PASSES THIRD READING.
Irish Land Bill Praised by John
Redmond.

London, July 21.--Tn the House Of Commons
to-day Premier Balfour, in the absence Of irish
Secretary wyndham. moved the third reading
of the Irish Land bill and It was passed hy
81 to 20 votes.
John Redmond, the Irish leader, said that,
while the bill was defective in some features, It
would if worked in a reasonable and moderate
spirit, bring TO ireland the blessings of peace and
prosperity.
Sir Henry Campbell Ba Bahnerman, the Liberal
leader complimented Mr.. Wyndham on his con-
duct of the bill, but he said he was afraid a
compulsory measure would still be necessary to
provide universal contentment.
Mr.. Balfour congratulated Mr.. Wyndham and
the country on the bill, which, he said was a
tentative step toward the removal of the present
Irish land system, which was the worst in the
world He added that he did not doubt that
after the agrarian settlement, political contro-
versies would remain; but the Irishmen who
demanding a great constitutional change
would not be embittered by a sense Of social
wrong.
Just before the division Mr.. Balfour said the
King had commanded him to say that, being
aware of the purport of the BILL he placed his
interests at the disposal Of Parliament.

Washington, July 21-Exact data as to what be-
came Of the vast horde OF foreigners who focked
TO the shores of the United States during the fiscal
year just ended have been prepared by Commits
soner General Sargent OF tile immigration Bureau
These figures show that a very small proportion
OF the aliens settled the vast areas of land west
of the Mississippi River. They constitute the low
est grade of humanity of Southern Europe ac-
cording to Commissioner Sargent and are decidedly
a menace to the welfare OF the country because
of their tendency to huddle together in the cities
New-York State alone assimilated O657 of the
total number OF arrivals to the country. This is
80 per cent OF the entire immigration. Massa-
chusetts Rhode Island, Connecticut Nevv-York
NeT-Jersey and Pennsylvania together received
56745 or 66 per cent of the total The States east
of the Mississippi River received 741 1866 leaving
only 1l52s1 or l3 per cent, % go west of the Mis-
sissppi.
Eighty per cent Of the immigration to this coun-
try is composed OF the following eight peoples:
Italian (south and north), Polish, Hebrew. scandi-
-, Of the South Italians. 81 per cent remained in
tRe SSaLe OF ORR. 20 IeT cent went to the six

SAY TT rs UP TO YOUNGS.
BeaUerss s Counsel Viii Not Let HIM
Cross the River.

The situation in the Beavers case in nut
she'll was summed up at the Brooklyn postofhce
yesterday in the following fashion:
Mr. Beavers is standing pat in Manhattan. and
the Brooklyn people. including District Attor-
ney Youngs, drawing cards.
The situation from Mr.. Beavers's point OF
view, in the words Of his counsel William NJ.
seabury. is up to Mr. Youngs." Mr. Youngs
on his part refuses absolutely to discuss the
matter acting, It is understood, orders from
Washington conveyed to him by Assistant At
torney General Robb, of Washington. who was
in Brooklyn on Monday and conferred with Dis
trict Attorney Youngs.
The present situation is capable of only two
solutions. Either Mr.. Beavers will go to Brook
lyn and surrender himself, bench warrant
VIII be obtained for his arrest in Manhattan.
Mr.. Beaverss counsel refuses to allow him to
take the former step. and It is understood that
District Attorney Youngs will not take the lat
ter step, which would compel him to disclose
his case, except in the last resort The East
River seems likely to separate the indicted off,
cial and his prosecutor for several days. for
District Attorney Youngs has showed no inten-
ton OF forcing the issue so far preferring, it is
declared. to allow Mr.. Beavers to get into the
position of fugitive from justice.
United States District Attorney Burnett yes
terday criticised Mr.. Beavers's action severely.
He said:
When man is bona fide resident of one
district and an Indictment is found against him
In another district it is more than fair that
ne should have preliminary hearing before be-
ing transferred. On such a hearing there should
be under rulings in other cases some other evil
dence than the mere fact of the Indictment The
same technical examination would have to be
accorded the defendant even though he were
not bona fide resident of the district in which
he sought the examination. but 1t wouldn't be
necessary to waste so much time fellow
who was merely quibbling with the law.
Beavers, for instance. is really bona f1de
resident Of Brooklyn. That's mis- home. He is
apparently away from there now for no other
purpose than 10 dodge Indictment Morally
he IS not entitled to the same consideration as
If he were really a res dent Of Manhattan whom
the Brooklyn district wanted upon a charge.
For that reason if it is decided to arrest Beav-
ers in Manhattan and examine him before a
United States Commissioner 1t will not be nec-
essary to go into any elaborate examination of
the case.
Proof that he has been indicted and a few
other facts as to why he was indicted ought TO
be sufficient to send Beavers back to Brooklyn
where he belongs. 1 shall do all l can to aid
Mr.. Youngs in this matter.
