Little Chance for Irish Legislation

Dl'BLIN, Feb. 8. (Special.) Now that
Parliament haa reassembled and tha Irish
party )n once more reunited, speculation
la rife a to what Ireland will gain In the
way of legislation this session. The opinion
of those who are beat Informed la that
a bill to establish and endow a Catholic
university In Ireland' will be passed and
that thla bill will be all that Ireland can
hope for. A atrenuoua effort will be made
by the reunited party td Induce the gov
ernment to bring In a really satisfactory
homo rule measure,, hut no one seriously
think that It will be auccesMful. The gov
ernment haa already burdened Itself with
a long program of legislation to satisfy its
English supporters and rt will have no time
thla session to devote to a measure which
would arbuse ao much controversy aa a
hornet rule bill and which would undoubt
edly be thrown out by the House of Lords,
thus necessitating an appeal to the country
at a time when the government is ill pre
pared, for a general election.
It la an open secret that the influence
of the hierarchy waa the paramount one
In bringing about the reunion of Messrs.
William O'Brien and Timothy llealy with
the party. Both are devoted sons of the
church and their Influence and experience
will be of great use In assisting in tbsj
framing and conduct through Parliament of
the university bill.
Ireland's Sport Threatened.
One effect of the land purchase act which
la now beginning, to be felt Is the threat
ened ruin of Ireland aa a country for
sport, and thla la really rather a aerlous
matter. The preservation of game and the
establishments kept up by the wealthy visi
tors who came for the shooting and hunt
ing gave employment to a 'large number
of people and brought a great deal of
money Into the country. When the large
eatatea were broken up and divided among
the tenant farmers no arrangements were
made for the sporting rights, except In a
few instances where the landlords, by spe
cial agreement retained them. The result
haa been that the game has not been pre
served and that its wholesale destruction
haa taken place.. In several famoua hutlng
and shooting districts' the farmers who
have acquired the aportlng rights of their
holdings are seriously discussing oo-opera-tlve
effort for the protection of the game
and the suppression of poaching, and It Is
probable that some plan will be worked
out by which the farmers of a district will
combine to employ gamekeepers and to let
the sporting rights of their holdings during
the season.
All the Joy haa iot gone ,ut of country
life In Ireland, as was proved by part of
the proceedings at a recent meeting of the
Donegal county council. An application
came before the council for the recon
struction of the bridge connecting Crult
Island with tho mainland. As the brldgV
waa only built In Uj and waa a substan
tial wooden structure there were natu
rally inquiries why It needed rebuilding and
It was explained that recently there was
a foot ball match on the Island and after
the game the lads and lasses assembled on
the bridge for a dance. They danced so
vigorously that the bridge collapsed and
waa swept away, while a number of the
dancers had to swim for their lives. , For
tunately, no one was any the worse for
the ducking, but since then the eighty
five families who live on the Island have
had to carry on their traffic; with the
mainland by boat.
Islanders of Bsnbrg,
At til same meeting the council again
discussed the case of the islanders of Bun
beg, who refuse to pay any iaxes and
who some time ago marooned the tax col
lector when he visited one of the Islands
to try and collect the tuxes due. The col
lector reported that since then he had
been unable to get a boat to take him to
the Islands at all and that when he ap
plied to the police for aid they tried for
a week to get a boat, but without auc
cess. The most serious tenure of the
situation Is that the Inhabitants of the
other Islands on the Donegal coast have
been encouraged by the success of the
Bunbeg islanders and have determined to
stop paying taxes. The county council
talked for an hour and then decided. that
there waa nothing It could do In the mat
ter. Only fifteen persona were killed and
forty-eight Injured on the Irish railways
In the last quarter of 1907. Three of the
killed and two of the Injured were pas
aenger. five of the killed and forty-one
of the Injured were railway aervanta and
the rest were classified as "other persons,"
which probably means that they were tres
passers on the lines.
Hlaht to Flak for Eela.
An Interesting lawsuit which la now
rS.-r.-iT tried In Dublin Involves the right
if liehlng for eela In Lough Neagh,
which is the largest body of fresh water
in the 1'nlted Kingdom. The va.ue of
the rlf.ht will be understood when It Is
stated that quite frequently 110,000 worth
pets are taken In a single night. The
holders of grant from Lord Shaftea
bury are trying to establish the exclusive
right to the fishery and to exclude the
local fishermen, who in turn claim that
King James I established a "free and
;ommon right of piscary in and upou
Lough Negh" and that this right haa
teen exercised ever elnce. They also
claim that the lough Is a free and com
mon inland aea and that no one can es
tablish any exclusive right to Ha use.
It la not generally known that Lough
Neagh poaaeases the dignity of a hered
itary lord high admiral. The honor is
an appanage of the marquis of Donegal,
and the present hereditary naval genius
who is entitled to command the defences
of Lough Neagh against any foreign fo
is Just i years old. Other Irish heredi
tary naval commanders are Lord 1 aibot
Of Malahlde, who is "hereditary lord ad
antral of Malalild and all the seas ad-

PUNTA ARENAS, Strait of Magellan,
Feb. 8, 2 a. m. The American battleships,
accompanied by the torpedo boat flotilla,
cleared from the harbor at 1 o'clock this
morning on their way through the west
ern half of the strait to the Pacific coast
of South America.
Through the dangerous channels of the
western portion of Magellan strait, navi
gating with extreme caution until Cape
I'll I ares, the westernmost point of the
southern side of the strait, has been left
well behind and the waters of the broad
Pacific fairly entered, the American battle
ship fleet and torpedo boat destroyer flo
tilla now continue their remarkable cruise.
From Punta Arenas their course lies south
ward to Cape Froward, the southernmost
point on the mainland of South America.
From Cape Froward the strait turns and
extends 160 miles In a northwesterly direc
tion. After Cape Pllares has been cleared
the battleships' prows will be turned north
ward and a course laid along the Chilean
coast to a point off Valparaiso and thence
to Calleo.
Destroyers Take Inside Coarse.
Lieutenant Cone's flotilla of torpedo boat
destroyers will part company with the bat
tleships when Smyth channel, thirty miles
from the western end of Magellan strait,
is reached ar.d proceed northward through
this channel. They will follow an Inside
route that will keep the little vessels well
protected from heavy weather and also
will shorten their voyagu to Talcahuano,
their next stopping place, 2,130 knots from
Punta Arenas.
Following closely along the rocky coast
of Chile, the battleships in a week's time
will find themselves off Valparaiso. Here
they will run close Into the city and each
will fire a national salute of twenty-one
guns, after which they will continue their
voyage to Callao, Peru.
That portion of Magellan strait through
which the fleet la now passing Is one of
the most wildly picturesque waterways In
the world and American sailors will wit
nea acenery which Is- excessively grand,
and rugged mountains, some of them that
attain heights of 7,000 feet, border tho
strait on both rides. " '
Scenery Wild, and Grand.
The shores mostly are steep and glaciers
descend -nearly to the aea In some places
and frequently crown precipices In others.
The currents ar powerful and swift and
the depth of tho water Is one of Its re
markable features. In some places about
300 feet. The winds of the strait are never
at rest. Pouring through mountain ranges,
they are sudden, powerful, uncertain and
unusually freighted with squalls of anow
and rain. The gloom of the place la ever
present, accentuating the majesty of Its
scenery.
When Cape Pllares has been passed the
vessels will be practically out of the strait.
The only other land remaining In their
path will be the Evangelists, twenty-three
miles northwest of Cape Pllares. They
consist of four rocky Inlets and some de
tached rocks, named thus by the early
Spanish navigators. After rounding the
Evangelists, the ships will have a clear
track northward to Valparaiso and Callao.
CARSON DENIES "WHITEWASH"
Former Attorney Grnernl of Penn
sylvania Snya He Ksoni
Nothing; of Blatter.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. I. Hampton L.
Carson, former attorney general of Penn
sylvania, whose name along with that of
Governor Pennypacker, waa yesterday
brought into the state capltol conspiracy
now on trial at Htirrlsburg, today made
emphatic denial that he waa in any way
connected with any alleged "whitewash"
of pcruona accused of having committed
frauds In ths building or furnishing of the
capltol.
Four months ago Mr. Carson, while at
torney general, was directed by Governor
Pennypacker to Investigate the charges of
fraud. During the Inquiry he received
written statements from all the men ac
cused, denying the charges of Irregularities.
During the cross-examination yesterday
Stanford B. Lewis, assistant to Joseph M.
Huston, architect of the capltol, testified
In effect that Huston's reply to the at
torney general waa practically framed at
a conference at which Governor Penny
packer, Attorney General Caraon, Auditor
General Snyder and Lewis were present.
Lewis said the latter was so framed that
It would dovetail Into the repliea of other
state officials to the attorney general.
Former Governor Pennypacker declines to
discuss the case.

TEMPERANCE PEOPLE ROASTED
Chairman Jenkins Spenka of Senti
ment and lta Street Be
- for l.nw.
WASHINGTON'. Feb. R.-The feature of
the hearing of the anti-saloon representa
tives before tho house Judiciary committee
was the speech of Judge John Jenkins,
chairman of the committee, to Rev. 8. B.
Nicholson, who spoke for the American
Anti-Saloon league. Mr. Nicholson had
urged the adoption of the Llttleflcld, or
some similar bill, prohibiting thla progress
of liquor Into prohibition territory. He said
men full of sentiment would appear there
and urge the committee to report a bill
and congressh to pass a law to be tested
before the supreme court.
"Your argument," said Mr. Jenkins, "Is
to put It up to the supreme court. We
are not here to report bills that appear to
us to be unconstitutional. It Is our duty
to prevent. If possible, the passage of Isws
that are unconstitutional. I do not think
that we should listen to you sentimental
gentlemen when you try to overpersuade
us. We are trying to save this government
and do not want to be continually re
porting" our bills for the sake of Christian
ity or anything else that will be turned
down by the courts. I have been In pro
hibition territory and seen how the laws
were evaded. There I saw the men with
a prayer book In one and a knife for an
enemy In the other."
Mr. Nicholson explained that It was not
his intention to ask the committee to do
anything wrong.
Mr. Jenkins said that politics had noth
ing to do with the work of the Judiciary
committee.
NEW ORLEANS. Feb. 8. Cardinal
Gibbons' In an Interview on prohibition,
published today, said:
"I am persuaded that It la practically
Impossible to put prohibition Into ef
fect In a large community, and the best
means, therefore, to promote temperance
la to limit the number of saloons by
high license.
"In the country places I would sug
gest local option as a means for the
repression of intemperance. If In the
Judgment of the majority of voters the
sale should be entirely eliminated.
"Laws like prohibition that are cer
tain to be violated had best not be made,
for Incessant violation draws down upon
them disrespect."
PLAN TO REDUCE CAPITAL

atraln Flnanrinl PInn of
Foundries Compnny.
NEW YORK, Feb. 8. In consequence of
an Injunction requiring the American Steel
Foundries' company to show cause why
It should not be restrained from putting In
effect the proposed refinancing plan, t'm
special meeting of the stockholders of tint
corporation called today In Jersey City has
been adjourned until March 14.
The American Steel Foundries' company
Is a subsidiary of the United States Steel
corporation. After the adjournment of the
meeting today there was Informal talk
before Judge Gary, chairman of the board
of directors of the United States Bte!
corporation, and David Strauss, on whose
motion the Injunction was Issued. Judge
Gary took the ground that corporations
that are capitalized In excess of their
valuation must reduce their stock issues'
before they can pay dividends, 'which, he
said, can only be paid from the surplus.
Under the reorganization plan It la pro
posed to reduce tbe capital stock from XXI.
600.000 to $17,184,000. Mr. Strauss alleges that
the adoption of the plan would place th
property In the hands of the preferred
stockholders to satisfy the claims for ac
cumulated dividends.

t
LISBON, Feb. 8. With the church bells
tolling continually, the bodies of the mur
dered king and crown prince. In two golden
chariots, shrouded In black velvet and drawn
by eight hooded horses, were escorted by a
glittering funeral pageant today across Lis
bon to the Portuguese Pantheon, and laid
at rest beside their ancestors of the Bra
ganza dynasty. Seven hours elapsed from
the time the foreign princes and the special
ambassadors of all the powers gathered at
the palace for the ceremony until three
salvos of twenty-one guns and three volleys
of musketry, reverberating over the ter
raced and sun bathed hills and answered
by the British warships In the harbor, an
nounced that the last rites were over.
Not a single untoward Incident marred
the last act of Portugal's tragedy. The
vague forebodlnga proved baseless and
there Is a general feeling of relief tonight
that all panned well, In view of the po
litical turmoil. The great outpouring of
people along the line of procession was
noteworthy. They packed the pavements,
crowded the windows and choked the side
streets. While evidence of deep and popular
sorrow seemd to be absent, many stood
with uncovered heads and nowhere was ac
tual disrespect witnessed.
It was a grief-stricken palace; hearts
were turned in pity and strong men were
shaken at the scene in the private apart
ments where the special embassies were re
ceived. Neither Queen Amelio' nor the
Dowager Queen Maria Pia were to be seen,
but King Manuel carried himself as bravely
as he might, though deathly pale and on
the vige of a complete breakdown when
the ordeal was finished. The duke of Con
naught, Prince Eltel Frederick and In
fante Fernando," In addition (o verbal con
dolence, presented personal letters from
their sovereigns to Qie king, who was
greatly touched at these, messages. Tears
that were almost constantly In his eyes
several times overflowed.
When the members of the court and the
special representatives of foreign countries
entered the chapel for the last brief service
the king remained behind. Neither he nor
the two queens followed the cortege to the
church. Trovvlolent death of hla father, it
Is explained, absolved King Manuel from
conforming with the t.aditlon of walking
beside the dead to the grave. His absence
and the absence of Queen Amelle and the
dowager queen has caused universal com
ment, behig generally attributed to other
reasons.
Klnar Takca Leave of Dend.
While the cortege was being organized
the members of the royal family took their
last view of their dead at the palace.
Prayers were oald In the royal chapel by
the priests and then the two coffins were
carried out, the king, the two queens and
the Duke of Oporto marching behind.
Manuel was clad in the uniform of a mid
shipman. The two queens, who were robed
in the mourning garb of English widows,
their black cloaks covered by a long veil,
carried, as did the king, tall lighted can
dles. They left the coffins at the portals
of the palace.
The funeral procession left the Necessl
tades palace at exactly half past 11 on its
march of over three and a half miles to
the Church of San Vicente, which Is at
tached to the royal pantheon where the
bodies of King Carlos and the crown
prince finally were laid to rest.
Yielding to earnest solicitations. King
Manuel did not take part in the proces
sion. He and his mother, Queen Amelie,
and the mother ot the late king, Queen
Maria Phi, were present at the services
In the mortuary chapel and followed the
coffins to the door the chapel, whence they
returned to the palace. During the morning
King Manuel received the missions sent to
Lisbon by sovereigns and chiefs of statu
of foreign countries. Neither queen was
present at this function.
The funeral cortege arrived at the Church
of San Vicente at ! o'clock. It traversed
the scene of the tragedy in the Prada do
Commerce In absolute quiet.
In contrast to the sombre occasion" the
day commenced with glorious weather, the
sun shinglng brilliantly and the air filled
with the slow pealing of church bells.
Messengers were seen passing through the
streets bearing wreaths and floral pieces.
Some of these were remembrances from
foreign kings and rulers that were being
sent to the palace. The golden letters on
two such offerings showed that they were
from the emperor of Russia and king of
Norway.
Clarions sounded down the principal ave
nue, announcing the approach of the regi
ments which later followed the funeral
procession. ,Then from afar came the fun
fare of bugles, summoning the cavalry,
which developed rapidly to guard the route
of the cortege. In addition to these prep
arations the streets were filled with swiftly
moving vehicles conveying dignitaries to
the palace.
Diplomats In Gilded Carriages.
Apart from the hearses themselves, which
were covered with heavy draperies arid
trappings of black velvet ' bordered with,
fringes of gold, the feature of the cortege
that attracted the most attention were the
glided state coaches of the sixteenth, sev
enteenth and eighteenth centuries, which
were reserved for the use of the foreign
missions and tire highest dignitaries of

The funeral cortege of the murdered man
was an unique spectacle. The body was

ington & Eastern railroad for half a mile.
Thence it was transferred to a pushcar on
tho narrow guage road of a lumber com

ing the river again on the Panhandle aldo.
Thence It was carried about 300 yards to
the grave.
The attendants walked, forming a pro
cession In the track behind the car which
served as a hearse. Could one be used,
there Is no hearse in the town. Neither Is
there an undertaker In the region.
Beech Hargls, the murderer, waa per
mitted to view the body of his father be
fore It was taken from the house. He
was greatly overcome and fell on his
knees and said: "Iord, have mercy." He
was returned to the gloomy Breathitt
county Jail, Just about the hour that the
body of his father was being taken from
the house, and did not see the procession
as it started on Its way.

Missionaries of Peace Placat Jack'
aonlnna with Soft Talk of Their
Fidelity to the Peerlesa
Leader.
Mr. Bryan, alarmed at the significant
of the war In the ranks of Omaha and
Douglas county democracy, convinced thai
the effect of the Jacks and Jims' conflict
will spread and Is spreading to other statel
and Into the arena of national politics, hat
undertaken, through the medium of leadln
democrats of Nebraska, a settlement ot tin
difficulties.
W. H. Thompson of Grand Island and
State Senator F. W. Ashton of Hall county
hastened to Omaha Saturday, tt la said, at
the special solicit an ion of the Peerlesj
Leader, to put out the fire and repair the
damaged house of democracy.
Both Mr. Thompson and Senator Ashton
admit that whllo they do not so much fear
the ef$Vct of the local fight on the party of
Nebraska, they do regard with apprehen
sion Its Influence In other states. Thry
admit the Impression Inevitably haa gom
abroad that Bryan haa opposition at home.
But they are not willing to admit this Im
pression to be correct. They say It Is not
fight on Bryan, that both Jacks and Jims
are true to him.
Peace Be With Yoa.
"Pax VoblBctim," said Mr. Thompson ti
the Jacka and Jims when he arrived, and
held a conference first with Lee Heriman
of the Jacksonlans and at noon with Mayor
Dahlman of the Dahlman Democracy.
As Ed Berryman, of the Jacks, predicted
at the Thursday evening meeting of th.
Dahlman Democracy, the chief will allow
no fight In Douglas county. Mr. Berryman
asserted that he knew "those above us will
take a hand It Is against the 'Interests oC
Mr. Bryan that we should have a fight.
We must not have trouble because of the
Interests of local celebrities, when Mr.
Bryan's Interests are at stake."
And W. H. Thompson, the "Little Grant."
ex-candidate for governor and senator, with
State Senator F. W. Ashton of Hall county,
appeared on the scene. Mr. Thompson said
at the Paxton after talking wtth Lee Herd
man: "This Douglas county, or rather Omaha
fight. Is hurting the democratic party In
the state and ot course It Is hurting Mr.
Bryan. It will not hurt him at home, but
'the Impression has gone out that there Is
one faction In the metropolis of hla'twme
state, perhaps In his state, wtilch Is with
htm and one faction which la against him.
Aa a matter ot fact, I do not bellev the
Dahlman Democracy Is one bit more loyal
to Mr. Bryan than the Jacksonlans. I be
lieve they are both loyal to his Interests
and It Is to be regretted that ther la
trouble In Douglas county."
Ashton Snma It l'p. 1
Senator Asliton Interposed a remark here
of deep significance, and, as the senator
saJd, described the Douglas county situa
tion to a "tee."
"Both factions' have made d foola of
themselves," ho said, and then drew pas
sionately at a black cigar, while Mr.
Thompson continued to talk.
"Out over the state wo recogniie neither
Dahlmanlsm nor Jacksonlanism," he said.
"They are all democrats to us. hut I am
speaking of other states, when I say that
it is hurting Mr. Bryan and the democratic
party to have war in Us own state. Aa
for Mr. Dahlman, the position to which he
has been elevated, as mayor of Omaha, in
a city which Is republican, and to a place
on the national committee, naturally make
him feel that h has some rights to recog
nition, or at least his friends have, when
It comes to sending delegates to th na
tional convention. But, I understand he
has taken hia personality out of the fight
in Omaha. 1 do not believe that Mr. Dahl
man lias any political ambitions. When
the democratic candidates for governor are
referred to, the only ones I hav heard
mentioned are Sliallenhergtr, Berg and
W. V. Allen.
"Mr. Dahlman would certainly hav told
me if lie ever thought of being a candidal
for governor of Nebraska. He haa never
mentioned the candidacy to me. I do not
believe lie takes any ot the talk about hla
candidacy seriously."
Thompson ICvndea Question.
Mr. Thompson declined to discuss th
popularity of Mr. Dahlman out over the
state of Nebraska, and asked directly if
Mayor Dahlman waa seriously considered
as a candidate for any office by the demo
crats, he replied: '
"That Is not for me to answer. I do not
care to talk about any personal man.
As to George W. Iterge, both Mr. Thomp
son and Senator Ashton said they under

democratic party in the state and waa not
