IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS

London, Nov. 1s.-The approach
ing visit to this country of Patrick
Ford, editor of the Irish World. of
New York, and O'Meagher Condor
was the occasion of an extraordinar.
attack in the house of commons.
James Craig. unionist member from
the eastern division of Down opened
the fight by asking Premier Asquith
IL he was aware that Mr.. Ford, who
had been declared by three judges TO
be a known advocate of the use of
dynamite, and Mr.. Condor, who had
been sentenced to death for the muir
der of an English policeman, intend
ed visiting this country.
Mr.. Craig asked also whether II
censes permitted them to DO so, and,
If not, what action the executive pro-
posed to take.
Earl Winton, conservative. followed
this up with reference to the finding
of the Parnell commission by asking
whether "any steps had been taken
to prevent these well known agltators
from coming to this country"
Home Secretary Gladstone an
swered Earl Winton in these words:
Condor Was Pardoned.
81 am not aware of the intentions
of these persons. Neither of them is
the holder of a license"
John Redmond Immediately jumped
to his feet and holly appealed TO the
speaker. One of the persons men-
toned. he informed the speaker, was
an Official of the American govern
ment, and il was incredible that such
epithets were permitted to be applied
to a high official. who has been in the
service of the United States for 20
years.
The speaker agreed that IL the
statements in question were true they
ought not TO appear. MIR. Craig offered
TO send Mr.. Redmond proofs of the
truth of the facts stated in his ques
ton. Mr.. Gladstone, recognizing the
insufieiency of his first reply, supple
mented It with the following state
ment:
'sMr. Ford, so far as I know, has
not been convicted of any criminal
offense in this country; as regards
Mr.. Condor, a royal pardon, under
the great seal, was given him In
1878"

increasing greenbacks by $4,000

panic of 1898, congress approved q
measure providing for the coinage Of
