He begin pulling the clothes off the

"Come get out of lbatW 200 I.
The man opened his eyes and turned
over on, the other side. Eventually
he was pulled out by Shanahan, but he
said he would not leave the, room un-
less Shanahsn would give him o pair OF
trousers. This Shanahan refused to

Issue a Circular Which Is to Be
Spread in the United States and

New York, July S.-The executive
council of the Irish Independent Par
liamentary party issued a manifesto
tonight to be circulated throughout
the United States and Canada. 1t says,
among other things:
''It makes but little difference to the
Irish people whether they are governed
by Wings or Tories, the question of
home rule can only be raised to the
by Parnen by the presence in West
minister of an Irish representation,
owing no allegiance to Wing or Tory,
untrammeled by any degrading al
liances.
'Will Americans give financial sup
port to an agglomeration Of Irish fac
tons which has failed to accomplish
anything but the destruction of the
fabric raised by fifteen years of ar
duous labor, or do they desire. to see
an Irish party in parliament, advocat-
ing the claims of Ireland, who place
no reliance in English promises and
who will accept no offices from the
British government?
1--WE appeal with confidence of con-
tribution to the fund now open for the
purpose of helping the election of Irish
representatives who will pursue in the
next parliament the policy so long
identified with the name of Charles
Stewart Parnell.'
