The violence In the present trouble,

which wa also led by Larkln. It I
aided, howeer, by an organlxed force
with military pretensions who hate

On th" day the. despatch was sent, the

The ineetlnB Itself was a weekly one
of tho United Irish Ie.igue of America,
called for the purpose of asserting that
the great mass of Irish Americans are
loyal to the united States and to de
plore the Dublin Insurrection nnd all
other means not peaceful of gaining
homo rule. There were enough present
to Jam tho meeting room, Including
many women, who seemed no whit
frightened at tho disturbance.
After nulet had been restored, there

Mr. O'Connell was plainly of the opin

financed with (icrmuti money.
"I don't know thnt thoso men have

"because I haven't seen It, but all of
you know what Is tho general belief.
Speaking of the big Irish convention
In this city at which many pron.lnent
Irishmen denounced Kngland, h -ad;
"That coventlon was fostered by tho
dirty, filthy gold of one of the belllg !
ents. It did not show tho sentiment of
the Irish people."
"We will support this Government
with our hearts, our minds and our lives,
ngalnst any power, prince Or iKitentate,"
continued Mr. O'Connell. and tho cheers,
slumping ami handclapplng fairly shook
the floor. "The Irish peoplo meant what
they said when they swore to Mipport
tho Constitution of the United States."
Resolutions deploring armed revolt In
Ireland aa tho surest way to defeat home
rule nnd commending President Wilson
for keeping thla country out of tho war
were passed unanimously, o were reso
lutions awiertlng tho Americanism of
Irish Americana.
Orange lodges of Ireland Issued a gen

this senteno appears:
"In a crisis like the present It Is the
duty of every loyal man to place his

NEW BRITISH CRISIS
OVER MILITARY BILL
KiiiK Grorgo, rreinier Asquith

Confer.
London. April 25. An official
nouncement was made to-night
an
that King George had come to Ioudon from
Windsor nnd conferred with Premier
Asqulth and Lord Kitchener this after
noon. He then returned to Windsor.
In some circle the conference was
thought to concern the possibility of
another Cabinet crisis over the question
of conscription. It wa bell-ted also
that the King's trip might concern the
securing of h'.a approval of the new
military service bill.
The lellef la generally prevalent now
that tho Government inuit Intro
duce a general compulsory service hill,
possibly containing a clause for trial
of voluntary recruiting for a month
or so before thr enforcement of the bill
begins.
The War Council of tho cawnet naa
a long session thl morning and met
again In the afternoon. It I under'
stood that tin deliberation were ad
journed until to-morrow.

nouncement of Fremler At-qulth that
the Government would not pre.- the
mllltaiv service bill ts characterized by
the morning papers a n new .Govern-
nient crisis. The parliamentary corre-
st-ondent of the Onllv .Vctr.i say.
The Incident show that it is useless
for sections of the Minister to agree, on
a compromise if they have not procured
the consent of their respective sup
porter. "The Cabinet wa deluded by th s.
p r.,litnM. fimt iisoined tli.'it hec.l!l..
tlm plan whs not then upset it would 1
afterward reccite the a-ent nf the
House. The secret elon are now
condemned even by their authors as
absurd and not to be repeated, The. al
leged compromise obviously satlstle no
body, and the Cabinet had to withdraw
the bill or Invite Immediate defeat,
which would have meant its departure
from office,
"The objection to Premier Asqulth'
bill was led In the Hnute of Commons:
by Sir Kdward c.irson and Labor mem
bers. They protested that It waa not
fair to retain men In the army whose
time had expired when other men had
not entered the army at all "
The i(Ii Vcicv call attention to the
fact th it the Nationalist party ha de
ided to withdraw the support which it
members have been giving the Coalition
Government. Henceforth the members
will act Independently.
