16. In tbe course of an interview in the lobby of tbe House of Commons last evening, in regard to the opening of parliament by King Edward and tbe attitude of tbe Irish party, Mr. John Redmond said: "While the peers and commoaers were jostling each other In vulgar baste to pay obeisance to Edward VII. at the opening of Parliament, every Irish member deliberately abstained from any participation in tbe pageant, which was only a mockery to our people, poverty stricken and oppressed as they are. At the meeting of tbe I rish national party, it was unanimously decided that, in consideration of Ireland's present condition, deprived of constitutional fieedom and overtaxed by English rule, against which we must ever protest, the Irish members would tate no part in the ceremonies Inaugurating tbe new reign.

Tbe resolution was unanimous. "So Intense Is this feeling among us that for the first time in ten years 80 members met in a united party in Westminsiertoday. Tnev determin ed on a vigorous campaign against the new King. They intend not ody to discuss Irish questions, but to inter fere in every British question which may ari-e. The King's speech gave the first indication of what the result of a revival of the movement in Ireland means.

We demand 'Complusory mle of estates by Irish laadlords. The government now proposes to introduce a bill offering Inducements to Irish landlords to sell tbese estates volun tarily. This will not do, but the pro-poi-al Is an akknowledgement the power of our new movement. Wepuiposeto expose the iniquity of tbe Boar war and to make a general assault along tbe line. In other words, tbe accession of tbe King In no ay alters the attidude of Ireland to England.

On tbe contrary, having a man to fight, Ireland will relinquish her chivalrous attitude to tbe late Queen, and we demand to know once for all whether our constitutional rights are to be awarded to us or not. Last evening Mr. Redmond received a message from Boston, signed by Mr. O'Callagban, saying: "Members of the United Irish League of Boston bid the Irish party Godspeed in beginning the fight." Mr. Kedmond's amendment to the address In favor of the compulsory sale of Irish estates will be seconded by Mr.

Thomas Wallace Russell, form er Parliamentary secretary to the loeni government board. It was reported in the ioDoy or trie Commons last evening that the government inleads to raise the civil list to 500,000, and the proposal is likey to meet with considerable opposition PLAINFIELD.
