HUSH LAND BILL
PRESENTED TODAY
Proposes Free Grant of Sixty
Million Dollars.
INTENSE INTEREST IS SHOWN.
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.

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.
