Special Cable to The Herald.
DUBLIN; Sept. 29.-The death OF
Frederick Peel Eldon Potter, founder
proprietor and editor of the Cork
County Eagle and Munster Advertiser,
which has just been announced, Will
touch a sympathetic chord. in the
breasts of many newspaper readers.
Mr.. Potter was one of the Oldest and
most earnest of Irish journalists, but
was so unobtrusive throughout his half
century's activity that he was not per-
sonally familiar to people outside MS
native county or to more than a limited
section of his own profession. lie
penned, however, the immortal phrase,
The Skibbereen Eagle has its eye on
Russia
Mr.. Potter was the Skibbereen Eagle
lie founded his newspaper in May, 1857,
under the title of the Eagle and County
Cork Advertiser; it was penny paper.
published every Saturday, and was
born of the political troubles attending
the Phoenix organization. Across the
top of the front page was displayed an
eagle descending with message to the
world a .hamboyant leading article
lectured the czar, informing him that
the eagle had it's eye on Russia. Lord
similarly warned, and. amid peals Of
laughter he quoted the article in the
house of commons. Mr.. Potter was not
extinguished by the mirth; he accepted
it good humoredly.
The Eagle, Notwithstanding its
Screaming editorial" was not to be
compared to the Arizona Kicker. Its
news columns were full of sober re-
ports; and Mr.. Potter himself. highly

before his death he published an appeal
for a loan of copy Of his first issue,
in order to have 1t photographed. He
died on Monday night, aged 20.
As to Censorship
At the recent meeting of the Jour-
nallsts' conference in this city Mr..
Alfred Robbins of London moved the
adoption of the following resolution:
THAT IN view of the statement by
the prime minister on June 81 in the
house Of commons Of the governments
intention to introduce, early next year,
a bill for restricting the dissemination
OF news in war time, and of the ex-
planation by the first lord of the ad-
miralty on July 13 In the house of lords,
this annual conference of the Institute
of Journalists, as representing the
staffs Of the newspapers Of the United
Kingdom. fully recognizing The neees-
sity for preventing In time of war the
publication of news which might prove
helpful to the enemy, expresses the
opinion that I'm any measure which may
be passed by parliament provision
should be made (a) that the offenses
proposed to be punished are clearly de-
fined, (b) that the act shall not be put
into opera tion without ample notice to

shall be inflicted upon any contributor
to Or publisher. of a newspaper unless
1t be proved that he wiIfully and know :

nation which the court may hold to
come within the provisions of the
statute, and (d) that any defendant
convicted under the act by a court of
first instance shall have right to ap-
peal to the high court of Justice
1t was carried almost unanimously.
At the last meeting of the Roscommon
board of guardians John McGreevy pro-
posed and Hugh Brennan seconded the
following resolution, which was unan-
imously passed:
On Potato Blight
THAT we the board of guardians of
Roscommon Union, being aware of the
widespread havoc caused by the potato
blight in this district, do hereby warn
the government authorities to take
such steps as are within their power to
cope with the dire distress. want and
misery which inevitably must follow
the dreaded blight in the coming winter
and spring If no preventive action be
taken. That we suggest the following
as some of the best remedies or preVen-
tives against such evil consequences:
First, a total remission of the potato
seed rate the first instalment of which
may be soon levied; secondly, the dis
tribution or apportionment without de-
lay, of the eleven months grazing land
among the small tenant farmers, trades
men and laborerS who are willing to
till it on sound economic principles;
thirdly, that complete facilities should
be afforded at once by the local govern
ment board and the other collateral
boards to put into operation the
laborers Qreland) act, 1906, which now
may be worked by all district councils,
If they are not hampered by vexatious
rules, and redtapism; and, lastly, that
reproductive works could be originated
by which the many unemployed might
earn an honest livelihood instead of
having to seek refuge in the workhouse
(so-called) during the coming winter
and SPRING
Births and Deaths
Two striking facts in relation to life
in ireland present themselves once
again in the registrar generals report
on births, marriages and deaths for last
year.
Ireland Is land where centenarians
flourish; as many as 152 of the recorded
deaths We're those of men and women
over 100, while Glib had attained or
passed the age of 95.
The other fact is that tuberculosis is
the most fatal scourge of the popula-
ton. Last year 1882 persons died of
diseases of that class, which claim more
victims even than "old age" While
this terrible malady has been manifest
ing some decline since 1870 in both
England and Scotland, 1t has been in
creasing in Ireland. The fatal stage is
most ofen reached between 25 and 32
Certain counties are particularly prone

ASKS oUTFALL SEWER BIDS
Board of Public Works Advertises and
Demands 100000 Bond From
Contracfors

The board of public works vest terday
advertised for bids for completing the
unfinished portion of section of the
outfall sewer.
This section is what is known as the
tunnel section, and is the portion of the
work on which Stansbury & Powell,
the former contractors, baked, and
finally abandoned the contract alto
gether.
This section presents some engineer
ing difficulties, as it is in water-bear
Ing land. According to Stansbury e.
Powell 1T cannot be constructed at all
under the present plans and specifica-
t1ons, but other engineers whom the
city has employed to look over the
ground claim that the seceion can be
completed.
The board requires a heavy bond for
the performance of this work. The
bond demanded is 100000, although
only 1875 lineal feet remain to be done.
This bond is considered enormous, in
view of the fact that only $141 ,250 was
required of Stansbury & Powell for the
contract for the entire sewer.
The bond REQUIRED of Stansbury &
Powell was one-fourth of the contract
price. but the bond required of the sue
cessful bidder for the tunnel will bs
even more than the contract price. The
board believes that less than 100000
will finish the outfall sewer.
Bids for the work will be opened No
vember at IL O'Clock.

TO GUST STANDARD OIL.
Directors of Fertilizer Trust ReUOH
against Present Control.

Directors Of the American Agricultural Chemical
Company. the Fertilizer Trust. have instituted a
revolt against the present control Of that COM
pany. dominated by the Standard Oil interests and
try TO wrest the management from the present
officers Proxies for this purpose have been solic-
ited quietly for considerable time and the predic-
ton is made on behalf OF the protesting directors
that they will have sufficient number to effect
their purpose.
For some time there has been open criticism OF
the present management Of the Agricultural Chem
ical Company by the who hope 10 take
control OF IL. They have opposed what they termed
lack OF progressiveness. and urged that dividends
be paid on the common stock. contending that the
earnings justified that II their candidate
for president. understood 10 be Peter r. Bradley
OF Boston, the first vice president. should be
elected. IL is likely that they will take steps 10 put
the common stock a dividend basis in accord
ance with the assertion that 1t really earned at
least Der cent last year.
The proxies sent out by the protesting directors
are solicited in the names of Robert s. Bradley.
president OF the Columbia Trust Company, Of this
city: Cord Meyer and Samuel Carr. Of Boston. Mr..
Bradley was out OF town yesterday, and Mr.. Meyer
declined 70 discuss the movement. There a
report in the financial district. however. that these
proxies had been signed in sufficient numbers to
assure the protesting directors Of victory at the
meeting. The management itself has been soliciting
proxies in the names Of John F. Gibbons. the pres-
dent; Albert French vice president. and Thomas A
Doe. treasurer.
When the Agricultural Chemical Company was
formed, the story went yesterday. the Standard OIL
interests controlled the Liebig Manufacturing Com
panY. and agreed 10 put il into the combination
IL they could assume the management Of the new
company. The main Office of the Agricultural
Chemical Company is IN the Standard Oil building.
No. % Broadway. II Is this Standard Oil man
sgenent which has caused the dissatisfaction, ap-
paTently.
A statement made yesterday said that the report
Tor the year. which ended June 30. 1896, showed
earnings for the stock OF only 4os per cent
but assets sufficient 20 allow 800 share for the
preferred stock and $50 a share for the common
stock. There is outstanding slS,l53000 preferred
stock. and 81 2l5.000 common. The protesting di-
rectors hope 70 force dividend this common
stock When the last report made there vas
some gossip that the real earning capacity was not
