SIXTEEN YEARS OF CATARRH,

How to cure catarrh has been a
problem in medicine for many years

breathe an air at home which is al
most Identical with that of the Adj

resorts where the air is impregnated
with healing balsams from health Civ

JOHN REDMOND
ON THE LAND BILL
Irish Leader in Parliament Discusses the Great
Measure

fact that Mr.. Cochran will not be
present at the convention.
The Irish members maintain the
same attitude towards the land bill,
reserVing serious criticism of the meas
ure until the text is published, and
are awaiting the decision of the con-
Vention before committing themselves
to definite policy.
John Redmond wrote the following
! for the Associated Press:
THE land bill in many respects is Il
| far-reaching and important measure.
1t proposes a loan for the purpose of
| enabling the landlords to be bought
out to the extent of G100, 900 600, in adj
dition to a bonus, not to be repaid to
amount to at least G12, 000 900.
"Thc bill does not fill all the require
| ments of the case 1t does not provide
as good terms, either for the land
lords or tenants, as proposed at the
recent land conference, but ii marks
an enormous advance on any measure
| of its kind hitherto proposed by an
| English government. 1t is the direct
result of the National Unity movement
| in Ireland and the National party in
Parliament for the last three years,
| which led to the breakdown of coer-
| cion in Ireland and which induced the
| landlords TO come to the conclusion
| that their best interests lay in max
ing friends with the Irish people, in
stead of continuing conflict with them
| The land conference which ensued
! spoke in the name of United Ireland.
| Regarding the result of this meas
ure, l cannot speak with any certainty.
| Its details, many of which seem to me
| highly Objectionable, are capable of
| improvement by discussion. If this
| measure should provide, as everyone
| hopes, a settlement of the land ques-
Ntion, not only will great social and
| industrial problem be put once for all
| on a sound basis, but it will make a
| concession to home rule, in answer to
| the united demand of all classes in Ire
land, in the near future a certainty.
| Until the clauses of the bill are
actually in my hands, I cannot say, of
| course, whether they will actually car
ry out the project in view. Therefore,
I cannot say to a certainty if the bill
will be accepted by the national con-
vention which assemblies in Dublin,
April IA. This great assembly will
have the deciding voice in the matter
If it rejects the bin the measure will
be dead. If it accepts it, subject to
certain amendments, it is quite possible
| the bill may be moulded in commit
tee into such a shape that it will en-
tirely transform Ireland

Take Up the PenneII Case.
When the hearing was resumed after
recess Judge Murphy said: mo more
witnesses will be called in the Burdick
inquest either now or later on. The
Pencil inquest will be begun at 10
o'clock on Monday morning and will be
a separate and distinct investigation. Z"
Mr.. Coatsworth then read the report
of Chemist Hill on the examination of
Burdick's stomach, a golf stick and the
contents of the bottle found on the ia
BILE in the den.
The report on the contents of the
bottle was TO the effect that it con-
tanned no traces of drugs or poisOns.
No blood or any traces of blood were
found on the golf stick.
In the stomach some alcohol was
found. In addition there were particles
of fat, having the smell of butter.
Everything in the stomach was thor
oughly digested. No trace of any drug
or poison was found in the stomach.
Detective Cornish was called to the
stand as the final witness to testify
concerning the shirt found on Burdick S
body.
His Garments Were Shown.
Mr.. Coatsworth produced the under
shirt, which Cornish identified as the
one removed from Burdick's body. He
also identified the underdrawers, which
were found lying across the calves of
the murdered mans legs. The only
hloodstain on them was a spot about
two inches long and an inch wide, di-
rectly back of the right knee. Cor
nish said he noticed what resembled
bloody finger marks on the dead mans
legs. There were no cracker crumbs
on the plate or table, and the crack
ers had not been eaten in the den. The
cocktail glass apparently had been
used.
Detective Coughlin, one of the first
of the police officials to reach the Bur-
dick home after the murder, was the
next witness. He said that he exam
ined Burdick's bed room and found a
vest on the sofa in the bed room. In
one of the pockets was a roll of bills
containing S44. There was no watch
or any other article in the vest.
1t viii be remembered that Burdick's
coat and trousers were found in his
den.

witness will he Pallad in this aSe ,

Coughlin had bd>n excused. This

NO MORE SUCH TREATIES
Are to Become Laws to Govern the
United States Tariff.

Oh1teu suites IarlH.
Washington, March 26.-The an
nouncement in the Jamaica Legisla-
ture regarding the failure of the recip-
rocity treaty with the United States is
but a forerunner of what may be ex-
pected in the case of all agreements of
a similar character which failed to Sc
cure action by the United States Sem
ate.
1t was evident from the attitude Of
that body that the members were OPP
posed to the reciprocity idea as out
lined in the reciprocity treaties that
were sent to it by the President, and
all efforts in the direction of recipro-
city treaties have been abandoned by
the administration. None of the re-
jected treaties, among which is that
with the French republic, it is author
itatively stated, are to be again sub
mitted to the Senate in December next,
and because of the attitude of the Sen
ate the President is discouraging the
formation of new treaties.
Sugar formed an important item of
reciprocal exchange in some of the
treaties, notably in the West Indies,
and so far as that article of import is
concerned, the administration is
estopped from agreeing to any reduc-
ton of duty by reason of the terms
of the Cuban reciprocity agreement,
which specifically provided that no
sugar produced by any country other
than Cuba shall be admitted into the
United States by treaty or convention,
while the Cuban treaty is in force, at
a lower rate of duty than is imposed by
the existing law.

COURT STOPPED SHERIFF.
Decided That Writ of Possession
Was without Legal Merit.

An interesting suit which has been
decided by Judge Barrow is that of
Belle McGirt against John Schwarz,
sheriff, and Robert Culver, interviewer.
In this proceeding the plaintiff sought
to restrain the sheriff from ousting her
from certain property upon which she
lived, contending that the process I'M
der which the sheriff was proceeding
was without merit in point of law.
This writ of possession was predi-
Gated on a verdict obtained in an eject
ment suit against Sarah McGirt, the
mother of the plaintiff, in which Rob-
ert Culver was the complainant. When
the sheriff proceeded to GUST the old
lady, her daughter interposed d claim
of title to the property.
The claim was upheld by Judge Bar
row, who ordered that the sheriff be
perpetually enjOined from distur bing
Sarah McGirt in the enjoyment of the
property. 1t is probable that the next
step in the case will be the institution
of another ejeCtment suit. this time
against the daughter.
Shelby Myrick represented the plain
tiff and Beckett & Beckett the defend
ant.

ton of VIM. N. Amory for a summons
against H. H. Vreeland. whom he
charges with criminal libel. Amory
testified that he had made no agree
ment to withhold publication of his
charge against the Metropolitan
Street Railway Company until Jas. r.
Keene had sold his holdings of the
stock of that company. Il gathered
somehow or other that neither Mr..
Keenc nor Mr. Taylor desired any raid
or anything that should produce a de-
preston on the stock market" he said.
Amory added that he had advised
two men not to buy Metropolitan
stock. but had not advised any one TO
sell it. He had informed VIM. A.
Hazard in January that he intended
to bring proceedings to have the Met
roPolitan company placed in the
hands of a receiver but that he had
not intended to wreck the road.

London, March 26.-Mr. Wyndham
has no cause to be dissatisfied with the
reception given to the Irish Rand bill
up to the present time. A days reflec-
ton has not modified the first favor
able opinions expressed.
Perhaps the strongest indications of
opposition yet evinced have come from
the Ulster landlords, the majority of
whom are said to be unlikely to sell
their estates. T. w. Russell, member
for one of the Ulster districts, de-
clares that this difficulty, arising from
the absence of a compulsory clause in
the bill, will result in a continuance of
the agitation in Ulster by the tenants
who are thus deprived of availing
themselves of the new measure.
William O'Brien has issued a mani
festo criticising many features of the
bill, but strongly deprecating anything
like a hasty condemnation by the
Nationalist convention. Generally
speaking, the Nationalist heartily
welcome the bill, not because they re-
gard it as perfect, but because it gives
ministerial sanction to the principle OF
state aid in the shape of the bonus
provided for under the bill, and be-
cause it is held to contain the germs
Of a future measure of self-govern-
ment for Ireland
Among the provisions of the bill
which Mr.. Wyndham had not time tC
explain yesterday is a very important
one, sweeping away all arrears Of
rent, except for the year preceding the
passage of the act. Several other ex-
tremely good features of the measure
will also come to light when the tex
is distributed.
