\ cable dispatch to the Associated Press,
dated London, March 10, contains the fol-
lowing interesting account of debate
wlch took place in the British House OF
Commons that night, when the resolution
of Sir Charles Dixie, inquiring into the ex-

the Introduction Of the motion Of which he
had already given notice.
Niscount Bury rose to question the priv
lcgc. As members Of Parliament had taker
an oath of allegiance to Queen Victoria
and her successors, and as the member from
Chelsea had ayowel openly that he was a
Republican, he wanted to know If, with
proper respect for the honor Of the
Commons, the member could be allowed to

Here Lord Bury was interrupted by
cheers ana shouts, and there was much con-
fusion on all sides.
The Speaker, as soon as the House was
brought to order, said he saw nothing in

allowing She member from Chelsea to pro-

Sir Charles having succeeded in reading
his motion to the end, though frequently
interrupted, proceeded to support it in "a

offered Was unprecedented. 1t was time,
