Frank Miles Day Says Congressman

Grave Mistake. ~
EVEN EUROPE INTERESTED"

Every citizen OF the United States
feels interest in the grand system of
park improvements and driveways pro-
posed for the National Capital. and
members of Congress who fail to lend
their support I'm passing a bill that will
make these improvements possible will
find that they have made a most un-
fortunate mistake. and have opposed a
project which is near the nations
heart
This statement was made last night
at a meeting of the Washington Archi-
tectural Club. by Frank Miles Day, of
Philadelphia. vice president of the
american Institute of Architects. who
delivered an address before the local
organization on the subject Of 1.-The
Parks and Park System of Philadel-
phia.''
Compliment to Capital
The real theme of Mr.. Days address
was the proposed improvements which
are to be undertaken by Philadelphia.
but aside from this ne took occasion to
pay a high compliment to the beautiful
parks of Washington, and said that the
plans which propose a still further i'm
provement were on a magnificent scale,
and would make Washington the most
beautiful city in the world.
Even the people OF Europe. he said.
were interested in this wonderfully
worked out scheme which would make
a garden spot Of the National Capital.
Mr.. Day illustrated his address with a
large number of stereopticon views, and
in addition to the views Of proposed
park plans for Philadelphia, New
York. Cleveland, Kansas City. Buffalo,
and many other cities. he had a COM
plete set of views Of the great Mall and
the boUlevards and parks branching out
from II all through Washington, which
the plans Of the Park Commissioners
contemplate in case Congress makes the
necessary appropriations
Hope of Philadelphia.
Mr.. Day said that at least thirty pub
lie bodies in Philadelphia had taken up
the movement for better park sys-
TEN. and as a result he had every hope.
nc said, that instead of being the
twelfth city Of the list in park i'm
provements, the Quaker city would
rank as among the very fra.

JOHN REDMOND SPEAKS
IN BEHALF OF IRELAND
Says the Government Has Played
the Devils Game of False
Promises. y"
HOME RULE IS WANTED

LONDON, Feb 3-"For the Irish party
there is no such thing as an alternative
policy to home rule" declared John Red
mond, the leader of the Irish parliamentary
party in the House of Commons to-day as
he resumed the debate on the address in re-
ply to the speech from the throne. Mr..
Redmond proceeded, in speech of great
length, TO detail the various grievances of
Ireland, incidentally informing the Lib
erals that it was delusion to suppose they
could count on Irish support by promising
an alternative policy to home rule. Because
the Irish obtained a valuable act last year
remedying some of the. evils of past gov
eminent some persons seemed to think that
the Irish question was shelved, but no con-
cession could weaken the demand for self
government. On the contrary, every con-
cession they had obtained or might obtain
would be used for the furtherance of the
contest for home rule. The Irish would
rather govern themselves badly than be
governed well by another nation.
Mr.. Redmond bitterly attacked the gov
ernment's attitude on education in Ireland,
describing it grossly absurd and ire
parably harmful to the youth of Ireland
The governments course on the Irish Uni
Verslty question, he added, was dishonest
evasion of an admitted duty and a griev-
ance which poisoned the life of Ireland and
condemned her to failure in the struggle OF
nations.
The government, continued Mr.. Redmond,
had played THE DEVILS game of false prom
lse' too often and If the government desired
the support of the Irish in Parliament and
at the polls, nothing short of the introduce
ton of the requisite legislation would Sc
cure it.
Referring to the land question Mr.. Red
mond SAID the failure OF last years act
proved that this Parliament had neither
time nor capacity to legislate satisfactorily
for Ireland. The act must be amended
forthwith, alike in the interests of the ten
ants and landlords
Mr.. Redmond concluded with few
scathing remarks concerning that irri-
tating anachromism known as Dublin
Ireland WAS too rotten to be mended and
must therefore be ended" 1t would be the
duty of the Irish to oppose the government
unless the latter fOreshadowed some ap-
preciable advance on the road to home rule.
Mr.. Redmond, who supported by
full representation the Irish benches,
received an ovation from his followers at
the close of his forceful, outspoken crit
icism.
MIR. Wyndham chief secretary for
Ireland, in reply, announced the govern
ments intention to introduce act amend
ing the Irish land act and clearing all the
doubtful points. In regard to the univer-
sity, Mr.. Wyndham said the government
had no intention of legislating at present.
The question ought to be settled, but it is
useless to attempt anything until a more
substantial agreement had been arrived at
between all the parties.

He became involved in an alteration

thirteenth and Fourteenth streets. The
IDEA, however, that the crime was COM

WILL NOT SEND
REPLY UNTIL FRIDAY

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 3.-The state
ment printed abroad that the Russian reply
is being held back while M. Kurino, the
japanese minister, communicates it's sub
stance TO his government, is untrue. The
Associated Press is semi-ofFicially assured
that the Russian response will not be sent
before Feb. at the earliest
The tension unquestionably is increa sing,
and the bOurse shows an adverse feeling,
but beyond the decided Russian military
activity there is little definite news
The strain here is manifested by the con-
tinuous semi-panicky condition of the
bourse.
The papers still hope for peace, but they
show a more skeptical tone. The Russ,
declaring that in spite of alarmist rumors IL
does not think there will be war on the
ground that there is nothing in the negotia-
lions TO warrant war, welcomes the warn
lngs TO Japan in the French press, which,
the Russ says, has lost patience with the
malicious campaign which prevents peace
ful settlement and regrets that hitherto
continental press has done nothing to check
the agitation in the British newspapers The
paper says that If the newspaper exaggera-
lions had been eliminated there was no rea-
son why the negotiation should not al
ready have reached a peaceful settlement.
The situation, the Russ adds, is now acute
