Loirnou. March, 3.-John Redmond

M. P., who was unanimously re- elected leader of the Irish Par- liamentary Party on Saturday, has had it continuous Parliamentary career silice he entered the House in the stormy days of 1881, nothwithstand lug the fact that. he has not been con- tiuuousiyamember of Parliament dur- ing that period. The seeming anomaly arose through the circumstance that during the recess of 1891 he resigned his seat in North Wexford in order to con- test Cork City after the death of Par- nell. He was defeated in Cork, but re- turned shortly afterwards for Waterford.

If the system of an elective leader-

ship had existed at the timelof 0'Con- nell’s death, as it does now, the whole coursenot only of Irish but of Parlia- mentary history would no doubt have been very different from what it has been. When O'Connel|d|ed, his favorite son John, who considered the leader-` ship hereditary, took over his fathei-‘s position, which he was hopelessly in- capable of filling. The result was dis- astrous and the Parliamentary Party went to pieces. John 0'Conne1l ulti- mately retlred from Parliament.

from Paris of a wonderful new variety of

potatoes which is heing introduced into

France. In 1001 there was brought to that

countrya few of the native potatoes of

Uruguay, which were very small in size and too bitter for use as food.

V These were cultivated and developed till now it is claimed they are of surpass- ing productlveness and excellence. They produce from 1000 to 1300 bushels per acre, of excellent quality and grow best on wet.

WIHTESS TESTS

Nsw YORK, March 4.-Wireless tele-

ara

phy tests are to be made for the nhxt

hirty days by the officers in charge of the

various stations established by the Navy

Department to deterniino if possible the cause of the many failures to receive and tosead messages at sunrise and sunset. Repeated tests have shown this to be the case, and it is expected that the navy operators were the first to make the dis- covery of this strange and import- ant phenomenon. Just why the power of the wireless apparatus and the sound of waves should be at lowest ebb at sunset or`at sunrise, operators say, may not be difficult to ascertain, for it has long been known that messages can be sent by the system at night forty per cent. better than in the daytime, espe- cially when the sun is shining. There is what is termed frictional dissipation of energy in transmitting by day. It is also known that foggy weather is more favorable for sending and receiving wire- messages than clear weather, so naval officers familar with electrical subjeoto believe they will soon be able to locate and remedy the alleged defect at sunrise and sunset.
