Land Hi in Peril.

In the House Of Commons on Tues
day last the amendment Of John Red
mond to the Irish land bill, which seeks
to abolish the minimum price at which
the landlord may sell, even if the ten
ant and landlord might agree on a
lower price, was rejected by vote Of
217 to 40. On the resumption Of the
debate Chief Irish Secretary Wynd-
ham declared he considered that lin
its on bargains were essential precau-
tions. He was unable to accept Mr..
Redmonds proposal to raise the mini
mum reduction to Is per cent in the
case Of second-term rents and 25 per
cent in the case Of first-term rents. Mr..
Redmond expressed regret at Mr..
Wyndham's decision, and said If the
amendment were not accepted by the
government he was afraid they had ar
rived at the parting Of the ways. The
nationalists must stand by the amend
ment and time must be taken for the
consideration of this point by the gov.
ernment, otherwise ninety-five Of the
Irish members would be found in the
lobby against the government. Irish
opinion was united, and If no conces-
sion was made it would be impos.
sible for the Irish members to repre-.
sent the bill as acceptable to the Irish

1rishmen. 1t is only fair to suppose
that work of this kind was utterly un-
congenial to man of Wyndham's an
cestry, and that he must have greatly
rejoiced in his heart when, owing to
the influence of King Edward VII, the
system Of coercion in Ireland was sud-
denly brought to an end, and he found
himself intrusted with the task of in
Producing to the House Of Commons
the present measure for the settlement
of the land question. Every one who
heard the speech which he delivered
on that memorable occasion readily ac-
knowledges that he proved himself one
of the few great orators known to our
present Parliamentary life. In argu-
ment, in eloquence, in voice and in
manner, he appears to have recalled to
his listeners some of the brightest
days of oratory in the House of Com
mons. Those who have known him
most always have felt the charm Of
his graceful bearing and his winning,
genial manners. 1t may be safely TAX
en- for granted that he is destined to
attain great and a commanding posi-
tion in the public life of this country.
Should he succeed in carrying his Irish
measure and in making it thoroughly
acceptable to the people of Ireland, he
will have accomplished a task which
must secure for him a place in his
tory.

On a Mission of Mercy.

Hundreds of persons who gathered
at the church of the Assumption on
Gilbert avenue, Walnut Hills, last
evening to witness the confirmation of
166 children were surprised, after the
services, to see venerable Archbishop
William Henry Elder assisted into a
carriage, which was at once driven in
an easterly direction, instead Of to.
ward the city, says the Cincinnati En-
quirer of the 10th inst.
The archbishop was atHred in the
vestments he had worn during the
confirmation services, his miter, and
carried the crozier in his hand. He
was accompanied by Mgr. Murray and
Father Shee, of Hamilton, Ohio, who
assisted him tenderly into the vehicle
When the fact became known that
the venerable prclate Travelled over

from extreme fatigue to administer
confirmation to a dying child, mem

people. Timothy HeaIy, nationalist,
suggested that the government might
get out of the ENHANCEMENT by bcstow-
ing larger discretionary powers Oh the
estate commissioners. John Morley,
liberal, who said he feared the bill
was in great peril, complained of Mr..
Wyndham's attitude. He said the
English and Scotch members would
only support the bill so long as it was
acceptable to all the Irish representa-
tives. Mr. Wyndham said he realized
the gravity of the situation, but the
minimum reduction must remain 10
and 20 per cent. respectively. He was
ready to consider an amendment
affecting nOr-iudicial telancies. Mr..
Redmond retorted that this was no
concession whatever; the bulk of the
tenants were judicial tenants. The
vote was then taken.

He was informed that the boys
home was at quite distance, but,
nevertheless, insisted upon confirming
the little one. Rapidly the carriage
was driven to Fredonia avenue, and
then plunged down into the ravine
that leads to Avondale. A startled
woman, Mrs. Catherine Maurer, the
boys mother, answered the bell, and
two little girls, their hands swathed
in bandages that concealed the burns
they received while endeavoring to
aid their brother, stood behind her.
The mission was explained and
archbishop Elder was escorted into a
darkened room where the little suf-
ferer, burned from head to foot, was
lying upon the bed. Tears fell from
his eyes as the archbishop explained
his errand, and he murmured: ooh,

said: "Well, he was brave little
fellow, and it made me happy to be

H0nors to Dying Student.

New Haven, Conn.,, June 13.-'HhOmas
Henry Curlsln, a member of the senior
class i'll the academy department of
Yale, was buried from st. Mary's Cath
Ollie church yesterday after an impres.
sive service. Curran died of tuber.
culosis at the home of his parents in
Lake place, this city.
Today it became known that the
corporation of Yale took unprecedented
action in order TO crafty the dying
wish Of the young man, who until
january last, when his health broke
down, had stood among the first schol-
ars of his class.
When he was told a short time ago
that he could hope to live but a few
weeks he expressed hope that he
might live just long enough to receive
his degree from Yale. This wish he
repeated to his family and his physi-
clan and the latter went to see Presi-
dent Hadlcy and told him of the facts
in the case.
"Mr. Curran," said President Had.
ley, "shall have his degree, even though
Yale shall have to break all rules to
give it to him."
A meeting Of the corporation was
called and on Tuesday last report of
the university carried to the young
man the sheepskin with the great seal
Of Yale upon it and cum laude at.
tached. The young man smiled and
said to his mother and sisters:
'Now am ready to go.'
From that moment he sank rapidly
and within twenty-four hours breathed
his last with his bachelors degree ly.

at 2 p. M, continued to strike without

Webster remained silent until the
clock struck twenty, when he thus ap-
