STOCK MARKET FEATURES
DESPITE BLIZZARDS WESTERN ROADS DO INCREASED BUSINESS

London Stock Exchange DuiI---paris
 BOurse Hopeful Over Improved SItua-
 tiOn In Russia--wan Street Gossip.
 All exchanges in New York city were closed yesterday in commemoration of Lincoln's birthday.
 Despite the great trouble experienced by the western railroads the past week owing to snow, ice and blizzard, mer. chandise and general tonnage was in excess of last year, but the grain move ment fell short 20.3 per cent.
 Chicago dispatches last evening say as follows: In the face of low temper atures and heavy snow eastern roads moved larger quantity of tonnage last week than at any time in a month past.
 Western roads hauled less provisions from packing centers to Chicago last week, yet traffic was the largest for the same period in over four years
 Important developments in the flour traffic are. that the Burlington and Lake Shore have close traffic alliance for handling flour from the northwest to the Atlantic seaboard.
 Although there are several million bushels of corn in transit from the west to the east and to the gulf ports, some estimates placing them at between B. 100000 and 5,000,000 bushels, the move ment of corn was not up to expecta- tions, considering the low rates.
 A London dispatch last evening says: Money was in fair demand in the market to-day, owig to considerable re- payments to the Bank of England being due during the week. Discounts were quiet and a shade easier. Trading on the stock exchange was dull and some- what irregular. Business centered in first class securities, which were firm. Consols were fairly steady. Americans started dull on the poor New York bank statement and became inactive in the absence of Wall street support, but they hardened to a trifle above parity and closed quiet. Foreigners generally were quiet. Imperial Japan csc government sixes of 1904 were quot ed at 103. Russians were firm.
 A Paris dispatch last night says: Trading on the bourse to-day. was quiet, but afirst tone prevailed, the market being favorably impressed by the inn proved situation in the interior of Rus. sia and also by the renewal of the ru- mors in regard to peace in the far east. Russian imperial As were quoted at 90.90 and Russian bonds of 1905 at 505.
 Some activity is expected in the market to-day with an upward tenden- cy in certain stocks. The lucky guess CT has yet a chance to rake in some shekels despite the generally high level reached b ymany stocks. .

Miss Gertrude Augarde as "Samanthy Greene, an aggravatin' brat" was remarkably true to nature in her representation of the uncouth, un- kempt, retiring country girl, and her makeups and costumes were ridiculous ly funny and her capers convulsed the large audience.

 The thought that strikes one most forcibly in listening to the sparkling, witty dialogue of "The Duke of Killi- crankie'' is how like the rich old com ediesi of Sheridan and Goldsmith "Kil- licrankie" has, not such intricacy of plot as The Rivals or She Stoops to Conquer" Its pretty romance of live is of our own time and it is, told more di- rectly and simply. But like them, it is rich in it's spontaneous wit, sustained in it's refined humor and universally Fappealing in it's touches of pathos. Skilled by years of training in the en- tire range Of classic comedy, naturally, John Drew is thoroughly at home as the eccentric, cultured. witty, interlec- tual nobleman of this new-old comedy "The Duke, of Killicrankie.''

WILL CHANGE ARMY
British Liberals Plan, Expect
ing Return to Power

Special Foreign Service
LONDON, April IA scheme for
reorganization of the army is being
devised by a section of the front OPP
position bench. The activity is due
to the supposed approach of a liberal
administration.
There is no doubt that the opposition
leaders have given much attention to
military affairs, and various processes
have been reviewed for replacing Mr..
Arnold-Forster's scheme by one OF
their own. 1t is felt to be the obvious
duty of those who have criticised the
failure of the war Office and the Sails
bury-Balfour regimes to be ready with
a sheaf of reform when they come into
office.
rious plans, a decision has been ar
Cardwell scheme. The two main prin-
ciples of this scheme, it will be re-
membered, are short service and link
ed battalions. But more remains, and
the proposal is to draw up plan
which will meet modern requirements
as we'll as deal with the prejudiceS
against the Broderick-Forster reforms.
Of the occupants of the front oppo-
sition bench, Sir Henry is the only one
possessing front rank knowledge of the
war office. He is the only eX-secretary
of state for war left to the liberal
party, and there is strong desire to
secure his cooperation In the scheme
for the return of Cardwellism. 1t may
be assumed, therefore, that he has been
consulted by his colleagues with re-
gard to army reform under a liberal
administration.

DR.. Thomas, the medical officer of

that two cases of smallpox had been
reported in the borough, one of the pa

the day before his disease was detect

where his bed was paid for by the
synagogue authorities. The epiden1jc
or measles at Nottingham has compeIl-
ed the education committee to close
nearly thirty of the schools, and unless
there are signs of a speedy abatement
OF the disease all the schools in the
town will be closed. The medical off,
Ger has knowledge of more than 2Oe
cases, most Of which are in the poorer
quarters, where the conditions of life
lend themselves to the spread of an

BANQUETS LORD AND LADY DUDLEY
Lord Lieutenant of ireland Speaks of the Distress of
the People

on Land. But the struggle was always
a severe one, and the result was that
the standard of living was necessarily
very low-lower, indeed, than with any
similar body of householders in west
ern Europe. When a bad year came
these people had no reserve to fall
back upon and were driven at once
into position of helplessness and de-
pendence.
1t was obvious that such q state Of
things could not be allowed to go on,
and no government worthy of the
name could shirk its responsibility in
this matter. Temporary relief was not
sufficient; something more drastic was
required if the condition of the west
ern peasant was to be permanently
benefited. The suggestion that whole
sale emigration was the only cure need
not be considered seriously. Fishing
and cottage industries were valuable as
auxiliaries, but he did not believe that
they could ever be made the central
means of subsistence for any more
than a mere handful of the population.
The great majority of the people, in
his opinion, must always live upon the
land and by the land. Their whole
tendency and leanings were towards
agricultural life. The land to these
people was a fetish almost incompre-
hens1ble to many, and they would
never, in his opinion, succeed in d.
Vorcing population animated by
these feelings from the object of their
affection. Any remedy, therefore,
which was to be permanent and eff
fective must have agriculture as its
base, and this involved inevitably a re-
distribution of the existing holdings.
In other words, they must seek to cure
the chronic poverty of the west by en-
iarging the holdings in the congested
district to an extent which would re-
turn a profit in good years over and
above the ordinary necessities of ex-
istence.
They must obtain the space neces>
sary for that operation by migrating
numbers of families from the existing
holdings in these districts to lands
which were at present untenanted He
was quite aware that this plan in
volved considerable difficulties. not
only Of legislative and administra-
tive kind, but concerned also the
idtosyncrasies of the people them
selves. Tact, patience and determine
ton were great weapons with which to
overcome difficulties In Ireland, and if
these qualities were consistently ap-
piled to a solution of this most impor-
tant problem, he saw no reason why in
few years those responsible for the
government of Ireland should not be
able to effect a very marked improve
ment. Success would depend largely
on the extent to which all parties con-
cerned in the question were prepared
to cooperate.

INSIST ON GAELIC
Strange Results of Obstruction
in Dublin
Special Foreign Service

Speclal Foreign Service
DUBLIN, April 1.-Since the Dublin
general postoffice refused to accept q
large number of parcels addressed in
the Irish language, the Gaelic league
has retaliated with a vigorous policy
of obstruction. On Wednesday this
week during the last hour before the
departure OF the mails for England
about 300 persons presented parcels
addressed in Irish. The parcels were
accepted as fast as they could be
handled by special translator, but as
a receipt had to be given in every case
there was great delay and confusion.
The general public suffered severely
and parcels from the commercial
houses in the city were completely
blocked. Thursday night the postoffice
refused to accept the Gaelic parcels
at the parcel office, and directed that
they could only be accepted if posted as
letters. This did not improve mat
tiers, as every one of the 200 or 800
persons went through the form of ten
dering a parcel. When these were de-
clined the propagandists fiocked to
the stamp counter demanding penny
stamps IN the Irish tongue, and some
times rendering sovereigns in pay
ment. Meanwhile the ordinary bust
ness of both offices was seriously re-
tarded. The Gaelic league declares
that the fight will go on until the au-
thorities come to sense of their
duty" In the interest of public bust
ness some sort of modus vivendi is
highly desirable. Previous skirmishes
of the same kind at country postoffices
usually have ended in the uncondi-
tional surrender OF the authorities.

CONSTANTINOPLE April 1.-The
scheme for the reform of the finances
of the three vilayets which the Turks

to the AuStro- Russian proposals has
now no longer any chance of being
adopted. The idea was to increase the
customs duties and earmark the money

price OF their consent, among other
things, thorough reform of the GUS
decentralization in order to put an
end to the abuses which now prevail.
Sooner than consent to this condition

REVIEWS CATHOLIC
STATUS IN FRANCE
Archbishop of AIgiers Urges
Devotion to Social

Special Foreign Service

Special Foreign Service
PARIS, April 1.-The archbishop of
Aigiers, Mgr. Curry, publishes in the
local Semaine Religieuse a pastoral
letter on the present situation of the
Catholic church in France. From this
letter il appears that the archbishop.
however concerned he may be as to the
future of religion in this country, is
chiefly preoccupied by his righteous
wrath at these militant and anti-re-
publican Catholics who, having d.
verted upon the church the anger of
the powers that be, are the persons
largely responsible for the present
crisis. This crisis, he said, is by no
means accidental. Certain recent Incl
dents may have brought 1t to a head,
but what, in Archbishop Oury's opin-
ion. is certain is that the blind and
fratricidal struggle" in the French do
ceSes themselves, Of which the real
faithful had been the victims, is one
OF the great causes of the present state
or things. Let us discuss he says,
textually, those who heedlessly adopt
religious standard in order to rush
into sorry political strife, for the poll
tlcian is the born enemy of religion.
Those IF us who are prudent and self
controlled are made responsible for the
outrageous and virulent prose of GER

without talent, or authority other than
that which in their vanity they AFRO
gate to themselves. Among these
spokesman of Catholicism there are
some violent people who are as harsh
to their brothers in arms as to their
enemies"
Mgr. Curry urges Catholics to 'disarm
suspicion and hatred by their pacific
devotion to social order" He says ex-
nrQCSlV that n hr-ira hc oh
the wish to see you (the French Cath
olics) gentle, courageous and humble"
statement which may be regarded as
faithful expression of the personal
thought and policy of the pope, and
as such has its significance. The
archbishop gives a test case of what
he means by Christian charity in the
following striking passage: Far be
II from us to accuse those who have
hitherto been intrusted with the
deStinies of our country of propagat-
ing such errors as materiaiism, one of
the statesman who had the greatest
influence upon democracy clarifying
not so long ago in being a spiritualist
philosopher"
1t is pertinent to quote in this con-
nection the following passage from a
recent article by Mons. de Lanessau
In Steele: The Catholic church." he
says, will shortly be separated from
the state, as will the other churches.
BY the loss of its official character, its
prepondeTant situation, and the pres
tige accruing to it from its public re-
iauons with the government, it will
cease to be what it had always been
namely, redoubtable and dreaded
power. 1t Will henceforth be merely
the representative organism of a re-
spected religion, which, however, con-
nned within the limits of its public
worship, will have only such moral
authority as 1t will secure by its con-
duct Upon this conduct Will depend
not merely its prestige as a church,
put also its very existence as a re-
ligion.''

DUBLIN, April 1.-The president Of
the Royal College of Physicians in Ire
land entertained a large company at
dinner in the principal hall of the col
Iege this week. The guests included
the lord lieutenant and the lord chan
cellor. The president, DR.. w. j. Sayly,
proposed the toast, His Excellency the
Lord Lieutenant" He referred to the
personal popularity in Ireland of Lord
and Lady Dudley, and said that the
people of Ireland were deeply grateful
to his eXcellency for having twice at
least entertained royalty amongst
them. He was perfectly certain that
the king went from Ireland with a
greater appreciation Of his Irish sub
jects, and he also was perfectly GER
tain that they in Ireland, from know
ing more of the king, had become
more devoted to him.
The lord lieutenant in acknowledge
ing the toast, said that he did not pro-
pose to dwell on the personal aspects
of it. 1t would be impossible for him
at the present time to speak of his po-
Sition in Ireland without referring to
matters which had been made the sub
ject Ofmuch discussion within the last
few weeks. No doubt the time would
comeSSeither sooner or later, when he
would have an opportunity of speak
ing dt"1enSCn on these matters. He as
sured them that he looked forward to
that time with no trepidation whatso-
everpsbut that time was not yet. He
would pass, therefore, to the question
of the prosperity of Ireland. SO far as
the material prosperity of the country
generally was concerned, he believed
that they had no great cause for I'M
easiness. During the past year crops
had been generally plentiful and the
harvests good. Unfortunately, how
eVers those parts of the west of Ire
land where the potato crops, had large
ly failed were far from being in a sat
1Sfactory condition.
Although they might feel assured
that in the present instance, as in the
past, relief in some form or another
would be found for these districts, yet
with every recurrence of experiences
of this kind the truth was brought
home more forcibly to their minds that
the conditions of life in certain areas
of Ireland were radically wrong, and
that unless some great change took
place the population of these areas
would be always liable to hunger and
want. They had in many districts a
great number of people living on
farms Of very small extent and COM
posed principally of bad land. In good
years, aided by certain subsidiary
sources, of income, like fishing and
weaving and the proceeds of migratory
labor, 1T was just possible for the west
ern peasant to maintain himself and
his family and to pay the fixed charges

she could to improve and succor the

think that a home in which she had

in East London, offered help more
especially to the poor of that district.
1t was incorporated with Mrs. Charles
worth's home at Snaresbrook in 1867,
and in 1869 was transferred to Wood
ford. In 1900 the institution was re-
moved to Ravensbury house, Mitcham,
Surrey, where it is at the present time.
The report for the year 1904 stated
that 6SS patients were admitted into
the home-197 men, ~ boys, 334 wom-
en- and so girls. The number admitted
in 1903 was S04, and in 1902 539. The
home had worked in connection with
the charity organization society and
other charitable institutions.
