AONDON2 NLhECu 4Es-1u the House OF
Commons tonight, MIR. Gregory in
quired what ground the Government
intended to take in regard to the use OF
mixed juries for the trial of foreigners
in English Courts. The Attorney Gem
eral replied that the Government did
not propose to interfere with the deci-
sion of the judges on that point. Lord
Stanley made an explanation as to the
present state of controversy with Spain
concerning the tornado case. He said
the last step taken by England was to
demand the release of Mac Earl Mayo,
Chief Secretary for Ireland. He said
he would soon submit to the cOnsidera-
tiOn of the House plan for the new
Irish university, the officers of which
were to be named or read by the Cath
Olfcs, but whose privileges were not to
be confined exclusively to Catholics.
The House then went into committee
and resumed the debate on the griev-
ances of Ireland.
Mr.. Herman, member from Straud,
said the ministers had promised re-
form In Ireland, but their reform only
proved to be a commissioner of inquiry
aud new university. More than this
was needed to concilate Ireland. He
He deprecated the condition of a new
cabinet of the character described by
the Chief Secretary of Ireland as likely
to ferment sectarian bitterness and
the present system of the national
schools. He declared that no ministe-
rial statement had ever caused him SO
much pain; great opportunity was
lost to cOnciliRte Ireland, which should
not longer be ruled by English laws,
customs and prejudice, but according
to the wishes of the Irish people.
Mr.. Robert Lowe thought there was
no good reason why the different reli-
giOus sects should not agree as we'll in
ireland as elsewhere. The existence
OF Fenianism was not in point as evil
dence of discomfort, for there was no
proof of that body of Irish people
sympathiZing with that rebellious
spirit, which was confined to the
American agitations the trouble was
deeper seated. 1t was untrue that Ire
land had been injured by English
legislation in general. Assertions
were made about land grievances but
no facts were presented and he was op-
posed to the system OF small tenures
urged by Mr.. Will and others, as not
the highest type of civilization, which
If adopted would be stereOtyed Gd in.
fnitMm. He deplOred the establish
ment of n Sectarian College. Neither
the clergy nor the laity wanted, aud
the proposition was simply a hitch of
fact was that One-tenth of all the prop
erty in Ireland was public, but. was
used for the benefit of only one out of
every twelve of the Inhabitants. This
was the great evil and it was a scandal
louS one.
Thomas Hughes made n speech and
urged "A general reform in Ireland.
Mr.. Vance, in the course of his re-
marks, argued that free trade had been
very injurious to Ireland.
John Bright torCibly denounced the
anomalies of the Irish Church estab-
lishment.
Mr.. Mill deplored the beggarly ac-
count OF the Irish policy of the ministry.
He approved of the manly speech of
Mr.. Lowe, on the Church question, and
concluded with AN argument showing
that such a College as was proposed was
impossible.
Mr.. Galhorne Haidly defended the
Government, giving long review of
the Irish policy. He said he believed
that some fears were expressed and
reasons given i'll 1913; yet the Wings
had held power since then without
taking any action in regard to the
grievances of Ireland.
AT II o'clock the debate still con-
tinued.
