Believed that Adoption of Measure Would Promote Peace and Content ment In Ireland—Many Notables At tend Session of Parliament. London, -March 25.—The Irish secre tary, Mr. Wyndham, introduced the i government's long anticipated Irish 1 land bill in the house of commons to day. 1 It proposes a free grant of $00,000,- Ouo for the purposes of the bill. The keen interest felt in this new legisla- ; | tion which, it is hoped, will promote I , peace and contentment in Ireland, will be evidenced by the crowded house. The peers’ gallery and the distinguish ed strangers’ galleries filled and there has been no such gathering of mem bers of parliament since the opening of the session. Michael Davitt, the father of the land league, celebrated his fifty-seventh birthday by re-enter ing the house for the first time since he ceased to be a member, in order to hear chief secretary for Ireland. Mr. Wyndham, who was heartily cheered when he arose to speak, an nounced at the outset that the gov ernment thought cash aid was neces sary for the fulfillment of the pro- j posed scheme, but it attached greater importance to the credit operation than to the cash operations. He then un- j folded the scheme which provides for , an advance of money for Ihe pur chase of land by the tenants. The advance will be in the shape of rash and stock, hut in order to en- j able the cash to be raised a new ! stock is to he floated. It will he called “guaranteed 2% per. : cent stock,” and will be unredeemable ! for 30 years. Mr. Wyndham doubted if $500,000,- I 00O of the stock would be needed, it will be issued at the rate of $25,000,000 | yearly for the first three years, and 1 alter wards possibly in larger sums. | In addition to this, the government proposed a free grant of $00,000,000 to he raised by additions to the stock, i the interest and sinking fund of which will be borne by the treasury and the ; maximum annual charge of which will j not exceed $1,950,000. The Irish secretary explained that 1 while the maximum charge on the English treasury would not exceed j $1,975,000 in a single year, the reduc- | tion in the cost of the administration 1 of Ireland would amount to $1,250,000. The advance tenants through the | provisions of the land hill are limited ; to $2,500, in the congested districts, and $5,000 elsewhere. The bill will ‘ become effective Nov. 1. Mr. Wynd- j ham said $750,000,000 could he safely advanced on Irish land, but he thought the scheme would not involve $500,- 000,000. Mr. Wyndham, finished speaking at 4:10 p. ni. Later the Irish land bn passed its first reading. CHARTERS MAY BE RETURNED. — Generally Thought Suspended Masonic Lodges Will Be Reinstated. New York.

BREAK IN ALARMS BRITONS Fall To Below 90 Is Not Improbable. GOVERNMENT MAY INTERCEDE. Further Decline Will Necessitate Every British Bank Reorganizing Its Reserves—Americans Buy on Belief that Bottom Has Been Readied. London, March 25.—The possibility of consols being in the eighties has created consternation not only among speculators and investors, but in the great banking interests, who, for years, have written down their consol hold ings at 90, though the market price was considerably above par, 90 being considered the lowest possible price the securities was likely to'-fo. Should consols go down to and re main below 90, every British bank will be obliged to reorganize its reserves, get out new balances upon a fresh b- sis. Such a serious contingency, he ever, is scarcely believed possible. A report is current that the gove:n- men iay step in as a buyer of its own securities, which would immediately restore the -national credit. But the stringency in the money market is not expected to be alleviated, for if the Bank of England eases its conditions the c ntinent, which is a big lender, will withdrawn loans in order to get more iuvorable terms elsewhere. There was some slight American buying to day in the belief that rock-bottom had be< n reached. One purchase of $75,(m*0 for an Anglo-American firm caused a temporary rise of which, however, was soon obliterated by in vestors : oiling. TO RELIVE THE GHETTO.
