ADDRESS ADOPTED
But Irish Party in House Voted Against 1t.

London, June 21.-The House OF Com
mons was crowded today when the First
Lord of the Treasury, and government
leader, Mr.. A. l.. Balfeur moved, and
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, the Liberal
leader, seconded, an address OF congratu-
lation to the Queen upon the sixtieth an
niversary of her accession to the Throne.
Mr.. John Dillon, chairman of the Irish
Parliamentary party, pro otested in vehe-
ment language. He explained that the
attitude of himself and his party was that
they would not vote in favor OF any
amendment, but would vote against the
adoption of the address, in whlch the
Irish could not share.
Mr.. John Redmond, the Parnelllte
leader, amid laughter from the Conserve
tlves and ,Unionists, moved an amend
ment to the address and caused an AMI,

WHAT NEW CONGRESSMAN SAYS.
Vote Was Light Because Farmers Couldn't
Take Time to Vote.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.J

Bangor, June 21.-Ex-Governor Edwin
G. Burleigh, Maine's new congressman
elect is here tonight en- route to Aroostook
for short rest. He greeted PRESS
man cordially tonight and expressed him
self as very much pleased at the returns
from the election in his district Besides
the fact that special election at an un-
usual time, rarely draws large vote
Gov. Burleigh mentioned the fact that
the extreme lateness of the season and
long spell of inclement weather had oper-
ated against the Republican vote from
the fact that it was useless to attempt to
get out @ good rural vote for few farmers
could afford to take such precious time as
pleasant day afforded to go to the polls.
"The Republican vote form figures at
hand," said he, twill apparently show a
decline of some 40 per cent from Septem-
ber last, the presidential year when
political excitement was intense. The
Democratic vote being light would show
