of the Irish Nationalists in the new

PRACTICALLY IN
STATE OF SIEGE
Philadelphia Streets Swarm
With Policemen.
CITIZENS FEAR TO RIDE

Boycott Street Cars Operated by Non
union Men Rather Than Face a
Chance of Stopping Bullet or a
Brick-NearIy Three Hundred Cars
Damaged, Some Seriously, In Sun.
day Nights Rioting.
Philadelphia, Feb. 22.-With every
member of the police force on duty
and the regulars augmented by spe-
cially picked men sworn in for the
purpose this city is practically in a
state of siege. Following the rioting
of the previous day street fighting was
resumed when the street car company
the employees of which are on strike,
attempted to run its cars.
Because most workmen were forced
to resume their regular employment
the rioting was not OF SO severe a
character and the police managed to
break up all the fights without serious
delay
A drizzling rain, carried through the
street by a brisk wind, made pedes-
trianism most uncomfortable, but
many walked to their work rather
than face the chance of stopping a
brick or bullet by patronizing the
cars.
Vehicles of all descriptions are
transporting persons to and from their
work and team owners are reaping a
harvest, but are unable to take care
of more than an infinitesimal part OF
the traffic.
In the Kensington district, where
the worst rioting took place, many
workmen are idle. This section is in.
habited mostly by working people and
those who work at a distance re.
mained at home rather than walk and
as they are absolutely In sympathy
with the strikers they would not
patronize the cars.
The police are coming in for severe
criticism because of the fact that on
the Lancaster avenue division police
men are running the cars with the
nonunion men hidden in the doorway
of the cars telling them how to do It
AS an evidence of Sunday nights
rioting 1t Is said by the company that
BOT of its cars were damaged and that
many will have to be rebuilt before be
ing restored to service.
Cars were attacked in various parts
Of the city during the morning. The
most serious outbreak occurred In the
mill district, in the northeastern sec
tion, when crowd, after beating the
motorman and conductor of a car,
wrecked the conveyance. The two
men injured mad to be taken to hos
pitals. The motorman's skull is be.
lieved to be fractured.

Premier Asquith's avowed determine.
tion to regularize the present con
duct of financial affairs before attack
ing the house of lords. The most i'm
portant pronouncement was reserved
for the end of the speech, which
closed with the paragraph upon the
relations between the two houses as
given above.
The reading of the speech occupied
only four minutes. At the close their
majesties retired and the session was
suspended for two hours. American
Ambassador Reid and William Phil
lips, secretary of the American EN-
bassy, were among the diplomats
present.
During the intermission the speech
was the subject of keen analysis In
the Hobbies of both houses. 1t was
regarded as evident that the cabinet
had decided against the extremists
who desire the abolition of the upper
chamber and is anxious only to de
prive the house of lords of the power
of veto.

SINNERS BECOME FANATIcAl
Remarkable Demonstration at EvanaeI.
ist Meeting.

Youngstown, o., Feb. 22.-One oi
the most remarkable religious demon
strations ever witnessed occurred at
the Youngstown tabernacle when
Evangelist Billy" Sunday closed his
six weeks campaign in what was
conceded to be the most wicked city
in Ohio. The thousands who heard
the evangelist deliver the most hair
raising addresses that ever came from
his lips became almost fanatical. Men
and women leaped into the air
screamed, cried, hugged each other
and prayed in most beseeching way
The evangelist himself, carried away
by the great demonstration, invoked
them to continue and at the end OF
the services was accompanied to his
hotel by thousands of enthusiastic
converts, where there was another
demonstration.
1t is estimated that over 5000 poo
pie. anxious to see and hear the eve n.
gelist, were turned away from the
tabernacle.

KING OUTLINES
LIBERAL POLICY
Reads Address at Opening Of
British Parliament.
DOCUMENT VERY BRIEF

Indicates That the Work Of the Ses-
sion Will Be Confined to an Effort
to Curb the Power of the House of
Lords and to the Matter Of Finance.
Substantial Increase In Estimates
for the Navy.
London, Feb. 22.-King Edward
opened in state the third parliament
of his reign. In a momentous speech
from the throne his majesty outlined
the plan of the ministerial campaign
against the house of lords as follows:
Recent experience has disclosed
serious difficulties, due to recurring
differences of strong opinion between
the two branches of the legislature.
Proposals will be laid before you with
all convenient speed to define the re-
1ations between the houses of parlia-
ment SO as to secure the undivided
authority of the house of commons
over finance and its predominance in
legislation. These measures, in the
opinion of advisers, should provide
that this house should be so consti-
tuted and empowered as to exercise
impartially in regard to proposed leg
islation."
The kings speech, which had been
awaited with such profound interest.
proved to be unusually brief and made
plain that the work of the session
would be confined to the matter of
finance and the question of the house
OF lords.
The financial estimates for the com.
ing year were first set forth. These"
said his majesty, .have been framed
with the utmost desire for economy,
but the requirements for the naval
defense of the empire made it neces-
sary to propose a substantial increase
in the cost OF my navy"
Finances in Need Of Attention.
Recording the fact that the expen-
ditures authorized by the last parlia-
ment were being incurred and met by
q recourse to temporary borrowing the
speech declared: Arrangements must
be made at the earliest possible mo-
ment to deal with the financial situa-
tion thus created"
This was taken as confirmation Of
