Rome. are superstitious and dolatrOus; and
do solemnly. in the presence Of God. profess.
testify and declare that do make this decara-

IRISH MEMBERS AGAINST KING.
UNITED TO MAKE EARNEST FIGHT FOF
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS

John Redmond, in the course Of an interview
in the lobby of the House of Commons this
evening. said:
While the peers and commoners were iostIing
each other to-day in vulgar haste to pay
ohtisance to Edward VII. every Irish member
deliberately abstained from any participation
in the pageant. which only a mockerv 10
our people, poverty-stricken and oppressed as
they are At the meeting of the Irish National
party to-day IL was unanimously decided that
in consideration of Ireland's present condi-
tion. deprived of constitutional freedom and
oVertaNed by English rule. against which we
must ever protest, the Irish members would
take no part in the ceremonies naugurating
the new reign. The resolution was unanimous
SO intense is this feeling among US that for
the first time in ten years eighty Irish members
met in united party in Westminster to-day
against the new King They intend not only 10
discuss Irish questions but TO interfere in every
British question which may arise The Kings
speech gave the first indication of what the
result of a revival OF the movement in Ireland
means. We demand compulsory sale of estates
by Irish landlords. The Government now nro-
poses TO introduce a bill Offering inducements
To Irish landlords TO sell these estates volun-
tarily. This will not do: but the proposal is an
acknowledgement OF the power of our new

war ana 10 make general assault along the
whole line. In other words. the accession of
the King in no way alters the attitude of Ire

man to night, ireland will renqush her chIval-
rous attitude TO the late Queen, and we mean
10 know once for all whether our constitutional
rights are 10 be awarded to us or not
This evening Mr.. Redmond received a message
from Boston, signed by Mr.. oCallaghan saying:
Members OF the United Irish League of Boston
bid the Irish party godspeed in beginning the
fight.
Mr. Redmond's amendment 20 the address in

CITAI-

Mrs. Fannie bloomfield -Zeisler has never seemed

afternoon at her recital in Mendelssohn Hall. Her
playing is unfamiliar TO the musical public OF
this city. and has always been heard with admira-
an independent artistic sense OF that fascinat-
ing quality that is known as temperament She
showed all these things yesterday but there was
in addition ripeness and depth OF style that de-
noted a growth In artistic stature. Perhaps the
smaller size OF the hall had something 10 do with

variety and richness of color. than she gave at her

respects so great a fascination. Her performance
