The outlook for Irish legislation at West
minister is distinctly hopeful, and it is hopeful
largely because it is marked with delay. We are
told that no important measure VIII be intro
duced at this session, but that careful prep
arations will be made for a comprehensive bill
for next fall. This. it is added-and perhaps
this is the most significant feature of the situa-
tiOn-is satisfactory To the Irish LEADERS, who
show no disposition TO hurry the government or
TO demand for Home Rule precedence over every
thing else. Thus there is on the one side a
deliberate and presumably generous determine
uOn, and there is on the other degree Of rea-
sOnable PATIENCE conjunction Of dispositions
which should result in great good
1t was the late Mr.. Gladstone who declared
that Ireland blocked the way, and that no i'm
portant legislation for the kingdom or the en-
pire was practicable until Home Rule was
granted That was in great measure true at that
time because the Liberal government was de-
pendent upon Irish votes for its majority. It is
not true now. The government is quite inde-
pendent Of the Irish votes. and both the Liberals
and the Irish members realize that fact 1t
may be that If the Irish held the balance Of
power, as Of old, they would be more exigent I'm
their demands. 1t would be only human nature
if they were. But, since they no longer hold the
balance of power and cannot put pressure upon
the government they wisely reckon conciliation
better than obstruction and patience better than
too ClamOrous zeal.
As a matter Of fact, there is, from the Liberal
governments point Of view, much more need
of legislation for England than for Ireland. In
these last ten years the UniOnist government
has been doing much for ireland on lines which
many Irish leaders appreciate and approve and
which the Liberals will, both through choice
and through necessity, continue 10 pursue. But
in these same years the Unionists have from
the Liberal point Of view. done IN English and
general legislation chiefly things which thew
ought not to have done and have left undone
the things which they ought 10 have done
While, therefore, there is little to do I'm Ireland
save 90 continue and 10 extend the work Of tba
former government, there is in the rest Of the
kingdom, the Liberals believe, urgent need os
a pretty complete legislative revolution. There
Is no question that that is the logical view OF the
situation. and in making and acting upon # the
Liberal government will doubtless have the an
proval and support OF its constituents The
people of the United Kingdom elected that great
Liberal majority not merely nor chiefly 10 give
Ireland an enlarged measure OF self government
but rather TO deal with education labor and
other general domestic matters and It is well
that the Ministry decides to address itself Id
these latter things first. BY waiting patiently

4 HUGE BATTLESHIP.

The proposal of Secretary Bonaparte 10 build
| a battleshp displacing 19400 tons, though a
| little startling at first, seems TO be regarded
with favor at the Capitol. and certainly has
much TO commend IT, An increase in the size Of
warShips in order to enable them to mount
/ heavier batteries than formerly, is now part
Of the policy of practically all the great naval
! powers; but, while the others are planning to
add two or three such vessels to their navies
/ annually for the next two years, il begins to
| look as If the United States might not build
more than one every twelve months. For this
reason. and also because construction promises
10 be somewhat slower here than it is abroad.
there is peculiar prOpriety in adopting a stand
ard which will not look antiquated five or six
years hence.
The largest war vessels of this country. the
Connecticut and four others which ought to
be completed within the next year, have a dis
placement Of 10000 tons. The Michigan and the
South Carolina. whose construction was author
lied fully a year ago, but which will not be
under contract before next summer. will be no
larger. An advance Of nearly $500 tons in
displacement is not. however. without precedent.
TogO's flagship. the Mikasa, displaces 1920
tons and while Japan has decided to build at
least TWO 1S0OO-ton ships, she is not satisfied to
stop at that limit. Admiral Dewey told
House committee the other day that Japan had
determined to have at least one vessel dlSplac-
ing 1880 tons or 4.3OO tons more than the
Mikasa. France purposes to increase the size
of her next six battIeships 3l3j tons, as com
pared with the Patrie, which displaces 1866
tons and Germany is said to have determined
on a jump of 1000 tons, her starting point be-
ing 1900 tons. After all. Secretary BOnaparte
is not especially audacious.
It seems probable that if Congress finally sane
tiOns the project the new battleship will be able
TO carry twelve 12-inch guns since the Dread
nought with a displacement of $1,000 tons
viii be equipped with ten. IN that case it is
not unlikely that three pairs will be mounted
forward and three aft, the arrangement of the
latter practically duplicating the disposition Of
those forward, and being an imitation Of the
plan adopted for the Dreadnoughts forward
guns Such a distribution would give no heay-
Ter bToadside than the DreadnOught or Michigan
and South Carolina can deliver, but a more
powerful fire astern would be feasible than
from any Of these other ships 1t would be
practicable TO train six guns directly aft at one
moment. whereas the Michigan can use only
four in that manner, and the DreadnOught not
more than two Mr.. Bonaparte's projected bat
tleship ought TO prove a terror to any foe in her
rear. To a wonderful degree she would meet the
need on which Admiral Dewey recently laid
stress, Of giving more attention 10 the bow and
stern fire OF war vessel. Both forward and
aft she would possess 30 per cent more gun
power than the Michigan, though her cost is not
expected to exceed that of the other vessel more
than 33 per cent.

our share in the Canadian import trade ex-
actly eoualled Great Brtain's. Each country
furnished 42.6 per cent of the DOminion's TN
ports. Between 1887 and 1897, both countries
remaining on the same tariff footing, the United
States forged rapidly ahead In 1897 our per-
centsge rose TO 53.5 and Great Britains fell to
27.6 The marked concessions in rates after
1897 steadled and even slightly increased Great
Britain's percentage. while they also slightly
checked our ratio of gain. But in 19O4-'05 our
share Of the Canadian import trade rose to 606
the highest point ever reached-while Great
Britain's fell to 24-the lowest ever recorded.

L SUBWAY INSTANCE.

4 wayfarer in Manhattan one evening this
week entered the subway station mt Lenoy
avenue and 116th street to travel downtown.
BY the station clock as also by his watch, it
was just before midnight. a few moments
later a train came along lie asked If it was
an express train. mo more expresses was the
reply "Ninety-siXth street only" He got
aboard, and nine minutes later reached 96th
street where the order was given "AIl out!
Take the next train!" He got out, with about
fifty others, and stood on the pIatform-there
weren't seats for half the people-for n fraction
more than eight minutes Then a Broadway
train came along-Iocal, of course; no more ex-
presses, He got aboard. The train was al
ready filled. When it left 72d street it was
crowded and from that point down to the
Brooklyn Bridge there were dozens Of people
standing in it, The Bridge was reached at
70 :45, or IN Just forty-seyen minutes from 10Th
