DUBLIN. April 11. (Special.) The death
of Rev. Monseigneur Bernard McFadden,
pariah priest of Donegal, recalls one of
the tragedies of the "Plan of Campaign"
day about twenty-five years ago. Father
McFadden, when a young priest, waa In
vharge of the pariah of Gweedore in a dla
trlct which waa one of the worst euffarera
from rack rents and absentee landlordism.
Ha waa particularly active In the "Plan
of Campaign" and) the castle authorise
determined to arreat him. With charac
teristic stupidity they sent a larire force
of pollen and soldiers to Gweedore one
Sunday morning and while the priest waa
aying- man they surrounded the chapel.
"When he came out the officer of constabu
lary In charge stepped forward and on the
.Up ot the chapel laid his hand on Father
McPrndoVn's shoulder and declared him
under arrest.
' There was a movement among the crowd
iuid the officer loat hla head and drew his
sword. Someone In the crowd called out:
"Ha Is going to kill our priest" and a vol
ley of stones was thrown. One of them
atruck the officer on the head, killing him
Instantly, and several other soldiers and
policemen were soverely Injured. The en
tire party was routed and forced to leave
Oweedors without having effected the ar
rest of the priest.' A few days later Father
McFadden walked In Llfford. the county
town, and surrendered. He was tried and
sentenced to a term of Imprisonment,
which he served. An Incident of hla trial
has become historic. The prosecuting
counsel asked him If there were any law
In Gweedore. "Yea, I am the law In
Owfedore," was the priest's reply. During
hia later yeara Father McFadden had been
an enthusiastic worker for the revival of
the ancient Irish tongue. A couple of
years ago ha waa apoplnted an honorary
canon of Westminster cathedral In Ixn
dnn and lie preached tha Irish sermon
there on Bt. Patrick's day last year. Ha
was also, a dean of tha dtoceoe of Raphoe.
F.vleted Tenants Reinstated.
Curiously enough, there has Just been an
other erho ot the "Plan of Conapaign" days,
fortunately of a ' mora pleasant character.
Nnio of the famous evicted tenanta of
Conlroe have Just been relnatated on their
holdings in Bouth Weiford twenty yeara
after their eviction. Not all of tha tenanta
have been reinstated, and not all of those
who have been reinstated have secured
their old homes, for the sufficient reasons
tha'. some of the tenants are dead, and
uome of the old homes have ceased to
exist. New homes have been prepared for
those who have been relnatated, however,
knd all the small holdings have been In

economic wise.
One of the most striking pronouncements,
showing how tired the Ulster farmers are
becoming of being used at rat'a paws to
pull England's chestnuts out of the fire,
lias Just been issued by Mr. Lindsay Craw
ford, grand master of the Independent Or
der of Orangemen, appealing tor united
action among all Irishmen to aecura a wide
xtonston of the principle of self-government
for Ireland. He declares that the
time has come for every Ulsterman who de

SAN' DIEGO. Cal.. April 11. The Atlan
tic fleet of sixteen first class battleships
began today the last leg of Its ortelnnlly
planned cruise from Hampton Roads to
the oGlrlen Gate. The four divisions of the
fleet weighed anchor at 4 p. ni. and three
quart?rs of an hour later were threading
their way out of Magdalen bay In the wake
of the flagship Connecticut. The com
mander's pennant on the after bridge of
the flagship was that of Charles M.
Thomai, who began the Journey to the
Pacific ns hea-.l of the second spadron, but
who was promoted to command during the
enforced absenco of Rear Admiral Kvans,
the coniniander-ln-chlef. Sailing in a sin
gle column formation, according; to dis
patches received here, the ships passed
Sail Rock and, rounding Entrada Point,
one of the headlands marking the gratowny
to the harbor, turned In a long circle to
the north. Six black-hulled destroyers of
the .torpedo flotilla gave a parting salute
to the big white vessels and the historic
stay of the American battleships In the
Mexican bay was at an end.
An easy Journey of & miles lies before
the fleet, which is scheduled to arrive here
and anchor off Coronado Beach at 1 p. m.
on Tuesday. Admiral Thomas has allowed
sixty-nine hours for the run up tho coast,
requiring an a'verage of only nine1 knots
an hour The ships started away at the
usual crulRing speed of ten H ots, however,
and will alow down during the latter part
of the Journey. The early hour of depart
ure was fixed to guarantee against the
possibility of delay In a fog.
When the ships reach San Diego they
will have logged 139 knots since their
detarture from Hampton Roads. The Con
necticut has 1.2 knets additional on ac
count of the trip to this port last woek
to bring Admiral Evans ashore and its
subsequent return to Magdalena bay.
Every coast city from San Diego to Son
Francisco Is to see the fleet during the
next four weeks, it having been announced
that at points where no atop Is scheduled
the ships will pa ssclose to shore as poa
slble, always being well within the range
of vision of persons gathered close along
the bluffs and beaches. Preparations for
the four days stay of the ships at San
Diego are practically complete and the city
is gaily decorated with flags and patrl-
ol-c bunting. In thla community oi vm'ju
Inhabitants, a fund of nearly SI9.000 has
has been raised for the entertainment or
the officers and men of the navy. Inter
est In the coming of the ships Is Intense,
the strong personal sentiment being re

wave a "welcome to our fleet."

not

est among farmers to grow a little better
crops than were ever grown before, that
they might feel that there was something
about farm life we have never seen be
fore," said Mr. Jones. "We must seek to
produce a few more bushels of grain and
of a little better quality than we have
ever produced. None of the great corn
states produce any better corn than can

For many years I have prayed daily that

NEW YORK. April 11. Oovemor Charlca
E. Hughes was endorsed as New York's
republican candidate for president at that
party'a state convention held today, and
four delegates-at-large, with their alter
nates, were instructed to uao all honorable
means to bring about his nomination. The
four delegates-at-Iaige aro General Stewart
L. Woodford, ex-Mayor Seth low ot this
city, Frederick R. Haszard of Syracuse and
K. II. Butler of Buffalo.
Tho convention the thirteenth held by
tiie republican party to elect delegatcs-at -large
to a national convention was a repe
tition In Its distinctive feature of the,
Oneida convention of 18W, when Roseoe
oCnkllng sought vainly to have not only
the deleKati s-at-large. but thn congres
sional delegates also Instructed for Ulyssej
S. Grant.
Sharp Debate on Minority Report.
10x-8tato Senator Edgar T. Uraeketl of
Saratoga, president of the Hughes state
lengue, precipitated a sharp rtrbnte by pre
senting a minority report from the com
mittee on resolutions to amend the resolu
tion endorsing Governor Hughes and to In
struct the deleg itcs-at-lnrgo to work for
him and the other delegates to persist
ently lalwir for his nomination until a nom
ination Is made.
Mr. Bracked s action caused the thou
sand odd delegates and the hundreds of
spectators who filled tho gallery much ex
citement. When the debate had reached
a point of spirited, tension Speaker Wads
worth moved that the question of adopting
the majority report of the committee on
resolutions, ceniuitdng the endorsement of
Governor Hughca along tho lines of the
convention endorsement of Levi I. Morton
in 1S5S and that ot President Roosevelt in
limo, be put to thn conventkm viva voce,
with only a fe wscatterlng "noes" heard
above the shouts of the bulk of the dele
gates. Westchester Ktarts . Troohle.
Premonition of a turbulent session was
felt before the opening of the convention,
when the Westchester county delegation .it
a caucua decided to protest against tha en
dorsement of Hughes by voting against Mix
Hughes resolution and declaring for an un
Instructed delegation. This plan waa nulli
fied by the unexpected action of Senator
Brackett In submitting his minority report.
In meeting this situation the majority of
the convention adopted the platform by a
viva voce vote and the Westchester dele
gallon lost all chance of voting as a dele
gation against Hughes' endorsement.
The new republican state committed
elected at the convention today held a
brief session immediately after the ad
journment of the convention and re-elected
former Lieutenant Governor Timothy 1.
Woodruff aa chairman.
Platform Regarded as Forecast.
Believing that the platform foreshadowed
in several particulars the platform that will
be adopted by the Chicago national repub
lican convention more tiian usual ln.erebl
attached to its recommendations, whhh
were confined practically to national Issues.
Congressman J. Sloal Fassett ot Elmlta,
although not a member ot tho committee
on resolutions, sulci in an Interview that he
hud taken the resolutions to Washington
a few days ago and carefully considered
them there and that he felt ussurcd that
they would be most satisfactory lo all tiio
delegates.
The platform endorses tn strong lettus
tho administration of President Roosovolt
und Governor Hughes and commends the
policies of the federal administration. A
revision of the tariff Is favored and the
action of congress In declining to revise
the la Biff by piecemeal is endorsed, changes
are advocated in the currency laws lo pro-
vide a more clastic and satisfactory mone-
tury system.
' The following were chosen delegates and
J alternates to the national convention:
felegutes General Stewart L. Woodford
of New York, for Mayor Seth Low of New
York, Frederick R. Hazard of Syracuse and
Edward H. Butler of Buffalo.
Alternatea Senator John Raines, Thomas
P. Peters of Brooklyn, Normal J. Gould of
Seneca Falls and Charles W. Anderson of
New York.
The convention waa called to order by
Chairman Woodruff, who named ex-Governor
Odell and Representative Parions t
escort Temporary Chairman M. Linn Bruce
to the platform. Messrs. Odell and Par
sons werti greeted with cheers as they
performed their duty, one on either hand
of Bruce. The latter, on reaching tl e s'ag1,
