NE VS. OF
THE RAILROADS
The seaboard Air Line Has Plenty Of
Freight Cars-Freight Con-
ference To-Day.

The Seaboard Air Line seems to be the
only road out Of Richmond in any direc-
ton with cars enough on the yards to
meet the demands OF shippers. 1t was
officially stated yesterday that this road
has enough cars to supply all reasonable
demands. The Southern has found IL
practically impossible to meet the de-
mands upon it. It appears that the
statement in yesterdays Times that ato
carloads of fertilizer were now awaiting
shipment in Richmond and tied up on
account of lack OF cars was short of the
mark There is said to be probably six
hundred carloads awaiting the time
when cars to hold it are available. There
is no doubt that if the Seaboard Air Line
had a freight yard south Of Main Street
the congestion would be greatly relieved.
a number of business men OF NortolK,
Portsmouth, and Newport News will be

sulting with the freight rate department.

PARLIAMENT DISGRACED.
Liberal and Irish Leaders Give Their
Views on the Recent Display Of
Force.

NEW YORK. March S.-Sir Henry
Campbell, Liberal leader of the house
Of commons, and Mr.. John Redmond,
the leader Of the Irish party, discussed
the recent scenes in the house in spec
ial dispatches TO the Journal and Ad-
vertiser.
The Liberal leader says:
Many circumstances Of our life and
condition of society rest upon physical
force. which is a rather humiliating
fact. The rules of the house Of COM
mons which usually work so quietly,
equally rest for ultimate authority on
force. 1t seems to me that the display
Of force the other night was repulsive
to the feeling of everyone Of us and
certain not to add TO the dignity and
credit of the house.
"The introduction into the house Of
a body of police struck a heavy blow
at our dignity Legal, not physical
force, should be employed in future and
members would then obey without a
murmur. Their ideas Of their indepen-
dence would then be vindicated. By
suspending members for the whole ses-
sion. the government practically dis
franchises their constituencies"
Mr.. Redmond says
"The enactment OF penal provision
such as suspending members in what
processes to be a free assembly is a
hateful, degrading proceeding. In con-
sequence of the hurried application Of
closure on Tuesday night, there was
natural ebullition of feeling on the part
of Irishmen. give my unqualified and
absolute denial that it was premedi-
tated.
The whole moral responsibility for
what occurred rests on Balfour. No
government ever gained by parliamen-
tary sharp practice. Such attempts re-
coil on those who use them. Year by
year parliament has been lowered and
degraded
1.-The robbing of Ireland of her parlia-
ment having compelled US to come
across the water to an English parlia-
ment, it is some consolation to irish
men that the price to be paid is so high |
and bitter a one"
