house conferees on
the appropriation bills. With the present
tie-up in the house. those house conferees
cannot go back to the house for instrue-
tions without a complete agreement ex-
cept at the price of great risk and delay.
The senate conferees have not been slow
to take advantage of this situation, 1t Is
said, believing that the house is at their
mercy, and they are insisting on propos-
tions which the house conferees say they
would be forced to abandon If the house
could be appealed to to uphold the hands
of its representatives

Washington, March 1.-The democrats of
the house have decided to prosecute their
hllbuster until congress expires by llmi-
tation at noon March 1, and the three re-
naming days of the session, therefore,
promise to be repetitions of the last three
that is all business will have to be
transacted in the face of every obstacle
which the minority can interpose. But
even by the laborious process to which
the majority will be put, 1t is believed am
pie time remains to get through the con-
ference reports on the remaining five ap-
preparation bills. There Is slim chance
for much beyond, so far as the house is
concerned. Twenty-seven bills with sen.
ate amendments are on the speaker ta-
BILE. OF these, the great majority are
doomed to die where they are. One bill in
which the republican leaders arc particu-

the operation of a special rule to secure

Richardson May Explain.

II opportunity Is offered him. Represen-
tatlve Richardson of Tennessee, the
democratic floor leader, will rise In his
place tomorrow and explain the so-called
filibuster now being indulged In by his
side of the house. Owing to the press Of
business, however. 1t Is doubtful II Mr..
Richardson will be able to obtain suffi-
Client time to explain the position of the
minority, though If debatable motion Is
made he hopes to do so.
1.-THE fight the democrats are now maxi
ing" said Mr.. Richardson tonight, can
not possibly be termed flibuster. What
we are trying to do is to force an extra
session of congress In order to give the
republicans more time to enact antitrust
legislation and a reduction of the tariff.
as the President recommended in his
message to congress at the beginning of
the session. We had thought. with the
Littlefed antitrust bill through the
house. there might be some chance fof
it's adoption by the senate. 1t Is at best 81
poor measure, but better than anythinrj
the republicans have proposed. 1t ough:
to be passed by the senate but lnasmuch
as the senate republicans have gone oil
record as against 1t and several of their
leaders have declared that IL Is uneonsti-
tutional they ought to have time to fully
debate and perfect a measure which will
be passed upon fayorabiy by the courts.
Now the democrats are willing to stay
here all summer II by doing so they can
get sincere antitrust legislation and a
tariff reduction measure. We want to
emphasize to the country the utter folly
of expecting anything on these lines from
the republican party"

duty is to point out that your health
would greatly benefit by your resting to-

The audience was held in the Popes
private library and Leo XIII spoke con
tinuously for half an hour with the
forty-two cardinals present. No address
was delivered and the most important
words were when the pontiff referred with
emphasis to his advanced age and ap-

thereof in reminding the cardinals that
