Lost Election, but Greatly Reduced
Majority of Conservatives.
London, March 27-The Chertsey
division of Surrey, a Conservative
stronghold, has been retained by the
Unionists as the result of a bye-elec,
ton held for a successor in parlia
ment to II. G. Leigh Bennett, de.
ceased; J. A. Fyler, Conservative, hav.
ing defeated H. H. Longman, Liberal,
by 1,1S0 votes. But as this is only
about one-half the majority obtained
by the Conservatives at the last elec.
tion. the opposition is fully entitled
to consider the rise as being another
blow to the government.
Mr. Longman, who is a Home Rule,
was deprived of a considerable por.
ton of the non-Conformist vote as a
result of the recent manifesto issued
by r. w Perks, Liberal member oil
parliament, who practically controls
the nOn-Conformist vote in England,
declaring that the Liberal leaders must
choose between the Irish or non-Con
formist alliance, because of the ac.
tion Of the Catholic Irishmen in help
ing the government to pass The recent
education bill in the face of violent
non-Conformist protests.

PERsHINe TALKS OF MoRos.
Peculiar Conditions Among Them May
Give Trouble For Years.

Washington, March 27.-Captain
John j. Pershing, of the Fifteenth in
fantry, who has been in command in
the Moro country, has written a let
ter under date of Camp Vickers, Jan.
%, to a personal friend in the war
department in which he gives in de
tail many interesting facts in connec-
ton with the disturbances in Mindan-
40.
Captain Pershing says that after
he was placed in charge of the Moro
affairs by General Davis because he
(Pershing) apparently could get along
with them, he worked on the theory
that it was necessary to establish mu-
tual confidence between the Moros
and the United States. He says
he endeavored to demonstrate them
that the United States is their friend,
having no desire to carry them off into
slavery or to take anything belong
ing to them without paying for it. This
he writes is all contrary to what they
have been accustomed to in the past.
The Spaniards and the Moros could
not get along together we'll. The
Moros were very jealous of their re-
ligion and the Spaniards tried to civ
tlize them by seizing and baptizing
some of them. There were atrocities
committed on both sides as a result
of these differences.
Captain Pershing says the Moros
do not realize any other kind of a
government than a one-man power.
The question of slavery is intimately
connected with their religion, and is
something of a vassalage or serfdom,
and not slavery as is known in this
country. He thinks it is a subject
that should remain untouched until
it is understood better The Moros,
he writes, should have a government
which they can understand, and it
should be the policy of the United
States to let it alone and to make each
sultan and datto responsible for the
acts of his people
I'VE cannot afford" he says, ito
tear down their established form Of
government without giving them some
thing better, and | fear it will be a
long time before this can be done"

Treatment Used

Morristown, n j., March 27.-After
two years of total blindness George
Lewis is able to see. His sight has
been restored by form of the Lo.
renze method of bloodless surgery.
Two years ago he felt a severe pain
in his right eye, which then became
infamed, and finally he could not see,
He went to physicians for treatment
and they decided that in order to
save the sight of the right eye, the
left should be removed The opera
ton was performed, but it gave nc
relief, and Mr. Lewis became totally
blind.
A few weeks ago he heard that a
New Brunswick physician had been
using form of the Lorenz method
and to him he went. After the first
treatment he could see well enough
to walk home, and now, after two
weeks, he is able to read.

GIVE WAY
TO AWFUL STRAIN
Every Effort Being Made to
Stop the Breaks.
THOUSANDS OF ACRES FLOODED.

Breaks Cause Heavy Damage, But
Will Greatly Reduce Volume of Wa

at All Upper Points.
New Orleans, March 27.-With the
water roaring through the break and
spreading over a wide area of country,
the ends of the crevasse near Lucy
We're reported this morning to be
slowly crumbling.
Lumber was scarce at the scene
when the leyee gave way, but a special
train over the Texas and Pacific got
away before daylight with large
consignment of material and planters
have hurried hands from all directions
to the scene. Whether the effort to
mend the break will be successful, it
is impossible yet to say.
The creYasse occurred in bend of
the river, and that will add to the diff
ficulties of the work of repair. Sew
eral square miles of territory have al.
ready been Overfowed, and large por-
tions Of ST. John, st. Charles and JEFF.
ferson will doubtless go under water,
though many of those plantations in
the three parishes which lie alo@g the
river will probably only be affected
by backwater. The flood will find
its way to the gulf through Lake Sal
yador, Bayou Barataria, Little Lake
and other streams
Sugar cane is being cultivated in
the three parishes, and there is con.
siderable area devoted to truck farm
ing. Oyster beds are likely to suf-
fer but there is absolutely no danger
of loss of life.
Members of the LaFourche levee
board went early to the scene to as.
sist in the effort to hold the ends, and
if possible, to close the crevasse.
AS the Lucy break is on the oppo.
site side Of the river from New Or.
leans, the effort will be greatly to the
advantage of the city and of the Ievees
in the Pontchartrain district.
There has not yet been time for the
new outlet to influence the high stage
of the water her, but by nightfall
define may reasonably be expected.
The government gauge registerd 20 g
feet during the forenoon, showing no
rise in the past II hours. Local con.

TEXT OF IRISH LAND
BILL MADE PUBLIC
Measure Is Said To Bristle
With Technicalities.
COMMISSION HAS GREAT POWER.
Full Wording Reveals Many important
Features Which Were Not Mention

Disappointment For Tenants. :.

London, March 27-The text of the
Irish land purchase bill which was
introduced in the house of commons
by the Irish secretary, Mr.. Wyndham,
ON Wednesday last was given out to-
day.
1t occupies SO pages of parliament
airy paper and bristles with technical
tiles. The full wording reveals many
important features which were not
mentioned in Mr.. Wyndham's speech
when the bill was introduced. All
arrears of rent due at the time of the
purchase of land are recoverable by the
land commission, and not the arrears
for a year only, as previously cabled.
The land commissioners, however, are
given power in special cases to remit
part or all of the arrears.
The commissioners are not permit
ted to purchase estates which are pet,
mainly agricultural or pastoral. Thus,
Killarney is exempt under this clause.
In cases of untenanted estates pur-
chased by the commissioners, they are
empowered to execute the necessary
dously enIarges the scope of the com
missions expenditure. The commits
sion is empowered to declare subten-
ants to be tenants of any holding oc-
cupied by them which will vastly ben
eft hundreds.
Fishing and mineral rights, which
are among the most controversial, will
be vested in the commissioners when
an estate is purchased and can be dis
posed of as the commissioners decide.
The commissioners are also empow-
cred to determine boundary and other
disputes between the proprietors OF
holdings under the bill. The commits.
sion has the first claim to purchase
bankrupt estates, and can resell them
to tenants or use portions Of them for
the repatriation of evicted tenants.
The latter point is regarded as being
one of the most vital features of the
bill
