LONDON, July 3.-The debate on the
home rule Is concluded. Mr.. Disraell
was unable to agree that Ireland had
right to greater amount of self
government than Scotland or England.
He demonstrated the groundlessness
of the complaint that Irshmen were
not appointed TO the high offices of the
government, and denied that ::Ireland
was treated as conquered country.
He said that two separate parliaments
would constantly be in collision, and
that the minority in each parliament
would be always appealing to the i'm
perial parliament.
He opposed the motion because it
was injurious to both countries. AT the
great crisis of the world, which was
nearer than some supposed, he wished
the people to be united. To accept
this motion would produce disintegra-
ton in England, and might result in
the destruction of the empire.
Mccarthy, Mitchell, Nolan, O'Con-|
nor and others spoke in support of thd
motion.
At late hour the house divided, and
DIR. Butts resolution was rejected-yeas,
sixty-one; nays, four hundred and fifty
eight.
