These are scat- tered among the various provinces ac- cording to their population. In ad- dition the Manchus and Mohamme- dans will be given special representa- tion and Peking has extra delegates. This special representation, it is ex- plained by government officials, will amount to about 200, so the total number of men who will pass on the form of government will be about 2,000. Promise Fair Primaries. Chinese election machinery is in- volved in such a tangle of mandates and decrees that foreigners are un- able to understand it and the press which is opposed to the government repetedly declares nobody really un- derstands it. However, the claim of President Yuan Shi-kai and his supporters is that the primaries will be held under absolutely fair condi- tions which will give the public a chance to select men representative of public sentiment. After the delegates have been se- | letced they will be given two slips. One registers approval of the repub- Tired, Nervous == Women /' Need the the digestion.

They will vote for their favorite form of government and the results will be tabulated in Peking. It was at first rumored the delegates in each province would select one of their number to come to Peking and reg- ister his vote as representing the delegation from his province, but President Yuan Shi-kai and his advis- ers have abandoned that plan say- ing they wish to keep the delegates free from Peking influence and will probably have the voting on form of government in the provicial capitals. With Yuan’s army in control of all the provincial capitals, the enemies of the monarchial plan insist there is no chance that a majority vote will be counted against the monarchy. There is also widespread critcism of the qualifications tentatively agreed upon for delegates to the citizens’ conference. Only men who have $20,000 worth of personal property or $30,000 worth of real property may qualify. They must also be men who have served the governments as mag- istrates or in higher official posi- tion for at least five vears and must have the equivalent of a high school education.

IRELAND HIT HARD BY EUROPEAN WAR Work of GonE%Mtficts Board Injuriously Afiected (Correspondence of the Associated: Press.) Dublin, Oct- 31.—Among benevol- ent activities in Ireland injuriously chance governing the testimony experts as just stated found not one instance in the scores of valuation cases that I have read. “It is not fair to imply dishonesty in the ordinary valuation experts. The differences exist largely in me- thods followed. Some of these vari- ations in methods have caused un- ending discussions by courts, com- missions, attorneys, Witnesses and students. “These variations are not theore- tical but real and tangible when reduced to dollars and cents. A few years ago to two expert witnesses in the Spring Valley Water Works case at San Francisco made estimates of the same plant for the same pur- pose and differed more than 30 per cent. That may be unusual but it is very ordinary for the variations to range from 100 to 150 per cent. Courts Differ. “Our highest courts and commis sions also differ. One commission— that of New Jersey—a few vears ago allowed 30 per cent for intangible values and then allowed 8 per cent. return on both tangible values in addition to a 2 per cent, deprecia- tion, making 10 per cent. in 13 Practically the same time the New York commission allowed nothing for intangible values, and said there was plenty of money seeking invest- ment at less than 6 per cent. The man who wrote that decision in New York has since lost his job, but he | was immediately employed as an attorney for one of the largest rail- road systems in the United States. “A review of the authorities leads ‘to this conclusion: Justice to the owners, and the best interests of the public, demand that reasonable expenses actually in- curred in the construction and es- tablishment of a public utility - en- terprise, reasonably necessary for public use, shall either be returned to the owners or shall constitute a part of the value on which the said owners are entitled to an adequate return’ That proposition is econ- omically, morally and legally correct I believe the public is wiliing to pay this in order to obtain the services thereby secured; and I beieve there money awaiting investment of reasonable terms where that is as- sured.” ABOUT 300,000 BABIES DIE BEFORE ONE YEAR of | but T have | affected by the war is the work of the | congested districts board. Established garded as inevitable in the financial circumstances of the time. The board, besides its agricultural work, does a great deal for the pro- motion of cottage industries. This too has been seriously hit by the war. Last | vear attention was called to a falling | off in the earnings of the board's lace and crochet classes due partly to the | competition of Austria which had started to make “Irish lace,” and | partly to the dullnese in the Ameri- can market. The outbreak of the war ; led to economies in dress. Lace was a luxury banned by savings commit- tees, and the workers of the west suf- fered for it. The earnings of the lace makers which had been close on thir- ty thousand pounds ($150,000) a year fell to eleven thousand. Thirty three lace classes to to be closed down and the earnings of the women employed came to an end. A few of them have fortunately been able to obtain em- ployment as knitters for the war of- fice. In some districts the amount earned by the women had exceeded the total rent roll, and out of their savings it was possible in numerous in- stances to buy stock for the land and | provide capital to improve permanent- | 1y the conditicn of these little farms, as well as to secure a fuller supply of milk for the children.

Power to Buy Land. The board has power to buy land whether tenanted or untenanted and to distribute it in allotments to the people. They can acquire this land compulsory where necessary, and un- der these powers have, after a long fight, succeeded in expropriating the | Marquis of Clanricarde whose estate near Loughrea was for a generation one of the hottest of storm centers in the land war. Within the past five years they have bought 672 estate of 1,660,783 acres at a total price of over $30,000,000, and there is a great deal more land that they might usefully buy and resettle. By direction of the treasury, in consequence of the war, these purchases have now been sus- pended. They may continue with what money they have but are restrained from any further undertakings till the war is over and possibly for long af- terwards.
