STRIKERS ARE ENCOURAGED.
Terre Haute Traction Men Pleased
with Saturdays Demonstration.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, March 23.-The street.
railway strikers are encouraged by the en-
thusiastic sympathy of the crowds out for
their demonstration yesterday afternoon
and last night. At night it was necessary
to hold two meetings, and the speakers
went from one to the other.
The strikers believe there are indications
OF a radical change of policy on the part
of the company. Manager Clark has con-
ceded nearly all points for which the men
contended in the beginning, promising to
re-employ the fremen, and his latest dec
laration is that he has no objection to the
men joining the union. The only material
point of difference now is the formal recog-
milton of organized labor by signing a con-
tract such as the one in existence until a
few months ago
The boycott is still causing loss of a
large percentage of the usual revenue and
while the cars are operated as regularly
as before the strike and the strike, in
sense may be said to be lost, the company
feels the loss in the revenue.

CHICAGO. March 2S.-Wiliam II. X. Red
mond and Joseph Devlin, Irish members of
Parliament, before an audience OF 10000

gle against the British. AT the close of the
meeting hundreds of persons pledged them
selves TO the support of the cause by be-
coming members of the United Irish
League.
IF our policy in the British Parliament
can do nothing else, we can express our
grief we can harass the British empire. we
can stand upon the floor of the English
Parliament and cheer and call Gods bless
ing upon the Beers every time the English
are defeated said Mr.. Redmond "If we
cannot i'm The English Parliament win home
rule. / promise you we will destroy the
Parliament of England; if we cannot gov
ern ourselves we can take good care not

WEEK IN THE HOUSE.
Cuban Question May he Taken vp-
Moss-Rhea Election Contest.

WASHINGTON. March 23.-There is a
bare possibility that the fight over the
question OF Cuban reciprocity will be trans
ferred to the floor of the House during the
coming week. The probabilities. however,
that the reciprocity resolution intro
duced by Mr. Payne, the floor leader of the
majority, after the action of the Repub-
lican caucus last week, will not be called
up until the following week though on this
point no definite decision has been reached
as yet by the leaders.
The present programme is TO take up the
army bill after the disposal Of the Moss
Rhea contested election case Tuesday
Several days will be consumed in general
debate on this BILL as the Democrats are
inclined to use IL as text for speeches in
opposition to the policy of the adminstra-
tion in the Philippines. Ii is a foregone
conclusion that Mr. Rhea will be unseated
when the vote on his contested election
case is taken on Tuesday.
