LAND BILL PASSED.
The Irish Measure of Relief In
 House of Lords.
WILL BENEFIT THE WHOLE LAND.
John Redmond Says if 1t Works as Is Hoped It Will Effect n Rev. Slutfon lin the Condition
 of Ireland

: LONDON, Aug 12.-The house of lords has passed the third reading of the Irish land bill. The measure will now go back to the house of commons, which will no doubt pass it in its amended form.
 The few changes made in the upper branch of parliament leave the acts original purpose unaffected, and it is not believed that the slightest objection will be made against the amendments.
 John Redmond (NationalisD said of the passage of the bill:
 ''The Irish land bill may now be re- garded as past all danger. We may look upon it as an accomplished fact. If it works as it is confidently hoped it will there%is no question that it will effect revolution in the condition of Ireland. A satisfac ctory home rule bill appears more probable now than the land bill which is just about to be pass ed looked year ago. I feel quite sure that the national movement is now on the highroad to complete success"
 Prior to the third reading of the bill the Duke of Devonshire said that while he was unable. to forecast the action of the house of commons on the land lords amendments adopted by the house of lords he was confident that the position of the government in the lower house would not be altogether ir- reconcilable.
 Lord Abercorn in behalf of the land- lords thanked the duke for his cour- teous reception of the amendments and said he believed the bill would bene- fit the whole of Ireland. He trusted that the amendments would be receiv- ed by the house of commons in the same spirit as they had been passed by the lords.

ROOTS RETIREMENT.
Secretary of War Will Tender
 His Resignation.
BEFORE HE SAILS FOR LONDON.
1t Has Been Known For Some Time That He Intended to Retire. May Be Succeeded by Gov
 ernor Taft.

;, WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. - Before Secretary Root sails for London to sit with the Alaskan commission he will place his resignation in the hands of President Roosevelt in order that the president may appoint a secretary of war. if it is deemed necessary during MT. Roots absence. 1t is expected. however. that t>the resignation will not be acted upon until after congress meets. The appointment of MT. Roots successor will depend somewhat upon Ehe length of time that Secretary Root will be engaged upon the Alaskan boundary commission. "
 It has been known for some time that SecrNsary Root intended to retire, but he did not wish to leave the department until the general staff bill was in oper- ation and other matters pertaining to the department were well under way. It is understood that the matter of his successor has been discussed, and, while nothing official can be obtained, It is believed that the position will be eendered to Governor Taft.
 Z While Secretary Root is in London he will remain in communication with the war department, and matters pertain ing to the general staff and other inn portant affairs will be referred to him. If the sittings of the Alaskan commis- sion extend beyond Dec. 1 it is likely that the secretary's resignation will be accepted and his successor appointed at that time, and if the situation in the war department becomes such that secretary is needed to take charge of affairs one will be appointed earlier. It Is believed here that there will be a great deal of delay in consideration of the Alaskan boundary case and that the United States commissioners may be detained in London several months.
 Secretary Root6 desire to leave pub lie life is based largely on personal grounds. His family does not like the life in Washington, and the secretary desires also to return to his law prac- tice in New York city. The great ques- tions that were pending in. the war de- partment, relating mainly to the ad- ministration of the islands acquired from Spain and the establishment of a government in Cuba, have been settled during Secretary Roots administration.
 The reorganization of the army un- der the general staff plan is now under way, and the secretary feels that he has accomplished the work that he was called on to do when he became secre- tary of war.

Release of Princess RadxiwflI at
 Cape Town.
 CAPE TOWN, South Africa. Aug. 12. Princess Radziwill, who was sen fenced to two years Imprisonment by the supreme court April 30, 1902, for forgery in connection with notes pur- porting to have been indorsed by the late Cecil Rhodes, has been liberated from prison and has started for Eng land.
 The Princess Radziwill is the daugh- ter of the Austrian Count Dymsli, for naerly one of the great landed proprie- tors of Galicia, where he possessed several grand castles. He sought to have his daughter marry a wealthy manufacturer, but she eloped with Prince Radziwill on the eve of the day set for her marriage to the manufac- turer.
 Three years ago she appeared in Lon don, lived in luxurious style and was apparently possessed of much wealth. One day it was reported that she had been robbed of thousands of dollars worth of jewels. and there was deal of trouble over the matter until it was discovered that they were paste and that the real jewels were in a safe place. Subsequently she went to South Africa and attempted to float evidences of credit purporting to have been sign ed by Cecil Rhodes, but which were re- pudiated by him and which led to sev eral suits at Cape Town, finally culmi- mating in her conviction.
 Tn commenting upon her remarkabl career at the time of the sentence the London papers generally attributed Cecil Rhodes death to the worry which she had caused him, obliging him to re- turn to South Africa in the hottest weather to fight the case. ... ,
