LAW AT A STANDSTnL.
Cattle Driving Spreading Through
ireland.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
DUBLIN, November 3O-A lawless
winter seems to be in store for II Gland
The machinery of the law appears to be
at practical standstill, and the police
chiefs think that things will be worse
before they are better.
Cattle driving has spread throughout
the country. and the mischief done is so
great that priests are preaching against
lawlessness and urging the people not
to partake in ranch clearing. Arrests
of the offenders are futile as 1t is i'm
possible to secure verdict. The au-
thorities brought several patches of
cattle drivers to Dublin, hoping to Sc
cure convictions by a metropolitan
jury, but though the cases were proved
and no defense was offered the juries
always disagreed and the defendants
were released on their recognizances.
Hitherto the ranch clearing campaign
has induced about score of graZiers to
hand has inflicted heavy expenses on
counties concerned in the shape of
extra police taxes, while the conlpensa-
ton to be paid to the owners OF cattle
will run into the thousands of pounds.
The country gentry are fast leaving.
Landlords who sell their estsates are
almost invariably going to England and
the continent and this throws many
laborers and others out of employment.
Fine mansions and houses in the coun-
try parts have been given over to small
farmers who can only occupy room or
two. This has already been made plain
to many who have purchased farms
outright. and they have abandoned TIL
lage as Improbable and have not
stocked their farms for want Of capital.
Industrial progress has been set back
as capitalists are afraid to invest in
Ireland.

NORFOLK, Va, November 3O.-Follow-
ing several months of active preparation
the fiotilla of six torpedo boat destroyers
which is to precede the battleship squad
ron to the Pacific coast is tonight prac-
tically in complete readiness for the start
on its long voyage which begins Mon
day morning. The task of fitting out the
vessels composing the flotilla has been
the most important undertaking at this
yard since the departure several years
ago of the first torpedo boat fotilla,
which made the long and successful voy-
age to the Philippines, where the YES
sells are still stationed
First Mosquito Fleet.
While the trip Of the first 1otilla across
the Atlantic and subsequently through the
Indian and Pacific Oceans established the
seaworthiness of the class of boats COM
posing the little feet about to start for
the Pacific, these vessels are in no way
designed for carrying provisions, ETC., and
the naval auxiliary Arethdsa has been
fitted out here and assigned as convoy
and supply ship for the trip. The Are
thusa carries prov sions and supplies for
a much longer period than it Is estimated
Will be required for the run to the Pa
citc, and besides carries in her hold pro-
PETERS, rudders, and supply of machin-
cry OF al. kinds that might be needed in
a breakdown.
Will Go Slowly.
Besides the fact that the fotilia is to
make a greater number of stops en- route
than the battleship squadron soon to fol-
low, the vessels are so small that the
speeding of them makes living most I'M
comfortable aboard. and for this reason
they will make moderately slow time, SO
as to insure every possible comfort to the
officers and men.
Lieut.. Commander Hutchinson 1. Cone.

BR1ToNs BUILD RUSSIAN SHIPS
Plans for Big Battleships Go to
Vickers and Maxim,

ST. PETERSBURG, November 3o.-Be-
cause of criticism of the decision of the
admiralty to purchase the plans for a
Russian Dreadnought from Vickers' Sens
and Maxim, the English shipbuild ers,
the government has dec ded to institute
competition to be open to Russian and
foreign firms for designs for new battle
ships. The vessels must be built In st.
Petersburg, of Russian materials, by Aas-
sian workmen, and they must be fitted
with Russian engines. The successful
competitor will supervise the construc-
ton, and he will be penalized for def
cienc.es in speed. etc.
AS a matter Of fact however, the COM
petition is limited to VickerS' Sons and
Maxim, as the plans must be presented
within thirty days. The decision of the
government to go abroad for plans is a
sore blow to the Russian des gners of
warships. The technical committee Of the
navy has worked out half dozen designs,
but not one of them was satisfactory.

SURPRISED BRITISH,

Bestowal Of Order on Florence
Nightingale Causes Comment.
Special Dispatch to The Star =
LONDON, November 3O-Nothing the
king and the present government have
done has surprised the country more or
given more general satisfaction than the
bestowal of the Order of Merit upon
Florence Nightingale. This is regarded
as the highest honor within the gift of
the sovereign. It's grant marks the first
official recognition of any sort ever made
by the British government to a woman
outside of royalty.
1t will be regarded in some quarters per-
haps as concession to woman suffrage
agitation. At all events 1t is graceful
one and one of which the country unani-
mously approves. 1t has necessitated a
change in the constitution of the order
as originally framed, and it would not
be surprising If the innovation proves
the forerunner of other measures for re-
warding the services of women to the
nation.
