LAND BILL FOR IRELAND.
Long Anticipated Measure Is Intro
duced in British House of Com
mons by Mr.. Wyndham.
PROPOSES FREE GRANT OF $50, 900, 900
islation-MichaeIDa vitt Celebrates
Fifty-Seventh Birthday by Rcen-
tering the House-The Summary of
Principal Features of the Bill.

London. March 26.-The Irish secre-
tary, Mr.. Wyndham, introduced the
governments long anticipated Irish
land bill in the house of commons
Wednesday afternoon It proposes
free grant of 100000 for the pur-
poses of the bill. Tenants are to pay
3A per cent. interest on loans from the
government. Mr. Wyndham said he
thought the scheme would not involve
$500, 900, 900, but that $3.50, 100000 could
safely be advanced on Irish land. The
advances to tenants are limited to ST.
500 in the congested districts and
$1,000 elsewhere. The bill also pro-
vides that untenanted farms and graz
ing lands shall be sold to neighboring
tenants and that three commissioners,
to be known as estate commissioners,
shall supervise the sales. The names
of the three commissioners are Michael
Finucane, secretary to the government
of Bengal revenue, general and statis-
teal department.; Frederick S. Wrench.
now one of the Irish land commission
ers, and William F. Bagley, one of the
assistant commissioners on the Irish
land question. They will be under the
control of the lord lieutenant of Ire
land. The bill will become effective

the available supply of government
bonds and thus furnish an. inducement
to the national banks to increase their
circulation.
VIII Prevent Stringency.
The ability of the treasury to loan
more money to the national banks un-
der the present law has practically
terminated, first, because the available
cash balance is not any too large, and,
secondly, because the supply of govern
ment bonds is so small there is little
more inducement for the banks to re-
ceive government deposits than to is
sue circulation.
If the secretary's plans are carried
out it will put into the hands of the
banks for basis for government de-
posts no less sum than $3.50, 700, 600 of
government bonds. In this way it
ought to be easy for the big national
banks to issue enough circulation to
provide money for moving the crops
next fall without producing any un-
usual stringency in the money market.
bonds Outstanding.
There now are outstanding a total
of about 1898 900 four per cent.
bonds, which are not redeemable until
1907, and $97,OOO,OOO three per cent
bonds, redeemable after August /, 1908,
these last being all that are left of
about twice that amount originally is
sued to pay the expenses of the war
with Spain.
The circular issued by the secretary
of the treasury yesterday gives notice
that he will exchange two per cent.
government bonds, payable 30 years
from April 1, 1900, for these short term
three and four per cent. bonds on the
basis already established by law.
First Response.
Washington, March 27.-The first re-
Spouse to the offer of the secretary of
the treasury to refund three and four

consols, was received Friday. The ma
tional banks at Richmond, Va, an
nounced their readiness to exchange

Inducement to Banks.

Furthermore, under the existing law,
the circulation based on the two per
cent. bonds is taxed only at the rate of
half cent year, whereas all other
circulation is taxed twice as much as
that.
The refunding of the three and four
per cent. loans, which are due in 1905
and 1907, will therefore add largely to
the available supply of government
bonds and thus furnish an. inducement
to the national banks to increase their
circulation.

Duties of Commissioners.

The commissioners are not permit
ted to purchase estates which are nos.
mainly agricultural or pastoral. In
cases of untenanted estates purchased
by the commissioners they are en-
powered to execute the necessary
works of improvement which tremen-
dously enlarge 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 bene-

Important Features.

London, March 2s.-The full word
ing of the Irish land purchase bill,
which was introduced in the house of
commons by the Irish secretary, MIR.
Wyndham, reveals many important
features which were not mentisned.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 COM
mission, 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.

it's first witness.
Miss Mary Julia Roper testified
that she was a trained nurse. She

1902 and while there had charge of
an in6rmary carried on by Drs. Black

and assisted to nurse him. She met

that Capt. Elliott was an uncle of N
G.. Gonzales. She nursed Capt. Eli

ever hear MI. Gonzales refer to Gov

Yes. Do you remember in this con.

or mention Gov. Tiilman. Yes, sir.

it one or more or several occasions
that you heard him speak of Mr.. Till

rience with Peruna:

John o. Atkinson,
Box 2Z2, Independence, Mo.
When old age comes on, catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic catarrh is al
most universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so indispensable to old people. Peruna
is their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that meets these
cases exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally;
nothing but an effective systemic rem
edy could cure them. This is exactly
what Peruna is.
If you do not receive prompt and sat-
isfactory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving a
