Schwab, president of the Bnited
States Steel Corporation, returned to-
day on the steamer Kron Prinz Will
helm from an extended tour of Bu-

HOPE FOR IRELAND.
what John Redmond Had TO Shy
for His Cou ntry.

what John Redmond Had to Say
for His Country.
London, March 17.--John Redmond
presided over the st. Patricks Day
banquet given tonight at the Hotel
Cecil, and at which 700 persons sat
down. The United Irish League of
America sent a cablegram of greeting.
John Redmond proposing the toast of
ireland, a Nation" said that the as
piration of Irishmen was not an igno-
rant dream of gain of vengeance. The
political movement was never fuller of
hope and triumph than at the present
moment, and in justice to themselves
they must recognize that the success
thus achieved was directly due to the
unity, courage, self-sacrifice and or
ganization of their people. They could
not forget this in the presence of those
Irish members of Parliament who since
last st. Patrick's Day banquet had
suffered in English prisons.
They might also congratulate them
selves on the beginning of great edu-
cational and Industrial review in Ire
land, which would enable it to COM
pete with the foreigner, and last, but
not least, there was revival of the
cause of temperance. That was a rec
ord, continued Mr.. Redmond, to glad
en- the hearts of Irishmen wherever
they might be assembled on ST. Pat
rick's Day. Never had the scattered
children of Ireland more solid reason
for absolute faith In the delivery OF
their race,

TO ESCAPE DISGRACE.

ST. Louis, March 17.-Dr. A. B. Nc
Kee was found dead and his twin
brother and comrade, Charles Mckee,
dying in the stable of Mckee at Ed
wardsville, ILL.,, to-day under circum-
stances that indicate dual suicide to
escape a disgrace that threatened the
physician and which his brother dread
ed as much as if it were his own. The
explanation grows out of the arrest of
DR.. Mckee on a charge of criminal
assault a few days ago.
He was known to have greatly wor-
ried over the case, but it was not
thought he would commit suicide.
When the bodies were discovered, DR..
Mckee had been dead several hours
and Charles Mckee was breathing
family, but died fifteen minutes later.
