HOME RULE FOR IRISH
Scene in House of Commons When He De-
nounced Present Government of Island
as Being Corrupt

LONDON. Feb. 3.-John Redmond. the
Irish leader. in behalf of the Nation
aiists. demanded home rule for Ireland
IN the house of commons today. Red
mond spoke at length and with much
force. He was cheered on time and
again by his compatriots.
Redmond made an insistent demand
for radical change in the system of
government of Ireland. without reserva-
tion or qualification by the home gov
ernment In trenchant terms he as
serted that the present government was
one under which Ireland had been
pauperized and depopulated." The dec
laration was greeted with a salvo Of
applause from the Irish wing.
Taking up the position of the home
government in it's efforts to evade. and
thereby kill. the Irish question. Mr.
Redmond said:

realize that they could only get the Irish
vote on the condition that they promised

Loud cheers followed. and when Mr..
Redmond proceeded he declared that the

HERE FOR A STEAL,
DECLARES TILLNAN
South Carolina Senator Scores Appro-
priation for the Worlds
Fair.

st. Louis comes here for a steal -
declared Mr. Tillman. on the floor Of
the Senate this afternoon. during the
consideration Of the urgent deficiency
appropriation bill reported to the Sen
ate yesterday.
Although the S4.6OO.OOO appropriate,
was put into the bill as a loan to the
Worlds Fair management. the Senator
said he did not doubt Judging from
past experiences that Congress has had
with such expositions. that it was In
reality a gift.
He said the Buffalo and Charleston
exposition managements had both
come around with their hats" after
ward, and had told of the great hard
ships their people would experience IL
Congress did not supply the deficiencies.
They got the money, the Senator said,
and he declared 1t constituted a steal -
On "Bad Road"
Mr.. Tillman wanted to know how long
Congress would go along a bad road
without turning aside from It,
Forever" commented Mr. Bailey,
who sat next to him.
President ~ Francis. OF the
Exposition Company, who has been here
for a week. urging the loan. heard all
the debate and the harsh criticism.
How Debate Began.
The bill was called up by Mr.. Hale
and the crash of individual opinion
started I'm a quiet way. Mr. Bailey OF
Texas raised the point OF order against
the provision to make a loan OF 81. 600. 900
to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition as
recommended by the subcommittee. He
l..
could be defended only on the ground
that 1t was in extension of an exist
ing law.
Mr. Hale defended the recommendation
and Mr.. Bailey quoted law to uphold his
contention The debate then got to full
swing as Mr. TiIlman exclaimed:
'Is this loan OF a gift? The Buffalo
and Charleston exposition people have
been here to ask us to help them out.
and the money they have gotten i'm that
way Is a steal. II is taking money from
the people who pay the taxes to give It
to some other persons who haven't
paid It,"
Question of Taxes.
Mr.. Spooner-Does the Senator think
we paw more taxes than we ought to?
Mr. TIIlman-Undoubtedly We do not
get back more than one dollar in ten. We
pay taxes and most Of IL goes somewhere
else. and does not come back to those
who pay It at home.
Mr. Spooner-You mean in America
when YOU say at homer
Mr. Tillman-Oh, / am an American
but / am South Carolinian. too. /
don't like that way OF spending money.
but If others are going to steal, l want
TO get my share, as 1 said. for my con-
stituents and their interests.

William G. Henderson, chairman Of

ing the failure OF the Commissioners
TO attach rider 70 the bill:
1T doesn't matter much to the peopIe
Of Washington how we obtain Iegis-
lation for better service. so long as we
get 1t: and under these circumstances
/ think II would have been well for the
Commissioners TO have added the rider. .

panies IL would have been unlikely TO
have met with opposition from the com
panies themselves

has been indorsed by the Commissioners

tees with powerful support.

but IL would no doubt have been better

had been approved

Ignored the Public.

1t was thought by many Of the citi-
zens interested that now would be the
time to bring the street car companies
to their knees in the matter Of bad
service. The companies want privileges
which the Commissioners were asked TO
report upon They did so, but ignored
the plea Of the public.
Commissioner Macfarland. president
of the Board of Commissioners. was
asked by a reporter for The Times this
morning, why this action had been
taken. and why the rider was not at

1T has been the uniform policy Of the
Commissioners" he replied, not 10
recommend riders as amendments to
