LONDON, May 23.—It is apparent that the time is not distant when the Earl of Dunraven, who was once a contestant for the honor of lifting the America’s cup, will be the leader of the Irish Na- tionalist party and, within a decade, be the Premier of an Irish Parliament sit- ting in Dublin. ‘The authorship of the idea of the pres- ent Irish land purchase bill, which has brought Ireland and England closer than in centuries, is generally attributed to Dunraven, although the parliamentary parent of the bill is Colonel Shaw-Taylor, who doesn’t own an acre of Irish land, while Dunraven is a large owner. The Irish land bill, which has made po- litical bedfellows of the Radical Irish Na- tionalist and the most stubborn of British Tories, is meeting approval everywhere, despite its ultimate cost to the English treasury. The bill, conceived and ex- pounded in circumstances unique in the history of Ireland, is an epoch-making measure in the highest sense. It is backed by a consensus of parliamentary opinion never before known taken on any posi- tive piece of Irish legislation, and is backed almost unanimously by the Irish people. England and )lrollnd are mno longer enemies. Healy, Redmond, O'Brien | BOOKER T. WASHINGTON and Davitt are now names spoken praise- fully by Tory leaders. —_——————— ‘Wicconsin Reaches Honolulu.

NORFOLK, Va., May 23B.—The fire which practically destroyed the machine shops, roundhouses, warehouses and min- or offices of the Seaboard Air Line Rail- way last night entailed a loss of about $750,000. The property was partially in- sured. Although numerous accidents oc- curred at the fire and among the crowds surrounding the conflagration, only one man, a machinist named James Herold, sustained injuries that will probably re- sult in his death.
