according to locality, over the appointment
OF DR.. Douglas Hyde, leader OF the Cache
movement, as a member OF the commission
which has been appointed to inquire into
the workings OF Trinity college. Dublin,
and to ascertain how IT can be made avail
able for the Irish people at large and Of
general utility to the nation. Trinity col
lege has a distinguished record as edu-
cational institution. it's roster OF graduates
containing many of the brilliant names OF
Irish history, yet It has never been re.
garded as a national institution. From its
founding to the present day the faculty
OF the college has been a bitterly consistent
foe Of the aspirations Of the Irish people,
representing only the Dublin castle estab-
lishment Dr. Hyde though a graduate
OF Trinity, did not hesitate to denounce
It's intolerance while lecturing IN the United
States last winter. His appointment on the
commission OF inquiry emphasizes the de-
termination OF the liberal government to
shake UP and fumigate the anti-Irish mi
nority. All the anti-Irish organs OF the
press, both in ireland and in England, are
positively incoherent with rage over this
really sensational appointment while Irish
1relanders are hugeing themselves with
delight over the forthcoming discontinue
Of their bitter enemies.
In his letter to the Congo reform COM
mttee King Leopold of Belgium defined
his personal relations to tho Congo State
as follows: "All the responsibilities and
the organization of a government unfet-
tered by other authority have been left
to my care The Congo IL essentially a
personal undertaking There Is no more
legitimate or honorable right than that
OF reaping the fruit OF ones own labor.
The powers accorded their good will to
| the birth OF the new state, but not one
was called upon TO participate in my et-
| forts; hence II follows that none has the
| right of Intervention, which nothing could
justify. The powers were duly notified of
! the choice made by the state as to tie
! regime of neutrality and other limitations.
| No objections were raised at the time.
/ The law OF nations regulates the relations
! between sovereign powers; there IL no spe-
| cal international law for the Congo
! State The Berlin act made certain stipu-
/ lations with respect to the conventional
basin OF the Congo. These regulations APP
ply equally to, other states with holdings
| there, but they In no sense AFFECT the rights
OF possession. The questions OF territorial
sovereignty-that Is, precisely those which
underlie the constitution Of states-were ex-
/ pressly and by common accord omitted
from the program Of the Berlin conference
NV rights in the Congo are lndivisible
they are the product Of personal labor and
| expense You must miss no opportunity
OF proclaiming these rights; they alone can
render possible and legitimate my beduest
Of the Congo to Belgium which has no
\ title but what reverts TO II through my
person II 1 allow them to be contested,
Belgium would be deprived Of any power
to make good such title
German engineers seem less sanguine
than their British associates concerning
the immediate future OF the turbine. In
an address delivered recently before The
Society Of German Engineers by Prof.
Reidler, a respected authority, the latter
said that so far as the power installations,
and especially electrotechnics, were con-
cerned the turbine had won. Q complete

them from the field. A regards land loco
motives also, turbines had shown superior

sumption over the most expensive piston
engines. though their working -Ras still at

On the other hand, the prospect for tur-
bines as marine engines was not good ow-

navy and the commercial marine had been
very cautious in the matter. One thirty
