SENATE MAY PROBE
RAILWAY LAND GRANTS

Washington, D. c., Feb. 1.-Senator
Tillman has introduced resolution
calling upon the president to inform
the senate whether railroads receiving
land grants containing conditions re-
quiring that such should be sold to
actual settlers only and for amounts
named in the grants, have violated the
terms of the grants and what action
has been taken by the department of
justice in respect to these matters.
The preamble of the resolution re-
ferred to the railroads of the Pacific
coast as the ones indicated, and stated
that the department of justice had in
formation concerning the matter.
Senator Kean objected to the imme-
date consideration of the resolution,
whereupon Tillman said he had dis
covered the things he aimed at in his
resolution while on trip in the West
last summer. He was then told that
these railroads absolutely refused to
comply with the terms of their grants
and would not sell their lands.
Senator Fulton said he was familiar
with the matters referred to in this
resolution and that the road against
which the complaint is aimed is now
a part of the Southern Pacific system.
Tillman said the resolution also re-
lated to the Northern Pacific land
grants.
Fulton continued, saying land grants
made in the '70s were coupled with the
condition that the land should be sold
to actual settlers only at a price not
exceeding $3.50 per acre.
"a great deal of the land" he said,
"is held by the railroad companies and
they refuse to sell it for $3.50 an
acre."
Fulton said he believed in either
having the terms of the grants COM
piled with or in forcing the companies
to return the land to the government.
Senator Hepburn suggested that it
has been customary for the railroads
to require settlers in purchasing land
to purchase the improvements they
themselves had made before the pur-
chase and wanted that requirement
also inquired into.
The consideration of the resolution
was postponed.
Tillman then offered another reso-
luton relating to the same subject and
directing the attorney general to instt
tute such proceedings on behalf Of
the United States as may be neces-
sary to insure a compliance with the
conditions accompanying the land
grants or to restore the lands to the
public domain or report to scongress
why such action had not been or
should not be taken.
Without comment this resolution
was referred TO the committee on ju-
dietary.

WOES OF IRISH LANDLORDS
AIRED IN HOUSE OF LORDS

London, Feb. Heated charges of
cowardice in turning blind eye to
the reign of terrorism" in Ireland in
order to keep the Nationalists in good
temper and assure a continuance of
their support in the commons, were
launched against the government in
the house Of lords yesterday. The
Marquis of Londonderry, who was vice
roy of Ireland in 1869, led in the at
tack, and so infectious were his senti-
ments that even Lord Langford, who
has been representative peer of Ire
land since 1884, broke his silence of
twenty-four years and devoted his
maiden speech to recital of his per-
sonal experience with cattle driving
outside his own gates.
The Marquis of Londonderry de-
clared that the present condition of
Ireland is worse than in the dark days
of the early sos, when murder and out
rage were rampant, and he attributed
the conditions entirely to the coward
ice of the government. The lawbreak-
ers, he asserted, had the audacity to
declare that they had at their back
members of the government, and it
was even reported that the constabu-
larry had been ordered not to come into
actual contact with them.
Conditions DepIored.
Lord Beauchamp, in defending
the government, deplored the cattle
raids, but he declared the country was
no more lawless than during certain
periods of Premier Balfour's admins
tration, and following Gerald Balfour's
precedent when he was chief secre-
tary for Ireland in 1S95-190O. The gov
eminent had no intentions of reviving
the crimes act, as suggested.
Participating in the debate in the
house of commons on the question Of
the unemployed, John Burns, president
Of the local government board and la
Dor leader in the house, denounced the
unscientific distribution of religious,
philanthrOpic and private charity,
which he declared was unusually mis-
applied and diverted to the wrong per-
sons. He told one, of his own expert
ences recently when, after an official
function, he joined 1000 of the unem-
ployed at the Victoria embankment
II was in my court Dress" he said,
but pulled my hat over my eyes and
looked miserable, and I got my bowl
of soup and bunch of bread"
Mr.. Burns admitted that pauperism
in London is on the increase and said
that it would continue to grow as long
as indiscriminate charity prevailed.

FACTS FROM FAIR PLAY.
Sunbeam Band Helped the Orphans.
School to Open on the goth.

Fair Play, Oct. 12.--Special: The
latest current event of the day is the
cotton picking given by Miss Anna
Marett to the members of her Sum
beam class last Thursday. Promptly
at 7.30 o'clock the children gathered
at Miss Anua's home with baskets
and sacks and bright, happy faces,
all eager to do something to make
glad the hearts Of the children OF
Connie Maxwell Orphanage-thisb be-
ing the day decided on as "Work
Day for the Orphans" A bale was
easily picked and carried to the gin
by dinner, and 1t was a hungry lit
tie crowd who gathered around the
long table In the back yard at Miss
Annals home, which had been heavily
laden with rich dainties prepared by
kind and loving hands. The after
noon was also spent in picking cot
ton, after which Mrs. w. l.. Dobbs
treated the children to delicious can
dies. The proceeds of the days work
amounted to 81, and this, together
with the Sabbath school collection,
amounted to $12, which will be for
warded promptly to Superintendent
Jamison. Miss Anna is the enthusi-
astic leader OF this band, and with
Mrs. j. E. Dobbs as assistant leader
we feel sure much and lasting good
will be accomplished. The Sunbeams

the interest has steadily increased.
The following officers were elected:
Miss Anna Marett, leader; Mrs. j. e.
Dobbs, assistant leader; TheIma

secretary; Pauline Marett, assistant
secretary; Toy Dowis, organist; Kate

DIPLOMAT
 IN THE WORLD
From the Bohemian.

From the Bohemian.
 In the kingdom of vanity fair, and vanity that is not fair. but would be, there is the interpreter, the man who makes free translations of foibles, con ceits. caprices. He deals with human nature in the raw and is an individual without illusions.
 He humbly calls his profession that of photographer; his associates know that he is more than a simple maker of pie tures They will tell you he is an artist, a psychologist, a diplomat, strategist, a person of magnetism and affability; indeed, a combination of those virtues which make him ''al1 things to all men"
 T want a picture like that" says a stout dame, holding up the likeness of symmetrical member of her sex, who stands erect with bunch of roses in her hand.
 Now the photographer realizes that he is face to face with a stiff proposition, one of many in the days work. He takes a dozen proofs and sends them for approval. One is returned with an ink mark drawn perpendicularly along the waist line. If the instructions are not written out, as they sometimes arae, the presence of the line means take that much off, make me thinner by the waist. Allowing for the fact that the one eye of the camera makes a broader, f1atter surface than is seen by the two human eyes. the photographer proceeds to scrape or doctor" the negative, and what is the result? The woman gets picture
