MINNEAPOLIS

descended in attending this meeting,
but felt elevated at the privilege of
presiding.
Mr.. Devlin. in opening. called atten-
ton to the fact that he was in the
United States as the accredited agent
of the United Irish league, an organi-
cation which had raised, the movement
from despair to practical triumph.
In speaking of 5. the object Of the
league, he said 1t was primarily to
complete the work started by Parnell
and Dayitt in 1879: to constitute the
peasants in Ireland masters of their
homes. and to plant in the capital a
basis for government.
Il therefore say" he added. that
those who supported the old Land
league in the days of Parnell and Dav-
lit can consistently support the new,
The purpose of both are the same.
To-day Ireland is on the eve of a
new national life. 1t was only two
years ago that George Window was
given absolute reign. He was ignorant
of Irish affairs, deaf to appeals. and
became tired of the appeals of the
people. The only thing he had to Of
fer was that the landlords and tenants
should bring the fight to an end"
Mr.. Devlin then went on to show
how the tenants soon were at the
mercy Of the landlords, who combined
and entered upon new tyrannies. 1t
was an uneven contest A new order
OF affairs soon prevailed trial by
jury was abolished, the press was
gagged, and every effort possible to
squelch the national spirit was re-
sorted to. But after eighteen months
the upholders of the new order of
things had to admit themselves beaten.
When the land league was organiz-
ed" said Mr.. Devlin, there was not a
peasant who could call his soul his own.
But the league made him a free man,
and today the Irish farmer counts for
more than the landlord or agent" In
referring to the recent passage of the
land bill, Mr.. Devlin said:
I'VE now have a measure that will
break the system that has eaten to the
very heart of the nation"
Mr.. Deviin called attention to the
fact that the old order of things had
resulted in the country being drained
of its life blood: now there ONLY re-
main old people and children. The emf
grafton each year amounts to 10000.
Ireland should be for the Irish, and it's
valuable traditions should be preserved
The Irish should be induced to remain
there
In discussing the constitutional act
of one hundred years ago, which pro-
Vided that only nom Catholics could
serve in affairs, Mr.. Devlin made the
following remark, which was vigorous
ly applauded:
Il will say as an Irish Catholic, that
l will sooner be governed by hun
dred men who differ with me religious
ly, If they are of my own people, than
by hundred foreigners, though they
may have the same faith

ROADS ARE CONSIDERING.
Agents Meet and Discuss Demands of
MiIIers-May Adjust Rates.

Indications are not lacking that the
transportation lines are preparing
to accommodate themselves to the de-
mands of the Minneapolis millers for a
rate on flour shipped to the seaboard
as low as that quoted for wheat. Yes
terday meeting of the general freight
agents of all the roads entering the
city was held in the office of W. l..
Martin, general freight agent of the
500 line, at which the situation was
discussed and arrangements made look
ing to satisfactory adjustment of the
rates.
The Chicago Great Western railway
has taken the initiative steps necessary
for making a rate of 71a cents for flour
and millstuffs from Minneapolis to Chi
cago and to remove the discrimination
in favor of interior points which gives
them an advantage over Minneapolis
of from 212 to cents per 100 pounds.
The interstate comerce commission
has the matter under consideration and
will call meeting at an early date for
the purpose of determining upon the
proposition of the Chicago Great West
ern.

LONGS IN PANIC
TO SEEK COVER
Elevator Companies Will
Force Deliveries of May
Wheat to Avoid Tax.

There was a panic in the wheat pit
yesterday. For an hour or more there
was a dizzy time with May wheat SELL
ing at 75A cents and suddenly Drop
ping at the snap of a finger to 74k
cents.
A report was circulated yesterday
that the elevators intended to force de-
livery on May wheat contracts, and it
put the little traders into a sad state
of mind. The report was generally
sent out and it had a disturbing effect
on all markets. The small traders,
many of whom were long on May, fell
over each other in their haste to I'M
load.
On May 1 the elevator companies of
Minneapolis will turn over to buyers
of May wheat about 1900, 900 bushels.
Barring accidents in the meantime the
deliveries on May contracts are likely
to be the heaviest In the history of the
Minneapolis market
The elevator companies are anxious
to evade payment of the tax imposed
under the clause of the Fryberger tax
bill, which provides that personal
property purchased or acquired on the
LIST day of May shall be listed by or
for the persons acquiring it.
1t is understood that several eleva-
tor companies will notify purchasers
of May wheat today of their intention
to deliver all sales of May wheat on
May 1. The receiver of the wheat on
that date under the law must stand
the tax which has heretofore been paid
by the elevator companies.
The elevator people consider the new
law a good one, as it clearly defines
the liability for the tax in the event of
property transfer on May 1, and there
Is no apparent reason why 1t should
have disturbed the market, unless
among those spectators who intended
to carry May wheat to the close in the
hope of a squeeze. Some of this latter
class may be forced into liquidation.
