 NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Rear Admiral Chasles D. Sigsbee. retired, and com mander of the battleship Maine when she was blown up in Havana harbor, spoke today, on the Influence of the Panama canal in the future naval pol icy at the first of a series of table talks before the Press club. The canal he said would cut five thousand miles from the passage of American ships from coast to coast, but would serve the same purpose to other nations with which the United States might be at war. Hence the need of a navy that could crush anything that stood in it's way.
 "A navy stronger than ours or a coalition of two navies, would prevent us from having a free hand in the canal" ee~.,

 The annual meeting of the Irish landlords convention was held few days since in Dublin, Lord Clon- brock, the president, occupied the chair, and there was a representa- tive attendance of members, those present including the O'Conor Don, Colonel Sir W. Hutchinson Poe, Bt.. Lord Ashdown Lord Cloncurry, Lord Cranmore and Browne. and Lord InChiquin.
 In opening the proceedings, the chairman said the annual report showed in what respects the land act of 1909 had been a failure for it was matter of notoriety that the act was failure. If they looked at the figures they would find that in the four years prior to the pass ing of the act of 1909 the yearly average applications for sale was over 26,000, whereas in the four years since the passing Of the act the yearly average applications amounted to only 4,361. One thing l that gave rise to that difficulty was | the raising of the tenants annuity Another suggestion made was that all payments should be made in cash. That, unfortunately, was not accept | ed, but it was only fair to say that in the present bill half payment was | to be made in cash, which was a | decided improvement on the act of | 1909 The main points of objection | to the present bill were the finance | clauses, the increase of compulsory
 powers and the withholding of the 1 bonus in case of compulsory pur- chase in pursuance of a final offer | made.
 A resolution was unanimously
 adopted authorizing the executive committee to favorably consider the i question of conference with the
 representatives of tenants, with a
 view to the passing of an Irish land act in the next session of parliament
 and thus facilitate the completion of
 land purchase in Ireland. Other res
 olutions describing as unnecessary | the proposed extension of compul- | sory powers of purchase to both
 tenanted and untenanted land, and
 rrotesting against the financial clauses of last years land bill. es- pecially the clause relating to the lpayment of bonus. were also adopted.

 This principle being accepted, the precise number of seats to be allOtt- | ed becomes matter for arrange ment, but it is suggested for pur- 1 poses of discussion that if the num- | Der of members in the Irish house ! of commons remains at 164, as pro | l should be allotted to the minority,

 Tt cannot be said that the system Of democratic representation forbids
 the recognition of minorities or in 1 sists on any minimum of votes as
 necessary to return a member In | the imperial parliament today each l Irish member represents a much 1 smaller number of votes than his 1 British fellow, and thus it is that i Ireland returns 103 instead of only ! 66 members to which she is entitled 1 on a numerical basis.

 for that part of Ulster in which the
 rrotestants form a majority to seek
 advantage for itself by separating
 from the other counties, where they
 are few and scattered. It must be remembered that it is practically from Ulster that the whole repre-

 so that if these were withdrawn the
 minority through the remainder of Ireland would have no voice."
