defeated in
-The govern- j
the house of
Irish leader, for a reduction of the Ir-
ish education estimates. As it was
in the nature of a snap division engi
neered by the nationalists, the govern-
ment refused to resign but it was re-
garded as another straw showing the
directio nof the wind.
Mr. Redmond's motion was made
with the obpect of calling attention to
Irish grievances. The division was
taken almost imnydiately af|lei the
commencement of the discussion wlic t
the liberals and nationalists were in
strong force. The result was greeted
with great cheering, especially from ;
(the Irish benches} The opposition
immediately moved to report prog-
ress.
Premier Balfour oppo e.l the mo-
tion. He admitted amidst laughter,
that it was obvious the government j
had been defeated 011 a proposal to re-
duce a vote by $500, but there was a
considerable amount of financial busi-
ness to be transacted before March
It and he did not see why any time
should be wasted. Mr. Balfour ad led
that the honorable member had suc-
ceeded in reducing the vote for 1 rish
dtication by $500 and the government
accepted the opinion of the house on
1he subject.
Mr. Redmond reported: "We have
defeated the governemnt". It was then
that Mr. Redmond moved to report
progress. This was defeated by 171
to 146 votes, the government majority
being 25. The government in the in-
terim had succeeded in mustering
enough ministerialists to save the sit-
uation, as in the event of a second ad.
verse vote ths would have been boun I
to resign.
The defeat of the government was
the result of a successful coup planned
by Mr. Re Intond and t e -eni r whip
of the Irish parliamentary parly, Sir
Thomas Esmonde, yesterday after
noon.
Seeing a short list of questions for
today and knowing that the majority
of the house expected the Irish mem-
bers to occupy all the afternoon in
discussing Irish education, Mr. Red-
mond and Sir Thomas decided to force
a division almost immediately after
questions' time, when Che greater
number of the government supporters
would still be quietly lunching at their
clubs. The maneuvers succeeded t<.
perfection.
Mr. Redmond rose holding a large
sheet of notes in his hands as if in-
tending to make a lengthy speech, but
to the astonishment of all except those
m tne secret, the Irish leader spoke
only a few words and then set down,
while his party demanded the division
(or which such careful plans had been
laid. A scene of indescribable excite-

Russian pa- Clute, at Acme, Arizona, 011 Monday
morning, of heart failure. The news
came as a great shock to his relatives
and friends, as only a few days ag<
Sidney received a letter from his
brother, full 'of bright, hopeful plans
for the future. He stated that he had
just returned fro nia mountain trip, at
which time he suffered from a severe
colli, and in a few days would go to
another point to organize a lodge of
Red Men. Francis Clute, better known
to his friends as Frank, was deputy
great Incohon, of. the Red Men in
New Mexico and Arizona, being con-
sidered one of the most successful
men in the United States in organiza-
tion work. He left El Reno in 1 ■),>e
to take up the work in those states,
moving his family to Las Vegas, Ar-
rangements will be made for the fun-
eral when Sidney Clute reaches l.as
Vegas, for which point he left this
morning.
I'rank Clute is well known all over
Oklahoma. While in the territory for

Tokio, March 15.—H is strongly be-
lieved here that the Russinn licet aliau
dotied Port Arthur after the iourtn at-
tack was made upon it 1 y the Japa11e.se
licet and is endeavoring to reach Via I
ivottock. Confirmation of this move-
ment is not obtainable from any re-
liable source, but recent scouting in
the vicinity of Port Arthur has failed
to reveal the presence of any Russian
warships. It seems logical enough
that the Russians should attempt a
dash for Vladivostock, where it is pos-
sible to dock larger ships, effect a
junction with the armored cruiser
squadron and secure a base of opera-
tions while possessing a lequate land
defenses. The hopelessness of confin-
ing at Pert Arthur is manifest, while
a dash for VlaJivostock might suc-
ceed contrary to the opinion previous
ly expressed. Vice .Admiral Toga i
unwilling to run the ri-k of dividing
his battleship squadron and contin-
ues to operate the mx battleships to
gether. If the Russians should maki
an attempt to reach Vladivostock it is
believed they will try a dash through
the Korean straits rather than en*.c.'
the Japan sea through the Sugaru
straits.
