FOLLOWED BY UPROAR "Resign 1" Cries the Oppositisn, but Prime Minister Balfour Declares He Will Take Time to Consult With His AssociatesWill Make a Statement Monday London, July 20. The gwernment was defeated in the House of Commons at midnight on an amendment offered by John Redmond, leader of the Irish parliamentary party, to reduce tha Irish land commission. The vote stood 199 in favor of the amendment to 196 against it. Intense excitement followed the announcement of the vote. The Liberals and Irish mem berg stood for some v minutes, cheer ing and shouting "Resign." When the tumult subsided and the usual motion to adjourn the sitting was put, Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-man, the leader of the Liberals, asked whether in view of its defeat, the gov ernment had any statement to make Sir Henry was loudly cheered. Prime Minister Balfour replied that it was impossible to make any statement at present. John Redmond, amid Irish cheers, reminded Mr. Balfour that he repeatedly declared that he would re sign if he were defeated ;in the1 House. He said that if Mr. Balfour disregard ed this vote of want of confidence it would be contrary to all precedent. Mr. Redmond asked if he were going to swallow this humiliation as. he had swallowed every other during the last few years. He declared that if the government clung to office despite the vote it would be the duty of - the op position to use every means to f pre vent such outrage. : ' V , " A Mr. Balfour, speaking with his ac customed coolness, said that Mr. Red mond greatly agitated himself about a matter which would be settled in due time. This statement caused an uproar. Continuing, Mr. Balfour said he was unconscious of any humiliation. (Here the uproar was renewed ; with added vigor.) The government has heretofore received the support of the party which constituted a large ma jority of the House, but it would not continue in office unless it could do so with dignity. It has been defeated,, as many previous " governments had been defeated, on a vote on the estimates. It must cons'der whether to re submit the vote. He felt under no obligation to give a "decision now as he desired to consult his colleagues first. He would make a statement Monday, when by a coincidence there would be an opportunity for proving whether the government enjoyed the confidence of a majority of the House. This was a reference to the fact that the government has allotted Monday for a vote of censure moved by Earl Grey. . ' , The House rose at 12:40 a. in. amid loud opposition cries of "Resign." , The House was in commmittee ' of supply when Mr. Redmond made 'his motion. Mr. Long, president of the local government board, had been mak ing a general statement, of the work ing of the Irish land purchase act of 1903. The appplications under the act, he said, had reached nearly! 26,000,000 pounds, sterling, but the money to meet them did .not reach 10,000,000 pounds. It was not desirable to raise a loan to meet the deficiency, and tie proposed, therefore, to amend the act sV as to enable the vendors to take tVo-thirds of the purchase money in stock.; He was aware that the land owners were oppposed to this, but he hoped they would reconsider the matter. - . Mr. Redmond followed, opposing Mr. Long. He declared that the act had completely broken down, financially and otherwise. It had not dealt with the problem of congestion or reinstated those who had been evicted from their holdings! He moved to reduce the board as a protests The debate dribbled throughout the evening. There was a thin attendance of members. ' . ' " Spanish Mob on a Rampage r , , Madrid, July 20. The octroi duties adopted by the municipality ; of Sala manca led to serious rioting there yes terday. Several hundred persons ; in vaded the town hall while the coun cillors were in session and savagely attacked them. One man was so badly; injured it is feared 'he is dying. .An-, other fled to an adjoining room "and barricaded- the door. The mob burst into the room, and according' to one account .threw him from' a window. Another version says he jumped'from the window. At any rate he was fatal.; ly injured. The police tried to disperse the rioters and serious fighting foi-i lowed. Many on both sides were wounded. Reinforcements of gend armes eventually duelled the mob, - Bureau Chiefs Jo Make the f Crop Reports REPLY SENT TO MILLER Representatives of the American Cotton Manufacturers Association WiU See Secretary Wilson Next Monday-District Attorney Work ing on the Holmes Case : By THOMAS J. PENCE Washington, July 20. Special. Sec retary , Wilson of the department of agriculture has notified President Miller of - the American Cotton Manu facturers' Association that next Mon day would be a convenient time for him . to receive a delegation from that organization to discuss ' the necessity of a new, cotton report. Mr. Wilson intends to leave Washington August 1 for the purpose of making a tour of the forest reserves, and it is his desire to settle aU matters connected with the cotton crop report before that time. It was said at the department that the delegation of the American Cotton Manufacturers Association that is to call on Mr. Wilson would probable be selected a.t Charlotte, N. C, today. It Is understood that this associa tion, as well as the officials of the Southern- Cotton Association, desires an entirely new report. Secretary -Wil- , son and Mr. Hays are inclined to be lieve that with some revision the old report can be made accurate. Mr. Hay's' review of the June report will determine what course is to be fol lowed. An important administrative reform in the' division of statistics was today decided upon by Secretary Wilson. The office.. v chlaf statistician has been abolished and crop reports in the fu ture wall be published under the im mediate direction of a board of bureau chiefs. Secretary Wilson will be the head of this board. In his absence the assistant secretary of the department will be its chairman. By this means Secretary Wilson is hopeful that con fidence Jn the accuracy of the govern ment crop reports will be re-established and the controversies that raged between the department and the va rious industries during the administra tion of Chief Statistician John Hyde avoided. "No one need apply for Mr. Hyde's job," said Secretary Wilson, "It no longer exists. The work will be done in -a different way hereafter." Crop re ports in the future will be done right under his eye, -and in his absence tt will be looked after by his assistant, Mr. Haws. District Attorney Morgan H. Beach, who is investigating the cotton crop scandal, had a conference this morn ing with Solicitor General and Act ing Attorney General Hoyt. Mr. Beach returned from New York last night. While both parties to this morning's conference! were exceedingly reticient it . is understood that lr. Beach took the first opportunity of imparting to his superior the information' he had gained .while in the metropolis. Mr. Beach also visited Boston, where he had an interview with Attorney Gen eral Moody on the subject of the cot ton scandal inquiry. - While no details can be ascertained as to the progress of the investigation under Beach's direction, it is under stood that a favorable and satisfactory advance is being made, and that it is becoming more and more apparent every day that when the district attor ney completes his report there will be more than sufficient evidence- to war rant the government in proceeding criminally against former Assistant Statistician Holmes and his associates. Secretary Cheatham of the Southern Cotton Growers' Association is still in Washington and is giving valuable, aid to the district attorney in his search for evidence against the cotton con spirators. He will probably remain here until Mr. Beach has finished his labors. Secretary Wilson said today that the reason the publication of the June to bacco crop report had been postponed for a. month was in order to demon strate beyond question that the figures had not been tampered with. He add ed, ' however, that there was no sus spicion that they were not stranght. When the acting statisticain com pletes his .work on the report and turns his attention to the bureau itself it is expected that a number of changes will be announced amounting almost to ah entire reorganization of the force. It is known that one employe of the bureau a woman who has run things with a high hand under the old regime, is already slated for dismissal, and it is understood that others will follow. - John Seveson, a negro who recently came here from Newberry, S.-'C., was arrested today on the charge of ob taining mooes:, under false nrateusfis. KNIAZ POTEMKIN A Russian Nobleman Comes to Be an American Farmer New York, July 20. A dark tall, broad-shouldered Russian in the dress ,of a peasant landed at Ellis Island Monday from the French liner La Bretagne, and somewhat startled his inquisitors by displaying about $25,000 in cash and drafts. He gave the name of Kniaz Potemkin and said that the rebel Russian battleship had been named for his father, Prince Potem kin. He was asked why he had cross ec? the sea in the steerage. He said he was displeased with conditions in 'his own country and had decided to leave it and strike out on his own account in the farming district of the west. He had had some experience In farming and thought that that would be the best thing for him to do in America. He did not feel comfortable among his neighbors, Poultava, in Lit tle Russia, and could not very well begin life over again there. He pre ferred the country where all men were supposed to be equal and where titles did not count. His state, he said,' had been large, but owing to the financial condition of Russia, he could not get for it any thing like what it was worth, and so he sacrificed it to his immediate plans and necessities for- $35,000, nearly all of which he had brought here with him. He had decided to travel Just like other laboring folk. He said he was 35 years old and single, and that he intended to buy a farm in the west near a Russian settlement. He wore three very large diamond rings, which he told an inspector he prized not for their value, but because they were heirlooms, and that he would let every cent of his money go before he would part , with one ring. HELD DEVLIN PAPER - - A Kansas City Bank Under Neces sity of Closing Its Doors Kansas City, Mo., July 20. The City National bank failed to open its doors today.. The bank held paper of C. J. Devlin of Topeka to the amount of up ward of $100,000 and the failure is the direct result of the closing of the First National bank of Topeka, of which Mr. Devlin was the principal stockholder. Some time ago the comptroller of the currency at Washington instructed the officers of ; the , ; City National bank to repair Its capital. This was done by borrowing from a local capitalist. Fol lowing the failure of the First Na tional bank at . Topeka, the Kansas City capitalist became insistent upon repayment of his loan, and his demand caused the officers of the City National to decide upon closing their institution. The only other bank In Kansas City which was caught in the falure of the First , National bank, of Topeka was the American National bank of Kan sas City, which is said to holdup ward of $200,000 Devlin paper. It was said positively today by a leading banker that the other Kansas City in stitutions would not permit this bank to fail. ' TELEGRAPH TERSITIES St. Petersburg, July 20.
