HOME RULE QUESTION S0UARELY IN COMMONS
Redmond Will Force the Hand of the Government Before the People.

London. March 3O.-Urgent whips from officials of all parties brought a great gathering into the house of com mons for the debate on home rule for Ireland. In moving the resolution which denounced the present system of government in Ireland which he wound up with the declaration. In the opinion of this house d solution of the problem can only be attained by giv- ing the Irish people legislative and executive control of all purely Irish affairs. John Redmond, the national leader. put the home rule issue in an uncompromising fashion. Redmond de- clared that there was an overwhelm~ ing majority present in the house al- ways. He profcssed belief that the concession of home rule was only the solution of the Irish problem. He said that every member of the present gov ernment at one time or another had given pledges to the same effect. He now proposed to put them on record and force the hand of the liberal party and the government at the next cleo tiOns and so make sure that there would be no repetition of the gratui- lbDS lleuStS lldut DN SD many lltil- bers al the last election not to intro duce home rule during the life of the present parliament.
 The only argument remaining against home rule. Redmond contin ued. was the argument of fear. Tt is said" he declared. that Ireland is disloyal. So was Canada in 1S37. So was General Botha until the Transyaal was given self government
 Redmond in conclusion asked the house to give Ireland what had been given the Frenchmen of Quebec and the Dutchmen of the Transvaal. and thus close the blackest chapter in the history of the empire.
 Earl Percy in behalf of the unionistS moved an amendment declaring that the house was unalterabiy opposed to the creation of an Irish parliament with a responsible executive. Chief Secretary for Ireland Birrell came out squarely in support of home rule and declared that there was not man in the house of commons but knew that sooner or later there would be a very substantial modification Of the rela- tions between Great Britain and Ire land.

EMPEROR WILLIAM
 ALWAYS LOVED HILL

Washington. March 90. With a view to bringing to a close the gossip connected with the reported disap- proval at Berlin of the appointment of Dr. David Jayne Hill as ambassador, and terminating the incident. Baron Von Sternberg. the German ambassa- dor called at the White House tonight by appointment, to see the president and Secretary Root, and Assistant Secretary Bacon were also present.
 At the conclusion of the conference. the following statement was made:
 Tn addition to the communication already made public from the foreign office, the German ambassador also conveyed to the American government the assurance of the emperor that there never has been any change of attitude toward pr. Hill, and cordial willingness to welcome him to Berlin. Apparently some remarks in a casual conversation were distorted by gossip. and exaggerated by rumor so as to give a totally erroneous impression to the whole matter

The EIeCtrOCutiOn of the Murderer of
 Grace Brown
The Young Man Made Confession of His Guilt Though Ii is at Least for the Present Withheld From the World.

Auburn. x. Y, March Colchester Gillette, the faithless lover and mur- derer of Grace Brown, lived only to see the beginning of the day. He was appraised last night of the determina- tion of Governor Hughes not to in terfere, and was told to prepare for death in the morning at sunrise. He received the news with the same stOicism he had displayed throughout his Imprisonment and trial, and de- clared his readiness to die.
 There were the usual scenes about the death chamber in the murlly half light. when the officers and those permitted by law to be present at the execution. had assem bled. Without loss of time and in silence. Gillette. who entered without a tremor was strapped to the chair and at a signal, the switch turned on the deadly cur rent There was a single contact and the current Was turned off. after d little more than d minute Gillette was already dead. though the official time of his death was fixed at four minutes later. at 6:1S.
 That he made a confession Of his guilt is without doubt. but il will probably not he made public.

BRYAN PICKS
 LA TOILETTE
As the Proper Candidate
 of the Republicans
Taft, He Regards as Help less Without the PreSi- dents Support.

Kansas City March 30.-Democrats from all parts of Missouri, to the mum Der of 1000, attended a banquet at Convention Hall in this city tonight. under the auspices of the Young Mems Democratic Club of Missouri at which Bryan and Judson Harmon were the guests of honor and the principal speakers. The affair was probably the most elaborate political feast ever at tempted in the state. All candidates for state offices were present. The meeting was essentially d Bryan af- fair, spontaneous enthusiasm marking every mention of his candidacy for the presidency. The reception accorded Harmon was no less cordial and sug- gestions promising him high honors from the party were enthusiastically received.
 Bryans opening statement, that we have met to begin the campaign of 1908, to present those principles and policies which ought to appeal to re- publicans as well as traditional demo- crats.'' was the keynote of his speech and showed the important significance he and his followers attached to the meeting tonight The feature of Bry- ans speech was his approval of Sena- tor LaF'ollette as the republican can didate for president. He said: If the president had picked out LaFollette, a real reformer; if the republican party had rallied to LaFollette's support, it could have compelled the confidence of reform republicans. LaFOllette has a record as a reformer. He has fought corporate domination in his own state for a decade"
 The speaker said that without the support of the administration. Taft would scarcely have d state in the con- vention. and with the presidents sup port he was having an uphill fight Bryan said that Taft may be the best man the president could find among his cabinet officers. but Taft's super iority over his colleagues was due, not to his positive views. but to the fact that none of the rest has any reform tendencies whatever.
 Harmon was greeted with tremen- dous applause when he arose to speak.

HE WAS AN ASSOCIATE
 IF NOT AN ANARCHIST
That Much Has Been Learned About SilVerstein, the Bomb Thrower

New York, March 30.-The efforts of the police to connect Selig Silver stein. the Union Square bomb throw CT with groups of anarchists, have been successful But thus far. they have been unable to prove that his action was prompted in any way by these associates.
 These developments occurred today after the arrest of Alexander Berk- man. the anarchist leader and com panion of Emma Goldman. who served twelve years in prison for shooting Henry C. Prick the Pittsburg capit- alist.
 Silverstein held a membership in the Anarchists Federation Union. of which Berkman is an officer and had a card signed by Berkman, but the at tempt to show that Berkman knew Silverstcin or that he and his friends in any direct way melted the bomb throwing, are for the time. futile. The magistrate paroled Berkman on his own recognizance, the latter promis- ing to appear whenever wanted.
 After admitting that he had signed me lheinDeTSlllp CdTu. lOunu m SllNeF- stein's possession. Berkman was talk en to the hospital to confront Silver stein. but there was nothing in the meeting to indicate that the two had ever met before
 In court. before Magistrate Droege, Berkman made d brief statement. Selig Siverstcin. the bomb thrower, though said to be a sufferer from or ganic disease of the heart. is likely to survive the terrible injuries he suf- fered in the explosion. Curiously enough. il was policeman. one of the men Silverstein sought to kill. who is responsible for the fact that Silver stein is still alive. This man, immedi- atelv after the explosion, applied d tOurniquet to the stumps of Silver stein's mangled arm, thus preventing his bleeding to death. If Silverstein recoverS he will be placed on trial for murder in the first degree. for killing Ignatz Hildebrand. who. it now ap- pears, was an innocent bystander at tracted to Union Square only by cu- riOSitN.

ATTACK IN THE HOUSE
 ON FORESTRY BUREAU
A Californian Makes Serious Charge Against
 Chief Forester PinChOt
The Discussion Ends by Cutting Off the Bureaus Ap prOpratOn for Business Outside of It's Legitimate and Prescribed Duties.

Washington. March Exchanges of a serious nature against Clifford Pin chot, chief of the forestry bureau. were made in the house today by MT. Smith of California. and Mr. Mondell of Wyoming, during the consideration of the agricultural appropriation bill. MT. smith accused him of entering into secret understanding with the city of Los Angeles. with a view tO se- curing to the city. valuable water rights in owens River valley. as against the interest of private parties having prior claims. MT. Mondell de- nounced him for. as he charged, ille- gally paying the expenses of forest of ficials in attending conventions in the west, in which the government had no part. and also of spending government money to boost his bureau, in the newspapers.
 PinchOt was defended by Messrs. Pollard of Nebraska and Scott of Kan sas. NIT. Smith denounced the forest ry service for attempting to acquire the owens River valley California. If" he said. q should state to the house the ultimate purpose, the house would be shocked
 While the debate was going on. MT. Pollard went to the telephone and had talk with MT. PinchOt. When he came back he declared that PinchOt said that the entire California delega- ton including Mir. Smith had gone to the department and requested and almost demanded. that this reserve be created for the purpose of furnishing water supply to Los Angeles, rep

 detailed statement and simply wish

 In a statement prepared by Gillette and made public after his death. he implored young men to lead Christian
 lives. So far as the public is con- cerned Gillette never admitted his crime.
 The crime for which Chester F.. Gillette was sentenced to forfeit his life . in the electric chair in Auburn prison
 today. was the murder of his sweet heart. Grace Brown. near Big Moose in the Adirondacks on July II, 1906. Gil- lette was convicted on circumstantiai evidence after a sensational trial in which the pathetic love letters of Billy Brown. as the girl was familiar

A CHANCE OF ROUTE
 IN THf RACE 10 PARIS
The American Car at Seattle, Await ing Instructions to go Via Vladivo- stok.

Seattle, March 3O.-The American car with George Schuster driver: George Miller, machinist and Capt Hans H. Hanson, arrived this morn ing on board the steamer City of Po- ebla. owing to advices received re- gardinE the condition of the winter trail between Valdez and Nome. Alas ka. that part of the trip will be aban- doned and the party will probably take the first ship from Seattle to Vladi- vostok and go through Siberia via the southern route.
 Hansen will have charge of the par ty on the Siberian triy He recently returned from that country, witre he was located for ten years. He has crossed Siberia both by the northern and southern routes. Hanson stated tonight that the final plans for the re- maindcr of the trip will not be deter mined until advices are received from New York, but he recommended the southern route through Siberia. by the way of VladivOstok. and expects to receive instructions to sail from Se- attle by the next steamer.
 If the southern Siberia route is adopted, the entire trip through Sibe- ria will be made over the convict mil, itary road. If the northern Siberia route is used it will be necessary to cross over 1900 miles of country where there are no roads. If instruc- tions are received to take the north ern Siberian route, the party may be held in this city for an indefinite pe- riod. as the scheme to take the big automobile over the Alaskan route, has been decided to be impossible owing to the spring overflows which are already reported. In this event it will be necessary to take d boat eith- CT for Nome or direct to East Cape.

 Now" he charged. MT. Smith comes here and tries to show that the department is trying to create a monopoly. The policy of the depart ment." Mir. Pinchot declared. was to prevent monOpolies. rather than to create them
 Mir. Smith denied that Mr .PinchOt's statement was true, and Messrs. Kahn Knowland. Needham and Engelbright denied the statement
 That vast tracts of untimbered land had been included in the forest re- serves was charged by Delegate Smith of Arizona. who criticised such action and this was admitted by MT. Scott. But, he said that the forestry bureau had given prompt attention to peti- tions in protest and had released over twelve million acres of lands so included.
 Mir. Smith of California. again got the floor and speaking of the recOm- mendation of President Roosevelt. that water rights should be taxed. he denounced him for it.

RESCUE WORK STOPPED
 IN THE ILL-FATtD MINE
In the Mean Time it is Known That There Are at Least Fifty nine Dead

During the continuance of the order the estimate of the dead must stand at lifty-nine In the meantime the east stope of the mine through which the entrance will be attempted when ready. is being cleared of wreckage and practically reconstructed by a force of men working in half hour shifts. They are protected by a powerful air fan. which not only guarantees them against the effects of the insidious gases, but drives out the gas which fills the DOT
 ton of the mine where the victims of Saturdays explosions are lying dead. It is expected that the mine can be cleared of deadly gas by Thursday. and the work of rescue can be begun. Today the arm of one of the victims was found about twenty feet from the mouth of the east slope entrance, and it is feared that the dismembered and mangled conditions of the bodies when located will be such as to make iden- tification and the securing of a list impossible. Superintendent Clark of the Union Pacific Coal company arriv- ed here tonight from Omaha, and as- stunned charge. He was accompanied by a force of claim adjusters and clerks If competent gas men, bosses and other experts can be secured. mines No. and will be opened on Tuesday, it is announced.
