LONDON, Monday, Nov. I7.-Tbe Irish
rationalists are playing a waiting game
in the autumn session of Parliament. The
usually turbulent little band, who sit be
low the. gangway In the House of. Com
mora, have kept themselves In hand so
far, although they are deeply Interested
in the Insurance bill which Is occupying
all the time of the house.
William O'Brien and bla handful of tot

at their expense, but without succeaa.

About It and what tha. government In
tends to do, he not aroused, the occur
pants of tha national benches. They are
i quietly waiting for 1913 "Ireland' year,"
as they call It.
The nationalist la everybody' friend

where the members gather , to. gossip,
making converts to , the cause of home
rule and keeping wavering liberals from
bolting from a policy to which, some of
their constituents are opposed. -
Wbtla the rank and file of the party
are doing missionary work In the lobby.
the leader. John Redmond, Is busy ex.
plaining heme role to the people of Eng.
land. Tha nationalists say that when the
English array knows what Ireland de
Amanda, opposition to home rule will fade
, away. .
. Redmond's Campaign..
Mr. Redmond's campaign already has
extended from Boot! and In the north to
the extreme south of England.
The colonial secretary. Lewis Harcourt,
accompanied Mr. Redmond In the mid
lands, and at other places ministers and
liberal leaders .have sat with him on the
platform.
Asked a few days ago as to the progress
of !tho campaign, Mr. Redmond -replied;
"Its going fine. I have had a very
friendly reception everywhere. The audl-
i eitces have shewn Uielr Is tar vat la the
m?stlon by listening, to my speech."
Tho lrt. reports of the meetings record
very few interruption of the Irish leader.
Of .course the unionists, and especially
the Ulster unionists, who have declared
i through their leader,, Mr Edward Carson,
that under, no circumstances will they
aicopt homo rule,, have sn explanation
of this.-' They say . that Mr. Redmond's
, friendly reception Is accounted for by the
fact that he preaches a very different
. story In ICnglond from that which he and
his followers urge In America and Ireland
In England, they ray. the nationalist
pulley is painted as a simple self-govern
I iunt with no Idea of separation from
; Kugland, while In America, and Ireland
it is home rule with absolute Independ
ence.
Cabinet Works on Bill.
porters of home rule made any reference
to the details of the proposed bill In their
' speeches. In fact they have not even
I touched on the broad outline of the meas
jure, which' It is- generally known has
, been decided upon. A committee of the
, cabinet is now working on the details.
' In an Interview Mr. Redmond said It
waa altogether too early to talk of the
, til I Itself, adding, "we are at present toe
busy trying to convert the people of
KDgland to the principle of the home
rule." .
To do this the Irish leader must in the
first place convince Englishmen, and par
ticularly toe nonconformist Englishman,
that under home rule there will be no
(Itacrlmlnatlon against the Irish Prot
ectant. In all his speeches, Mr. Richmond
jtia pressed this point.
"If Protectants are not satisfied with
experiences of thereat," he says "they
can have safeguards plaoed in the bill
'itself."
i Mr. Redmond and other Irish members
rho are touring England Impress upon
their audiences that what Ireland de
rnands la not separation, but "the right
of managing Its own local affairs In -a
fcubordlnate place, subject to the su
premacy of the Imperial Parliament a
demand that has never been mado by any
community of white men In the empire
and refused except In the case of Ire
land." Meaning t I.ocaJ Issues,
Local afi aim are taken to mean land,

tions, have made "get acquainted" ex
cursions to. the western states and now
the people of the weat are sending their
governors and most prominent business
men to return the compliment.
The "patronize home industry" spirit of
the west .has been oneof the considera
tions which has urged the western de
velopment organization to send this ex
cursion to the eastern states, seeking the
best points at which the west may buy
Us goods, since It la felt that the opening
of the Panama canal Is apt to make

Leonldas Merrltt Comes Hack with

WASHINGTON. Nov. M.-Kcplylng to
the statement of Uev. I'nd.'flck T.
Catcs. In which ho emphatically denied
all tho charge made by the Merrltt
brothers before the house steel Investigat
ing committee, LoniiuH Mcrrlt lost night
declared he had heard It all before mid
that It wast easily to be noon tliut Mr.
Gates wes more familiar with the ledger
of Mr. nockefeller than with tho Hlble.
for the reaaon that his mind for years
had been fixed on "cash on earth rather
than treasures In heaven."
Preacher Speaka K.mphat Ically.
NEW YORK, Nov. 'M. "1 have to say
that not one syllable of tho words which
leonldiis Merrltt put In my inoutn was
ever uttered by me," doclarcd Rev. Frede
rick T. Gates In a statement Issued late
yesterday replying to tho testimony given
by Merrltt recently before the tSanlay in.
vestlgatlng committee. "With all the
rtnnhasls I can command I wish to deny
these outrageous charges."
Mr. Gutes' statement was isnuod. as
was John D. Rockefeller's, on Thursday
evening, in It the man whose name
figured so largely In tho testimony of the
Merrltt brothers regarding the manner
by which Mr. Rockefeller gained control
of tho Mesaba ore properties and the
railroad to develop them goes much more
Into detail than did Mr. Rockefeller In
his -fcply to the charges. Mr. Gates says
that while the Men ltts were testifying
before the Ftanley committee ho wa on
an Inspection tour of the Western Mary
land railroad und only this morning re
ceived a stenographic report of the Mer
rltt testimony. After registering his Im
patient denial Mr. Gates continues:
"I have further to say that not one of
the wrong acts which Linonldas Merrltt
asys Mr. Rockefeller committed or that
I committed In his behalf were ever dona
by. cither Mr. Rockefeller 017 me, and
that both Mr. Rockefeller and I on oath
denied all the wrong ets specifically and
hi detail eighteen years ago. ?' .
Mot Invited to New York.
TonJdM-Merrltt we -never Iwvtted to
come to New York by Mr. Rockefeller or
his agent?. When Mr. Merrltt cams to
New . York he was not solicited by Mr.
Rockefeller or his agent to remain In
New Y'ork. Neither Mr. Rockefeller nor
any of his agents ever solicited Ieonldas
Merrltt or any one elso to unite In a
consolidation of Iron properties. The con
solidation vi as conceived and effected by
Mr. Merrltt and his friend without
solicitation from Mr. Rockefeller or his
office. Mr. Rockefeller never made a do
mand or call loan of any kind to
leonida Merrltt. or any of the Merrltt
brothers. All tho loans made by Mr.
Rockefeller to the Merrills were time
loans with speclfla dates of maturity
named In the notes, and neither on the
dates of maturity nor any other time
did Mr. Rockefeller ever demand pay
ment for these loans. They were per
mitted to run on Indefinitely. AT no time,
was Leonldas Merrltt told that he must
pay these loans either In twenty-four
hums er on any other dale Not the
slightest pressure was ever put upon
Merrltt or any of his biuthers at any time
to puy their loans. Mr. Rockefeller was
perfectly willing to carry them. . They
know well that tho pressure upon them
came from other creditors of long stand
ingnot Mr. Rockefeller." ,
Merrltts Pleased by Offer.
Mr. Gates says that Mr. Rockefeller ac
cepted an offer from the Merrltts In
February. UH to sell 90,C0 shares or stock
for 1900,000 and gave tbcm an option "to
buy back for ono year at 0 per cent, more
than half the stock." The Merrltts, he
adds, were ho pleased that twu weeks
later they urged Mr. Rockefeller to buy
12,0110 ehres moro at the same price,
which, he did, a fact, Mr. Gates says, to
which the Merrltts "had forjolton to
testify."
"If the Merrills felt," continues Mr.
Gates, "that they had mude a mistake
in selling this stock to Mr. Rockefeller
at 110 why dJd not they go Into the mar
ket, as they could have dono any tliue
during 1S94 and 1395, and recoup thoin
selves by buying the stock for less than
110, or why did they not exercise Uioir
option to buy back from him at 107"
Mr. Galea goes on to say that Mi.
Rockefeller failed to extend the option
of the Merritta from year to year be
cause they never asked him, but Instead
began a "baaelens" suit against him.
"Two of the Merrltts." he says, how
ever, "and likewise several of their moat
Intimate friends In Minnesota and uli-e-where,
to whom Mr. Rockefeller had also
loaned money and were not In position
to pay. were carried by Mr. Rockefeller
year after year until the stock bad come
to be worth par and above, and they ar
now rich men, Mr. Rockefeller renewing
and extending their loans every time they
asked." ,
I races tdianer of fttuca.
Mr. Gates traces Die advance of the
atock, doing so, he says, by records of
Mr. Rockefeller'a purchases, made In the
open market, and ihowlni.' quotations of
l-'a.a in 1W. M lit 1 and par In l0l.
As to the reason for the rse he declaies
that the Htock was low In lvJ-4-J and ,
because the "now great mines were then
mining proapects with millions of money
required" and because the ore was iiut
the.11 adaptol to existing smelters. It be

"Yes, yea,", and her . breath cam fast.
"and he looked llko a domon."
"And you Bhol?"
."Yes, yes; 1 don't know how many

"And you shot him in the back?"
That waa all. A little shuddor ran over
the crowded court room. The witness
resumed the stand. The cross-exojulna-tlon
began anew.
Against Mrs. Paltcnion's version of the
shooting the state Is content with the
tostlmony of , the physicians who per
formed the autopsy and the mute evi

Juat before Mrs. Patterson had been

Jury its version of how Patterson met his
death.
"When your husband told you that lie

I'd kill you,' aul didn't he start to run

ghe did not shrink. "No, sir, no, sir.
That's a lie." she replied. .
Taking up tho purchase of a trunk by
Mrs. Patterson, on which aha had caused
to be Imprinted the initials "G. G.," Mr.
Benson inquired why she had not used
her Initials as a married woman.
"Because I viaa expecting to secure a
divorce and resume my maiden name,"
was the reply, somewhat defiantly,
"What? You did this ut .the time you
were writing endearing letters to your
husband, telling htm to take care of Ms
health, that you were coming to . hint

"Are you aaare that during your ab

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2d The annual

of internal revenue, given out here to
day, makes several startling declarations.
All records were broken In the last fiscal
year In tho production of alcohollo liquors.
Tho smoking of opium Is a widespread
vice In this country and opium "Joints"
exist In every city of considerable size.
The double system of taxing oleomar
garine la corrupting grocers and gross
frauds are being perpetrated on the but
ter buying public. ' .
The Internal receipts last year were
tS23,Sfi.9, tho greatest In the history ot
the government.
Corporations making returns under the
new corporation tax raw numbered 270,'JOS,
with an aggregate capital of lT7,W,l,t)l9.
Tho aggregate net Income to the stock
holders waa Si'MKiiOJita.. -
The year's production of distilled spirits
amounted to 171,4,3 gallons, nearly
7.000,000 gallons mora than In the previous
banner year, 1307. The production of leer,
ale, , etc., " amounted to 43.216. K.U barrels,

The amount of liquor held In bonded

To remedy the oleomargarine situation,
Mr. CabAII suggests that fraud would bo

be required to put their product In small
