IRISH LEAVE HOUSE IN ANGER
Redmond Declares New Campaign
Must BE started in Interests OF
Islanders who wait for
Land.

LONDON, Aug. 26.--The chief secretary
for ireland. Mr.. Birrell, announced IN
the House of Commons this afternoon
that the government was prepared to ac-
cept some, but not all, the amendments
of the House of Lords TO the Irish evicted
tenants bill, whereupon John Redmond,
chairman of the Irish parliamentary party,
said he declined to take any further po-s
in the discussion of the measure. Red
mond accused the government OF failure
to carry out its promises TO the irish
people and said the bill as 1t now stood
provided for the compulsory removal of
tenants who had taken farms from
evicted persons. and therefore was VIC
tory for Lord Clancarde, whose evicted
tenants had for twenty years been wait
ing at the roadside for an opportunity
to return to their homes, but who would
not be able to do so under the, bill as
amended by the House OF Lords. 1T was
evident" continued Mr.. Redmond, that
the Irish must close their ranks and re-
commence a strong, menacing agitation
as the only means of securing proper land
legislation"
The Irish nationalists then left the
house in a body and another committee
of the House of Commons was appointed
to confer with the House of Lords to
see what could be saved of the mutilated
measure.
