HOME RULE FOR IRELAND.
House Of Commons Adopts Redmond's
Amended Resolution.

London, March 31.-The house OF
commons last night, after a lengthy
debate on the question of home rule
for Ireland, adopted by vote of 319
to 157 a resolution moved by John
E. Redmond, the Nationalist leader,
that "in the opinion of this house
a solution of this question can only
be attained by giving the Irish people
legislative and executive control Of all
purely Irish affairs" after it had been
amended by adding the words "all
subject to the supreme authority of
the imperial parliament"
1t was known beforehand that the
debate could not have but an academ-
ic interest, because the government
already had pledged itself that there
would be no deal in the matter of home
rule until it had been given a mandate
at the general election. But the de-
through the strong declaration of
Chancellor Asquith, which was all the
weightier because made at the mo-
ment Mr.. Asquith was actually assum-
ing the premiership.
Mr.. Balfour in a brief speech had
accused his opponents of speaking
with two meanings, a Radical mean
ing and Nationalist meaning. He
asked how it was conceivably possible
to carry out great Irish reforms with
British money, except by a British
parliament, and ironically challenged
Mr.. Asquith to clear up this ambig-
uity.
Amid ironical Unionist laughter, Mr..
Asquith rose and said that never in
his life had he felt less embarrassed.
For over twenty years he himself and
his colleagues had steadily and con-
sistently advocated self-government
for Ireland's purely local affairs. He
held that opinion now as strongly as
ever He could not, however, support
Mr.. Redmond's motion in its present
form, because he found in it no explicit
recognition of imperial supremacy,
and, further, because no parliament
would be justified in embarking such
a task unless the matter first had been
submitted to the electorate.
1t would be gross and inexcusable
violation of their promises to do so
in lifetime of the present parliament.
AS far as the present parliament was
concerned, he said, they had expressed
their powers in regard to the problem
of Irish government in the Irish coun-
ellis bill last year.
Timothy Healy closed the debate,
declaring that Mr.. Asquith was mis-
taken If he supposed he would COM
mend himself to the Irish nation by
his speech.
Earl Percy, on behalf of the Union
lists, moved an amendment declaring
the house unalterably opposed to the
creation of an Irish parliament with
a responsible executive, but the
amendment was rejected.

RESCUERS MET DEATH
Second Explosion at the Hanna
Mine Killed so More Men.

Bomb Thrower Mangled-The Senate
Passes the Aldrich Bill - Refused
Hearing on Free Pulp-Franchot'
Death Due to Accident - Chester
Gillette Executed.
Between 65 and 20 miners lost their
lives in a series of explosions late on
Saturday night in coal mine No. of
the Union Pacific Coal company at
Hanna, Wyo. The explosions were
caused by coal dust and each was fol-
lowed by fire.
The first explosion occurred at 3
o'clock in the afternoon, killing eigh-
teen miners, including a superinten-
dent and three bosses.
The second explosion occurred at
1890 o'clock at night, snuffing out
the lives of from 40 to 80 rescuers in
cluding State Mine Inspector D. M.
Ellie. The names of the men killed in
first explosion are shown in the compa-
ny's books, but those of the rescu-
ers are not shown, as no record was
kept of those who volunteered for this
dangerous work
The regular force of men employed
at mines Nos. and 3 were pressed in
to rescue work, which is extremely
difficult.
The bodies of four of the eighteen
men who lost their lives in the first
explosion, were found Saturday night,
but owing to the increased volume of
gas, which threatened to explode at
any moment no effort was made to
remove them to the surface.
Fire started in the colliery a week
ago. Since that time attempts at reg
ular intervals were made to extinguish
the blaze. Saturday it was deemed
unsafe to send miners down into the
workings, and they were told not to
report for duty. Superintendent
Briggs, with the best and most exper-
fenced men in the camp, went into
the mine to fight the fire, but at 2
o'clock the flames were beyond their
control.
At O'Clock the fire reached the gas
and terrific explosion followed. In
few minutes many men volunteered
to enter the mine and to rescue any
possible survivor The fire hindered
the rescuers, but they made some
progress. After a long struggle the
volunteers got well into the mine.
Those on the surface had begun to ex-
pect results from the intrepid daring
of the rescuers, but at 1O;3O o'clock
the camp was startled by a second ex-
plosion that partly shut off the shaft
of the mine and most likely killed the
volunteers. The victims are all be-
low the tenth level and it is probable
that the flames have consumed their
bodies.

Senator's Death Due to an Accident.


Senator S. P. Francnot, who died in
Montreal Tuesday morning following
an operation, received the injuries
which resulted in his death by falling
headlong over the balustrade of a
stairway in his home on Buffalo ave-
nue., Niagara Falls. Mr.. Franchot
carried a heavy accident insurance
and 1t is known that the companies
interested have been informed of the
manner in which he was injured.
Senator Franchot came home from
Buffalo about Z o'clock on the night
he received the injuries. Mrs. Fran
chot was at his bedside only a few
minutes before the accident, when he
appeared to be sleeping peacefully
1t is supposed Senator Franchot start
ed for the bathroom when half awake
and lost his way in the dark hallway.
In the descent his body struck the
lower stairway railing and then tum-
bled to the floor. His spine was in
jured, resulting in paralysis of the
lower limbs.

ended In bomb explosion.
Seligman Silverstein, the youth In
whose hands the bomb exploded as he
was about to hurl it at Captain Miles
O'Reilly and his squad of twenty men,
is still alive at Bellevue hospital.
Though the explosion tore off his right
hand, temporarily blinded him and
caused frightful bodily injuries he
may survive. AS yet he cannot see,
but the sight of one eye may be re-
stored.
Seven men arrested after the bomb
explosion were arraigned in court
OF the number six called themselves
Russians. One of them was an Amer
lean. The foreigners were held in
$4,000 bail each for further examina-
ton, while the American was held
without bail. They are. charged with
taking part in riot.
The body of Ignatz Hildebrand, the
only person killed by the bomb explo-
sion, was given to his wife and taken
to Orange, N. j., for burial. Mrs.
Hildebrand, said that her husband had
owned several tailor shops in New
York but recently had been interested
in a grocery at Roseville, N. ]. He
had been in this country thirty years,
was a Republican and so far as she
knew always voted that ticket.
The police did not make much pro-
gress with Silverstein, who although
able to talk, would not discuss his
act. He appeared Indifferent to his
fate, and when asked If he would see
his two sisters, who had called at the
hospital, replied only: 81 don't want to

Refused Hearing on Free Pulp.

The effort on the part of the
American Newspaper Publishers as.
.sociation to secure legislation by con-
gress putting print paper and wood
pulp on the free list has received
sudden shock because of the absolute
refusal of the ways and means COM
mittee to even give them hearing.
Mr.. Ridder, speaking on the sub
ject, said:
Il have seen President Roosevelt
on this subject repeatedly and he gave
me the most positive assurances that
he would send a special message to
congress urging that print paper and
wood pulp be put upon the free list.
On the strength of his statement l
have urged the newspaper publishers
of the United States to support him
in his efforts to do us justice.
Apparently the sole obstruction
lists are on the ways and means COM
mlttee, and i hope the publishers of
the country will take immediate
steps to bring a majority of that com.
mittee to realizing sense of their
duty in the matter. Unless prompt
and vigorous action is taken the meas
ure is likely to fail. If it does the
paper combine will maintain the pres
ent high prices, or may even make
it an excuse for advancing these
prices.
"If we fail to put the manufactured
article on the free list the Canadian
government may impose a prohibitive
export duty on the logs and then the
situation would become most serious.
1t would not only prove disastrous to
the public interests, but it means
that there would be still greater de-
struction of our forests with all the
attendant evil consequences"

New Orleans. La, Nov. 21.-Ten or
more persons are dead and twice that
number were injured today when a
boiler on the Mississippi river steamer
II. NJ. Carter exploded, near Bayou
Cola, about 100 miles north OF New
