Balfour, chief secretary for Ireland, introduced a new Irish laud bill In the house of commons today. It li of much wider scope than 3ohn Morley's when be hm' chief secretary for Ireland under the late liberal government and la upon the principle of purchase by the occupying tenant' a being the ultimate aolution of the land Question.

Tue bill la to facilitate the purchase of holdings and prevent losses from having tent levied on hit improvement. It em-Kulioil anntA nriknasal of the hill of 18JG and modified some others. They prj-posed that a tenant should be deemed, on the payment of two years' arreun, to be in just possesion of hia holding, leaving the landlord to recover the t-maiuder of the arrears In the ordinary way. Continuing, 'Balfour id the government had decided not to alter the statutory term of fifteen yeara for fixing a fair rentt The hill, Balfour aaid, extended the power of the congested district board, ennbliiw? it to borrow to the "extentof fl.000.0lM).

With regard to evict ed. 'tenants, he said the government had already declared they could not consent to the use of public money, believing that aid should come from private sources; tout they are prepared to re- enact the clause of the act for jear, and so act as mediators. Balfour concluded by saying the blU was an honest endeavor to facilitat the substitution of peasant ownership for dual owenrship. After hearing Balfour's speech, th opinion expressed in the lobby was that bill which was such a complexity as to occupy three hours its csp-auatiou tiad little prospect of passing at this.ses-ion of parliament, in view of the pro-loused debates expected on the education bill. When Balfour concluded, John Morley, who was chief secretary or 1 remind the late liberal cabinet, said that it was Impossible to criticise such a comp.ex bill until he had teen it printed, but it was evident that it bristled- with objectionable feature! and would require a deal of amendment in committee'.

IS WANTED AT ELD It Handcuffed a Van and Then BoW ed HU House. STRAY BITS OF SEWS AND GOSSIP The capture made by Chief MeMana-my and Officer Younger in Webb City Saturday last of Raymond While proves to be one of the most importance says the Joplin Herald. Immediately upon hia ar rest the chief of police telegraphed the marshal of Kldon, and yesterday J. A. McElyea, marshal of that place, arrived to take the prisoner buck for 4rial.

White ia chared with 'burglary. It is suspected be is one of the five who broke into the residence of Samuel Newton in Eldon, on the night of September 19, 1805. The burglars crawled in upon the sleeping man and made a mnrderous assault upon him, and winding up by placing a pair of handcuffs upon his wrists, in which position be hid for hours before being relieved. The servant girl employed by Mr. Newton heard the noise made by tbe burglars and attempted to make her escape from the building by an outside stairway and give the alarm to the officers.

She succeeded In gaining the sidewalk, wben she was intercepted by one of the gang who was standing guard on the outside, and an attempt was made to strangle her. She fouirht heroically, aud, by a fortunate circumstance tripped her assailant upon a Jog in the sidewalk. She then ran to police headquarters, giving the alarm. The robbers were notified by their companion of the of the girl and hurriedly left thf, building. They secured five dollars frt Mr.

Newton's trousers, not having time to blow ooen the safe in the resilience, which contained several thonsnnd dollar. 'Their -team and carriage waa hitched near by "and cutting the hitch straps they drove oft in a mad rush for liberty, pursued by the officers." Tbey secured their rig In California. about twelve miles from Eldou, and Irove back to that city. Slipping away on en early moriiing freight train, all es caped for the time being. But White luid been recognized and a reward was )fTcred for his capture, which tbe Joplin officers will secure.

White was overhauled in Mnrccline, in November, but put np a atralig plea of Innocence, stating be' was a stranger there with a wife and family, and was going to locate in business. The officer, instead of locking him up. placed him under guard, from whom White es- enped before the errlvnl of F.ldon officers. This was the lnt beard of him until he was located in Cripple Creek, Colo. An effort was made to overtake him there, but the fellow was too shrewd to be caught napping and left before he could be aporehended, and was only overhauled by the keen scent of the Joplin police force, which never misses its man.

White is not unknown in Jasper county. At ene tiijc he conducted a flint jauie at Ornnogo and worked the county airs with shell games and similar rackets, serving a Jail sentence onee. for liis crookedness in this eojinti, The Eldon othVerj will tuke White back to the accne of the burglary and an effort will be made to get bim to tell the names of his companions. Thus far he ba been very non-communicative. LOST TREA.SrjRE Is What a Party of Arkansas People arc Looking for.

Yesterday Frank Willis was culled upon to see what a certain lady and a couple of friends were doing at the Cave Spring says the Eureka Springs Echo. On arriving there, be found the party busily engaged in digging a bole, which bad already assumed proportions some live feet long and about two and a trait feet deep. On questioning, 'be ascertained the reason for the work being doue. It seems that the lady who is the prime mover in the affair, is in search of a Jar of gold, which she claims is hidden In this vicinity. The lady states that the treasure was revealed to her through vision, in which a gentleman- who died about the year 1SS9 figured.

Tbis is the foundation on which the work wns commenced, and the searchers are confident of success. J'- COL? ACQUITTED. The Empire Marshal lld Not Murder m. Mitchell.

Nobody knows what the depth there is, because tbs sounding Una broke op- on, the two occasions when It waa attempted to reach the bottom. Upon the first cast being made by Capt Balfour, of the Penguin, 4,800 fathom were run out and tlien tiie wlro broke. Another attempt to Coke the depth was made some days later. Upon this occasion the captain mam aired to pass 4,900 fathoms, being (0,400 feet, or more than five miles of wire, over the ship's side.

Tbe wirs wss a UU running1 out when aaothea break oo- onrred. An Invention haW now been perfisoteiL however, which will enable rnartnesur-veyors to take the very deenst sound- lugs, no matter how great the depth may be. This new method of takina deep-sea soundings dispenses with ths Una altogether. The whole thing is so simple it is woudur somebody did not think of It before. A microphone is first let down over the side of the ship short distance beneath the surface of the water.

A delicately adjusted cnrtrldpre properly weighted with lesd Is then thrown overboard, andn officer oA deck notes the time by a stop watch the moment it strike the surface of the water. This cartridge sinks steadily, maintaining an erect position In the water as It goes down. Tbe moment It touches the bottom tbe cartridge explodes snd the microphone fnr above records (be evtqt Then 11 Is simple matter of calculation to ascertain the depth. The rate of lull of the cartridge in the water is known, as well as the rate of decrease ui Its speed as it reaches the deepest levels, where the water (a compressed by the weight of that above. With this table of figures In hand, the number Of seconds or minutes occupied by tbe cartridge In reaching the bottom forms the basis of the calculation.

By this means steamers ana sailing vessels ran taka soundings In water of any depth, without subsequent loss of time In wating to haul np the Hue. A vessel eon even take soundings while sailing ahead, aa the sound of the concussion may recorded In the microphone miles away, snd the latter may be dragged aitern. N. Y. Journal.
