IN IRISH LAND BILL L Measure Introduced That Will Be of Vast Benefit PROPOSES A LARGE MONEY GRANT. "he Irish Secretary Introduces ih: Goverrn^nt Land L>ilI Into iiritisii House of Commons. London. By Cable-.?The Irish Scoreary, Mr. Wynclhani, introduced the tovcrmncnt's long-anticipated Iriii: and bill in the House el Commons rVednesday afternoon. It proposes i :rant of $00,000,000 for the purposes )f the bill. Tenants are to pay 3VL pes ent. interest on loans from tbe gov;rnment. Mr. Wyndhani said h< bought the scheme would not involve iver $500,000,000, but that $750,OOTOO( :ould be safely advanced on Irish land Advances to tenants are limited to C2,100 in the congested districts and $5,)00 elsewhere. The bill aiso provides hat untenanted farms and grazlnj and shall be said to neighboring ten mis and that three commissioners t( >e- kr.g-.vn as estate commissioners sbal supervise the sales. The name of th< hree commissioners are' Michael Fin tune, secretary to the government! ikngal general and statistical departnent; FredericK S. French, one of th< irish land commissioners, and Willlan ?\ Bailey, one of the assistant commisdoners on the Irish land commission I'hey will be under the general contro if tbe Lord Lieutenant of Ireland rhey will become effective Novembe; 1st. The keen interest felt in this ncv egislation. which it is hoped will pro note peace and contentment in Ire and, was shewn by the crowded House The peers' gallery and the distinguish 2d strangers' galiery were filled am :bere has been no such gathering o nembers of Parliament since the open ng of the session. In the diplr-math ;allery sat United States Secretary Henry White, an interested spectator svhile almost every Irish peer listene< to Mr. Wyndbam's exposition of thi Dill. From an early hour this morning :he stone benches from the House o ftommons entrance to the doors of thi lobby, were packed with impatien Irishmen, among whom were man: presidents. Most of these went awa; without even seeing the inside of th< legislative chamber, the galleries o which were crowded as has not beti the case for many a day. Michae Davitt, the "father" of the Lam League, celebrated his 57th birthday b: re-entering the House for the first timi since he ceased to be a member, ifi or ier to hear the Chief Secretary for Ire land unfold his plans. For the most part the Liberal mem bers sat glum, the applause cominj from the Irish benches. A hush of ex pcctation fell on the assembly as Johi Redmond, the Irish leader, rose t< speak. If be refused to countenance the bill, its death and perhaps evei the government's downfall, was de reed. When the galleries of the Housi found him sympathetic and non-com initial, a feeling of relief pervaded al sides. What Sir Henry Campbell Bann-;man, the Literal leader, and th r\t V* f\rc eoM lin/1 offoft T W Russell, who with others criticised th rietails and various omissions in Mi Wyandham's plan, wound up with ; guttural and reluctant admission tha "it is a great bill." The passage of the first reading o the bill was followed bv the rush t the lobby, where ensued scenes tha might well make the ghost of Parnel turn in his grave. The tall form c Lord Dudley, Lord Lieutenant of Ire land, could be seen amidst a crowd o Nationalists, who scarcely a year ag' would rather have suffered anythin than discussed with the official head c the Irish party any question, Besid Lord Dudley stood the grizzled littl Sir Anthony McDonnell, the First, No tional Assistant Irish Secretary. Mr. Wyandham, who was heartil cheered when he arose to speak in th House, announced at the outset tha the government thought cash aid wa necessary for the fulfillment of the pre posed scheme, but it attached greatc importance to the credit operatio than to the cash operation. He the; unfolded the scheme, which provide for advances of money for the pur chase of land by the tenants. The ad vances will be in the shape of cash an net of stock, but in order to cnabl the cash to be raised a new stock is t be floated. It will be called "guaran teed" 2% per cent, stock and will b redeemable for 30 years. Mr. Wynd ham doubted if $500,000,000 of the stoe would be needed. It will be issued a the rate of $25,000,000 yearly for th first three years and afterwards possi bly in larger sums. In addition to thi the government proposed a free gran of $Cu,000,000 to be saised by addition to the stock, the interest and sinkin fund which' will be borne by th Treasury, and the maximum ann'*s charge of which will not exceed $1 950,000. Against this charge on th British Treasury the Irish governrnen proposes forthwith to commence rt duc>;ons in the cost of administrator amounting to $1,250,000 per annum foi ever.

Havana, By Cable.?The treaty of' reciprocity between Cuba and the United States as amended by the Senate of the United States, was approved at 8 o'clock Saturday night, inthe Cuban Senate, by a vote of 12 to* 9. This approval is absolute and is not hampered by any conditions, the-^ questionable time limit having been dispensed with through the receipts of the cable message from Secretary Hay, in which it was positively declared that President Roosevelt would call a special session of CongressThe purport of this assurance was transmitted to the Senate by President Palma and read at the beginning of the session, an understanding having been reached previously with Senators Bustamente, Capote and Dolz, composing the majority of thefo'eign relations committee with *h? objectionable condition in the report b. ing eliminated.

The- ? chief contention of the committeewas the action of the American Congress. Senator Sanguilly, in a long and impassioned speech against the ratification of the treaty, impressively pictured the gradual absorption or Cuba by the United State, in which he said the present action was onestep. He argued that it was disgraceful for Cuba to be a party to such a scheme. Senator Bustamente, in a brief and able final speech, cited various incidents of history to show that neither weak or wicked nations nutke commercial treaties, and predicted with certainty the results in this case. The vote was taken separ atelv in each section of the substitute report. The vote on the unconditional ratification of the treaty was 12 to 9; on the recommendation tothe executive it was 11 to 9.
