HE SEES HOPE
FOR IRELAND
John Redmond Believes Weakness of
New Cabinet Auspicious for
Home Rule.
Says the Irish Hold Balance of Pow
er in the House of :,
Commons. =.

London, Oct. S.-Irish nationalist
opinion of Premier Balfour's recon-
struction of the cabinet is voiced in a
telegram from John Redmond, the
Irish leader, to the Associated Press,
as follows:
Dublin, Oct. s.-The reconstructed
cabinet Is in it's personnel incompara-
bly, weaker than it was. No new man
of any mark has been added to it.
Arnold-Forster is careful and indus
trious, but he is a most commonplace
official.
alfred Lyttelton is entirely UNI
known outside of the. cricket field.
Austen Chamberlain's promotion to
the chancellorship would under other
circumstances be denounced as a job;
but it is rightly regarded as an auda-
cious, characteristic. maneuver of his
father to gain kudos from his resigna-
ton and at the same time to keep his
grip on the cabinet.
ut goes without saying that the
government cannot last. The deser-
ton of the Duke of Devonshire gave
it Its Knockout blow. !, Whether it
will meet parliament in January or
not is very doubtful. But if it does,
I believe it will not last a week un-
less the Irish party comes to it's res
cue.
1--WE are not over-much concerned
in the merits of it's fiscal policy. What
we are concerned about is reform of
the abuses in Ireland and the restora-
ton of our national government and
we do not very much care from what
English party we obtain our rights.
We stand to win, however the situation
develops. From now onward I be-
lieve we shall hold the balance of
power in the house Of commons.

THE LOYAL CREEKS
Now After Forty Years Uncle Sam
Is Paying Handsomely for
Their Loyalty.
A Lot of Mighty Surprised Darkies
-. in Indian Territory Get
the Money.
Correspondence Of The Journal.

Correspondence OF The Journal. Fl. -.:s..
Muscogee, I. T., Oct. SIT never
rains but it pours, and it's dollars this
time, right out Of the blue sky, and
pie who had not even prayed for
rain. Six hundred thousand dollars,
fresh from the Golfers of your Uncle
Sam-just a little cash reminder of
his generosity.
To be more explicit: The claim Of
the loyal Creeks is being paid. Never
heard of the loyal Creeks?'' Neither
that back in the sixties there were
some loyal Creeks. They were the
slaves of Creek Indians, and when the
war waxed hot, they did what a good
many other negroes did at that time
they lit out for the north. Most of the
five civilized tribes joined with the
south, but a few Creeks and their
to the union lines. What they left
behind they never saw again. Like
other property in the border states,
it was oveIrun and destroyed by the
armies.
That's the history Of It, and that
has been sufficient to base a claim on,
before congress, to compensate these
loyalty" And after Wondering
forty years in the pigeon-holes of the
national capitol by all that's strange
and unbelievable, here it's being paid
Major Mclaughlin of Minnesota, spe-
clal Indian agent of the interior de-
partment, is in Muscogee holding a
colored town meeting every day, in
his endeavor to round up the descend
ants Of the loyal Creeks -.
The poor darkies, hardly yet re-
covered from the shock of having
$4,000 worth of marketable land
thrust upon them, are hardly equal to
the shock Of this 100000 division
But they are sure enough convinced
that jubilee has come at last.
Twenty years ago two army officers
were delegated to look up the loyal
Creeks, and they reported a roll OF
1898 names. Now, forty years after
the loyalty and twenty years after the
making Of this roll, Major McLaugh-
lin is trying to corral the survivors
and descendants.
If one We're particularly, curious to
know how the government. came tc
have this sudden refreshment OF
memory, in regard to this claim, there
is an illuminating suggestion in the
fact that the law, appropriating this
money provides that 100000 of it be
paid for lobby fees. Two attorneys
Benton & Hodge, have been WORKING
on the claim and the former gets Ia
per cent while the latter gets 5.

Sir Thomas, sis the very best thing which
can happen to railroad, so long as tho

as the efforts Of the management of the
Canadian Pacific railroad have always
been directed, toward supplying sufficient
cars to meet any reasonable emergency.
The fact of the matter is, however, that
the Canadian Pacific railroad in common

to be placed in the position Of our friends
across the line who, during the past six
months, have been repeatedly forced to
refuse large quantities of freight, owing
to lack of cars to meet requirements

Liahtnina Strikes a Barn.

A large barn owned by James
Outer, near Hillsgrove, was struck
by lightning during the heavy storm
which passed over that section last
Thursday. The building and con-
tents valued at upwards of 1000 was
totally destroyed by fire. About
81 200 insurance was carried in the
Home Company of Forksville.
over thirty tons of hay, a large
quantity of grain and farming uten-
sils were stored in the barn, none of
which was saved. Two teams of
horses and a fine blooded stock bull
were also confined in the stable when
the bolt struck the barn and fired it
at different points. Mr.. Dutter was
away from home and the work of
rescue was limited to one farm hand
who rushed into the stable and re-
leased the almost sutfocated animals.
Three of the horses escaped. The
bull and one horse were not able to
stand when liberated and were con.
sumed. The fire burned fiercely
and soon laid the valuable property
in ashes.

shops are to be is not yet known,
though the demands upon them,
both with the railroad and several

considerable importance. The shops,
added to the little army of men who

Cancellation Board Have No Jurisdiction.
The Cancellation Board in session
at Philadelphia Tuesday acted upon.
the grievance between the miners of
Mildred and W.B. Gunton operating
at the Lykens Colliery. The ques-
ton at issue was practically decided
against the miners. The employees
assert that Mr.. Gunton made ver-
bal promise during the late strike
that if they would continue to work
he would grant them whatever in
crease was gained through the An
thracite Strike Commission. This,
they assert, he failed to do. On his
part, he denies having made such a
promise. The Boarad of Concilia-
ton passed this matter as one over
which they had no jurisdiction, mas
much as Mr.. Gunton denied that he
made the agreement claimed.
One of the members of the Board
stated that in his opinion there were
but two courses open for the miners;
take the matter to the local court or
strike.
