ATTACKED POWER HOUSE.
Indiana Railway Strikers Engage in
Riot.

Riot.
South Bend, Ind, Feb. 23.-An at
tempt was made by a mob of $50 men
to wreck the power house of the In
diana Railway company and do injury
to the employees there today. There
were sever men at the power house
when the attack was made.
One, the Waterman, named Deit-
rich, was thrown bodily through a
window and seriously injured. J. O.
Ovitt and M. l.. Lester we're badly
pummeled and gashed by brickbats,
stones and clubs. The attack was
planned for an hour when it was
thought the police could not reach the
scene in force, but proved ill-timed.
for a detachment reached the place
in time to make some arrests.
Among those arrested are two ex-
employees Of the company, who went
on a strike, named Warrell and
Boeche. They will be charged with
conspiracy, riot and assault with in
tent to kill. The hose was turned on
the fire under the boilers. Much dam
age was done to property.

The Irish %unionist leaders are of
the opinion that the whole question
might be declared settled in advance
if the government was not so "des-
perately hard up" In consequence
of this lack of funds, Mr.. Wyndham's
bill will not be introduced until af-
ter the presentation of the budget,
so that any money to carry out the
provisions of the bill will not be in
cluded in the years taxes.
Chancellor Of the Exchequer Richie,
while quite sympathetic toward Ire
land, now faces a more serious finan-
cial situation and more bitter pro-
tests against overtaxation than have
confronted any chancellor in recent
years.
The phenomenally small govern
ment majorities since parliament re-
assembled are indications of the
storm which is brewing over Mr..
Ritchie's head. He must also float
a new Transvaal loan before October.
and the government, for this reason,
is particularly anxious in this respect.
C~onsols, Saturday, were at the low
est point reached this year, and in
uuiries made at Anglo-American bank
ing houses, such as the Morgans,
Seligmans and Speyers, reveal the
fact that there is no indication OF the
United States subscribing to a loan.
Since the last war loan was so
largely underwritten in New York the
international monetary situation has
completely changed. and the firms
here say the Americans now need
their capital for use at home.
One financier said: "lf the gov
eminent would bring out a loan that
would really provide means for set
thing the Irish question, they would
get more underwriting than they
would know what to do with. both
here and in America"
Mr.. Redmond was asked point blank
If he thought the landlords were in
earnest. He replied:
81 have every reason to think they
are just as anxious as we are to set
tie.
"If Mr.. Wyndham brings in a bill
on the lines of the decision arrived
at by the Dublin conference the great
est step in the industrial and social
history of Ireland will have been ac-
complished.
more than that, it will be a most
step toward home rule.
Under the new system the landlords
will live in Ireland, derive benefit
from their property and begin to take
a new interest in Irish affairs.
"They will then see the necessity
for an extension of local government
and will eventually become as anx-
ious as ourselves to secure home rule"

of the bill is revealed. A great ma

in Dublin in April to take action on
the subject
The duke of Abercorn, who is pres
ident of the powerful Irish landlords
to join the earl of Mayo in a move
ment to join the n%ationalists, but later
signified it's assent, frankly admits
that he is amazed at the results
achieved and at the "happy topsy-
turvydom'' now prevailing in Irish
politics.
Asked if he thought the nationalist
were sincere in their professions of
willingness to settle the long-standing
grievances by a compromise, he en-
phatically expressed his belief in
their complete sincerity. The duke
could not conceive that the govern
ment would "stand on any bubbles"
when the solution of the most serious
problem of the empire was within
it's grasp. He thought the process
of changing the holdings from the
landlord to the tenant might posi-
bly, cost So, 500, 900 annually, adding:
1T surely would be cheap at that
price"
Neither Mr.. Redmond nor Lord
Dunraven believe the transfer of the
land would involve more than $780,
900 annually, and both think that
the economies resulting from the
cheaper administration would greatly
