LONDON. Auk. 17. (New York World
Cablegram Speelnl Telegram.) Ireland
bag a period of great trouble and trial Im
mediately nhend, It Is feared. England's
new panacea for Irish ills Is to reduce the
Irish representation in tho Ilrltlsh Pnrlla
mont from 103 members to seventy nnd to
redlstrlct Ireland so as to give a large pro
portion of the Beats to the small una In
Ulster which returns ontl-nntlonallst mem
bers. At tho same time o drastic revision
of the rules of parliamentary procedure Is
contemplated, expressly drafted so as to
ncutrallzo the activities of a majcrlty of tho
dimensions tho Irlfh nationalists are ex
pected to return under the new dispensa
tion. Ireland was guaranteed an Irreducible
minimum of 103 members under the act of
union, but that pledge is to bo violated.
Tho pica is that representation Is to be
based absolutely on the population.
These mcasuies ore tho expression of tho
violent antl-lrlsh feeling prevalent among
the majority of Englishmen, a feeling In
tensified by tho Ir.sh disapproval of the
Eouth African war.
Irish Lenders Will llrslat.
Tho Irish leaders nataurally regard this
policy with indignation and will fight It
Irroconcllably. They had succeeded, aftor
many years, In weaning the people of Ire
land from sympathy with and support of
eccro. movement, convincing them that
Ireland could achlove Its rights by reliance
on parliamentary effort. Now the Irish
presentation In Parliament is to be re
duced to nullity.
This withdrawal of constitutional rights Is
not mado under tho stress of violent agita
tion or dlRturbanco. The criminal statis
tics show that Ireland has the least crime
of any country In the world. Except for a
few offenses of an Inconsiderable charac
ter arising from agrarian troubles In one or
two districts, Iroland would bo practically
without crlnu.
Tho nationalists expect that the new
policy will inevitably provoke a renewal
of tho revolutionary movement.
One Knemy llumlllnteil.
Tho Irish party has triumphantly closed
tho session of Parliament by getting tho
editor and tho publisher of tho Globe, one1
of their bitterest, most virulent assail
ants In th'o English press, subjected to the
humiliation of being brought to tho bar of
tho House of Commons and reprimanded by
the speaker for accusing tho Irish members
of corruption Tho unsuccessful attempt
of tho Globo men to evado withdrawing the
charges, for which they could not allege an
atom of foundation, only Intensified tho In
dignity of their position nnd accentuated
the triumph of tho Irish party.
Tho wholo London press, with tho sole
exception of W. W. Astor's paper, which
was sljcnt, Jotus In declaring that, what
ever may be iiald of tho Irish party polit
ically, nothing bus over happened to war
rant tho slightest imputation of financial
corruption. Tho writer of tho editorial for
which the odltor and publUher suffered was
Lord Mountmorres, a poor Irish peer, whose
father was murdered In ISS0 at tho begin
ning of tho land agitation.

record season for American guests. The
United States minister's Fourth of July re
ception ten years ago numbered J00 guests.
This year Ambassador Choate received
nearly G.000 and they represented only a
small proportion of the Americans travel

So great Is the number of those who
failed to book return passages and now find
no accommodation available that hundreds
aro detained In London and Paris await

whom delay means serious loss are offering
handsome premiums on the steamer rates
for tickets, but without avail, while others
whoso money has run low are confronted
with tho unpleasant prospect of hanging
about London for weeks In straitened cir
cumstances. The block In stenmer accommodations,
which Is far more serious this year than It
was last, Is n warning to the vast number

Gibbons has been advising tho youth of
Ireland, In on address at Wexford, to re
main at homo and employ their best energy
and enterprise In their own land. No man
or woman who can eko out a livelihood
In Ireland Is well advised, ho thinks, to

there. Ireland Is blessed with a delightful
climate, he points out, and great extremes
aro unknown there, whereas In America
these extremes aro a serious drawback
to life.
Everywhere in Ireland, the clergy have

Intemperance. Ho advised tho pretty young
women among his nudlenco to marry only

plicity of public houses all ovor Ireland
pained and surprised him. The cause of

BERLIN, Aug. 17.-Sloo the funeral of
Dowager Empress Frederick this has been
Field Marshal Count von Waldersee's week.
Immediately after the Interment of tho
remains a chorus of criticism of Von Wat
dersee broke forth In the press, owing to
his speech at Hanover, etc. Papers of tho
most different shades are weary of Von
Waldersee's talkativeness and all are
agreed In regarding his allusion to "other
nations whose names paled in China." not
only as being In bad taste, but as magnify
ing the China campaign far beyond Its
actual Importance. It is a curious fact
that many papers are discussing which na
tion Von Walderseo meant ns the one
whoso name paled. They agree that it
could only havo been Great Britain. In
deed, the reference Is regarded as being
so direct as to bo highly Impolitic. Tho
Anglophobo papers, however, rejoice that
Von Wnldersee "expressed himself
frankly " Even these papers advlso him
to speak brlelly or not at nil.
One of the most Interesting Inferences
druwn from Von Waldersee's speoches Is
that ha hopes to become Count von Buc
low's successor as chancellor. This Is
widely believed, but anyone who saw how
bent and weary Von Walderseo looked In
the funeral procession cannot credit the
story.
Ono of tho sharpest criticisms of Von
Waldersoc comes from tho Cologne Volks
Zeltung, a leading centrist organ, which
compares him to Dr. von Mlqucl, the for
mer minister, nnd refers to him as "play
ing tho rolo of a secret gcgcn-kanzlor"
(antl-chanccllor). The paper asks whether
Von nuelow regards It In Germany's In
terest that Von Walderseo should make
BUch speeches, adding:
"If things go on in this manner It would
bo Impossible to maintain Germany's policy
at all. It a zigzag course Is bad enough
In International politics much moro must
many cooks spoil the broth in diplomatic
affairs." Tho article closes sharply as
follows:
"Either tho nation will have to accept
the chancellorship of Von Walderseo or he
must stop talking."
Xnchrtchten fletn Snvnue.
Tho Hamburger Nachrlchten, national
liberal, disposes of Von Walderseo rather
savagely. It says:
"His Hanover speech by no means shows
his fitness for tho chancellorship. It Is
unstatcsmanllko for him to boast of dip
lomatic achievements in China in a form
directly wounding to other nations."
Referring to Von Waldersee's expression,
"other nations paled whllo the German
namo mounted higher," tho Hamburger
Nachrlchten continues:
"Such vainglorious expressions unneces
sarily draw the attention of our rivals to
us. They mobilize them against us, tho
effect of which we must feel very shortly."
It regards tho remarks ns calculated to
fester anti-German foreign feeling, "fresh
suspicions to be aimed at Germany."
Tho national liberal papers criticise the
speech unfavorably. The Muonchcner All
gcmelno Zeltung snys It la tactless and the
National Zeltung refers to Its "vainglori
ous, challenging tone."
Tho conservatives defend Von Waldersee's
utterance, but tho Berliner Tagcblatt
pleads that It was a confidential, Informal
nnd wholly extempore speech.
Tho various krleger verelne (old sol
diers' societies) are planning Von Walder
seo celebrations.
The tariff bill continues to bo discussed In
n lively manuor. Tho most Interesting
event this week In connection with tho
tariff agitation was the declaration of tho
Cfntral association against maximal nnd
minimal duties on cereals and tho agrarian
answer thereto. Tho declaration so en
raged the Kreuz Zeltung that tho paper
thrcntenod that tho agrarians would vote
to abolish tho iron duties which aro most
oppresslvo to agriculture and to then wlpo
out all protection on manufactured goods.
Tho Dcutscho Tages Zeltung, a leading
ncrnrlan organ, applauds tho Kreuz Zei
tung's threat.
The general secretary of the Central
association. Herr Durk, publishes a long
reply reassuring tho association's opposi
tion to the double Kystcm of duties, since
It Is a hindrance to commercial treaties,
which Is a llfo nnd death question for man
ufacturers. Tho ubovo seems to portend a breach bo
twecn tho manufacturers and tho agrarians,
which may havo a great influence on the
tariff law.
Tho Chamber of Commerce has passed a
rrsolutlon against maximal ami minimal
taxes nnd the province of Saxony has
adopted a resolution against any Increase In
duties.

BERLIN, Aug. 17 (New York World
Cablegram Speclat Telegram.) The war
against trailing skirts, previously noted in
the World's speelnl cnblo dispatches, grows
In dimensions. In Switzerland notices aro
posted on tho trees that wearers of trailing
skirts will bo fined. In Ischl, upper Aus
tria, there havo been several Instances of
skirts of unsuspecting ladles being torn
by rabid sanitarians. At Eras, Prussia,
the authorities have put up a notice that
no long skirts are to be admitted within
the precincts of tho gardens, and the Jani
tor refuses admission to those whose skirts
are too long.
The sanitary zeal of the Berlin police
Is rapidly becoming a mania. Under the
newest ordinance, the touching of. bread,
cakes, etc., or the handling of meat or
vegetables In shops, Is punishable with a

Mrs. Yorkes Is tho wife of tho American

Mrs. Yorkes declined to talk much about
tho case, but tho World correspondent
learned that tho princess nnd tho dress

offered Mrs. Ycrkes two other models

PARIS, Aug. 17. (New York World

colossal distillery at Pontarller, where Is
mado the most famous and finest absinthe
consumed In France, was burned tho event
was Immediately discussed In every town
nnd village, every paper displaying the
news conspicuously and many n one pub
lishing editorials gravely discussing tho
consequences.
A featuro of the situation pointed out
by Figaro Is tha.t everybody seemed Imme
diately to want a drink of tho "green
fairy," and the consumption on that day Is
estimated at ten times tho usual amount.
Tho keepers of the boulevard cafes and
some of tho bars lost their heads, think
ing that tho supply would soon bo short,
so they doubled tho retail price, but the
next day the distillery firm issued a proc
lamation returning thanks for public sym
pathy and announcing that the wholesale
houses were amply stocked to meet tho
demand until arrangements could bo made
to start a new distillery. Two moro Im
portant liquor distilleries had been bought
and tho work of transformation begun.
Tho burned works covered several acres
and employed several thousands. Tho loss
was total. Tho spectacle of tho conflagra

vast reservoirs of alcohol shot flames BOO

liquid flowed down tho hillsides. The day
after the tire the huge storago cellars

sions, havo resolved to assist In a rev
olutionary movement against Venezuela
and her government. All cf thla has been
actually proved by the official publications
Issued by tho cabinet In Bogota. They dato
from tho 1st of April. ThU view has not
been denied, cither by the conservative
government of Colombia or by her envoy
extraordinary nnd minister plenipotentiary
In this capital.
"When tho government of Venezuela was
surprised by the first and Becond Invasions
of her frontier by 0,000 and 2.000 men, re
spectively, tho Invnders woro victoriously
expelled by ihe government and tho peo
plo of Venezuela.
"Since said events 10,000 men havo been
massed on tho frontier for tho defense of the
Integrity of Venezuela and Its natl nal
honor. Those nro quite apart from her
active service troops on othor parts of tho
frontier as well as national troops rcat
tered over the republic and the roscrvo
militia now under arms.
"Venezuela has not accepted tho Invasion
ns an International attack by the people of
Colombia against tho peoplo of Venezuela,
but knowing Its resources recognizes In It
the work of the conservative government
of Colombia against tho majesty of tha
nation ot Venezuela.

"I always knew tho men of Bayvlow to
be loyal to tho Amalgamated association
and was satisfied all along that when tho
situation wns thoroughly explained to them
they would stand by tho order to strike. I
look upon tho uctlon of tho Bayvlow lodgo
as a great gain In the fight with tho United
States Steel corporation. I leavo for East
Chicago Sunday morning, whpre I expect to
address tho men of tho Republic Iron and
Steel company In tho afternoon."

much disappointed at the outcomo. "I fully
expected that when tho question camo to a
vote the men would stand by their contracts
with tho Illinois Steel company nnd rcfuso
to strike." said Mr. Rels. "Tho amount of
wages to bo lost by tho men Is going to
foot up $90,000 per month. Tho Bayvlew
plnnt will bo closed down Indefinitely."
If tho strike Is of long durntlon, Milwau
kee's suburb of Bayvlew will bo seriously
affected, as that section of tho city Is prac
tically made up of mlllmen nnd tho mer
