DECAY OF TILLAGE IN IRELAND Mm Tkta Sixty Per Cent of the Are of the Island la ?f ott Derated to restore1 or liar Lend. DUBLIN, Nor.. . (Special.) That happy land where there are no taxes has been discovered In Ireland. It lies off the coast of Donegal and comprises the corea of amall Inlands which dot that part of the coast and which are lnhublted by a race of hardy fishermen and amall farmer. These Islands are truly a part of the country where the king's writ doea not run, and where the people are a law unto themselves. It must be said, how ever, that they do not need much law, for they are among the most peaceable and hard working people In the world. The discovery wa made at a recent meeting of the Donegal county council when the rate collector, whoso duty It la to collect the local taxes was called on to explain why no money had been forth coming for years from the Islands of Oola and Innlshmane, The unfortunate offlclaj explained that the reason he had not col lected 'these taxes was that ho was unablo to collect them, and he then announced that similar conditions prevailed through out all the Islands of the Donegal coast. It enema that the Inhabitants In common with the flshermen and boatmen of the mainland have a constitutional aversion to tax-gatherers and that he was unable to get a xiatman to take him to the Islands to serve the tax notices. On ono occasion when li found a boatman who did not know him, and actually succeeded In set ting foot on one of the islands he was marooned without food or lodging and the only wny that he succeeded In petting hack to the malnlund was by promising to take all his tax notices back with him unserved. All Officers the Same. Cm several occasions an attempt had been made to serve dlstresa notlcca for nonpayment of the taxes, but the police men to whom the duty was entrusted fared no better than the tax collector. The Done gal fishermen have no greater love for policemen than for rate-gatherers. The tax-gatherer suggested -that an attempt might be made to waylay the Islanders on the rare occasions when they came to the mainland to attend the markets, and take the clothes off them for payment of the ' rat s, but this course was not approved by the county ' council, which adjourned without having arrived at any solution of the problem. The administration of the ordinary crim inal and civil law in many districts of Ireland ia causing a good deal of anxiety to men of all parties, and Mr. John Red mond summed up the situation very con cfsely the other day In an interview which I had with him on his way to addresa a meeting at Birr on the subject. "The fact la," said Mr. Redmond, "that the old system of packing juries la not dead and the result is that it ia difficult to get an ordinary Jury to convict even in a pretty clear case where an offense against the law has been committed The crown says In effect, 'V expect you to convict in every case,' and the people retaliate by refusing to convict in any case. The fact la that, as Mr. Gladstone said. The law oomes to ua In aa alien garb.' It Is often totally un autted to the hablta of the people and to local oondltlona and when In addition to that we have the political unrest. It la not to be wondered at that the people In many parts of Ireland view the entire law and Its administration with ' hostility and sus picion." Waste Over lata ad. The decay of tillage in Ireland and the consequent growth of the wasteful and uneconomic system of gracing is shown g-rap) 'oally in a volume of agricultural statlft.fs Just published by the government.

More amusing revelations of the con ditions on the small Irish railways con tinue to be made by witnesses before tne railway commission. The latest line to come under notice Is tha Bchull & Bklb bereen IJght railway, whtch was built at a cost of nearly 1300,000. It was so badly built that after It had been running six days It had to be stoppd and the line had to be partially reconstructed. The engines and rol'.ing stock were socond hand, and were almost worn out, and the engine were ao weak that frequently the passen gers had to get out and help to push tha trains up the Inollnos, wma of which were at ateep as 1 in 28. Bume of the curves were aliuoBt rectangular and the greatest speed ever attained waa ten inlWs an hour. The manager told the commission that h thought the line could be put in efficient ejndl'lon to serve the district for about lljrt.000 more. Bervaat Problem la Ireland. It will probably be a surprise to Ameri cans to K-arn that there Is a domestic servant rroblern in Ireland, but there Is, and a very acute one. The subject waa considered recently at a meeting in Dublin, which waa addressed by T. W. Russell. M. P-, Vloo rresid.wt of the board of agri culture. The fact la that most of the best women servants emigrate to America and Australia, leaving the untrained and Incompetent to serve in Irish households, nd Mr. Russell laid bis flngr on the chl?f cause of the trouble. The sywtem of edu cation both In the national schools and lu the oonvant . schools he declared ta all wro:if. In the national schools the girls are taught modern languages and other subjects, which are all very well la them selves, but which will nt rlt them to wiler donimfllo service or to become wives of small farmers and tradesmen.

OBJECT TO INFLUX OF LABORERS Iahll Advises His Oevernmeat Prohibit Tbelr Coming- to Uatted States and Restrict IV amber to Canada. to TOKIO, Nov. 80.-Baron Ishli, chief of the bureau of commerce of tho Japanese Foreign iofflce, who visited America and Canada for the purpose of investigating the emigration problem, arrived In Toklo toflay and conferred with the officials of U'o Foreign offloe, with whom he arraned a thorough canvass of the situation for the coming week. In an Interview Baron Ishil said: "My visit to America and Canada con vinced mo that the opposition to the Japanese Is based partly upon race prejudice, though considerable of it la due to laborers, instigated by agitators. I found Japanese residents In America and Canada who resent the Incoming of their countrymen from tho Hawaiian Islands and Mexico. While It Is proper for Japan to conserve the Interests of the Japanese now residing abroad, many of whom are prospering and living peacefully In Amer ica, In my opinion It will be necessary In order to keep absolute faith with the United States to prevent immigration of laborers thither altogether, because an ex clusion act would be disagreeable. Wo should send laborers to Canada In great moderation." The Foreign office Is now engaged In In vestigating the representations of the American ambassador, Thomas J. O'Brien, concerning the chnrncter and number cf emigrants. The Indications are that tha Japanese government will give formal but verbal assurances of a future rigid ex clusion of all that can be termed strictly labor emigration to the United States, being careful also In limiting the number leaving for Canada. It ia doubtful if these assurances will take the form of written noiea to either country, but possibly For eign Minister Hayashl will make a state ment In the Diet. Many Fatalities la Formosa. Japan la experiencing trouble In the In terior of Formosa, where aborigines from the east side are continually raiding and becoming bolder. The reports from there are meager, but according to the best In formation of tbe Associated Press the fatil' '.Its during the fighting within tli'. last sixty days number over 200 on both sides.- Tbe number of aborigines la the unconquered section of the oountry is tlmated at 120,000. According to advices of the Associated Press from Seoul, the reports of disturbances throughout the . country are exaggerated. There have been a number of outbreaka, however, the Insurgents gathering In widely separated places. They commandeer the farmers, plunder them of their crops and Intrench them selves against the Jspanese, but are In variably dispersed. The Coreans in large number aro now assisting the Japanese to aecure order. A fight oocurral on Novem ber 27 between the Coreana and a A and of 800 Insurgents, who were well armed.

Unusual preparations are afoot for the reception of the crown prince of Cores, who aalla from Chemulpo with Prince ito and suits on December I, the emperor having ordered full royal honora to be paid him. Prince Ito, who Is now grand tutor to the crown price, will arrange the details of his education while he is here. It Is expected that tbe aotlon of the Japa nese emperor In according royal honors to the crown prince, thus assuring the Coreana ' that there is no desire on the part of Japan to annex Corea, will have a' beneficial effect.

A special cable to the Oreganlan from Nome, Alaska, says: Nome and probnbly tho entire Sew. rrd peninsula Is shrouded In an ashy haze and the ground for mile.'' is covered sev eral Inches deep with a One gritty powder, which is believed to be volcanic ashes. The storm began several days ao, tht dust blowing In from the ocean, but at first liitle attention waa paid to the freak of nature, as it was expected that It would soon cease. Instead, however, the fall continued and after a day became so dense as to seriously Interfere Willi out-of-door pursuits. Miners coming into town reported that for miles the tnov waa so lmpregnsted with the ashes that sledding waa almost impossible. Further the air la so full of ashes that breathing Is difficult and the fine powder was sifted into houses and business places to such an rxtent that It is thick on floors and on everything in tha way of goods and household furniture. It la believed that some one of the numer ous volcanic islands, either between this coast and Siberia, or more probably those Islands in the Alunka, peninsula or the Aleutian Islands are again In eruption and that the ashy downpour is due to this. No perlous results are anticipated, but much Inconvenience Is being caused by the pe culiar storm. DR. LUCY HAGENOW SENTENCED Woman Acensed of Caaslnsx Death of Mrs. Bradley's Sister Is Bent to Prison. CHICAGO, Nov. 30. "Dr." Lucy Hage now, almost 60 years old, waa found guilty of murdor today In Judge Chatlaln's court and sentenced to twenty years In the peni tentiary. She was trlod on a charge of causing the death of Mrs. Anna Horavitch by an illegal operation. She had been pre viously convicted of a similar crime and sentenced to an indeterminate term in tho penitentiary for manslaughter, but was paroled after serving a year. Her removal to Jollet for twenty years removes from Chicago a woman who has lony been a thorn to the police and the object of at tack by reputable physicians and medical societies. It was stated in the closing argu ments for the state that Mrs. Hagenow had practiced as a midwife In the United States, most of the time in Chicago, for thirty-seven years and had been the cause of 1,000 deaths. Mrs. Hagenow was also accused of hav ing brought about the death of Miss Lola Maddlson, a sister of Mrs. Bradley, who is being tried for the murder of Senator Brown. Miss MadcMson's- dying statement, used at the trial, waa Instrumental In bringing about a conviction. By a coincidence the Hagenow verdict was rendered on the clos ing day of the trial of Mrs. Bradley. WABASH LOSES THE REVENUE Compelled to Reimburse New Centra) for Patting la Caeap Rates. York , CHICAGO. V ov. C. F. Daly, vice president of the New York Central lines, haa stirred up a hornets' nest by the an nouncement that the Wabash put In the 810 rate from Chicago to New Tork and a correspondingly low rate from St. Louis to New Tork, on aecond class tickets, on a misunderstanding and that aa far as his line Is concerned he will not be a party to the rate. The Wabash uses the New Tork Central tracks from Suspension Bridge to Oswego and Mr. Daly declares the Wabash will have to stop the sale of these tickets as soon as the Interstate Commerce Commission will let it and in addition will have to pay the New York Central the local rate between Niagara Falls and Oswego for Its proportion of the 810 tickets sold. By having to pay tho local fare from Niagara Falls to Oswego there will not be much revenue left for the Wabash.

REACTIONARIES ATTACK SPEAKER He la Driven from Trlbane and Ses sion Is lasseaded After Half Hoar's Flalit Later He Waa Expelled. ST. PETERS liURO, Nov. 80. "The Stolypin necktie." an expression used by Fedor I. Rodltcheff, the arotor of the constitutional democrats In the Duma this afternoon to designate the summary regume of the drum-head court-marital In stituted by Premier Stolypin in August, 1908, and docreed out of existence by the second Duma Inst April. Is the phrase on all Hps in tho capital tonight. Ti.e phmse has already become historic and has com pletely blotted the effect of the ministerial declaration in subsequent debates and de stroyed the complacency of' the conserva tives, restoring the tense atmosphere of the earlier Dumas. Upon M. Stolypin, who In company with his colleagues was sitting near to tho apeaker's tribune, the worda fell aa a thunderbolt, recalling the moat painful In cident of his career as premier. H turned deathly white, clenched the desk and atared motionless for several minutes at tho unprecedented storm let loose by the reactionary surging past him. Finally he left tho chamber without uttering a word. Tamnlt Lasts Half an Hoar. The tumult caused by M. Rodlf heffs spoech continued for half an hour, during; which the speaker was severely handled and finally carried away bodily by hla sup porters to a corner of tho hall. The party leaders then entered into a long consul tation and it was made plain by the con stitutional democrats that Mr. Rodltcheff had meant no personal attack on the pre mier, but had been carried away by Im petuosity. M. Rodltcheff then went to the pavilion and begged M. Stolylln'a forgive ness. After an hour's recess the session was reopened. M. Khomkoff, for the premier, sternly lectured the rightist member and proposed to suspend M. Rodltcheff from the sittings. "The latter rose and declared thst he had no Intention of offending; anyone.. He would let . hia words appear In the records a spoken, however, because he believed that they corresponded to the acts of royalty. The suspension waa voted by 88 majority by the Octoberlsts and members of the right. The constitutional democrats, led by M. Mllukoff. Joined In the subsequent ovation to testify to the Duma's high regard for Premier Stolypin. Reactionists Attack Speaker. The session of the Duma today, which waa devoted to the continuation of the de bate on the declaration of the government presented by Premier Stolypin yesterday, broko up in a riot.. The reactionists as saulted Fedor I. Rodicheff, orator of the constitutional democrats, and attempted to drag him from the tribune on order to end hla vitriolic attack on the government. Premier Stolypin and cabinet members witnessed the demonstration and departed when It became evident that the howling mob had no Intention of allowing the ses sion to proceed. M. Rodicheff, in a ringing speech. In which he waa constantly Interrupted by applauae or Jeers, was eulogising the hun dreds of victims of drumhead courts-martial, and when he refurrcd to the officials of the government aa hangmen a hundred reactionaries led by Vladimir Purlahke vltch, monarchist, and two priests, stormed the tribune. President Khomyakoff, after vainly ring ing his bell for order, abandoned the chair and declared the sitting closed. The ccnstltutlonal "democrats and social domocrats charged to the rescue of M. Rodicheff, who was being roughly handled. They formed a phalanx around him end bore him, atlll ahoutlng defiance, to ono corner of the hall. The tumult continued for fully half an hour until the party leadera succeeded In withdrawing their fol lowers to the committee rooms for con sultation. Carpetbas-gers Denounced. During his speech M. Rodltcheff said the Ratification policy of the government In Poland and Finland made him ashamed to call himself a Russian citlxm. He re ferred to the "carpet bag" patriotism of this policy and declared that since the crude time of tha Moscow osare, the autoo racy has done nothing to elevate the con dition of the peoplo, had ruined happy and prosperous sections of the Russian empire and had lnoulcated, in place of the orig inal Slavlo principles of liberty and olvlo rights, a Bysantlne despotism which had brought rplne and desolation in Its train. He maintained that the opposition parties loved the oountry passionately, but they wished to make It possible for humblest inhabitants to have the same equality be fore the throne and in the eyea of the law and the same pride in Russian cltlsenshlp as the highest dignitary In the empire. i ELEVATOR FALL KILLS TWO ruamicr I.lft la Bis; Chleavo Store Drops Tea Stories with Fatal Results.

D., Nov. 90.-Flve cracksmen, believed to be the same men who a few weeks ago held up and ro'.b?d the People's State bank at Canova, early this morning wrecked and robbed the safe In the bank of L. Steen at Steen, Minn., a little town a few miles east of Sioux Falls. After completing their task, wl'lch was performed with more speed than the Ca nova affair, the Ave men made their escape on what la known as a railroad apeeder.

BRYAN RANKS SPLIT Charles A. Towne, Ardent Devotee, Already Differs with Leader. PARTY STARTS FIGHT DIVIDED Former Minnesotan Disapproves No braskan's Bank Deposit Flan. YET HE WILL TAKE THE STJKP Local Brethren Wonder How Well Divided House Will Stand. NO BLAME ON THE PRESIDENT Towne "ays Roosevelt's A tt It ado I Not Rri.ontble for tho Financial Flurry Over the Country. Charles A. Town, one of the most ardent Bryan men who ever followed tho Prrlesg Leader to defeat, who backed out of the republican party and forfeited a brilliant political career to Join the ranks of tha tilvcr crusttde, Is already taking Issuo with Mr. Bryan, though declaring he will campaign for him In 190S. He was In Omaha yesterday and frankly admitted he could not approve Mr. Bryan's scheme of the government .guaranteeing bank de posits, nor would Mr. Towne, In common vv!th some other of his partisans, mm to Impose upon President Roosevelt lespon siblllty for the financial flurry. Admitting Mr. Bryan had no serious opposition within his party for the presidential nomination and that Tammany had not taken a stand against the Nebraskan, Mr. Towne left tha city with some of his dvmocratlo brethren wondering how strong a leader the srtge of College View will prove with his most ardent devotees unable to em brace some of the doctrines he preaches tho loude't. Roosevelt Not to Blame. "It Is unfair t- the president to ascribe to him responsibility for the present finan cial flurry, though I think his attitude has aggravated and accentuated the situation," said Mr, Towne. , "Tbe recurrence of periods of liquidation have been so regular as almost to be possible of prediction to a year and this recurrence, due In two or three years, has been hurried by revelations In flnanclal affairs, which has shown that people who have been trusted with 'arga sums of money have proved recreant to their trust," said Mr. Towne. It Is another cas.- of lack of confidence. What the country needs now Is not more currency. If we had had twic as much the run on the banks would have occurred Just the same; but we do need a revision of our banking and fin. ncl.il laws. "I do not think the government should guarantee deposits In the banks, but I do think that under government supervision the national Hanks should be rim;.. !ld to form an organization, which will insr nte tbe deposits In all of the national oanka. The details of thla plan should be left to men familiar with conditions; then tho amount of money, wblch can be loaned should be strictly regulated and the manner of malting such leans; ths relations be tween the banker and hla bank; and ths matter of reports of banks should receive attention. Will Boost for Bryan. "I have retired from politics and am de voting my time to practice of Uw and pil vate business. I may be bade In the game again, but not now, although I expect to miaka apeeches next year for Mr. Bryan aa candidate for the presidency." MY. Towne said that while there were objections to Mr. Bryan on the part of some Nw York democrat there waa no practical opiMDitlon; that the attitude of Mr. Murphy of Tammany Hall was some what misunderstood, as he had not declared Tammany was oppoa.! to the Ndbraskan, but that another person had no authority to pledge the organization to him. The In cipient candidacy of other 0 unocrats was mildly scor- ed by Mr. Town. Mr. Towne showed with considerable pride a seal ring, the gift of a Moro daTto while he wan lu Mindanao. The ring ta of native workmanship and shows, that the Moro haa made considerable advance In tii manufacture of Jewelry. Towne Has Varied Career. Mr. Towne visited Mayor Lahlman Sat urday. He was on his way from New Tork to Nevada, where he has mining Interests, and will stop again In Omaha three Weeks from now on hla return east. Mr. Towne has had a varied career In politics. He came Into prominence In Mln nosnta aa representative from the old D il ium district now represented by J. AdasB Bede. Mr. Towno "was then a republican, but Mr. Bryan came on the political liori son with hla "Cross of Oold and Crown of Thorns" and Mr. Towne Joined the crusade known as "silver republican's " He cessed to represent bis district In congress. Page Morris, now on the federal bench, fell heir to the Job. Towno, however, went to tha aonalo upon the death of Cushmaa K. Davis. Davis died in November, and Gov ernor Llnd, democrat, appointed Towne as his successor. Th republican legislature, however, robbed Mr. Towne of this honor soon after It convened the first of the year, electing Moses H Clapp, republican, and Towne held his seat only until March 4. In the last Bryan campaign Mr. Towne, silver-tongued, next only to the peer less Leader himself, put In the time on the Pacific coast. He ran for vice-president on the populist ticket, against his will, It waa aald. Then when picking ran out in Minnesota Mr. Towne went' to New York tho meantime gathering up a few stray nickels In the oil business at Beaum nt, Tex. He went to congress as a Tamniany" man and out again whan lis quit Tammany. COMPLAINT" REACHES CAPITAL Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen Complain of t'nanfe Condition of MIoarl Pari Be Track.
