MINISTRY REFUSES TO RESIGN.
eaIfour Government Defeated by Vote
in Commons.

6aIfour Government Defeated by Vote
in Commons.
London, March 16.-Premier Bal
four's government Tuesday was de-
feated in the house of commons by the
combined Liberal and Nationalist
vote. This reverse was due to the
prohibition by Mr.. Wyndham, chief
secretary for Ireland, on the teaching
of Gaelic in the junior grades of the
Irish Nationalist schools Mr. Bal
four, though defeated by majority
of eleven on this question, does not
regard the vote as one of want of
confidence and he will not resign on
this account. His determination not
to resign was strengthened by the
fact that shortly after the foregoing
defeat he was able to secure a ma
jority of twenty-five.
The failure of the government to
carry the house with 1t on question
OF purely administrative policy in it's
Irish department Is generally admitted
to weaken Its already waning prestige
with the country, although it is not
thought probable that any immediate
development will ensue.

of the many suspects arrested. and tho
identity OF the bandits has remained a
mystery to the police until now.
Marx says both his confederates in
the crime are dead. and refuses to give
thei: names. One of TIM. he declares,
"died with his boots on" Tie railway
authorities admitted loss Of S100. .0G0

secured only $4,000. the rest of the
money having been destroyed by the
explosion OF dynamite used to crack
the safe.
In sort OF footnote to this startling
confession, Marx admits the killing of
five men in his career of crime.
