He said that they had to battle their way through many dlscoursgemmts without any national fund at their back. Hat the fart remained that the Cork ad visory committee was the only body In the country that had exercised any real or sanitary, Influence upon the working of tho purchase act, and he thought the country waa now beginning to realize all that might have been effected If they had. In every county In Ireland established a body auch aa that of men of reasonableness, of fair ness, of Indisputable representative weight, and ' If they had the whole organised strength of the league at their back, and 'If they also had at their back the enor mous funds which had been lavished for the last few years on purposes, ha waa afraid, lens beneficial to the farmers and laborers of Ireland. He looked with a good deal of interest for the speech made recently- by Mr, Itedmond at Kllteely, and he confessed he read It with considerable disappointment. He had hoped that a man of Mr. Redmond great position aa leader of the Irish party would have recognised frankly the grave position In which that paity found itself, owing not to any ac tion of ills (Mr. O'Brien's), but to Its own Inaction, not to use any stronger expres sion., and would have plaoed before the country some broad and statesmanlike pro posal to bring Irishmen together and find some remedy for a state of things which, as every man In the country knew, had re duced the movement here at home and In Parliament to ah unreal shadow. There was nothing but the same vague old mean tngless parrot cry about unity, without any reference to what they were to be untied about, and without any reference to the fact that he had a completely united country and a completely united party In the hollow of his hand for the last three years, with no other resui". but the state of collapse-In-which the Irish cau was aUl- A . .Tl-.

Th 'comparative Scarcity of bacon- pig In the (airs, and markets of Ireland for soma time peat has naturally given rise to the. statement. that grocers and provl Ion dealers anticipate very shortly a rtae In the price of homo bacon. Asked .how he accounted for the falling ft In the, rearing of pigs In the country, considering that the last potato harvest had been a tolerably good one, one of the leading dealera replied that he believed It was owing to the large importa of American flour, which, In contradistinction to Irish milled flour, left no offal for pig feeding.

This authority sold a good deal cf Canadian bacon, which, he said, be bought at the same price as Dublin cured and that he preferred to out up the former, es there waa less "shoulder" In It. The supply of good horses was not at all equal to the -msnd at the Munater fair and the bulk cf better class horses found ready purchasers.

The most remarkable and the most en eouraglng passages In the report of the committee of the Irish, Uame Protection aaseoeiatton, whose annual meeting haa Just been held, deal with the Interest which 1 purchasing tenants display In the game protection on their holdings. The report acta forth that: "Several bodlea of ten ant purchasers who have acquired the sporting rights on their farms applied to our committee for guidance as to how . they might best co-operate in the preserva tion of game for their own benefit, which advice was readily given, and In addition the association was In some cases able to recommend ahootlng luianta, who took leases of the sporting rights. 1 Tour' com- . nilbtee Is glad to discern that this spirit of combination to preserve gam Is to soma extent spreading amongst the new proprietors," The Irish lira per s Assistants' Benefit and Protective association organised temperance rally, which waa largely at tended.

CANAL PROVES ADEQUATE Dry Dork Dewey Passes Sues Water war Maaaer Creditable to All. CONSTANTINOPLE. May 2,-(8peclal Cablegram to The Bee.) Interviewed upon the subject of the floating Dewey dock In the Sue canal, Thomas Sutherland, the well known expert, this week said: I think It U worthy of note that a somewhat remarkable operation has been accomplished by the Sues Canal company's service In passing the Dewey, a floatlnr dock of altogether exceptional dlmensi' ' through the canal, not only without-' .:h, or accident of any kind, but wl"' ,.m the least degree interfering wit1 , ordinary traffic. . ' This mammoth strut. is being towed from the United States to the Philippine islands, ana nes so iar euccssiuiijr -v i-t. coniDlished Its long Journey. But the transit through the Sues canal was viewed with some natural anxiety, on account of the peculiar dimensions, especially In beam depth. These dimensions are: Length, 600 feet; beam, 154 feet; depth, nearly SO feet, the lifting power of the dock being 16,000 tons. As the draft of water on the dock was at the same time only eight feet., the difficulty of towing a huge body of this construction through a narrow channel . ... . I was sufficiently obvious ana tne iiaDiiuy io cause delay to the busy traffic of the canal waa equally apparent. But by ex- cavatlng two additional gares, or sidings, and taking advantage of the room avail- able at Tlmsah and at both ends of the Bitter lakes, the canal officials succeeded In getting this awkward craft through from Port Ssld to Sues within four days, notwithstanding that bad weather was ex- pertenced during part of the time, and. I happily, without any perceptible Interfer- enre with the ordinary business of the I company. I Prom a nautical point of view this I operation Is highly creditable to the skill I of all concerned."

His Majesty's Inspector of Constabulary for Scotland, Malar A. O. Ferguson, has Just made a repjrt In which he says- that greater effectiveness and more general usefulness of the police would be attained: By reducing the Isrge number ot small separate ponce establishments. My extending tne teiepnune as far as possible to all the Important police stations, so us to give continuous communications. 1 By providing vans In large towns lor conveying constables to or from distant Deals, and for brlnsjng in prisoners.

By holdina Derlodlcal examinations of th men as to their knowledge of police duties. By havlna detective officers in most forces for criminal work, and abolishing the practice where It still exists of sherlix officers taking charge of criminal cases. By naving a reserve in proportion 10 the strength, to provide men In some de gree trained to till vacancies; to provide for sickness and leave of absence; and to reduce th too long hours of day and night duties In towns. By providing bicycles where they are found of service. This mode of traveling enables constables to visit their Dents oftener and to be visited themselves more frequently by their superior officers. ay Keeping in some 01 tne larger ana more important forces a few trained men and hotses with equipment and saddlery In order that the mounted police may be more serviceable.

The practice of permitting Junior officers to perform duties such as procurator-fiscal, which takes them from the Immediate Jur isdiction of their chief-constable, is to be deprecated. , MAY AVOID ITALIAN VISIT Saltan of Morocco Woold Have AI- sreclras Treaty Signed at tho Coast.

' The mag- sen's hint that, should the document be signed at Tangier, there Is scarcely any necessity for the Italian commission to proceed to Fes.

Could he personally be persuaded to make one effort to show some energy, the situation Is not past saving, but, unfortunately, few or none of those about him desire to see him make this effort, which would naturally be dis astrous for their own interests. LABORING MENJN COMMONS Scotek Trade Unionist Congratulate Themselves on Character of Members of Parliament. GLASGOW, May M. (Special Cablegram to The Bee.) At the Scottish trade unions' congress at Greenock, over which Bailie Johnston has been presiding. Will Crooks, M. P., delivered the principal address. - He said they, as trade unionists, were getting ahead In a way little dreamed ot some ten or fifteen years ago. In the old days It was considered the proper thing when attending a meeting to down, tha neighbor from whom they disagreed on every possible occasion. That waa not so nowadsys, and it was a source of surprise to the Intellectuals In the house when they saw the labor man quietly listening while they were being o posed In the parlla mentay sense. But they were surprised occasionally to And thai the laborlsts could hit as bard and say things aa astonishing aa the Intellectuals aforesaid. Trey knew more about many of the questions than did those who attempted to explain them. One university member of Parliament, indeed, had remarked that he had been struck by the fine grip of matters, national and In ternatlonal, possessed by members ot the labor party. They had acquired their knowledge In a hard school. Year by year they were developing a capacity for ad ministration certainly not equalled by any other clasa in the kingdom. In the work before them they wanted unity and the best of men. If the kingdom was to be made worth living for the toilers. INTRIGUES AT GERMAN COURT War Party" Seeks to Overthrow Ad visors of Emperor and Start Tronble. ( BERLIN. May St. (Special Cablegram to Th Bea t Sensational revelations of secret Influence st work at the German court are made by the Deutsche Tagesxeltung and one or two other leading conservative newspapers. A powerful group of German nobtemen and high officers of the army and navy, who may be briefly termed the war party, have recently redoubled their effnrta to ae. quire predominate Influence at court and thereby over the home and foreign policy of the German government. . They aim at getting rid of Prirwe Buelow and the new foreign secretrj-y, Herr von Tsohtrschky. Having removd from power those two statesmen, both of whom exercise a moderating Influence.

END OF ASSEMBLY pTetbjteriana Conclude Deliberation! and Adjourn to Xeet at Oolnmbni. MOST IMPORTANT SESSION FOR YEARS Eeeoluticrai Are Adcpted Mahintt Simple Declaration of Dootrine. FATALISTIC INTERPRETATION NOT ALLOWED Statement Vads to Meet Objections' of Certain Cumberland Mombers. QUESTION OF COLOR LINE COMES UP 1 Proposition to Create New Synod from Negro Presbyteries Goes Over After Extended Debate. DBS MOINES, la., May 2.-The 111th Presbyterian general assembly concluded Its business late this afternoon and ad journed to meet next year at Columbus, O. The assembly Is considered to hsve been the most Important In the history of the church because ot the completion of the union with the Cumberland church. The solemn declaration of the consummation of tha union by the moderator and the appearance of delegates from the Cumber land assembly were Incidents that will be remembered long by the men who came from all parts of the world to advance the cause of Christianity. The declaration ot the assembly In favor of church federation is also considered an Important step and It Is expected that It will be followed by slmllaratlon on the uart of other churches. The movement for union and federation Is believed by church leaders to be in full swing and they predict the early union of all Presby terian churches In th United States. New Statement of Doctrine. The closing sessions were enlivened by reveral acrimonious debates, one of which came when Rev. Dr. J. D. Moffatt offered resolutions Intended to conciliate objectors to the recent union. Dr.- William Lowrle of Bellefont, Pa., objected to statements that the syods and Presbyterians of the Cumberland church had been added to the rolls of tha Presbyterian church in the United States of America, because he said a large number of Cumberland ministers are said to be in session In St. Louis planning to continue the Cumberland church. Dr. Moffatt flashed back that tha union Is a fact. The resolutions were then adopted. They set forth that for , fear some Cumberland Presbyterians may be reluctant to acquiesce In the union because of certain misapprehensions . which should be removed the following declarations are solemnly made: First That In the Presbyterian church no acceptance nf doctrine la required beyonil a personal faith in. Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Savior of the world, and sincere acceptance of Him as Lord and Master. second That ministers, ruling elders and deacons In expressing approval ot ths West minster coniession or taitn are required to assent only to the syetum 'of dootrine es tablished therein and not to every uertlcu- Kr statement. It is further declared no longer allowable to Interpret the system- of doctrine In any fatllstlc sense. Third That reunion works no change In the relations of communicants, ruling eld ers and deacons to their own particular churches, nor, except in a rew instances, in their selections to their presbyteries and synods. The hope Is also expressed that all may see, that greater efuclency in ;n church may . be achieved by ths union. O,nesrloa of Color Lino Cornea l'p. The color line was aherply drawn and the negro question came squarely to the surface In the Presbyterian assembly for the first time today. The committee on church policy submitted a report recommending the erec tion of a synod In Alabama to Include the presbyteries of Birmingham, Leevere and Rogeraville, to be known as the Synod of Chattanooga. The presbyteries In the synod are French Brood, Holston, Klnston and Union. The presbyteries of Birmingham. Leevere and Rogeraville are composed of negro churches. The others are composed of white churches. Woold Divide Races. The purpose of ths committee was to divide the races. No sooner had the report been submitted when Russell Tay lor, a negro minister of Leevere and one of the commissioners of the assembly from that Presbytery, took ths floor. He violently opposed tha proposed synod on the ground that the three presbyteries specified were not numerically strong enough or well enough versed in church law to assume the functions and duty of a synod. Members of the committee spoke for the erection of the synod, cs re fully avoid ing the race question and emphasizing the claim that each of th three presby teries had asked such action. After spirited discussion, in which the colored commissioner received the majority of th applause It was unanimously voted to refer the whole subject to . the as sembly of 1907. Messas a From Other Charches. The Presbyterian general assembly today received the telegram from th United Presbyterian assembly in session at Rich mond, Ind., and the Virginia classes of the Reformed Presbyterian church In the United States, congratulating the assembly I on tha Cumberland union. V- w I. . . . u. HU.iai,., U 1 . 1 ! . Ull, mittee on home missions, read a telegram from the Presbyterian Church, South, say ing It does not charge the board with Improper practices, but the active workera In the fleld. The assembly authorised Dr. Marshall to telegraph the southern assem bly that If such practices were being fol lowed It wss unknown to the sssemhly. Dr. William Laurie, one cf the Presby terian commissioners to the assembly In session here now who voted against union with the Cumberland church, caused another commotion by opposing a motion to require all commissioners to write to all pastors and elders In their Presbyteries, asking them to take up collections for the relief of churches, which suffered from tha California earthquake and fire. Move for Temperance. The committee on church polity today submitted a report recommending that any member of the ; Presbyterisn church renting his or her property for Intemperate uses be disciplined by the church. To the question "Has a lawyer, a member of th church a right to defend a violator of the temperance law?" no answer waa given A proposition, to amend the Westminister confession of faith by striking out the words: "Cast into eternal torment." was rejected by the assembly.

May 21-The lower house, with only seven dissentients, voted the order of the day, demanding the res ignation of the ministry and Its replace ment bv a cabinet composed of members chosen from those enjoying the confidence ot the majority of the lower House of Parliament. ST. PETERSBURG, May 26. Before a bouse more crowded than on the opening day, with every member in his seat and the press and public galleries crowded. Premier Ooremykln this , afternoon read to the lower house of - Parliament the ex pected declaration of the government's policy pronouncing the Imperial negatlvo on the most cherished hopes and plans of the people's representatives. In the Im perial box eat Grand Duke Nicholas Nik olalevich, following the proceedings with the keenest Interest. There was scarcely standing room In the section assigned to members of the upper house and th premier and the entire cabinet, with the exception of Vic Admiral Blrileff. min ister of marine, and Lieutenant General Rudlger, minister of war, occupied seats on the ministerial benches. The scene before the opening was one of great but suppressed excitement. All present were awar that the reapons would utterly fall to meet the wishes of the lower house and a hum of eager dis cussion aa to the effect of tbe resolutions expressing lack of confidence In th gov ernment, which the constitutional demo crats and the labor party had drafted In advance, filled the hall and corridors. Goromykln In Tribune. Tbe tinkle of President Mourmetseff a bell calling the session to order stilled the . house, whereupon, without waiting for further preliminaries. Premier Oore mykln mounted to the tribune and began reading th governmental declarations. He evidently was not used to public speeohes, as he labored under a consid erable strain and spok In- a low, weak voice which at times, though deathlike silence prevailed, failed, to reach the rear of the great' hall except aa an indistinct muttering.- The reading, which was aa rapid as If the premier had been " in a hurry to get through with a disagreeable task, laated - eighteen minutes and waa Interrupted only by pauses to swallow several glaaaea of water. Tha members In the meanwhile sat stolidly silent and when' the premier had finished and bowed to the assembly not a murmur of approval was heard through the house, where tha pages Immediately began to distribute printed copies of the speech. , Statement of Promter. The premier's statement was as fol lows: " The ' government, after examining th address of the lower house of Parliament In accordance with the Instructions of th emperor, Is fully prepared to lend its entire support to the elaboration of the questions suggested by the lower house Insofar as they do not go beyond limits of the legislative Inlatltlvea assigned to the . lower house. This support the gov ernment will alio extend to the amend ment of the franchise law, although It is of the opinion that this question should not be made the subject of Immediate discussion, inasmuch as the lower house Is only Just entering upon Its labors and therefore Is not yet in a position to ascer tain the need of such a change. rlpeclal caution must he shown by th council of ministers In regard to ths reg ulations recommended by ths lower house of satisfying, without delay, the needs of the rural population and placing th peasants on s rooting of equality with the other classes, of satisfying the re- ?ulrements of the working people, of rsmlng a measure providing tor obliga tory elementary education, of making the wealthiest classes liable to the payment of taxes, of reorganizing the provincial administration and of introducing a sys tem of self-government with special con sideration for the peculiar conditions 0 tha frontier provinces. As to Liberty. The council of ministers attaches no less Importance to the suggested law re lating to the liberty of the subject, of Sonsclence and of the press and to free om" of meeting and association. Never theless it considers It neoessary in pre paring such laws to provide the admin istration with such effective means as to enable th government to prevent or counteract any abuae of the liberties conceded.- 1 With reference to the solution of tho agrarian question by the transfer of the crown appanages and monastery and church lands, and by the forcible ex propriation of private landed property which Includes the private property of peasants, the council of ministers holds It to be Its duty to declare that such a method is wholly Inadmissible. The gov. ernmont cannot deprive one party of Its possessions In order to bestow them upon another. To contest th right of th private posM-sslon of land would In fact be to contest the right to poaaesa any private property at all. Throughout the world and In all gradea of the development of civil life the Inviolability of property conatltutea the cornerstone of the welfare of the people and tne fundamental basis of the life of the state. The resources still at the dlspossl of the state and the wide application of legal methods will doubtless neip to nna a successtui solution or tne agrarian quratlon without undermining ths powera of the fatherland. No Other Polata. The other lawe referred to by the lower house touch on the responsibility of the ministers and the abolition nf the upper house. The council of ministers does not feel Itself Jusilllcd In entertaining these propsals as they Involve radical alterations of the fundamental law and conditions which are beyond the province of the lower house. . Finally, as regards the solicitude of ths lower house to secure Justice and right In the army and navy, the government de clares that in the army these principles are already unshakeably established and that the solicitude ot its Illustrious head Is now directed to the Improvement of the material . position of the soldiers and to devising means for a more extensive realisation of the measures dlrecUa to that end. As regards the proposed abolition of the exchange laws and the arbitrary acts of officials the com.rll of ministers considers this wholly within the domain of pitolU: administration which the lower house has Only the right of interpretation. Further more the ror-soltdatlon of the administra tion Into a state of strict legality forms the subject of special rare 011 the part of the government which will not fall to see that the conduct of government officials Is limolred by similar endeavors The government also recognises t'lat th present exceptional lawe do not autlUe la CoaUnue- an ere-rta ag J r ) - T.
