DUBLIN, March 12.-Miss Anna
Parnell, sister of the late Charles
Stewart Parnel1, publishes the follow
ing letter:
"Since the Queen, whose Irish SOL
diers have hitherto been punished il
they ventured to sport the shamrock,
has now ordered them to wear 1T as
token of degradation, it seems to me
those Irish who do not wish to be
identified with the robber lords OF
South Africa, should take some notice
of this insult to their little plant,
whose very humbleness might have
protected it from the attention of the
Queen Empress. / suggest that those
who cannot refrain from wearing the
shamrock should dip it into the ink
until the dishonor is wiped out by the
final triumph of the Beers, or in some
other way"

Guided from the hall by Speaker Hen

While none of the Republicans voted
with the Democrats, enough were abb
sent and impaired to reduce the Re-
publican majority upon the final vote

An urgent deficiency bill, carrying
