MR. REDMOND'S WARNING
A NEW IRELAND NOW.
British Rule Impossible — Notes and
Xercs of London.
<?T»»^!»] to Th* N*w-Tf>rlc Tribune by French C»bl*.>
nHlU'il 19J3: TU- The Tribune Association.)
London, March 16. 1 a. m.— John Redjnand
candidly admit? that the present attitude of the
Nationalist party in Parliament is due to the
prospect of the enactment of the exceptionally
penerous measure for the settlement of the Irish
lend question. Speaking at a great Nationalist
demonstration In Liverpool yesterday, he said it
was quite true that for the moment the Irish
members of Parliament put trust in Mr. "Wynd
riam's land bill, but he pointedly added that
word had been passed down the ranks to "keep
your powder dry." This remark lends color to
the belief that, although to Mr. Redmond may
.have been promised a good bill by the govern
ment, he Is not aware of the principal point* of
the scheme which Mr. Wyndham will Introduce.
The Irish leader Ik. however, very sanguine. He
does not expect that the bill will act like a magic
■wand, and at once transform Ireland Into a
paradise of contentment and wealth. The solu
tion of the land problem would not mean the
Fcttlement cf the whole Irish question, but it
would lay a broad and sure foundation toward
that end. and Mr. Redmond makes no secret of
his belief that England will not miss th« great
pet opportunity s he ever had of bringing peace,
prosperity and friendliness to her sister isle.
Mi Redmond wound up his speech yesterday
with a warning. If. he said, the British Gov
ernment dashed the hopes which had been
raised. Mr. Wyndham would have to leave Ire
land. Government of that country by England
under the present methods had become practi
,ally impossible, for with Catholic and Prot
eFtani and peer and peasant united they had a .
n? w Ireland, which would be as a unit in opposi
tion to the continuance of English rule.
Mr Chamberlain will not return to Parliament
a 'moment too soon. Premier Balfour has been
gradually losing control over his supporters,
with the result that discontent is spreading in
tie Unionist ranks, and the Fourth party. under
the energetic leadership of Winston Churchill, is
Hddlng to its numbers almost dally. The new
V deration act is not working smoothly, and
Nonconformists dislike It as much as ever.
There is some reason to believe that the passive
-, policy of Dr. Clifford will be carried
cut. though not. probably, to any great extent.
II is generally expected that Mr. Chamberlain
will make a strong effort to pull his party to
p»ther. He will appeal to the critics that have
appeared in the government's own household to
help In the work of reform as directed by the
leader?. He will endeavor to show them that
their present effort can only result in the de
struction of their own party, without bringing
rbout those changes that they so ardently de
tire.
The Pretoria correspondent of "The Morning
Post" understands that the Boer generals.
Botha, Delarey and Smuts, are taking part in
the Afrikander movement, which is not in ac
cordance with their utterances.
The European position of iron and steel ap
pears to be gradually strengthening. The Ger
man works, which for months have been ag
presslve competitors for the export business,
■re filled up with orders for near deliveries, are
refusing fresh orders where shortness of time is
MM essence of the contract, and have further ad
vanced prices, which are gradually getting
within measurable distance of those named in
pome of the British works. Since the beginning
of the year there has been a fairly satisfactory
upward movement on the Continent, which is
especially marked in materials which are most
Fought after by American buyers.
The e^neral election in Germany, which will
■ „ c place three months hence, has already pro
<su'-»d a plentiful crop of political meetings of
th» ■ariouE parties for the purpose of organiz
ing their respective forces. The contest will
probably be a more bitter one than on any pre
1 !cus occasion, as several very important public
inter«?«ts will be at etaXe which are in direct
fntss-onism to each other. The alliance of the
moderate parties on the question of a customs
tariff, by means of which it was possible to te
f«at Socialistic obstruction, proves to have been
merely a temporary one. They are now fighting
against each other more determinedly than ever.
The National Liberals especially have started a
regular crusade against the Clericals, who were
th»lr allies during the tariff debate, and they
new owe their existence mainly to the favor of
th* Socialists. At the la»t election one-third of
fh" votes of ail the electors were given to the
fcpcialist candidates, and the discontent which
prevails all over Germany is constantly bring
ing new recruits to the Socialist ranks.
L N. F.
IRISH NOT TOO HOPEFUL.
But Policy of Coercion Has Changed to One
of Conciliation.
London. March 15. — Several Irish Members of
Far! lament addressed demonstrations at Liver
pool. Manchester, Birmingham and Dundee on
th» better prospects of an Irish land settle
ment. John Redmond, speaking at Liverpool,
«&!d the fovernment'i Irish Land Purchase bill
offered a rreat hope of a settlement. The policy
of coercion, he added, had changed to a policy
ft conciliation, but In view of past disappoint
ments the Irish party vas not too sanguine. If
it »a* worth while to spend millions of pounds
on the acquisition of two Dutch republics, it
*as much more important to spend a few hun
dred thousand pounds In conciliating Ireland.
William Redmond. In a speech at Manchester,
declared that the landlords had surrendered to

!- A BRONCO'S TOUR.
i ' „
1 CROWD FOLLOWS HIM.
, Tries to Get Into Waldorf by Re
volving Door.
All yesterday afternoon a dun colored bronco
! kept the lower part of Manhattan In a. state of
' excitement. He came to the city on Saturday,
! and after being 1 knocked down at a price that
wounded his pride was taken to an Eldrldge-st.
: stable.
Just before 2 p. m, yesterday he became tired
j of the limited view from the little window in his
I stall, broke his halter and started out to see the
city. No one hindered him, and he began a
j slumming tour of the East Side. He spent over
an hour In that section, and then, displeased by
the ever increasing: crowd at his heels, went
west across the city.
It did not take him long to reach the Ninth
"Ward. By that time there were nearly seven
hundred men and boys following him on foot
and on bicycles. Every now and then he would
throw up his heels and charge the crowd.
Finally he reached Fourteenth-st. By that
time his retinue had a wholesome respect for
heels, and he was not disturbed while he in
spected the pictures In front of the Fourteenth
Street Theatre. Then he started up Elghth-ave.
on the run. Between Twenty-third and Twenty-
Bixth Bts. four men essayed to catch him. They
all failed, and lngloriously rolled into the gut
ter.
At Thirty-fourth-st. he turned east. At
Broadway four stalwart patrolmen of the
Broadway Squad made a gallant effort to stop
him. They, too, rolled in the dust, cheered by
over a thousand people, who had Joined the
procession. Just before he reached the Wal
dorf the bronco became entangled with tha
usual . line of cabs drawn up there. The cab
drivers then Joined in the chase, but the
bronco slipped away from them, after leaving
his hoofmarks on several.
By concerted action he was driven into a cor
ner where R. J. Roome's real estate office, at
No. 11 West Thirty-fourth-st, backs somewhat
from the street line. Again he got away, and
bolted into one of the revolving doors of the
Waldorf. He got half way in before he found
that the rest of his body could not follow where
his head had gone. Then he retreated, lashing
out with his heels and scaring the colored at
tendant that turns the door so that for a few
minutes the man was almost white.
Finally he bolted toward the City Club stables.
There is an alley leading to the stables, or
dinarily closed by big iron gates. Luckily, these i
were open, and in a second the bronco was j
caught.

Mr. Crowe had to do one of two things: turn
a sharp corner into One-hundredth-st. or let the
horse run into the front of an apartment house.
He chose the latter course. The horse did not
slacken speed, but plunged across the sidewalk
and down the steps into the areaway. He fell
on his knees. The buggy was jammed against
an Iron fence. Crowe was thrown out, hut not

IRELAND MAY BE CHOSEN.
President's Approval Not Necessary
for His Selection as Cardinal.
fBT TELEGRAPH TO TOE TRIBUNE. 1
Washington. March 15. — A prominent Roman
Catholic Bishop said to-day, apropos of the re
port from Rome that* to Archbishop Ireland
would not be accorded the Cardinal's hat un
less such a step were recommended by President
Roosevelt, that while the report was evidently
incorrect, it was not an unnatural mistake. He
added:
Such mistakes arise from the fact that many
Europeans do not realize how absolutely distinct
are church and state in this country. In the.
Roman Catholic* countries of Europe the Vatican
would ask if any candidate to the Cardinalate
would be an agreeable appointment to the ruler
or administration, at least in all instances
where a concordat existed between the Vatican
and the country from which it is desired to
select a member of the College of Cardinals. -
This precaution would be taken with a view to
preventing, the appointment- of a churchman
who was persona non grata to his government,
and thus rendering difficult the relations over
which the Cardinal would^tevei local super
vision. This being the custom In Europe, a
European would naturally tf Archbishop
Ireland's name were mentioned: "Has he re
ceived the Indorsement of President Roosevelt?"
and doubtless from such an inqels-y arose the" re
j port referred to. " \ ..'.-.
Asked If he believed Monj4g«or Ireland would
be made a Cardinal, the Bishop, mid he bell-ved
he would, although he could give no Idea a*
to how soon such an appointment would b«
made. Archbishop Ireland tad rendered great
service to the Church in this ■ ©uotry and would
naturally be selected if it were determined to
appoint another American C« fdln.il.

He then wandered into the reception room,

then around to the Thirty-third-st. side of the
hotel and into the Oriental room. He sat oppo
site some women there, and his stare caused
them to move away.
Then the clerk was Informed of his actions,
and House Detective Smith was asked to see
what the man was doing. At the end of "Pea
cock Alley" four women were talking together.
The dwarf glanced admiringly at them. Many
persons had by this time heard of his strange
actions, and he was watched by a number as
he walked toward the young women.
According to Smith, the man took off his hat
and said gayiy: -
"Good evening, ladies."-
The women looked up amazedly, and then, as
if seized by sudden panic, fled. When the house
detective took his arm Herman made such an
outcry that Smith was forced to gag him with
hi* hand. Smith took him to the desk, and
asked what he wanted. l!»rman said he wanted

Office detectives at the request of the London
Commissioner of Police, came just before two
United States marshals, waiting at the bottom
of the gangplank, could reach the man.
Wright was prefectly calm. He made no re
sistance, but. saying he was perfectly willing: to
accompany the police, walked down the gang
• plank, a detective on each side. He asked espe-
I dally that his arrest he kept from the news
papers. He was taken to Police Headquarters,
thence to the Tombs police court, where, after
examination by Magistrate Barlow, he was
turned over to the United States marshals, who
took him to Ludlow Street Jail.
With Wright <yi the vessel was a goodlooklng
young woma». who said she was Miss F.
Browne, hi» niece. She stayed at the pier to look
after the numerous trunks they had with them.
After the customs officials had passed the bar-
Rase Miss Browne went to the Albemarle. She

! aho agreed to watch the room while Moody
went to see the purser. That official told of
the changing of the passenger's name after the
sailing of th« ship. Moody went back to the
room, and both waited until the woman ram?
on deck. Then they walked inside.
DID NOT DENT HIS NAME.
Mr. Wright?" inquired Moody.
That worthy did not deny his name, so the de
tectives told him he was under arrest, at the re
quest of the London police. He expressed sur
prise, but retained Sis "nerve." He quietly told
Miss Brown of his arrest.
"That was a bus/ness transaction." Wright, the
detectives say. t.*ld them. "I understood that
! the matter was all settled in Parliament. This
Is a surprise to me. I am willing to go with
you. All I want is to get away from here with
as little noise as possible. Don't let the news
papers know anything about this."
Meanwhile two Pinkerton detectives who were
inquiring for Wright were told that the Central
Office men had him.
"That's good." said th» Pinkerfn men. and
left the ship.
There was a slight dispute between two United
States marshals and the detectives as to who
should have charge of the prisoner.
When Magistrate Barlow arrived Wright was
brought Into court. The marshals said they had
a warrant for his arrest, charging him with
being a fugitive from justice. Wright did not
say anything, but smiled when he heard the
marshals say that he was a fugitive from
Justice. The clerk handed the papers to the
magistrate, and he signed the order turning
Wright over to the United States authorities.
Miss Browne is rather tall and slender, and
was dressed in a dark blue gown and a broad
brimmed, low crowned hat. draped with a flimsy
light blue veil. She' remained nearly half an
hour at the pier, waiting for the trunks to be
taken off the vessel. Most of the time she
leaned against a trunk, her hands against the
side of her face, her eyes fixed as if she were in
deep thought. She has a rather prominent nose
and bright, dark eyes.
"I have nothing to say. I am here. but. as
for my plans, they are not the public's business."
she said to a reporter. She turned away, but
added that she had come over to visit friends.
Nothing was known on La Lorraine as to the
identity of the pair. They made no friends, and
Wright seldom appeared in public.
La Lorraine left Havre about 5 p. m. on March
7. Wright and his companion came down to
Havre on the train arriving about 2:50 In the
afternoon. They went at once to their rooms.
On the trip, though the vessel had fairly good
weather, it was said that Miss Browne was ill.
She did not leave her room until the vessel was
one day from port.
Wright spent most of the time in his suite.
Almost every evening, it was said, he could be
found on deck, walking briskly up and down,
puffing on a big black cigar.

Mr?. Wright concluded by stating that <«m!-.

The lawyers acting in. th*» case anticipate nf

expected that Wright will be in London in six

express their satisfaction that Wright was noC

will not be a repetition cf the long delay in
securing a trial which occurred in the case r>t

who fled to Argentina. "The Daily Mail" com

not a sufficient cause against Wright and upon
