Redmond's Opinion Of the Recon-
structed Cabinet.

London, Oct. 9,-The Irish Nation
alist opinion of Premier Balfours re-
constructed cabinet is voiced in a
telegram from John Redmond. the
Irish leaier, to the Associated Press
as follows:
The reconstructed cabinet is, in
its personnel. incomparably weaker
than the old. No new man Of any
mark has been added to it. Arnold
Forster is careful and Industrious but
he is a most commonplace official.
Alfred Lyttleton is entirely un-
known outside of the cricket field and
Austen Chamberlain promotion to
the chancellorship would under other
circumstances be denounced as job.
1t goes without saying that the gov
ernment cannot last. The desertion
of the Duke of Devonshire gave 1t its
knockout blow Whether 1t will meet
parliament or not in January is very
doubtful But If it does | believe it
will not last a week unless the Irish
party comes to it's rescue. We are not
overmuch concerned in the merits Of
it's fiscal policy. What we are con-
cernod about is reform of the abuses
in Ireland and the restoration of our
national government and we do not
very much care from which English
party we secure our rights. From
now onward | believe we shall hold
the balance of power in the house of
commons"

Regulars and Militia In a General En-
qagement.

West Point, KY, Oct. 9.-The entire
force of regulars and national guards
men in camp took part in general
engagement during the day. The
problem provided by Colonel Wagner,
the chief umpire, called for the con
tact Of the Blue and Brown forces of
equal strength (about 5000 each).
These forces represented the advance
guards of the Blue and Brown main
bodies Imaginary, each commander
being in ignorance OF his opponent s
plans, decided to attack.
The arrangement, consequently,
made the meeting point of the forces
doubtful and called for quick daci-
sions Oh points of strategy and dis
position of the troops. This arrange
ment resulted in some OF the best
moves yet made. The main encounter
was precipitated shortly after noon
and resulted in the heaviest firing yet
indulged in

FOR A JOINT COMMISSION.
President Roosevelt Will Recommend
One to Study Finance.

Washington, Oct. 9.-It Is said that
the president will recommend to con-
gress the appointment of joint COM
mission to study the financial situa-
ton and outline proposed currency
legislation. 1t has been urged on Mr..
Roosevelt that this would be the plan
most likely to succeed In harmonizing
the conflicting opinions of congress
men and bankers as to what Is needed
in the way Of new laws.
Secretary Shaw opposes the commits
sion scheme. He believes that each
member of it would adhere to his own
views and that as they would be Sc
lected from different camps there
would be as many widely different re-
ports as there are members OF the
commission. The result would be to
leave congress as much In the dark
as ii Is now.

Attracts Universal Attention.
This tribunal" declared Mr. Dick
inson, lis unique and the treaty VIII
entirely miscarry unless at least one
member shall decide against the con
lention OF his own people. The faith
thus manifested by the governments
OF Great Britain and America that
Judgment and justice will be exalted
above the plane where the sympatnies
that move men have sway challenges
the attention OF mankind and dis
tinguishes this tribunal above all otn-
ers. 1t does not follow that failure
to reach decision will show that
such faith was in any degree mis-
placed, but if settlement is reached
it will be triumphant epoch in his
.ory-the struggle OF humanitarian
principles for the substitution OF some
thing better than war as the sole
court determining international diner
ences. What could give higher In
spiration to those laborng for the
peace Of the world than the settle
ment OF tlese issues, so pregnant OF
possibilities? If the tribunal should
render judgment practically unani-
nous 1t would be the strongest assur-
ance yet given to humanity that the
Christian nations are tending toward
the only practical realization of the
poets dream of a parliament OF ma
tions and confederation OF the
world
Lord Alverstone said he had heard
many leaders of the American bar
speak In arbitration and other cases,
but Mr.. Dickinson's argument equaled
anything he had ever heard and he
had not suffered by the fairness and
impartiality with which he had pre-
sented his arguments.

night" said Mt.. Loper. land before the
week ends we will have 100 tons more.
All of this hay will be bailed and shipped
to the Lewiston markets. A crew of ID
men are at work putting the hay in the
shock. We are paying good wages. 1t
is expected that the hay will all be taken
care of next week and then headers will
be at work on 24o acres of barley that is
estimated by most people at 90 bushels
per acre. Wheat will average about 4o
bushels per acre. The grain companies
have made an offer on the whole crop oi
rs cents for barley and 90 cents for wheat
but it has been refused. The reports
/, state that the brewing barley crop in Cal
itornia is a failure and prices are almost
sure to range high" Mr.. Loper stated
that he had never seen heavier~erop o
straw on wheat in his life in any country
Although the spring wheat straw is much
the heaviest on account of the late rains
the heads do not begin to equal those or
the fall sowing either in size or plump
) ness
incidentally Mr.. Loper said that hi

scription TO pay teacher $4s per montl
