IRISH PROJECT LAUNCHED.
Chief Secretary Birrell's Bill Ap-
 proved by BaIfour and Dillon.

London, April 1.-Mr Birrell, chief Irish university bill in the commons yesterday. It provides for founding by royal charter two new uniyersi- ties with headquarters in Dublin and Belfast respectively. The Dublin university will be composed of three constituent branches, two of which, Cork and Galway, exist already; the third, New college, is to be founded at Dublin. The existing Queens col lege at Belfast is to constitute the proposed new Northern university, which probably will be called the University of Belfast. 1t is unde- cided yet as to whether 10 call the Dublin seat of learning St Pat rick's university" or University of Ireland"
 The new universities are to be governed by senates to be elected by the colleges. The professors are to be appointed and may be dismissed by the senates, but they will have the right of appeal. The crown is to have the right of making certain nominations to the senates. No re- ligious test is to be applied to pro- fessors, students or graduates, and no public money is to be spent in theological or religious teaching.
 The present annual exchequer grant of $1S2,500. which is divided among the four existing colleges, is to be increased to s400,0O0 and di- vided between the two new universi- ties. Belfast is to be given a build ing fund of 0,000. and Dublin a building fund of $750,000.
 The head of the new Dublin uni versity is to be a Catholic layman. Mir Birrell's scheme does not affect Trinity college, Dublin.
 A. J. Balfour warmly approved the broad lines of the scheme, and John Dillon. on behalf of the Irish party, expressed approval and as- sured the government that 1t will have Catholic support.

SOME FILMS TOO SPORTY.
Horseraces and Cock Fights Mar Re.
 ligious Moving Picture Exhibit.

Westfield, Mass, April 1.-The in- troduction of several films of sport ing character into tue moving stere- opticon exhibition O, Tissot's famous pictures of the Life of Joseph" caused commotion at the First Congregational church Sunday even ing. There was large attendance of church people to witness the pie lures and they were being greatly appreciated and enjoyed. Suddenly a moving picture of horse race flashed on the screen. The film was upside down and at first the people in the audience did not realize what it was. When they grasped the sit uation there was a murmur of dis approval and the horse race came to a speedy finish.
 The worst was yet to come, for, just before the finish of the pictures, a cock fight was depicted. This also came to an abrupt ending when the mistake was realized. How the sporting films became mixed with those of religious nature the pie ture operator could not determine.

POLICE PAY RAISED.
New Haven officers Will Have an
 Extra Quarter Ia Day.

Il
 New Haven, April Livery po- liceman from the captains down, in- cludlng detectives, VIII, on and ar ter July 1, receive 2P cents day more than he is receiving at pres ent under A vote pas$ed by the po- lice commission last night. The vote was taken after an opinion from Corporation Counsel Rogers had been read and which opinion, while 1t is explicit, had to the board mem bers two meanings,
 The opinion was read last nighr and it said that the police commis- sioners had the sole light to fix the pay. This was as was contended. But the report went Pn to say that they could fix the sflaries as they saw fit. but must, however, keep within the appropriation allowed for salaries by the finaHce board. As the board of finance appropriated only enough to mako good It's own increase the commissioners decided that the board of finance, according to MT Rogers's opinion, seemed to be the whole thing.
 The commissionera therefore got their heads together and asked how they could without mixing the mat ter up more, get abound the diff culty. It was finally decided that instead of giving th8 men the half raise now, with back pay to be fig ured, they would on the first of July start everyone with an increase of 25 cents, thus dividing the year and making up the balance. This will about make it even.

MANUAL TRAINING
School Committee Considering
 Putting It in Schools.

In week or two it will be deter mined whether manual training will be instituted in the public schools of Waterbury. Tomorrow the commit tee on this proposition consisting of Superintendent of Schools B, W. Tin ker and Commissioners J. J. McDon- aid and Walter A. Monagan of the board of education will visit the manual training schools in New York city. This will be done on the sug- gestion of the state board of educa- tion which has recommended the es- tablishment of such a school. There are scores of children who cannot learn beyond the second or third grade. Such children gre general sufferers from growth in the nos trils called adenoids. Parents are too tender hearted to have this growth removed, believing that 1t will disappear with the development of the child. But the contrary has always proven to be the fact, and then it is found too late to do any thing for the sufferer.
 At the meeting of the board of education Monday evening mother was present with her daughter. aged IA. She said the girl was only in the third grade and it was her impression that 1t would be folly to keep her longer in school. After looking into the matter the commit tee on school attendance took that view and allowed the girl to leave school.
 Manual training, 1t is said, might be able to reach such children as this girl. If she could not be educated in the ordinary way she might learn sewing or some of the domestic trades.
 There are two manual training schools in New York, one for boys where they are educated to handle tools and one for girls where sewing in every branch and housekeeping are taught. The committee does not expect to be away more than a day or two and will report at the next meeting of the board.

VIEWS OF WALKER.
In Washington the Delay Is Esti-
 mated at Two Weeks.

GU WI "sSn''
 Washington, April 1.-Asked how the state department regarded Elm bezzler w. F. Walkers demand for a write of amparo, high official of the department, who has much to do with extradition matters, said yes terday:
 An amparo proceeding is his last chance. l do not think he can es- cape extradition, but there will be more or less delay. How long the delay will be it is impossible to say, but I think it is more apt 70 be near CT two weeks than two months.
 "A writ of amparo gives the per son demanding it practically the status that prisoner has in this country who sues for writ of habeas corpus. A judicial proceed ing follows and the time that will elapse before it is decided depends upon the state of the courts docket and the haste with which the Mexi- can judge takes the matter up."

DISTRICT ORDERED

Court Holds Commissioners
at Fault in Refusing
81, 100000.

Justice Barnard, in the District Su-
preme Court this morning, issued
writ OF mandamus compelling the Com
missioners TO sign the certificate 'au-
thoriZing the payment by the SecretaT
yof the Treasury to the Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington Railroad Of
the s. 10000 toward the cost Of the new
Union Station.
In advising the railroad company s
officials several weeks ago that ihey
would be compelled 70 refuse the Ger
tihcate until the substation IN South
Washington had been built, and the
superstructure Of the New Jersey ave
rue bridge had been constructed the
Commissioners stated that they decided
thus after consultation with Corporation
Counsel Thomas.
Mr. Thomas. in his decision. informed
the Commissioners that they were not
compelled 10 do as the railroad officials
wished because the latter had not COM
piled fully with the stipulations included
In the act Of Congress relative 10 the
amount Of work which should be done
on the structures before the certificate
authorizing payment was signed.
The Commissioners claim that they
had judicial power in the premises and
lhaI they acted Win discretion, IS DIS
posed OF BY the court as follows:
'~The only question arising is whether
or not the station and the connecting
lines are ready for occupancy. They
are either ready or they are not II
ready, then the Commissioners would
have no right TO withhold the certifi-
cate, for nj. discretion seems TO be vested
In them, but they are simply charged
with doing a ministerial act-signing a
certificate as 10 certain fact. The fact
being established or conceded. the duty
TO sign arises at once"
The court then adopts the argument
Of Attorneys McKenney and FIannery.
that all the work required by the act
has been completed. and that the words
