Home Rufe.

LONDON, july 3.-The debate on the home
rule is ended. Disraeli was unable to agree
that Ireland had right to greater amount
of self government than Scotland or Eng
land. He demonstrated the groundlessness
of the complaint that Irishmen were not
appointed to high offices of the government,
and denied that Ireland was treated as q
conquered country.
He said two separate parlaments would
constantly be in collision. The minority
in each parliament would be always appeal
ing to the imperial parliament.
He opposed the motion because 1t was in
furious 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 be to
produce disintegration in England, and
might result in the destruction of the en-
pire.
MCCARTHY, Mitchell, Nolan, The O'Connor
Don, and others, spoke in support Of the
motion.
At late hour the House divided. and DR..
Butts resolution was rejected by vote Of

In the House of Lords, tonight, Earl of
Denbigh asked whether England was to be
represented in the Brussell's congress. He
said the papers relating thereto had an
underhand appearance. The programme
of the so-called Universal Society indicated
that it was primarily designed to promote
humanity, particularly in relation to the
treatment Of prisoners OF war.
1t now appeared that the Emperor of
Russia fathered the whole affair. The pro-
gramme contained articles dealing with
every contingency of war. Some of the
proposed rules might cripple naval action.
The Earl of Derby, Foreign Secretary, re-
piled that feeling of uneasiness was not at
all unnatural or unfOunded, and he was
glad of the opportunity to say something to
dispel it. The British government had de-
ferred its answer to the invitation to par
ticipate in the congress till the latest mo-
ment. 1t has given no particular en-
couragement to the project, but like all
great European powers had consented.

Chill, and special commission was named |
