IRISH LAND BILL
PRESENTED TODAY
Proposes Free Grant of Sixty
Million Dollars.
INTENSE INTEREST is SHOWN.
Believed that Adoption of Measure
Would Promote Peace and Content
ment In IreIand-Many Notables At
tend Session of Parliament.

London, March 25.-The Irish secre-
tary, Mr.. Wyndham, introduced the
governments long anticipated Irish
land bill in the house OF commons to-
day.
1t proposes a free grant of $50 ,000-
600 for the purposes of the bill. The
keen interest felt in this new legisla-
ton which, it is hoped, will promote
peace and contentment in Ireland. will
be evidenced by the crowded house.
The peers gallery and the distinguish
ed strangers galleries filled and there
has been no such gathering of mem
bers Of parliament since the opening
of the session. Michael Davitt, the
father of the land league, celebrated
his fifty-seventh birthday by re-enter-
ing the house for the first time since
he ceased to be member, in order
to hear chief secretary for Ireland.
Mr. Wyndham, who was heartily
cheered when he arose to speak, an
nOunced at the outset that the gov
ernment thought cash aid was neces-
sary for the fulfllment of the pro-
posed scheme, but it attached greater
Importance to the credit operation than
to the cash operations He then I'M
folded the scheme which provides for
an advance of money for the pur-
chase of land by the tenants.
The advance will be in the shape of
cash and stock, but in order to en-
able the cash to be raised a new
stock is to be foated.
1t will be called guaranteed "a per
cent stock" and will be unredeemable
for 80 years.
Mr.. Wyndham doubted if $500 ,000,-
600 of the stock would be needed. 1t
will be issued at the rate of $25 000, 900
yearly for the first three years, and
afterwards possibly in larger sums.
In addition to this, the government
proposed free grant of $50 900, 900 to
be raised by additions to the stock,
the interest and sinking fund of which
will be borne by the treasury and the
maximum annual charge of which will
not exceed $1,950,00
The Irish secretary explained that
while the maximum charge on the
English treasury would not exceed
$1,975,00 in a single year, the reduc-
ton In the cost of the administration
of Ireland would amount to $1.250, 900.
The advance tenants through the
provisions of the land bill are limited
to $4,000, in the congested districts,
and $4,000 elsewhere. The bill will
become effective Nov. 1. Mr.. Wynd-
ham said $75O,OO0,O0O could be safely
advanced on Irish land, but he thought
the scheme would not involve $500.
5000.
Mr.. Wyndham finished speaking al
4;1O p. m. Later the Irish land bill
passed its first reading.

FARMER SHOT TO DEATH.
Well Known Planter Killed at Fireslde
bv Neuro

by Negro.
Eatonton, Ca, March 25,-Early last
night while quietly seated in his home
with his family, John T. Griffin. a
planter living about 4 miles south of
this place, was killed by an unknown
negro man, the contents OF both bar
Tels of shotgun having been fired in
to his body through an open window
The first load took effect in the face
and chest of Griffin Springing in
voluntarily from his seat with his
back toward the assassin, the second
load was fired into his back.
He died almost instantly. The wife,
frightened almost out of her wits,
rushed from the house screaming for
help.
The negro caught her and threaten
ed her with violence if she made
noise
Wrenching herself from his grasp
she ran to nearby family of negroes
and secured their assistance in arous-
ing the neighborhood and instituting
a search for the murderer.
So far no clew as to his identity
or whereabouts has been discovered.
An inquest will be held this morn
ing and every effort will be made to
obtain something definite that will
lead to the discovery of the assassin.

Be Asked to Move On.
Chicago, March 25.-The Chronicle
today says:
Jews who migrate to the United
States and come to Chicago to make
their homes will be invited to continue
their journey westward, if the plans
of the Chicago Removal Industrial So
ciety, which was organized last night
succeeds.
Chicago Jews expect the movement
to result in great good. They say
the congested district of the Ghetto
will be relieved and that the Jews will
be urged to seek homes in the coun-
try in the villages and small cities
of the west
The organization is similar to one
In New York. Offices will be estab-
lished in the Ghetto district. Core.
sDondence with manufacturers in the
smaller cities and villages will be con.
Quoted and an attempt will be made
to secure positions for the Jews who
would like to leave Chicago.

Even Doric lodge which has at least

The cleansing process will now be

New Orleans, March 25.-Though
reports from all points south of Helena
are of a rising river, the Mississippi
in front of New Orleans is practically
stationary, the gauge marking today
2O.1 feet. That fact naturally causes
much relief here since it means that
the river will have less difficulty in
carrying off the higher water that is
coming this way

proclamation. In other years of
floods it has not been an altogether
rare occurrence that people living
along the levees have taken into their
own hands the enforcement of the
proclamation by the use of rifles and
threats along that line are being made
now. 1t may be said, however, that
the large majority of steamboats, and
steamship men are obeying the in
structions of the authorities. Good
reports come from the condition of the
