WELCOMES IRISH LAND BILL.
John Redmond Makes Important
Speech at Dublin.

London, April 9.-John Redmond,
the Irish leader, made an important
speech at Dublin in which he welcomed
the Irish land bill, in spite of its great
defects, as the first measure proposed
by an English minister having the
avowed object of carrying into effect
the policy of Parnell and the land
league. He said he did not wish to
forestall the decision of the coming
national convention at Dublin. The
latter's acceptance of the bill would
mean it's amendment and its certain
passage into law. The rejection of the
bill by the convention would mean that
both Chief Secretary Wyndham and
his bill would disappear. He knew
what he was saying when he said that
at this moment the position of the
government. of Mr.. Wyndham, and Of
the land bill were all weak positions.
He deprecated any mixing up OF the
questions of land and home rule. He
believed that the settlement OF the
land questions would remove the most
formidable obstacle on the road to
home rule, but the suggestion made by
some Liberals that the Irish land bill
should be accompanied by measure
of home rule was dangerous and the
suggestion was likely to wreck the bill.
He considered that Ireland ought to be
prepared to give Mr.. Wyndham's at
tempt to deal with the question fair
trial
After outlining the desirable amend
ments to the land bill, Mr.. Redmond
expressed surprise that there should
be any uncertainty regarding the re-
ception that Ireland would give to
King Edward on his coming visit. He
was convinced that the king was
friendly to Ireland.

ARKANSAS CITIES SUFFER
FEARED THE LITTLE TOWN OF
Z HIRAM HAS BEEN WIPED OFF
THE EARTH.
DESTROYS ALABAMA TOWN
TORNADO SWEEPS AWAY HOPE

TEN PERSONS.

Little Rock, Ark, April 9.-Specials
30 the Gazette from several towns in
White and Cleburne counties, Ark.
tell Of a tornado that swept through
that section Tuesday night, causing
death and destruction. The major
portion of the country through which
the storm plowed its way is remote
from railroad, telegraph or telephone
lines. A special correspondent Of the
Gazette wired from Searcy, Ark, that
he had gone over a portion of the
track Of the storm and that trees were
twisted from their trunks and houses
demolished. Nine persons are known
20 be dead, three are dying and thir-
teen others were badly injured. The
towns Of Little Red, Albion, Bradford,

from thus far.
The dead are: James Leggett, Jo-
seph Leggett, Thomas King, his wife
and three children, and a young lady
school teacher who was boarding at
Kings. These all resided at Little
Bed.
Fears for Town of Hiram.
Bradford, which is on the Iron Noun
tain road, was the first point heard
from. Several houses were blown
down there and one man badly injur-
ed. The tornado came from the west
and spent its force by the time it
reached Bradford. 1t is feared the
little town of Hiram, with a popula-
tion of $50. has been wiped off the
map. It is near Heber and in the
storms track. Nothing has been thus
far heard from it. 1t probably will
be several days before the names of
all who were killed by the tornado are
known.
A special to the Gazette from Heber
says: In the tornado which swept
across this section A. c. Williams. liv-
Ing ten miles south of Heber, was
killed. He was seventy years old and
lived with his wife on top of one of
the mountains south of this town. His
house was caught up by the wind and
thrown down the mountain side. His
wife was fatally injured. A white man
named Houston, living near Williams,
had both arms broken. At Pangburn
six residences were blown down and
. flock OF sheep and number of cat
tle, hogs and horses killed.
Destruction by the Storm.
Buck Medley of Searcy was in the
Ktofm and was caught under a small
tree which was blown down. He was
not seriously hurt.
A large church near Pengburn was
blown half a mile.

The tornado swept everything in a

At Pangburn Mrs. Hoverton and
one child were fatally hurt. Two of
the Pollards, near Albion, were severe
~ injured. A number of others were
hurt, but not seriously.

Steamer Compelled to Change Her
Course by Honduran Gunboat.
New Orleans, April 9-Captain
Warnecke, of the Norwegian steamer
David, which has arrived here from
Ceiba, Spanish Honduras, reports an
exciting experience with the Honduras
gunboat Tatumbla.
The David was off the north coast
of Honduras, when the Tatumbla hove
In sight and commanded the merchant
man to put into Utilla against the Or
ders of the captain on the David.
The Tatumbla was In command of
Colonel Vilarde, who put half dozen
Honduras sailers on board the David
and compelled her to go to Utilla, de-
spite protests of her captain.
The David anchored off Utilla, a
small island off the northeast coast of
Honduras, for the night and left the
following day without being boarded
by any troops. Captain Warnecke pro-
ceeded to Porto Cortez harbor and in
formed Admiral Coghlan of what had
happened. Three United States war
vessels went at once in search of the
Tatumbla, but from last accounts they
had not located the troublesome craft.
The day the David sailed from Ceiba
everything was quiet there, with the
revolutionists still in control.

Dreyfus Case Subject of Discussion by
French Press

Paris, April 9-The Dreyfus affair
continues fiercely to agitate the news
papers, but there is no indication that
the government will further pursue
the matter owing to the chambers ad-
verse vote The war Office gave out a
denial of the published report that War
Minister Andre had actually begun the
formation of an investigating COM
mittee. This denial is taken to
strengthen the view that the govern
ment is not ready to proceed, but the
Enforcement newspapers assert
that plans are on foot for the re-
Mobilization of Dreyfus to the point
of his restoration to the army.
