FAR REACHING.

What John Redmond Has to Say of the
Irish Land Bill.
London, March 27.-Jchn Redmond
wrote the following in part for the AS
ISOLATED Press:
1.-THE land bill 10 many respects is
a far-reaching and important meas
ure. I. proposes a loan for the pur-
pose of enabling the landlords to be
bought out to the extent of loo, O0o, 900
pounds, in addition to bonus not to
be repaid. to amount to at least s12,-
100000 The bill does not fill all the
requirements of the case 1t does NOT
provide as good terms either for the
landlord or tenants as proposed at
the recent land conference, but it
marks an enormous advance on any
measure of its kind hitherto proposed
by an English government, 1t is the
direct result Of the unity of the ma
tional movement in Ireland and the
National party in parliament. for the
last three years which led to the break
down of coercion in ireland and which
induced the landlords to come to the
conclusion that their best interests lay
in making friends with the Irish peo-
pie instead of continuing in conflict
with them. The land conference

AFTER BUCKET SHOPS,

New York and New Orleans Cotton Ex-
changes Said to Be Against Them.
New Orleans, March 27.-The New
Orleans cotton exchange is said to
have under consideration request of
the New York to cooperate with that
body in striking an effective blow at
bucket shops. 1t is understood here
that exchange has entered into an
agreement with the telegraph com.
pantes whereby the latter will be OBJ.
Hgate themselves not to furnish cot.
ton futures quotations to any firm not
on list to be furnished by the ex-
change. and Secretary King is said
to be now preparing the list. If the
New Orleans exchange ratifies the
agreement, bucket shops throughout
the country will be put to a serious
disadvantage If not actually elimina-
ted. The news of the request from
New York has been secret. but a COM
mittee of the local exchange is said
to have the matter in charge, and the
probability is that favorable report
will be adopted upon it.

NO LETTERS.
General Macdonald Left Nothing BEHIND

General Macdonald Left Nothing BEHIND
That Is Intelligfble.
Paris, March 27.-Efforts were made
to trace the letters and documents re-
ceived by Major General Macdonald
from the Waraoffice shortly before his
suicide, as it was thought that they
might throw light on the motive for
the act, but the magistrate who has
taken charge of the dead mans eff.
fects says no letters or documents
We're found except some unintelligible
scribling which would indicate that the
writer was in a dazed condition. AS
a number of letters from the war of.
ice were delivered to him last Wednes.
day and Thursday the authorities con-
Guided that the general prepared for
his end by first destroying the letters.
The Figaro asserts that one of the
letters received by Sir hector Melon
aid from the war Office on Wednesday
morning was an ultimatum ordering
him to leave forthwith for Ceylon, thus
destroying his last hope of a recon
slderation OF his case by the war au-
thorities in England! The fact, how
ever, that the general took his life
soon after he was observed scanning
two newspapers publisher IN English
giving the charges made against him
and publishing portrait of him, is
taken as indicating that pain at the
publicity rather than any action by the
British war office determined his act.

BURDiCK INDICATED.
This Seems TO Be the Opinion as to As

pensions Upon His Character.
Buffalo, N. Y. March 27.-The in
quest into the death of Edwin L. Bur
dick, who was murdered a month ago
Thursday in his home In Ashland
avenue. has ended.
At the close CT che inquest Judge
Murphy announced that an official in
quiry into the death of Arthur R. Pen
nell who has figured prominently in
the Burdick inquest. would be begun
on Monday.
The Burdick inquest has served 20
develop several theories relative 70 the
crime, but the investigation has not
edded anything more than an appear
ance Of reasonability to any of these
theories. Aside from the failure Of
the authorities to secure evidence bear
ing directly upon the commission OF
the crime or to establish the identity
OF the murderer, there is feeling Of
satisfaction that the name of Mr.. Bur-
dick has been lifted from the mire in
which it was first dragged, and that
his character has been shown Ia it's
true light. The evidence brought out
under the examination of witnesses by
District Attorney Coatsworth has
shown Burdick to have been a loving
father; always willing to sacrifice his
own happiness and pride for the sake
of his children: that he was the victim
of false friendship. broken pledges and
in face: of it all, a forgiving. indulgent
husband.
The efforts of the authorities 20 fix
the crime upon some one will not end
with the inquest. At the same time
there is now little hope of success in
this undertaking.
