Perhaps one of the characteristic
things about Mr.. Bowen Is the way he
takes painsato praise others who help him
in his work. Notice how he gave Mr..
Harrington the credit In the Barcelona
incident. And notice, also how he now
goes out. Of his way to praise Mr.. Russell,
the American secretary, for all the good
work he is doing. Had Admiral Sampson
adopted this policy in his famous dis
patch after the. Santiago victory, there
would have been no Schley controversy,
and he would have riValed Dewey in the
hearts Of the people. -

MORLEY ON THE LAND BILL.
Proof That Irish Policy for Century
 Has Been Wrong.

London, April 13-John Morley, speaking at Montrose tonight, referred to the introduction of the Irish land bill as a new, great chapter in the Irish revolution and a confession by the gov ernment that their vaunted policy of a resolute government in Ireland, pursued for seventeen years, was an abject fail- ure-so abject that they were to pay millions of pounds to get on complete ly new track. It was case of the de- formed transformed, and an ocknowl- edgment that the Irish policy of the last century had been upon entirely wrong lines. As to being converted to home rule, he did not suppose that the government had any more idea of home rule now than it had six months ago of this land bill. MT. Morley said that he agreed with John Redmond as to the inadvisableness of mixing the questions of land and home rule, but to transfer the Irish land to the people would greatly strengthen the principle of self government for Ireland.

REQUEST FOR VOTING MACHINES
Hartford VIII Send Them Here If Safety
 Guaranteed.

Hartford, April 1Ss-The selectmen considered at their meeting to-day the request from the city of New Haven for permission to use five of Hartford's s voting machines at the coming city elec- ton. Mayor Sullivan explained to the board the circumstances leading to the requests. The selectmen after little discussion got into communication by telephone with Mayor StudIey of New Haven and asked him whether any one would guarantee the safety of the ma chimes. if they were loaned. Mayor Studley replied that the action taken by the aldermen authorized no guaran- tee of that sort. Upon receipt of this information the selectmen decided to send dispatch to the manufacturers of the machines, who are anxious to have them'tried in New Haven, asking wheth- CT they would guarantee their safety. No answer had been receivd by the manufacturrs this evening. If the mak- CTS give the desired guarantee, however, the machines will be shipped. and men will be sent from this city to give in
 struction in their use prior to the cleo tion, while machinists will go along also to keep them in order. the whole ser vice to be performed for the $400 appro-
 priated by the New Haven aldermen. Unless the guarantee is forthcoming, the machines will remain in Hartford.

Her mother was Sophia Brainerd, daughter of Colonel William Lyon of New Haven, and descendant of Gov .ernor Theophlius Eaton and several of the first settlers of the town. At an early age, she wrote a memoir of her father, which was published in Hart ford. She was married August 26, 1847, to Rev. S. Dryden Phelps, D. D., who was for twenty-nine years the minister }of the First Baptist church, New Ha- ven. From 1876 to 1893, she wrote the expositions of the International Sunday School Lessons for the Christian sec- retary of Hartford, of which her hus- band was for twelve years the editor and proprietor. For six years in that city, she gave on Saturday afternoons an exposition of the lesson to Sunday school teachers, and clergymen also found profit in attendance. She was herself a teacher of the Bible nearly all her life, and had one class in the First Baptist church from 1347 to 1874 and in Calvary church about thirteen years. She was a fine French scholar widely read in English literature and in every way a highly cultivated wo-
 man. She was intensely loved by all that knew her. She leaves two. sons, Professor William Lyon Phelps, pro- lessor of English literature at Yale, and Rev. w. Dryden Phelps, both of whom resided with their mother.

United states Declines to Resort to Co.,
 ercive Measures.


 ercive Measures. Washington, April 13.-An interest ing account of an effort made by Great Britain and Germany to induce the United States to join with them in fore ing 8 settlement of foreign debts is contained in the forthcoming volume of foreign relations of the United States. Interest attaches to this incident be- cause of it's resemblance to the Vene- zuelan episode The following note was addressed to Secretary Hay: ''The council of foreign bondholders | in London which is seeking to make g. new arrangement with the government of Guatemala respecting the foreign debt of that country has suggested that the proposed arrangement ought to be acknowledged by the most interested l powers, Germany, the United States and England, in order to induce the government of Guatemala to stick to the new arrangement. The imperial German embassy would be much oblig- | ed if it could be informed whether the | United States government would be in- elined to join in a proceeding of the above mentioned kind, should 1t be adopted by the German and English l governments"
 To this MT. Hay replied: While the government of the United States is indisposed to join in any col- lective act which might bear the as- pect of coercive pressure upon Guate- mala this government would reserve for it's citizens equal benefits with those which might be obtained for creditors of any other nationality in the adjustment of the Guatemalan for eisn debt and the United States minis- ter at Guatemala will be instructed to ! advise the Guatemalan government of this attitude on the part of the United ! States"

Promotions suspended Pending In- 5 &#E5 r%~ qnsrv.

New York, April 13.--All the promo tions and allowances in the New York postoff1ee authorized by the salary and allowance division of the department when George w. Beavers was it's chief have been cancelled by order of First Assistant Postmaster General Wynne pending the investigation of the charges that promotions had been sold. It is charged that the salary and allowance division added many names to the list of recommendation forwarded by Post master Van Cott.
 Other matters are to be investigated also. Baker Brothers, representing the manufacturers of the Dey time clock, have filed charges alleging discrimina- tion against their clock, and in favor of the Bundy clock, now in use throughout the service. e$%,
 Still another charge brought to the at- tention of the postoffice officials is to the effect that certain firm of wagon lnak- CTS has received information concern ing the establishment of rural mail routes and the appointment of carriers considerably in advance of the publi- cation of the facts by means of which Information they were able to sell mail wagons to the carriers before their com petitors had an opportunity to do so.

POSTOFFICE CORRUPTION.
SCANDALS TO BE PROBED TO THE
 VERY CORE.
Whole Administration of the Depart ment Made Subject to the Investiga- tiOn by Postmaster General Payne's E.rsctions-statement Issued by Him
Last Night.

Washington, April 13.-Postmaster General Payne this evening gave out statement in which he announced that the investigation of the affairs of the postoffice department will be continued and that any parties found guilty of wrong doing will be dealt with sum- marily. The statement is as follows:
 During the months of January and February information and reports reached me, which I deemed it for the public interest to investigate and I, per- sofially, gathered such information and facts as would enable the proper off, cers of the department to undertake thorough investigation as to the truth or falsity of these charges. I directed Fourth Assistant Postmaster General BristoW to take the proper steps to in- stitute the necessary inquiry, using for that purpose the postoffice inspectors dicision, and such other methods as would thoroughly ascertain the truth or falsity of the charges or insinuations made, and he was instructed to proceed promptly and with vigor during my ab- sence. Since my return this morning have not seen General Bristow, so that I am not advised of the progress made. The investigation will continue, and if any wrong doing is disclosed the parties guilty of such wrong doing will be summarily dealt with. If the sys- tenn or method of doing business in the department is faulty, the proper reme- dies will be applied without fear or fo r 4,J { with the determination that it should be exhaustive. It is proper for me to add that I laid before the president the information which had in my posses sion and that he fully approved of the action proposed by me"
 The whole administration of the post office department is made subject to the investigation under Postmaster General Payne's directions and every charge will be probed thoroughly and the inquiry made as thoroughly as the departments most expert inspectors can made it.
 At the same time MT. Payne's pur- pose is to give fair and just treatment to all concerned, and not to act arbitra- < rily and with undue haste. For this req son it can be stated that no immediate charges of importance in the personnel of the service arc now contempla ted and charges will depend largely %on' the report to be made by Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow on the in- vestigation, although developments meantime may Inecessitate some devia- 'tion from this policy.
 It was learned that it may be several weeks or more before the postoffice in- spectors will be able to complete their work When they have finished Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow will prepare a comprehensive report of the whole subject. The report neces- sarily will embrace matters as to which publicity may rot be warranted, so it is probable some parts of the repoft will be withheld from publication.
