THE EXODUS FROM IRELAND
ried Over Irish Emigration
to America.

Washington, Oct. 31.-According to
a report received from United States
Consul Stephens; in Plymouth, the
British are greatly worried over the
continued emigration of the Irish
peasantry to America.
Never before, writes Mr.. Stephens,
have the Irish people manifested such
determination to leave their country.
At present they are leaving at the rate
of 1000 a week, and no argument ad-
vanced to keep them on their island
has the slightest effect
Mr.. Stephens says that more than
% 900 have left Ireland for America
during the present year, and those al
ready in the United States send home
money as rapidly as possible to defray
the expenses of their friends and rela-
tives to follow them.

THE LOAN ALMOST PAID UP
With Tuesdays Payment of Half q
Million the Worlds Fair Will
owe the Government SI91,S5O.

st. Louis. Oct. 31.-When the regular
fortnightly payment by the World s
fair on the government loan of 81, $780,
GEO is made to the treasury depart
by the exposition management Tues
day morning it will be the amount
nominated in the bond" $500, 900 and
no more.
After the last payment, on October
Is, as there was but S691, $50 remain
ing due to the government from the
exposition, it was generally thought
that the fair management would de-
eide to wipe the debt out entirely
with the next payment.
Secretary Stevens stated, however,
that this would not be the case, but
that only the amount required by Law
would be paid. This will leave a bal
ance of $191.S5O due on the next pay
ment, November Is.

The CAMPAIGN IN THE EAST
New York Will Witness a Battle
Royal all This Week.
Both of the Great Parties VIII Make
Supreme Effort to Carry the
Empire State.

New York, Oct. 31.-Full steam will
be put on by the republicans for a
final campaign of New York state dur
ing the closing week, 500 mass meet
ings a night having been planned.
Secretary Taft, Secretary Shaw and
probably Secretary Hay will storm the
upstate cities early in the week, and
will direct their last fire at the demo-
cratic Notifications in Greater New
York, while National Chairman Cortel-
you is 10 hurry back from Chicago to
at least lend his presence, if not to
speak, at Durland's riding academy in
this city Friday night. Monday night
the Republican Business Mems and
Sound Money leagues were booked for
a rally for Roosevelt at Carnegie hall,
with Secretary Taft as the star orator.
Friday night Elihu Root will make his
final appeal at Durland's, which will
probably end the republican oratory in
this city. Saturday, Sunday and Mon
day will be devoted to arranging to
bring out Tuesdays vote.
With Judge Parker on the stump
nearly every night during the week,
the wind-up of the democratic cam
paign promises to be exciting. In this
state hundreds of meetings will be
held every night. Tammany district
leaders have been directed to pull the
lever out to the last notch. The Par
ker meeting at Madison Square garden
Monday night was designed to repre-
sent the supreme effort of the dem
ocrats, Judge Parker making his first
appearance on the stump, aside from
his addresses to visiting delegations at
ROSemOunt.
1t is expected to give that impetus
to the rising tide which democrats are
now confident is with them and which
they expect to see grow to surprising
proportions before the end of the week
as the result of Judge Parker's appear
ance on the stump, together with
great number of other meetings, at
which many famous democrats are to
speak, including eX-President Cleve-
land.
The democratic managers are conf
dent that Parker will carry New York,
and are predicting $50 votes for him
in the electoral college.

SOMETHING NEW IN RUSSIA
DemOnstratiVe Students Released
and the Police Who Arrested
Them Punished.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 31.-Students here
have made demonstration in front of
Kazan cathedral. The police arrested
the students, many of whom were girls.
Gen. Foulon, project of the city, re-
leased the girls and punished the po-
lice.
He then went to the students and
persuaded them to dispense without
causing further disturbance. The stu
dents grievance was the suicide of an
other student while in prison.
The public is amazed at the reforms
thus manifest in police methods. This,
taken in connection with the promise
of free press, has given rise to a hope
that there may be other sweeping
changes.

Vention, to reassemble with view to
pushing forward the work already be-
gun at The Hague.
while at the present moment no
armistice between the parties now
cOntending is in sight, the fact of an
existing war is no reason why the ma
lions should relax the efforts they have
so successfully made hitherto toward
the adoption of rules of conduct which
may make more remote the chances
of future wars between them.
Ask Other States In.
Among the broader general ques-
lions affecting the right and justice
OF the relation of sovereign states,
which were at The Hague relegated to
a future conference, were: The rights
and duties of neutrals; the inviolabil-
ity of private property in naval war
fare, and the bombardment of ports,
towns and villages by a naval force.
The other matters mentioned in the
final act take the form of suggestions
for consideration by interested gov
ernments.
''Other matters closely affecting the
rights of neutrals are: The distinction
to be made between absolute and con-
ditional contraband OF war and the
inviolability of the official and private
correspondence of neutrals.
"As for the duties of neutrals to-
ward the belligerent, the field is scarce
ly less broad. One aspect deserves
mention, from the prominence it has
acquired during recent times, namely,
he treatment due to refugee bellig-
erent ships in neutral ports.
ut may also be desirable to con-
slider and adopt a procedure by which
states nonsignatory to the original
acts of The Hague conferences may
become adhering parties

not have caught fire simultaneously.
