LONDON, Aug. 7.—The Irish co
ercion bill was passed by the house
of commons yesterday by a vote of
206 to 18. Exciting scenes marked
the progress of the measure to its
third reading, and it was with great
difficulty that order was maintained
while the vote was being taken.
When the result of the vote was
announced, Joseph Devlin, National
ist from Belfast, started a demon
stration and was suspended and sent
from the house, and was followed
from the building by his National
ist colleagues, a majority of the
Labor party members and some Lib
erals and Independents. As the pro
cession filed out of the chamber,
those in line were jeered by the
Supporters of the ministry.
KEY FOR MANNIX.
DUBLIN, Aug. 7—The Dublin
corporation has voted unanimously
to extend the freedom of the city
to Archbishop Mannix, of Australia,
who is now enroute across the At
lantic from the United States. The
British government plans to prevent
the archbishop from visiting Ireland,
because of his utterances on the
Irish questions, but plans are being
made, notwithstanding, for his re
ception here.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 7.—
Officials of the Japanese embassy
in this city have issued a statement
in which they make emphatic de
nial of the charge that Japanese
officials, and especially the Japanese
consul at Los Angeles, have been
guilty of conniving at the smug
gling of Japanese immigrants into
the United States by way of the
Mexican border, as charged by Con
gressman Albert Johnson, of the
house immigration committee.
FANTASTIC.
TOKIO, Aug. 7.—The statement
of Congressman Albert Johnson of
Tacoma recently that Japanese are
being smuggled into the United
States in great numbers, has had a
tendency to increase the feeling here
against the United States, created
originally by the recent note of pro
test from the American Government
and increased by subsequent attacks
by Japanese newspapers.
The Japanese foreign office has
issued a statement in which the
Johnson charges are branded as
“fantastic and improbable.”

several hundred citizen-volunteers.
Two hundred and fifty regular
soldiers reached the city at an early
hour this morning from Fort Logan,

j issued a proclamation placing the
j city under military control. As a
| result of the appearance of the

day and it is expected that another

tion company to resume business.

currence of the rioting last night,

of these precautions, fighting was
! resumed at an early hour and con
