MANY IMPORTANT FEATURES
IN THE IRISH LAND BILL
Full Text of the Measure Reveals
Numerous Provisions Not Here.
tofore Known,

London, March 2S.-The text of the
irish land purchase BILL which was
introduced in the house of commons
by the Irish secretary. Mr.. Wynd.
ham, on Wednesday last. was given
out during the day. 1t occupies thirty
nine pages of parliamentary paper
and bristles with technicalities. The
full wording reveals many important
features which were not mentioned
in Mr.. Wyndham's speech when the
bill was introduced All arrears OF
rent due at the time of the purchase
OF land are recoverable by the land
commission, and not the arrears fol
year only, as previously cabled. The
land commissioners, however, are
given power in special cases to remit
part or all Of the arrears.
The commissioners are not permit
ted to purchase estates which are not
mainly agricultural or pastoral. Thus
Killarney Is exempt under this clause
In cases OF untenanted estates pur
chased by the commissioners they ara
empowered to execute the necessary
works of improvement, which tremen.
dously enlarges the scope of the com.
missions expenditure. The commits.
sion is empowered to declare subten.
ants to be tenants of any holding occu.
pied by them, which will vastly benefit
hundreds.
Fishing, shooting and mineral
rights. which are among the most con
trOversial, will be vested in the com.
missioners when an estate is pur
chased and can be disposed of as the
commissioners decide. The commits
siOners are also empowered to deter
mine boundary and other disputes be
tween the proprietors OF holdings un
der the bill
The commission has the first claim
to purchase bankrupt estates and car
resell them to tenants or use portions
of them for the repatriation Of evicted
tenants. The latter point is regarded
as being one of the most vital feature
of the bill.

NOT AS BAD AS PAINTED.
Finnish Commissioner Visits the Fam.
inc Districts.

st. Petersburg, March 2S.-Dr. julius
n. Reuter-, a lecturer Of the University
of Helsingfors. who was detailed by
the Finnish national relief committee
to make a tour of Finland, positively
denies that his party either found or
heard of any parish where there are
5000 destitute persons, as has been
stated.
During the whole trip DR.. Reuter-
was only able to procure one bit of
hunger bread" which was composed
of -four made from grown grain mixed
with bark. and even this had been pre-
served since the early part of the win
ter. before the relief committee was
able to extend it's operations to cot
tages in out of the way places. DR..
Reuter- and his party visited fifty
poor cottages and found in every one
of them plenty Of bread and -four.
DR.. Reuter- adds that. of course,
there would have been untold suffer
ing but for the assistance of the COM
mittee, which was so largely helped by
American funds. The committee now
has branches in every village and par
ish and every case of suffering dis.
covered is carefully attended to. Po-
tatoes and milk are scare, but the com
mittee supplies sufficient bread. peas
and salt fish, while carefully avoiding
making the people more comfortable
than in ordinary years and exacts la
Dor in payment of it's help, whenever
possible. so as to avoid pauperizins
the people
AS to the stories Of deaths from fam
inc DR.. Reuter- adds no such happen
irgs have been reported anywhere.

Coal Operators.

Hazleton. Pa. March 2S.-The ex-
ecutive board of district No. Z, United
Mine Workers of America. has noIi-
fed G. b. Markle & Co. and A. Pardea
& Co.. independent coal operators, that
the miners will insist upon the award

conditions without regard to the ar
bitrament. The proposition was re-
iectel at a meeting of the executive
board.
It is estimated that the various
classes of employees will receive the
following sums: Miners. S25; labor
ers. sl3: drivers and runners, $40;
door boys and helpers, SO; other inside

GREATEST IN THE WORLD.
Admiral Dewey's Opinion Of the Amer
lean Navy.


Newark. N. j., March 2S.-The Even.
ing News prints an interview with Ad-
miral Dewey, credited to its Washing
ton correspondent, in which the adj
miral is quoted as saying
"The United States has the great
est navy in the world. for this reason
every man in the United States
navy is a man of intelligence. He
knows just what to do and the right
time to do it. A warship is an enor.
nous machine shop and every part
of that ponderous creation must be
operated by intelligence. Every unit
cannot be told at the time of action
by officers just what to do and when
to do it. The least man must know
for himself. Orders that are gwen 10
a crew are necessarily general IN
character, but in conflict every stroke
of work must be directed by intelli-
gence. This is what makes the Unit
ed States navy the greatest navy IN
the world.
THE German navy, for instance. is
an entirely different organization IN
its make up of human material
have made a deep study of that navy.
NV belief is that its efficiency in pos
sible action is greatly overestimated'
The men do not begin to compare IN
education and intelligence with the
Americans. Their men have, in my
opinion. been educated so that they
look to the officers and depend upon
them for specific instructions IN tne
least matters. They have not the selt'

EXISTING CONDITIONS IN
THE MORO COUNTRY.
interesting Letter From Captain Per-
shing, Now in Command Of
the Province.

Washington, March 2S. - Captain
John J. Pershing. Fifteenth infantry,
who has been in command in the Moro
country, has written letter under
date of Camp Vickers, Jan. 2S. to q
personal friend in the war department,
in which he gives in detail many in
teresting facts in connection with the
disturbances in Mindanao. Captain
Pershing says that after he was placed
in charge Of Moro affairs by General
Davis because he (Pershing) apparent
ly could get along with them he
worked on the theory that it is neces-
sary to establish mutual confidence
between the Moros and the United
States.
IF we are to govern them without
a lot of trouble" he endeavored to
demonstrate to them that the United
States is their friend, having no de.
sire to carry them off into slavery or
to take anything belonging to them
without paying for it. This. he writes,
is all contrary to what they have been
accustomed to in the past. The Span
iards and the Moros could not get
along together well. The Moros were
very Jealous of their religion and the
Spaniards tried to civilize chem by
seizing and baptizing some of them.
There are atrocities committed on both
sides as result of these differences.
Captain Pershing says that the
Moros do not realize any other kline
of a government than a one-maE
power. He says he had been able To
keep all the promises he has made.
which has enabled him to be more sue
cessful in command of that district.
They regard him as representing the
president of America and are some.
what uneasy as TO what his successor
will do. The question of slavery is
intimately connected with their relig-
ion and is something of vassalage or
serfdom and not slavery as known in
this country He thinks it is sub
ject that should remain untouched
until it Is understood better.
I'VE cannot afford" he says, ito
tear down their established form of
government without giving them some
thing better, and ! fear it will be a
long time before this can be done
The Maciu campaigns have had a
convincing effect as to the impossi
bility of any natives escaping punish
ment when they commit depredations
| Captain Pershing says the Moros have
some admirable traits OF character.
Once friend. they will go 20 th'
limit for you They are industriou'
and have splendid rice fields and othe
agricultural crops. The country i
capable OF great things from an agr
cultural standpoint. The country
somewhat like the Mohawk valley an
the whole district can be compare
to that about Lake George.
