REDMOND WARNS
THE PARLIAMENT

London, April 11-AbsOlute
calm seems to prevail among
the Sim Fein party, says a
Central News dispatch from
Dublin, but it is understood that
orders have been given to all
sections of the Irish volunteers
regarding action to be taken in
the event Irish cOnscriptiOn is
agreed upon.
At a meeting of many public
bodies fiery speeches have
been made and strong resOlu-
tiOns have been passed against
the application of the man
power bill to Ireland.
Irishmen maintain the right to say
whether they shall be conscripted,
Capt william A. Redmond, son of
the late John E. Redmond, declared
yesterday in his first speech in the
house of commons since he was elect
ed to thee onstituency formerly held
by his father. His speech was during
discussion of the government man
power bill The captain was in
military uniform and occupied his
fathers old seat in the house.
In 1914, he said, Ireland was
nearly ablaze with enthusiasm on the
side of the Allies, but the sentiment
of the Irish people had since changed
toward the war, owing to distrust of
the British government and in the
word of British ministers.
By the governments present &C.
tion the Ireland of tomorrow, he
added, would be in open hostility tc
the war. 1t would require armies IL
Ireland to recruit battalions. Capt
Redmond warned the house that il
the government pursued its presen
policy there would soon be no Irisl
party in the house of commons, bu
there would be much harder nut tC

CLOSING IS LOWER ON
STOCK EXCHANGE.

NEW YORK. April 11.-There was
show of weakness at the opening
OF the stock market today, resulting
chiefly from selling by room traders,
who looked on the war news as disap-
pointing. First prices ranged from
fractional to one point declines.
There was no continuation of the
pressure. however, and prices moved
up fractionally.
Trading was very quiet after the
start.
The market held fairly well during
the first hour, but later there was a
liquidating movement from many
sources, causing losses OF from 1 to
more than . points.
Steel common sold down about
point, and Reading, selling in fairly
large blocks, dropped q to 1855.
