A GREAT SUCCESS.
Over. S30o,ooo,oo0 Worth Of Irish Land
Changed Owners In Four Years.

London. April 3-rhe prolonged depres-
made it impossible for the government to
raise further large loans required to full
III the intentions of the Irish land pur-
chase act of 1903, resulted in the APP
pointment of committee of the treasury
which has just reported in favor of sew
eral financial expedicnts to tide over the
difficulty.
According to William O'Brien, Nation
aiist member of Parliament in a double
column letter in the Daily Telegraph, this
morning, these eXpedents will only COM
plcate and prolong the deadlock and
practically suspend the land purchase for
q decade. He argues that the whole diff
ficulty has arisen through the extraordi-
nary and unexpected success of the land
act Instead of purchases amounting to
s25,0o0,00o yearly, which was the outside
limit anticipated by the former secretary
for Ireland, Mr. Wundham, when he in
PRODUCED the bill. there have been trans
fers amounting to s300,000,6c0 within four
years and it is certain, he says, that an
other 100000 in sales could be effected
next year if advances were forthcoming
This would virtually abolish the agra
rian problem in Ireland. This, he adds, is
England's first successful legislative
achievement in Ireland and is having
most beneficient effects upon her prop
erty.
Mr.. O'Brien suggests the calling CT a
conference representative of all who are
interested in the problem Of landlords
and tenants in order that a cOmpromise
may be found to solve the difficulty. i'm
stead Of permitting treasury officials to
stifie good work.

GENERALS FIGHT A DUEL.
Smirnoff Is Probably Mortally
Wounded by Fock.

st. Petersburg, March 1S.-General
Smirnoff was probably fatally wound
ed by General Fock in a duel here
this morning.
The men met at the riding school n
the cheyalier guard regiment and
fought with pistols, standing close to
each other when the shots we're fired.
The duel was caused by memorandum
written by General Smirnoff on the
siege of Port Arthur, in which he
questioned the courage of General
Fock. The latter considered his honor
and reputation involved and challeng-
ed the author of the document.
General Smirnoff was acting com
mandant of Port Arthur fortress dur
Ing the siege and at the time of it's
surrender TO the Japanese. After his
return to Russia he prepared secret
report of his defense of Port Arthur
on which basis Lieutenant General
Stoessel, Lieutenant General Fock and
Major General Reiss were accused Of
cowardice and incapacity, and Gem
eral Fock, according to the indictment,
displayed thorough incapacity and
want of judgment. The outcome of
the trial was the sentencing to death
OF General Stoessel, which finding wag
commuted TO ten years Imprisonment.
while General Fock was ordered to be
reprimanded for disciplinary offense.
General Smirnoff was also on trial be-
fore the courtmartial, charged with
having failed to remove General Fock
from his command, as though he sus.
pected an agreement between Gen
erals Stoessel and Fock TO surrender
the fortress. He was acquitted on this
charge.
The riding school was placed at the
disposal of the combatants by the the
commander of the regiment and the
duel occurred with the full knowledge
and appreciation of the military au-
thorities. 1t was witnessed by several
officers of high rank, and il is even
said women were present.
Shortly before 10 o'clock Generals
Fock and Smirnoff appeared at the
riding school. without saluting they
took the places assigned by their
seconds. The distance between the
two combatants was twenty PAGES and
the duelists were instructed to open
fire at the word of command, and con.
tinue until one or the other was killed.
At General Fock's fourth shot, General
Smirnoff groaned and sank forward.
He had been wounded In the abdomen
above the right hip. He was carried
in litter to the military hospital,
where doctors employed Roentgen
rays to locate the bullet.
This duel will be followed by an.
other between General Fock and Cen
eral Gorbatoffsky. commander of the
western front at Port Arthur, who was
severely criticised by General Fock
during the courtmartial proceedings.
