Redmond Says Whole Liberal Party
is Pledged to Home Rule Policy in
Irish Government in Fullest Form.
First Time in History House
of Commons by. Overwhelm.
ing Majority Passed Such a
Measure.

London, April John r. Red.
mOnd, the nationalist leader, whose
resolution on home rule for Ireland
with some amendments was adopted
in the house of commons by a vote
of 313 to 157. said last night:
For the first time in the history or
the house of commons and overwheim-
ing majority declared itself in favor
of home rule. Gladstone's bill in
1856 was rejected by a majority of
80. His bill in 1903 was carried by
"a majority never beyond 40, and on
certain amendments it decreased to .
or G. The resolution in favor of home
rule last evening was carried by a
majority of 1856.
This result is the more remark
able when the terms of the resolution
are considered. It was not a resolu-
ton in favor of half way house or
deyolution. 1t put the home rule
claim in its frankest and fullest form
for it demanded a parliament in Dub
lin and an executive responsible to
that parliament.
Liberals Are Pledged.
Both the Spokesman of the min
istry pledged not only themselves but
the whole liberal party to home rule.
Secretary Birrell said that the lib
eral party was the home rule party.
Mr.. Asquith declared his unalterable
conviction that home rule was the
only settlement of the Irish question.
Every single member of the admins
tration including not only Mr.. AS
quith, Secretary Birrell and John Nor
ley, but Sir Edward Grey and Secre-
tary Haldane, voted for the resolu-
ton. They only preferred the condi-
ton that they were precluded by their
pledges from introducing such meas
IRE in this parliament.
The ministers declared that this
depended not upon them but upon the
Irish people and the Irish party. We
accept this challenge" concluded Mr.
Redmond, and the business of the
Irish party will be to take such action
in ireland. Great Britain house of
commons as will keep the question o.,
home rule in the forefront of political
issues

AGREE MENT NOT OBSERVED

Cleveland, April 1.-The Iron Trade
Review tomorrow will says: The first
quarter of the year has shown slow
progress in recovering from the deep
depression of December. Progress dur
ing the past month has been confined
almost entirely to finished products. for
whicf there is increased demand dur.
tivity in these lines should not con-
tinue durir the present month a con
siderable increase in the production of
over material will be necessary in or
der to maintain the present percentaee
Ct active capacity of all iron and steel
manufacturing concerns.
While some signs of Improvement in
The pig iron market are noted in the
east. the central west has developed
title business and considerable cuttir g
Of prices. The Cleveland agreement on
delivery prices in central western ter
ritory is now observed by so few pro-
dacers that little is heard of it, and
orders are freely taken at $3.50 valley
for No. ., while other furnaces are
quoting a low as $15.25, and in one
case an Ohio interest sold a fair tor
mage for delivery in eastern Pennsyl-
vania at S14.75 furnace. The principal
sales reported are of malleable at Pitt
adelphia. aggregating about 1000 tons.
An inquiry from st. Louis for 5000 tons
OF basic which had been pending about
a month resulted in an order for 1000
tons being taken. We note the sale of
200 tons of ferro- manganese at SAP, toe
lowest price in three years.
Railroads are showing more disposi-
ton to make repairs and some orders,
including 500 cars by the Lehigh and
New England, $500 tons of axles. and
1000 kegs of bolts by the st. Paul ral /
road are reported. but there is st:il
much uncertainty as to the ability of
re ilroads to meet obligations and for
new expenditures.
1t is clear, however that present sup
Fly of equipment fit for service is in
adequate, and that at a not far distart
date considerable expenditures will be
absolutely necessary.

PEOPLE MAY VOTE
FOR BRYAN DIRECT
J. n. WALLACE STARTS MOVE
MENT TO HAVE DEMOCRATIC
LEADERS, NAME PRINTED ON
OFFICIAL BALLOT OF STATE.

Montgomery. April 1.-tspeeial.l--A
movement looking to the placing of the
name of William j. Bryan as a candi-
date for President on the state demo-
cratic ticket to be voted on by the demo-
cats in the primary to be held on the
18th of May was inaugurated yesterday.
Under the call of the state committee
for the primary. the name of a presi-
Dental candidate will be placed on the
ticket on the petition of 800 qualified
democratic voters. Acting under this on
yesterday John H. Wallace, Jr. vice.
president of the State Bryan Democratic
club circulated in the state capitol a
petition addressed to Chairman Mallory
of the state democratic executive COM
mittee. which was signed by every state
official and practically every employee in
the capitol
Pat McGauley. one of the secretaries of
the Bryan club, is having printed blank
petitions which viii DE Forwarded 10 the
various committeeman of the Bryan club
and to the presidents of the Bryan clubs
that have been organized over the
state: and when these have been
duly signed up they will be
returned to Col John W. Tomlinson at
Birmingham. president of the Bryan
State Democratic club, and will be filed
by Col. Tomlinson on April 20 with Chair
man Mallory.
Expressing his views on the Presidential
situation, Mr. Wallace said
1T is a palpable fact that Mr.. Bryan
will be nominated by the Denver con-
vention without dissenting voice Con-
dtions were never more propitious for
a sweeping democratic victory. The re-
cent panic gives incontestabe evidence
of the fact that the republican Leaders
are unwilling or else incompetent to pro-
tect the welfare of the common masses
of the people. An immediate revision
of the tariff is imperative in order to
curb the encroachment of the trusts
which now practically hold the country
in their constructing coils.
Democratic sentiment is turning to-
ward Gov John Johnson of Minnesota
and there is strong probability OF the
nomination for vice-president being ten
dered him. His great popularity with
the masses in the northwest, his agrees
siveness and earnest desire to conserve
the rights and liberties of the people Will
make him a most valuable factor IN IN
ducing democratic triumph.
"Should the democratic banner be placed
in the hands OF Bryan and Johnson and
safe and patriotic platform adopted by
the Denver convention, new hope Will
be engendered in the hearts of the demo-
Gratis of the nation to such an extent as
to capture enough doubtful states TO
give us a majority of the votes IN the
electoral college"
