Irish Policy On Wrong Lines For .
Century.

b -
London, April IL, Right Hon, John
Morley, speakingat Montrose, referred
to the introduction Of the Irish land
bill as a new, great chapter in the
Irish revolution, and D confession by
the government that their Wanted
policy Of resolute government in
ireland, pursued for seventeen years,
was an aBject failure, SO abject that
that they were to pay millions of
pounds to get on u completely new
track. 1t was u case Of the reformed
transformed and an acknowledgement
that the Irish policy Of the last cen.
tury had been upon entirely wrong
lines. As to being converted to home
rule, he did not suppose that the gov
eminent had any more idea Of home
rule now than they had six months
ago Of this land bill.
Mr.. Morley said he agreed with
John Redmond as to the individuality
of mixing the questions of land and
home rule, but 10 transfer the Irish
land to the people would greatly

tigatlon Of the affairs Of the postoftice
department will be continued and that
any persons found guilty Of wrong do

faulty, the proper remedies will be

augurated the investigation with tile
determination that It should be ex.
haustive. 1t is proper for me to add
that laid before the president the in
formation which had in my possession
and that he fully approved Of tile ac-
ton proposed by me.
Congress will depend largely on the
report to be made by Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow Oh the

meantime may necessitate some dcvia-
lions from the policy.
The office Of the assistant attorney
general for the postotfice department is
among the bureaus included in the

eighth congress and some decisive

tor Quay. The senator has just re-
turned from Florida trip and will
remain in Washington several days
looking after personal and official bust
ness matters.
~ do not think that any definite
plan has been decided upon" con.
tinued the senator, us to the form in
which the bill will be presented, but !
am confident that the sentiment of
congress is such that it will be impossi-
BILE to delay legislation on tile subject
through another session. | am aware
that the opponents of the omnibus bill
have an idea that it will not be revived
In formidable manner, but these gem
tlemen have missed their calculations
before, and there is no guarantee that
they will not be surprised to find
sentiment in favor Of legislation Of this
character that will result in the adop-
ton Of some generally acceptable plan
for disposing of the subject without
much of a fight at the next session."
1t is known that when the bill was
sidetracked in the senate it was with u
tentative understanding that it would
be revived at the next session in some
form.
A plan generally discussed is for a
union of Arizona and New Mexico as
one state and Of the Indian territory |
and Oklahoma as another.
