The more aggressive members of the Irish party had their way at a meeting la the House of Commons yesterday, with the result that irlslunsu will ttgnt the government both In the house and In Uie constituencies.

A pro-Liboral member of the party urged that tne English Home Rulers be given auother opportunity at a later date legislate tor Ireland, but the majority favored sterner measures to punlsn the Liberals tor falling to give Ireland a broader nu-aaure of Home Ruio than was con-'lainud In in rejected Irish council bill. it was ui. i ucoideci iu request that a meeting of Nationalist Directory be held June 2u in order tnai the situation may ici.ive the consideration which its gm; deserves."

Iu the Commons ihe Nationalists will take their first rv e.ige by opposing the army bill, ihe moat important measure' the government tw has before the house, and they will also raise the question of the i-tabllBhment of an Irish university o.i the dlseussloh of the appropriation mr Queen's College, Dublin, In the Irish tiinates. Whether this means which might further upset the gisernment's program for the session the Irish leaders will not say.

After the meeting John E. Redjnmd In behalf of the Irish laity Issued a statement reciting the l.iant history of the movement and concluding with advice how to best obtain the goal. The statement concludes; "Another proof has been afforded that Home Rule can not be won by a policy of conciliation alone. It can be won only by hard fighting, vigorous agitation in Ireland, an active, pledge-bound, disciplined party in the house of commons, a thorough organization of the Irish vote In Great Britain, and It use, absolutely Independent of English party Interests, to push forward tho cause of Home Buie by taking every opportunity and every means that offer In England and tn Great Britain to force upon public attention the grievances Ireland has suffered and the ruinous effects of British rule In that country. If the Irish people show themselves ea-nest on these lines, whatever government may be In power will find Itself at an early date coerced Into Introducing a bill for the better government of Ireland, very different from thafrecently rejected." STUART VETOES PENSION BILL GOVERNOR 8AYS IT WOULD C08T $4,500,000 YEARLY FOR VETERANS.

TO PROVIDt FJR CHARITIES Harrisburg, June 12. 'I yield to no man in my gratitude, admiration and loysdty to those who so valiantly served the nation lu the hour of need, said Governor Stuart yesterday in a message vetoing the Cochran soldiers pension bill passed by the recent legislature. But the appropriations already made by tlie legislature exceed the revenue of the slate by many millions," the governor contkiues In Ills message, which was filed In the office of tne secretary of the commonwealth last night, and will not permit me to approve this bill without reducing, even more materially than I have already been obliged do, the'approprlaiiona to the educational institutions, to the hospitals for the sick and injured, poor consumptives and the indigent Insane, and to the various charitable institutions of the state, which appropriations, long before the pension bill was even Introduced, 1 promised the people of Pennsylcanla would be made as liberally as the revenues of the state would permit. 8snats Killed Revenue Bills. Had the senate passed the revenue bills sent to It by the house they would have produced sufficient revenue to pay the soldiers' pensions provided for by the Cochraif bill.

Instead, however, the senate passed only one revenue bill, that levying a nominal tax on shuffie-boards, billiard tables, etc. The bills killed by the senate levied a tax on anthracite coal, brokers and manufacturing corporations, and would have produced 39,000,000 revenue. These bills were passed by the house and were strangled by the senate finance committee, with the result that the governor was compelled to veto the Cochran bill In order to keep within the estimated revenue for the next two years. John M. Scott, chairman; William H.

Keyser, James P. McNlchol and Elliott Rodgtrs, Penrotiea representative In the senate, controlled this committee and Influenced Its action in slaying these revenue producers. Bill Carriad Nearly $6,000,000. The Cochran bill provided for the Inauguration of a state pension Ostein on January 14 next, and carried an appropriation of nearly $6,000,000 for five quarterly pension payments before the next legislature could appropriate more. About 60,000 soldiers would have been eligible to pensions under the hill, although Ita beneficiaries were limited to veterans who served In Pennsylvania regiments and are now residents of the state.

Charities to Be Cared For. This veto will enable the governor to take care of many of the public and private charities which would have had to stand a heavy cut in the appropriations If this measure had been allowed to stand. The governor states that it woufd cost the state 34,500,000 to pension exveterans. Mra. W.

Ho suffered from dla- betes. He was unconscious since last night. Mr. Brooks death failed him last fal and he (spent the winter tn Florida returning home In the early spring much improved.

White' attending a funeral some weeks later he contracted a cold and was obliged to undergo an operation, from which ha recovered sufficiently to be about the city. Later he went to Atlantic City, returning last week. His condition was alarming. Last night he grew worse and It was seen that there was no hope for his recovery. He passed away at 4 o'clock.

The members of his family were with when he died. Mr. Brooks was 61 years of age. He Is survived by five children, three sons and two daughters, us follows: Thomas. George and John and Mrs.

Besides being president ond heavily Interested In the Dime bank, Mr. Brooks was also Interested In several other business ventures In the city and valley. He was one of the city's solid men. Following his return from Florida In the spring Mr. Brooks announced his intention of ereottng a twelve-story bank and office building in the central city, to be known as the Brooks building.

He was Interested In the growth and welfare of the city and also took a prominent part In any movement to do with the citys advancement. Mr. Brooks was an unusually fine man. He met with remarkable success, but It never fcpdlled him. He was Just as natural the last day he was On the streets as he was forty years ago.

From humble circumstances he attained considerable wealth, mainly through his own efforts. always due to no force of circumstances that Unable to Find Any Trace of Seven Officers and Six Midshipmen, Who Left Exposition Grounds at Midnight Bound for the Minnesota In Hampton Roads. Washington, June 18. -Th mystery surrounding the lose of the launch of the Minnesota with nix midshipmen and sew officers In Hampton Roads, has not yet been solved. There Is a Strong belief, however, the boat was run down by a steamer.

In fact, a report comes from Norfolk1 that Admiral Evans knows the name of ttae vessel, and Is preparing to cause the arrest of her captain and crew. The navy department has sent In structlonu to make a most thorough Investigation. Admiral Evans has at ready convened a board of Inquiry. Much gratification was felt by officers at the navy deoyttment today over the fact that lJeutuandull, who was at first reported to have been lost with the. others, put In an appearance later in the day.

He had intended taking the launch back to the ship, and missed It by only a few minutes, neces sltuting his stopping at a hotel in Norfolk. The Missing Man. The following is list of the missing men Midshipmen. FIELD. PHILIP IL.

Lsft Grounds at Midnight. The Minnesota's launch Is known to have left Discovery Landing at he Exposition grounds shortly after 12 o'clock Ust night and the theory of the officeis of the fleet now In the Roads la that the launch struck something and went down and that all were drowned. The officers and midshipmen were returning to their ship from an old Virginia dance, which had been given In honor of the midshipmen from Annapolis and the cadets from West Point at the Jamestown Exposition. The launch carried a good-sized party and the men appeared to be In high spirits after gn eevenlng of How the launch buoyed up by so many airtight compartments could have been lost Is yet a matter of speculation. Qne theory is that It was run Into and cut In two by a passing vessel.

which may hava passed completely over the unfortunate -occupants of the launch, and another Is that the boiler In the launch may have exploded, tearing up the launch and killing the occupants. Those In the. launch must have met with sudden death, as it Is likely that some of them would have swam ashore had the launch merely foundered. Baltimore, Md June 12.

Washington Juna 13. Committees from the senate and house will accompany the remains of the late Senator John T. Morgan to his old home at Selma, Alabama, where they will be interred. Funeral services will be held In this city on Thursday. The cause assigned for Senator Morgan's death was angina pectoris.

He had been critically ill for the past ten days. His two daughters were at the bedside when the end came. Senator Morgan would have been 83 years old on June 20th. He had been a member of the United States senate for thirty years. Only two other senators, Hale and Allison, have served so long, and only two others.

Pettus, of Alabama, and Whyte, of Maryland, have reached ao venerable an age. Senator Morgan's name will always be associated with the Isthmian canal. tn season and out of season, for almost quarter of a century, he urged the necessity of-a waterway to connect the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans. His preference was for the Nlcaragtla route, and when congress yoted for the Panama route Senator Morgan was disappointed man. This defeat embittered the last years of his life.

During the last session especially his health failed. Usually regular In hjs attendance upon the sessions the senate, he was unable to be present more than half a dozen times last winter. It was merely physical debility, however. His remained just as vigorous and bright aa eve if and up to the time that he was forced to take to his bed he worked continuously at his desk up to a late hour at night, He was a voluminous writer and. wrote out In his own band all the bulky reports and long speeches with which he used to entertain the senate.
