IRISH UNIVERSITY BILL Secretary Birrell Introduces Measure in Commons. London, April 1.—Chief Secretary of Ireland Birrell introduced his Irish university bill in the house of com- mons. There was a full attendance of members and a large number of visitors crowded the galleries. The central idea of Mr. Birrell’s project is to found by.royal charter two new universities in Ireland with headquarters in Dublin and Belfast. The secretary explained that the Dub- lin university would be composed of three constituent branches, two of which, Cork and Galway, exist already and the third a new college to be founded at Dublin. The existing Queen’s college at Belfast is to con- stitute the proposed new Northern university, which probably will be called the University of Belfast. Opin- ion at present is divided as to whether to call the Dublin seat of learning St. Patrick’s university or the University of Ireland. A. J. Balfour warmly approved the broad lines of Mr. Birrell's scheme and John Dillon, on behalt of the Irish party, also expressed approval and assured the government that it would have Catholic support in carry ing the project through. MADAME ANNA GOULD iLL Stricken Suddenly While Paying a Visit to Friends. New York, April 1.—Madame Anna Gould, who recently secured a divorce from the Count de Castellane; is ill with bronchitis and stomach trouble in the apartment of her friends, Mr. and Mrs. Tyler Morse, in the Hotel St. Regis. Madame Gould was said also to be in a very nervous condition. She went to the St. Regis after a conference with her brothers and sister at the home of Miss Helen Gould, where Madame Gould had been staying since her arrival from France. It is said that Madame Gould went to the apartments of Mr. and Mrs. Morse expecting to pay them a visit for sev- eral days and that her illness devel- oped unexpectedly. Since arriving in New York Madame Gould has met the Prince de Sagan several times in company with Mr. and Mrs. Morse and there has been much discussion of the possibility of -an announcement that she has be- come engaged to marry the prince. Some of the members of the Gould family are reported to be opposed to such an engagement. paper; the same ruling applies to the weekly paper which one year. the mail. was willing to pay for it. who still owe us. old friends of the paper. us some time, and prompt attention to this letter will save It will be the policy of the Pioneer to mail in a your prompt and careful attention. Newspaper Postage Laws. On and after April 1 the new ruling of the postmaster general regarding the postage rates for newspapers will take effect and the Pioneer desires to make some arrangement with all its subscribers that none may miss an issue of the paper. The new ruling of the postmaster general requires that all issues of the daily, when more than three months in arrears, shall be mailed at the rate of one cent per is in arrears for more than The ruling does not effect subscribers of the Daily Pioneer whose papers are delivered by carrier boys; but does effect all papers received by subscribers through The Pioneer is the oldest paper in Beltfami county, and we have never re- fused to send the Daily or Weekly to any citizen who desired either publication and Owing to this liberal practice there are a number on our subscription list who get the paper by mail who must make some kind of a settlement within the next few days or their paper will be discontinued. It can readily be seen that the extra postage of $3 per year on the Daily and 52 cents on the Weekly will be quite an item and one which we will be unable to pay. We hope that the next few days will bring in remittances from a great many If you cannot pay write and tell us so, as we can then send you a note for your signature and thus fix the account and continue to send you the paper.

COMPLAINS TO WASHINGTON Czar's. Government Seeks Explanation of Official’s Action, but It Is Said the Latter Is Simply Obeying His Instructions. St. Potershurg, April 1.—The Rus- slan government is disturbed by the attitude assumed by Fred D. Fisher, the American .consul at Harbin, in the matter of recognizing the jurisdic- ‘tion of Russia in Mashurla Mr:, Figher .insists that Chinese sover- elgnty in Manchuria is supreme and furthermore he has supported the pro- tests of China against the establish- ment by Russia of municipalities in the rallroad zone at Harbin and Chailar and his attitude in this Russo- Chinese difficulty has prompted Rus sla to seek an explanation of his course both at the American embassy here and in Washington. Mr. Fisher is accredited to China and since his arrival in Harbin in Jan- uary, 1907, he has consistently refused to recognize or admit that he should have anything to do with the Russian administration of the tervitory. He has béen firm in his assumption thay he was. gceredited solely to China and he has declined to act on the sugges- tion conyeyed to him by an official ot the Russian railroad administration that he should secure the permission of General Horvath, the Russian gov- ernor, o{ Halbin ‘before opening his consulate or raising the Amerlcan, flag over the puilding. Under, the treaty of 1896 Russia claims exclusive control over'the rail- road zone in Manchuria as well as the right fo_erganize independent self- governing. municipalitfes. The foreign office here expresses the belief that:it would be decidedly to the interest of the United States to recognize the Russian administration of Manchuria, Inasmuch-'as foreign residents share in the privileges of this administration. SIMPLY OBEYING ORDERS. Cansul Fisher Not Acting on His Own Initiative. ‘Washington, April 1.—It is admit- ted at the state department that the status of the American copsul at Har- bin has been made the svibject of rep- resentations to Washington by the Russian government, But while nego- tlations are pending the officials are loth to discuss it. e important fact is developed, however, that the Amer- ican consul, Mr. Fisher, fs not acting on his own initidtive in declining to seek the permission of Russia to exer- cise his consular fumctions. Om the contrary, it is understood that be is simply executing ‘a carefully consid- ered plan of the state department to bring about through proper means & recognition; not only by Russia but by other nations: interested in' Manchuria, children of James McCarthy, who for twenty years have been trying to find him, discovered him on the poorfarm here.

Judige’s Order Submitting “Lid” Ques- tion to Voters. Chicago, April 1.—Justice Orrin N. Carter of the state supreme court has decided that an appeal of the elec- tion commissioners from-a recent de- cision by Judge C. M. Walker of the county circuit court' in the Sunday saloon ballot case acted as-a writ of of the integrity of Chinese posses- slons. It was long ago perceived that to admit the right of political control of either Russia or Japan over the so- ~called “railroad. zone” in Manchuria, including as they do the principal commereial depots and capable as they are..of -indefinite . expansion of boundaries-at the whim: of leasehold- ers, .would--soon completely = defeat John Hay'’s dream of ‘“‘the open door” in Manchuria.

This statement, made at the White House, is said to be taken as a bappy ending of the Hill incident. 1 The attitude of the American ad- | ministration is that Mr. Hill's em- | inence as a statesman, scholar and diplomat has not suffered the slight- est impairment in view of the dis- claimer of the German emperor of any | adverse expression regarding him and of the hearty recogmition of Mr. Hill's personality and standing contained in the recent statement of President Roosevelt. At the German embassy it was stated that; nothing more is to be said regarding ‘the Hill matter from that quarter. CONSIDER INCIDENT CLOSED Qermans Say Hill Will Find His Posi- tion Agreeable. Berlin, April 1.—The advices re- cejved at the foreign office from Wash- ington indicate that in the American oapital, as well as in Berlin, the Hill episode is regmrded as having been happily adjusted. The best diplomatic opinion is that if Mr. Hill chooses to eome te Berlin he will find his posi- tion not only agreeable but more im- portant than would have been the case it the incident had not happened. Charlemagne Tower, the retiring I eri¢ ambassador, in fulfillment of s letter to President Roosevelt last September, in which he said that he wogld ask leave to resign early next gummer, has now fixed the date at June 1 and bas so informed the presi- dent.
