bers OF the Union refusing 20 work for Mr.

The BRITISH PARLIAMENT ON IRISH RE-
FORMs-The House of Commons again went
into committee Monday night, and res sumed the
de bate on the resolution of Mr.. Mcguire relat-
ing TO reforms in Ireland. Mr.. Gregory, the
member for Galloway, arose in support of Mr.
Maguires resolution, and denounced the long
continued English misgovernment Of Ireland.
OF his, he said there seems TO be no end, for
now when the Irish people asked for reform in
the land, in the church, and in the educational
systems. the Ministers eyaded their demands
and offered other char g-s which they did not
want. Mr.. Gladstone said "a TO the church es-
adjustments n was the duty OF the Ministers
OF the Crown 10 mark out and submit a definite
plan for the treatment of that SUBJECT and
meanwhile the Parliament should lose no time
in declaring itself in favor of religious co uaity
in Ireland He entertained hopes that the Mn
istry fully realized the gravity of the crisis. Ii
was vain 10 rely upon time a cure for the
evil. Seven hundred years had thus been
wasted. Speeches were made by mr.. Mcguire,
the member from Cork, in support of his reeo-
luton. and by Mr.. Disraeli. Prime Minister, in
opposition. On the conclusion Of these speeches
which were long and eloquent Mr.. Mcguire
withdrew his resolution.
