on the trip which led to this great
discovery he was an employe Of the
government at one of the reindeer sta
tons, from which service he obtained
a release in order that he might en-
gage in prospecting. He is a fne-look-

he is a man of intelligence and ca,

REDMoND's CoNcILIAToRY SPEECH
Debate in the Commons on the Expected
Irish Land Bill.
cBv The Associated Press.)

London. Feb 2J-The Irish leader, john Red
mond in the House of Commons to-day moved
an amendment to the address in reply 10 the
e,,aecb from the throne OH the subject of the
Irish land question. Mr.. Redmonds speech was
most conciatory. He said the amendment was
not intended as a hostile demonstration against
tho government but as friendly warning" TO
the Ministry that he and his friends believed the
government was engaged in framing a great
measure Of Justice and appeasement for ireland
which II, the words of the Kings speech, would
.coropIete the abolition of the dual ownership of
the land All he CIr Redmond) wanted was
an assurance from the Chief Secretary for Ire
land Mr. wyndham, that. the government was
engaged in an honest attempt TO solFe the prop
lem on the lines suggested by the report OIL the
recent land conference, which, the speaker
added. offered an unexampled opportunity 10
end the agrarian troubles and CONNECTS between
classes in Ireland
NJ Redmond nointed out that the compromise
proposed i'll the conference report was llnposSi-
ble without state aid. and warned the govern
r1ent that if there any attempt by the
iuggIing of figures to make the tenant bear the
whole burden of the transference of land it
would be vigorously opposed and the whole
scheme would be ruined The state, Mr.. Red
n,ond asserted must supply the difference be-
tween the amount the tenant could afford to pay
and that which the landlord could afford to
take.
Mr. Wyndham, in replying, declined TO COM
nit himself TO any wholesale official approval
of the land conference report, which, he said,
avoided or skirted many considerations which
must be taken into account. The value Of the
work OF the conference. however, could hardly
be overestimated. It showed that large ma
jority of She landlords anC tenants desired and
were ready to make concessions. The Secretary
concluded with expressing the hope that the
spirit OF good sense and good will anmating the
report would be eInulated by the House in its
consideration of the forthcoming measure, which
would make it possible for Ireland to lay the
social foundation upon which it was alone pos
sible to the fabric of healthy national life.
Mr.. Redmond eventually withdrew his amend
ment
Mr.. Price Q-iberaD moved amendment to
the address. providing for the repeal of the law
excluding Canadian store cattle from British
markets
The debate Mr.. Prices amendment occu
pied the night session. Mr. Hanbury, president
OF the Board Of Agriculture, opposed the amend
ment on the ground that ii would be a danger

giving them preference over others. He said he

but that 80 per cent of the farmers in Great

on our part that Mrs DelabaTre, as the then

the property. Mr.. Hagam&n was a wise man.
He believed that where there's Will there's a

STRIKE COMMISSION FOR HOLLAND.
Government Takes a Hand in the Railway
Disturbances There.

The Hague, Feb 25.-The Premier, DR..
Kuyper, introduced in the second chamber Of
the States-General to-day three bills in conrec-
tion with the recent railroad strike. He ex-
rlaEed that the government considered it neces-
sary to oppose any unreasonable attack on So
ciety which would sacrifice the wellbeing of the
people to the desire of certain class for in
1uence and 20 political tyranny. The govern
ment. therefore. proposed 10 form a railroad
brigade TO insure a regular service of trains in
of need The just complaints of railroad
employees would be adjusted by royal commits
sion, which world be intrusted later with the
settlement of the situation from legal point of
view well as regarding the conditions of SER
vice of the employees 1t would also have to de-
eide what constituted criminal acts. The gov
ernment did not desire to be reactionary. 1t
only aimed at effectin2 social reforms.
One of the bills provides for modification of
the penal code with the object of affording a
surer guarantee for the personal freedom OF
labor, and preventing state officials or persons
engaged IN occupations affecting public interests
from absenting themselves from their duties
The bill further provides that refusal to do
duty the part of employees of the railways or
other public services may be punished by six
months Imprisonment Ii two or more persons
rise in rebellion the penalty is increased 10 four
years imprisonment for the ringleaders or those
guilty of criminal acts
