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.

Haul-uix, March 4.-The story comes
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.

Though changing to n greenish color

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
t
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.
