MAY USE CoMPULSIoM
Hindrance Offered to Reinstatement of
 EvIcted Irish Tenants

London, Oct. 29.-John E. Redmond the irish leader, moved the adjourn ment of the House of Commons to-day in order to call attention to the lack of progress in the matter of reinstating evicted tenants in Ireland owing, as the speaker alleged, to the landlords hindering the operation of the land act by refusing to sell untenanted lands. The land commissioners were conse- quently unable to provide farms for evicted tenants. MT, Redmond said it was obvious that the government must resort to some system of compulsion. The patience of the Irish people was becoming exhausted, and although the Irish party desired to give opportunity for tne greatest degree or falr play pending a declaration of the govern ments intention regarding Irish self government, it thought that Chief Sec retary for Ireland Bryce ought to grap- pie with the matter vigorously.
 Replying to MT, Redmond MT. Bryce, after some debate, said the government had done its best to cope with the grave obstacles before it, and had won certain measure of success. If the remedy is compulsion, the chief secre- tary said, the government might have to come to that,
 Walter Hume Long, conservative, then declared that MT. Bryce's state ment involved a complete triumph for the nationalists, and the subject was dropped.

 cal Meetings the Cause.

 The speeches delivered and the reso- lutions passed at the great mass meet ings held in the university here, which lasted from noon until o'clock, were so openly revolutionary and incendiary that the members of the faculty were unable to ignore this open defiance of the administration ultimatum. to the enforcement of which they are pledged. Rector Bargman immediately summon ed the council, which ordered the in- definite suspension of the institution.
 The closing of the University of Ka- gan was accompanied by the proelama- ton of a condition of extraordinary security" in the city and outlying sub urbs, in order to enable the authorities better to cope with the anticipated aft ermath of disorder.

Wrecking crews with derricks succeeded in bringing one of the two submerged cars to the surface, and divers working in relays brought up bodies until their fearful task was completed, and they reported that no more dead remained either inside the second car or in the water and mud anywhere in the vicinity.
 Interest now centers in the work of th6 ,fa1, a careful inspection of the scene of the wreck, and the drawbridge at which the train left the rails. The jury sworn in by Coroner Gaskill is made up of the following citizens:
 State Senator Edward S. Lee, fore man; Isaac Bacharach, Samuel III. Headley, John IF. Ashmead, Charles F. jury met at o'clock, and accompanied l by the coroner, Prosecuting Attorney Abbott, City Solicitor Wootten and sev- eral other city officials, proceeded to the scene of the tragedy. At the bridge they were Joined by Mayor Stoy and General Manager Atterbury of the Pennsylvania railroad.
 After the forward car of the sl1b- merged coaches had been hoisted to the service and the divers who had been at work on the wreclage all day had made a final examination of the second car without finding any more bodies, MT. lAtterbury, who with several of his as- sistants, had been on the scene since Sunday night, expressed his belief that the total number of dead would not ex- ceed fifty-three.
 There is a bare possibility that one or two others may have been killed"
