Of the facts alleged in your ex -

have been bound to take official
niz'lnie performance of its duty as
neutral power in enrrcing its
national laws.
"Its duty was to see to it that the
I.usitania was not armed for offen
sive action, that she was not serving
as a transport, that she did mt carry
a cargo prohibited by the statutes
of the I'nited States, that, if in fart
she was a naval vessel of Great Bri
tain, she should not receive a clear
ance as a merchantman: it performed
that duty and enforced the statutes
with scrupulous vigilance through re
gularly constituted officials. It is
able, therefore, to assure the imperial
German government it has been mis
informed. If the imperial German
government should deem itself to be
in possession of convincing evidence
that the officials of the government
of the I'irited States did not perform
tiese duties with thoroughness, the
government of the United States
sincerely hopes it will submit that
evidence for consideration. .
"Whatever may be the contentions
of the imperial German government
regarding the carriage of contraband
of war on board the I.usitania or re
garding the explosion of that material
by a torpedo, it neetl only be said
that in the view of this government,
these contentions are irrelevant to the
fiuestion of the legality of the meth

Gordon, ultliough anti-home rule, is
not so pronounced an Vlsterite as
Campbell. The nationists agreed to ac
cept him for the sake of the limination
of Campbell.
At a nationalist meeting held over
which John Kdmond, the party's leader
was presiding, resolutions were passed
expressing satisfaction that the pro
tests of Uit? party had been successful
"in preventing the lord chancellorship
from being handed over to the union
ists especially a unionist with the rec-
ord of Campbell."
The resolutions agree that the party
shall "abstain, in view of the extra
ordinary dangers of a present crisis,
from taking any hostile action against
the new government in connection with
the uppoinntment of a unionist to the
attorney generalship of Ireland."
They express the conviction that
nothing has occurred in any way to
jeopardize "the certain coming of the
home rule act into operation at the
conclusion of the war, provided always,
that' in the meantime the people pro

jably many amendments which were
j rejected in the committee will be
revived and offered as some of them
were offered more than once and re
jected in the whole committee.
When the house met yesterday
morning, before resolving itself into
the whole committee, Mr. Graham
moved the bringing in of the other
land bills from the committee on pub
lic lands. Chairman ClaypooJ replied
that there were none: they had ail
l.een merged into the substitute bill.
After some discussion of the proced
ure with reference to the pending
bill, it was agreed to take a recess
until 1:30 in the afternoon to give
the public lands committee and mem
bers an opportunity to prepare such
amendments as they had to offer. At
1:30 most of these amendments were
on the clerk's desk and they began
to be taken up.
Though, in the course of the after
noon several changes were made,
none of them were vital and onlv
two of them were important. One
of them by Mr. Powers reduced the
salary of the commissioner from $3600
a year to $3000: the salary of the
rteputv from $2700 to $2400; the sal
ary of the chief clerk from $2400 to
$2100. The other salaries were left
unchanged.
An' amendment by Mr. Acuff pre
vailed, changing the manner of se
lecting boards of appraisers, allow
ing one to be chosen by the com
missioner, one by the board of su
pervisors of the county in which the
property is situated, these two to
select the third. The bill originally
provided for the appointment of two
members of the board and one by
the board of supervisors. The change
was demanded ooth on the grounds
of fairness and of economy, but H
was vainly pointed out that neither
end would be obtained: it was shown
that there would really be fourteen
sets of appraisers instead of one set.
a majority of whose members would
become familiar with the work.
An interesting statement was made
by Mr. Flanagan in the course of a
second attempt to change the con -stitution
of the land department
which, under the original bill, should
consist of the governor, the attorney
general and the state engineer. Mr.
Marlar proposed that the secretary
of state be substituted for the state
engineer. Mr. Flanagan replied that
that change might be accomplished
later in the progress of the bill.
thoug i whether in the house or th
senate he did not say. However, he
did not think it advisable to make
such a change at this time. Th
amendment was defeated.
Though very little was accom

speeches to escape which members
