''Dur ing the evening the scene in the lob,
bies was more exciting than on the occasion
OF any great debate since that which ended in
the defeat Of Mr.. Disraeli's Ministry in 1868.
Sixty-six men took their places in the stran-
gers gallery At $50 O'Clock, and not one Of
them moved until the cad of the Consersa-
tive leaders speech. The crowd waiting in
octagon, and gradually Offering in IN ont Of
the inner lobby - the Gordon Of police could
be eluded, vas sufficient 70 Gil the Speakers
gallery, and The dosen seats under the gale

course, very busy, and notably on the Liber-
al side. Books were conned very closely,
and there vas some anxiety shown q 10
whether Mr.. Butt and some other Irish men,
bers polled to vote against the second read
ing had arrived in town - was exp cted.
Several Liberal peen dropped into the lobby
to coneult Mr.. 0lyn, Lord Granville coming
for that purpose about IL O'Clock,
half an hour after Mr.. Disraeli had
risen. The ladies' galleries we're 50 much
crowded all the evening that the wives even

the end of the crisis, bad the utmost diff

three minutes to IL the Prince of Wales and
Duke Of Edinburg, for whom places had
been reserved all the evening in the peers
gallery, arrived and slipped into the house
almost unnoticed By the throng in the lobby.
Notwithstanding the promises Of Mr.. But,
and Others in Ireland TO vote against the bill
Mr.. Csllan vas the only Irish member who
turned up before midnight in addition to
those who had besn in town tor some days.

were over ninety member lounsing about

still louder roar Of "noes," proclaimed that
