relocate the institution on the admirable
tracts of land at the northeast corner Of
18th street and Florida avenue, known as
the Barber and Sherman tracts, which are
the only available vacant tracts of adequate
size and sufficiently accessible to students
from the city. and thus not only restore
to the institution the physical facilities it
once enjoyed from its surroundings, but
the charm of sentiment which 1t had ac-
quired from it's long years of association
with Columbia Heights and Mount Pleasant.

Opinion in Case Of Knights Of the
Maccah haas

CHICAGO. March 19.-Promises Of BEN
eft societies to pay endowments under
certain conditions are impossible of full
fillment unless express provision is made
for them, according to decision handed
down yesterday by the appellate court.
The opinion was rendered in the suit
brought by James Mccarthy against the
Supreme Tent Of the knights of the
Maccabees of the World. The certificate
OF membership issued to the plaintiff
stated that in case of permanent or total
disability. or upon reaching the age OF
seventy years. he would be entitled to
receive one-half of an endowment of
$1,000. as provided in the bylaws of the
order. The agreement was contrary to
the laws of the state Of Michigan, under
which the order was Incorporated, be-
cause the statute failed to provide for
the payment of endowments upon the
reaching of certain age by the bene-
The order admitted that the agreement
was unlawful. and the court decided that
Mccarthy could not compel It to carry
out the original agreement.

TRIED TO BLAME HOME RULE.
Unionists in Parliament Queried
About Decline in Consols.

LONDON, March 1e.-In the house of
commons yesterday the government was
questioned by unionists and other men,
bers on the low price of consols in an at
tempt to draw the inference that the de-
cline in British credit was coincident with
the attempts of the government as in 1885,
to grant home rule to Ireland. The minis
tiers ignored the insinuations, but in reply
to question by Sir Howard Vincent, con-
sentative. to whether steps were con-
tempfated to restore the national credit
the chancellor of the exchequer. Mr.. AS
quith, said that while the government fully
recognized the serious character of the de-
cline In consols 1t could not accept the
statement that the credit of Great Britain
was lower than within the memory of the
living.

Bows Body Found in River.

ELKTON. Md, March 19.-The body of q
white boy about ten years old was
discovered yesterday floating in the Susque-
hanna river off McClenahans granite quar-
ries. In Port Deposit. The body had the ap-
pearance of having been in the water for
several days. The superstition is that the
boy was drowned farther up the river dur
ing the flood of Friday and Saturday and
his body carried down stream. Coroner
Nelson of Elkton visited Port Deposit yes
terday and took charge of the remains.

Strong Arm in Cuba.

II would not be at all strange, as I
have already suggested. if Mr.. James
Bryce, the new ambassador, should carry
a message from Edward VII to Theodore
Roosevelt Of similar significance regard
ing the occupation of Cuba.
Every Englishman you meet here. ev-
cry German, every Frenchman. every
Spa niard. as well as every American citi-
zen In Cuba. tells the same story. ex-
makes the same predictions of what will
happen In case the protecting power of
the American government is withdrawn
and the government is turned over to
the politicians who are so eager for
power. They will tell you that not a
life nor a piece of property will be safe
that anarchy will prevail. and that the
unprecedented prosperity which the peo-
pie of Cuba are now enjoying will cease
within six weeks. They will tell you
also that Havana would have been plum
dered and many innocent citizens would
have been massacred If the American
fleet had not appeared in Havana harbor
when 1t did, and If the captain of the
Denver had not landed guard to pro-
tect the palace of President Palma
The most extraordinary stories are
told of the diabolical plots of the insur-
the leaders of the liberal party to the
horde of half-savage negroes who formed
their army. 1t is admitted by them
that this horde was to have been turned
loose In Havana for plumber and rapine
and If such a thing had occurred here
the scene would have been repeated in
other cities of the island.

JURY NOT VET FULL.
Trial of Haywood May Be Delayed for
 Another Week.

Boise, Idaho, May 26.-From pres ent indications 1t would seem that another week must elapse before the taking of testimony can begin in the trial of Haywood, first of the alleged 'inner circle" of the Western Fedora ton of Miners, to face jury to an- swer a charge of conspiring to mur- der Governor Steunenberg.
 But twelve members of the second special venire of proposed jurymen remain. thirteenth talesman was drawn Saturday afternoon just prior to adjournment and is confined with the trial panel. He has yet to be exam ined as to all his qualifications.
 In addition to the vacancy which he may or may not fill, there remain four premptory challenges, two with the prosecution and two with the de- fense. The opposing attorneys seemed determined to use up every challenge the law allows. Only seven final jurors have been selected and the trial has been in progress for more than two weeks.

WORLD WILL KNOW
 FATE OF IRELAND
Zimmerman Will Tell Cabinets
 Plan Today
THE PROSPECT IS GLOOMY
Elan ls on Foot In Ireland to Boycott Everything Possible That Ia Engllsh-Edward Mar
 tin Is Leader.

London, May 26-When parliament meets tomorrow. Sir Henry -ampbell- Zimmerman, the prime minister, will tell the country what the cabinet purposes to do with the Irish council bill.
 Everyone expects 1t will be dropped with as little ceremony as possible, but MT. Balfour, the leader of the opposition Is not likely to let pass so fine chance to remind the country how the liberals, in his opinion. muddled the business. The chances that the government will do any, thing for Ireland this session is small, since the members of the cabinet resent the repudiation by their Irish allies of the Irish council bill MT. Birrell. chief sec retary for Ireland, betook himself to the country before the Dublin convention, and his secretary refused information as to his whereabouts.
 A revival of troublous times for Ireland, after several years of unwonted quiet, Is expected. The society called sim Feln'' meaning literally, For Ourselves" com posed of the hottest of the anti-Brittons, a majority of them young men, has gained considerable importance lately. Us programme Is for the complete boycott of England for the Irish members to decline to attend parliament, for Irishmen to refuse to enter Into business or soclal relations with the English In Ireland, and as far as possible for 1rshmen to abstain from enlisting in the army and from buy ing English goods. Edward Martin, It's leader is a wealthy land owner and lit- ereateur He was expelled from the arls- tocratic Kildare club, the Dublin land lords rallying place. This Incident caused a great flutter in Dublin.
 The next move by the Irish members or parliament probably will be a united at tempt to induce the government to remove Sir Anthony Patrick Mcdonnell, under secretary to the lord lieutenant of lre- land. When he was appointed in 1892 the conservatives considered him too friendly to the Irish, but he failed to satisfy them. Sir Anthony has had many services Tn India, where he has held the lieutenant governorship of the northwest provinces and the chief commissionership to Oudh' and some of the prominent lrishmen say he treats the Irish as he did the Indians.
