of this town early to-day. Both had been shot,
and there was a revolver beside the bodies.

have taken their lives. 1t is stated that the

sons he told her TO prepare Immediately to sail
for America, leaving their children at Blackpool.
They started on Tuesday, seemingly reconciled.

neighbors to follow them. Shots were heard
and the bodies were discovered. Each was shot
through the mouth the indications being that it
was by mutual agreement, the woman having
carefully removed her hat and placed it beside
her husbands the grass. A double ticket fos

in Shaw's pocket.

DUNR4TEN ON IRELAND.
Alarming Conditions To Be Rene
died ONLY By Home Rule Measures.

London. Nav 3-The Earl Of Dunraven has
written a pamphlet entitled The Crisis in Ire
landau Account of the Present Condition,
with Suggestions for Reform in which he ex-
haustively reviews the situation. His lordship
says:
Ireland is at crisis in her history Year by
year the country has been sinking deeper ana
deeper into misfortune and has now reached
point at which must be decided whether the
dominant tendencies shall continue TO the in
evitable melancholy end or whether supreme
effort shall be made to lift the country out OF
the national bankruptcy in man power. nteIn-
gence and material prosperity which SO lmme-
diately threatens II.
Lord Dunraven says the Land act made a
good beginning, but that It is not sufficient to
save the country, adding:
AS a matter Of fact in the period Of watching
and internecine political strife in England the
world has overlooked the causes Of the distress
full condition and has seen merely the quarreIs
of political parties
His lordship discusses at length the existing
situation and insists that the British govern
rnent. IL it desires to maintain the Union. must
provtde money for the education OF the people
and give the country a measure of self-govern-
ment which will afford the people an oppor-
tunity 10 appreciate their own good qualities.
He appeals TO the moderates in Ireland to lay
aside their differences and do something for the
salvation of the country. He says that Ireland's
best are continually drifting out, while its worst
are drifting toward lunatic asylums and the
remainder will remain In Ireland only by neces-
sity."
Lord Dunraven says the land question is now
in course of settlement, and that the time is
possibly coming when Nationalist and Union
lists will work together.
Lord Dunraven assails with the utmost Bit
terness the present system Of government in
Ireland as a gross anachronjsm which satisfies
no one. He contends that the Irish not
lazy or devoid of intelligence, and points out
that they do good work and become leaders Of
men in every quarter OF the globe. Their need
at home he says, is that teaching which the
responsibility OF their own affairs alone can
give.
Lord Dunraven says Ireland cannot be Angli-
cized. that she understands her own affairs best
and should manage her own affairs. The
pamphlet concludes:
If the Union is TO be maintained an active.
living democratic progressive policy must be
applied to the causes Of decay.

WIDER CONTROL OF MACEDONIA.
Lord Lansdowne's Diplomatic Victory in the
Near East

London May 3-Confrmation has been obtained
at the Foreign Office here of the statement that
Austria and Russia had acceded TO the demands
of Great Britain Italy and France that the new
Macedonian financial scheme should be controlled
bv all the powers sgnatOry to the Berlin treaty.
This is considered here important diplomatic
victory and a long step toward the solution OF
the threatening Near Eastern question. The
achievement IS due primarily TO Lord Lansdowne,
who has led other Western governments in de-
handing the right to share in the programme,
which would otherwise endanger commercial and
diplomatic interests in the Balkans. The new pro-
gramme will include the extension OF financial and
other reforms the viiayet Of Adrianople as well
as Macedonia thereby embracing practically all
of European Turkey except COnstantinOple.
