New York, Oct. 25.-Budding hopes
for home rule for Ireland are held out
by T. p. O'Connes. member of parlia-
ment for Liverpool, and one of John
Redmohd's chief lieutenants, who ar
rived here on the Ifusitania to spend
a short time in this country to aid

"As the situation now stands, every
thing hinges on the action to be talk

get is thrown out by the house of lords
1t means general election, which will
necessitate large expenditures by our
party. The election will help Ireland,
because it is bound to be followed by
fair balancing of the parties that will
make the Irish vote an important fac
tor in parliament.
Just what the house of lords will
do with the budget is problematical.
Personally, l have always been under
the impression that the lords would

EBERHART is HONOR GUEST.
Governor Speaks at Northwestern Ag.
riculturaI Society Fair.

Crookston, Mimi, Oct. Ex-Governor
Eberhart was the guest of honor at the
first annual fair of the Northwestern
Minnesota Agricultural society, and
he proved an attraction which brought
10000 people to this city.

corted him to the fair grounds where
he delivered an address which was en-
Enthusiastically received.
Among the other speakers were:
George WEIGH, commissioner of immi.
grafton; j. ]. Furlong, vice president
of the state fair association, and Sec.
rotary Cosgrove.
The evctt proved to be one Of the
most enthusiastic demonstrations of

is likely to do so, and if he does it is
expected he will stand an excellent
chance of being elected. So far he
has been a supporter of Thomas Green
of Coshocton, o., but his friends say
he should go after the Office himself.
White is young man who has
made an enviable record as labor
leader. He has the confidence of the
coal miners OF the state to a remark
able degree and when he resigned the
presidency of district No 13 to go to
the vice presidential chair of the ma
tional organization there were many
tears shed by strong men, who did not
wish to see him go. AT that time he
was given a royal sendoff and present
ed with a handsome parlor suit, the
best that money could buy.

Mckinley Interests Trying to Secure

Mckinley Interests Trying to Secure
pcs Moines Street Car Lines.
Will Congressman William Mci<in-
ley of Illinois secure the Des Moines
street car lines and Colfax interurban?
That is the question and it all hinges
upon the action of the city council
and people, who have asked for seven
tickets for quarter, which Mckinley
has refused to give.
Mckinley and the N. w. Harris bond
house Of Chicago have gotten together.
Harris has the bonds and part of the
stock of the present company, founded
by the late J. S. Polk. Mckinley offers
to spend $l,500000 in rehabilitating
the line, adding new cars and a new
power house and relaying track, pro-
vided he is given 25-year franchise.
But there are many conditions and
the conferences with the city council
are still going on, with no prospect of
an immediate settlement The labor
leaders on the council, backed by the
trades and labor assembly, are stand
ing out for seven tickets for quar-
ter. This Mckinley refuses to give

enmity of the labor unions.
On the other hand. if they do not Sc
cure better street car service and
this is the only offer made-they arc
likely to be defeated by the progress
sive element, which wants to see the
city built up and improved.
Mckinley owns many city and inter.
urban lines in Illinois and is backed
by Montreal capitalists. He has been
comforting with the citizens and coun'
cilmen and promises to give the city
not only six tickets for quarter, but
! per cent of the gross receipts if he
is given a franchise.
The indications are that after a
large amount of dickering the deal
will be put through and the new fran,

signed and returned to Iowa. Some
said he resigned because he was par
ticularly successful in settling strikes
and troubles and won the jealousy of
Lewis and that he could not approve
of the policy of Lewis in many par
ticulars. At all events, he returned to
Iowa and was promptly elected presi-
dent in place of w. w. White.
Then came stormy meeting of the
coal miners at Centerville, and it is
said that Secretary Harry Baker OF
district No. 10 made charges against
White, claiming he had used unfair
means to secure his election to the
presidency after returning from In
dianapolis.
This caused more trouble and at a
meeting of the Surfee local, broke into
fame of speeches, and many of the
miners demanded that White an
