URGE BALFOuR TO
HASTEN HOME RULE
Gallivan and Fitzgerald Confer
with BritOn-Foreign Secre-
tary Reiterates His Hope for
an Early Settlement

Washington, May 6.-Immediately
following the reception in the House
of Representatives Saturday to Secre-
tary Balfour and other members of
the British Mission, several leading
Irish-Americans. including Congress
man James A. Gallivan and Ex-Mayor
John F. Fitzgerald Of Boston, had a
brief conference with Mr.. Balfour on
the subject Of Home Rule for Ireland.
1t is understood that Mr.. Balfour
Friday cabled his government express
ing the interest in and hope for an ear
ly settlement Of the Home Rule ques-
ton by Irish-Americans here. and Sat
urday he told his visitors that he hoped
for a reply which, would be satisfac-
tory to those in this country who are
deeply interested in the Irish question
Congressman Gallivan expressed to
Mr.. Balfour regret at the occurrence
at the meeting in Cooper Union Fri
day night and also stated his fears that
what happened there might be repeat
ed in other parts of the country unless
some definite action was taken by the
British government to grant to Ireland
the measure of Home Rule which the
Irish leaders believed to be desirable.
This statement apparently made
deep impression on Mr.. Balfour. who
is said to have reiterated his sympathy
with the views of his auditors.
The British visitors have not. since
they have been in this country. con-
cealed their willingness and hope for
an early settlement of the Irish oues-
ton, and this feeling is said to repre-
sent a preponderance of influential pub
lie sentiment in England. 1t is said.
however, that while in this country the
members Of the British Mission will re-
frain from discussing this issue and
that Mr.. Balfour himself will not make
a public statement in reference to it.

HEAVIEST DAMAGE
ON THREE STEAMERS
Will Cost 100000 Each to Re-
pair German Liners-Most
Seriously Impaired Vessel
Can Be Ready in 20 Days

Washington, May GA formal an
nouncement by the shipping board. issued
Saturday, states that the three big steam
ers Of the Hamburg-American Line, Pres
ident Lincoln, President Grant and the
Pennsylvania, are the most extensively
damaged of all war-bound vessels in
American harbors. So extensive is the
damage on these steamers that 1t Is es-
timated the cost of repairs of each will
approximate s25O,o0o.
This estimate was made by John A.
Donald of this shipping board, who thinks
the most seriously damaged vessel will
be ready in 20 days. The nine vessels in
termed in Hawaiian waters. which are
toned above, are relatively more seriously
damaged. Cylinders Of three large ships
are smashed beyond repair. Furnaces
and boilers of all are burned out.
In addition,to the Portonia and the
Clara Mennig, which have been COM
missioned, repair work is completed on
the Mala of 1855 gross tons, and with
in 10 days the Armenia of 1854 tons.
the Arcadia of 5454 tons and the Mas
sovia of 1902 tons. will be ready for
commission. Passenger accommoda-
tons on most of the ships will be torn
out to make room for cargo.
At least two Of the % German ships
in the Philippines will leave this month
for ports in the United States and will
be followed soon by others. Four ships
will be repaired in the Panama Canal
Zone and four in Porto Rico.
The Austrian ships have all been
surveyed and all found to be damaged
in similar manner to the German ships
but repairs are not undertaken on them
because this country is not formally at
war with Austria.
Plans for standardizing steel ship
construction to increase the output
probably will be announced by the
Shipping Board within few days.
Maj. Gen. Goethals, who is directing
the ship building department of the
board, is about to approve standard
lied specimens.

Rome, Via Paris, May 6).-Pope
Benedict, in a letter to Cardinal Cas-
parri, the papal secretary Of state, re-
fers to a letter which he wrote in 1915,
in which he said: 'Prepare the minds
of everyone for the reception of an in
vitation for peace, which we propose
to address to the belligerents on the
first anniversary Of the outbreak OF
the war and adds:
I'VE indicated then to the peoples
a unique method of composing their
differences with honor and on a basis
Of durable international peace. We
asked them in the name of God and
humanity to abandon their projects

voice which called for the cessation of

flowing hatred between the belliger

RICH BOSTON CARGO
IS REPORTED SUNK
japanese Ship Torpedoed After
Passing Good Hope-Under-
writer's Doubt Rumor-Goods
Worth $1,5OO,0O0 from East

Boston, Mass, May 6.-Shipping in
terests were startled yesterday by a
rumor, which, however. lacks confirma-
ton. that the Japanese steamship XII
rishimazan Maru, which left Calcutta
Feb Is for Boston with a cargo valued
at nearly s1.500,000. had been sunk by
a German submarine. The steamer,
which is under charter to Houlder,
Weir & Boyd of New York, is loaded
with burlaps. tea. hides. shellac and 9TH
er valuable merchandise for local .mer-
chants.
1t was learned that the steamer met
with some damage before reaching Cape
Town, where she called for coal. This
damage. which, it is assumed. was caus-
ed by storms encountered after leav-
ing India. was being repaired at Cape
Town. and advices received here said
they would be completed so that the
steamer might leave for Boston about
April q. The report stated that the
steamer was sunk on the way from
Cape Town to Boston.
The steamer was formerly the Fukoku
Maru, and is one Of the larger type of
Japanese freighters.
Local underwriters are inclined to doubt
the story of the destruction of the vessel
and believe the report of the damage she
received before reaching Cape Town may
have been distorted. They point to sew
eral recent instances where vessels have
been reported sunk by submarines which
proved TO be without foundation. One of
these was the British steamer Miriam.
bound from New York to Liverpool with
valuable cargo, including a lot of me, i.
chandise shipped by Boston exporters.
The Miriam was reported to have been
sunk. Three days later she arrived at
her destination without having seen a u
boat.
