EXCITEMENT
Ran High in the House Of
Commons Caused by Irish
Members Being Evicted Last
Night.

LONDON, March 6.-Great excite
ment prevails here following the tur-
bulent scenes occurring in the house
of commons last midnight. The noon
session today was one of suppressed
excitement. The houses of parlia-
ment are surrounded by strong po-
lice force and the mob outside the po-
lice line is angry and inclined to be
hostile.
The cause of the trouble was the
eviction of twelve Irish members at
the close of an exciting. session last
ing until 2 O'Clock this morning. Mr..
Balfour had applied cloture on the
educational estimates. This pre-
vented an opportunity to discuss the
Irish votes. Twelve members of the
Nationalists shouted gag" and
made several insulting remarks to
speakers. They were ordered from
the room and they refused to 60
Police were summoned and they were
thrown out.
This did not end the trouble, and
wild scenes of commotion prevailed.
Adjournment was effected this morn
ing amidst incipient scenes of riot.
Today's session promises to be
equally stormy, although the govern
ment is firm and Balfour will main
tain his position
LONDON. March 6.-In the house
of commons this afternoon John Red
mond arose to question of privilege
arising from the painful scenes of
last night He claimed the mem
bers had been suspended without
proper steps being taken and their re-
moval accompanied by undue vio-
lence. The speaker said he would
be glad to rectify any error If wrong
ful suspension had taken place. This
Willingness on the part of the govern
ment to treat the matter generously
,calmed the protestants and the ses-
sion was carried on without further
friction.

NEWSPAPER IGNORANCE AND
SCIENTIFIC MEDICINE.

An article appeared in the Memphis
Commercial Appeal taking the medi
cal fraternity to task for their wanton
attacks on OsteOpathy, and citing the
case of Elk President Harrison, as "a
conspicuous instance of the helplessness
of the medical profession when con
fronted by certain cases of disease. -
1t seems the shoe pinched, for the
journal of the American Medical Asso-
citation gives the following demonstra-
ton of the very arrogance and profess
sional bigotry charged. by the c.. A.
Note the fact that not one word is
used in an attempt to answer the criti-
cism, but the article confines itself
solely to billingsgate, the stock in
trade of this class of people. This is
from representative medical Journal,
whose ability is recognized the world
over and it is so utterly unable to de-
fend its position, that they take to such
cover as "Quack favoring Dallies, {"
"caviling editor, " ''VoodOot, " etc,
Dr. Browder will ventilate few of
these criticisms when he arrives on
the scene. We intend for him to
lecture in every hamlet of this county
as well as in Columbia. and at ALL
TIMES WILL HE STAND READY
AND ANXIOUS TO MEET OUR
J CRITICS ON THE PLATFORM.
Kind reader, you will note, that if
medicine is an exact science, as il
must be, for its followers TO be per
mitted to tamper with the lives of his
fellows. and which no authority that

will be able to show up the falacy OF

fronts them. Failing 10 do it must
