Prince Louis Napoleon and other distin.
guished foreigners were in the galleries.
The scene was animated; the peers gal.
legrie, were full.
Aytoun gave notice thst he would
ask the Secretary OF State tor the war
debt tomorrow, and whether it Is
true that special roster has
been prepared for certain requirements
for foreign service including the brigade
OF guards.
Mr. Gladstone, IN reply to the question
by Mr. Trevilysn, said he accepted the
latter's amendment to the second reso-
luton. The amendment is as follows:
The House OF Commons is of the opinion
that the Porte by It's conduct towards Its
subjects and population, and its refusal
to give guarantees for their better gov
ernment has forfeited all claims TO the
moral and material support OF Great
Britain. Mr.. Gladstone gave notice of
lis intention to move the first
ard second, but not the
other resolution. The Marquis
OF Harrington thought these resolutions
might receive general support, and asked
| sir John Lsbbeck 10 withdraw his mo
lion Tor the previous question, who con-
sented. Thereupon there was most
tumultuous scene. Sir Stafford North
cott thought the House wss placed in 8
ridIulous position, but OF the two un-
pIosssntnesses he would choose the east,
and would consent to 20 on with the de-.
bate.
During preliminary discussion Is 10
whether the House should suspend ordl.
nary business 50 AS to permit Gladstone
to move resolutions, Mr. Gladstone ex.
piaiIed that he mad given notice OF his
resolutions in response TO repeated chal-
leages from the Ministers, and In order
that the opposition should declare its
views in the House. He had never pro.
pured the removal of the Ministry, but
mad asserted the necessity OF 4 modlfcs. Z.

advantage, but he wanted TO relieve his
country from the serious risk OF dishoHor

did not cndeavor tc avert It. After the
house had agreed to suspend ordinary
business, Mr.. Gladstone, III moving his
first resolution, said be did not intend to
move censure on the government, be-
cause ho did not see what pubic laterest
would be thereby promoted. he did not
refrain because ne believed hem uncen

lie repeated his former accusations
rs TO Sir Henry EllIott'S encouragement
OF the Turks during the Conference
The Conference became u farce from the
moment Turkey WAS informed that
England would not enforce any decision
that might be arrived st. There WAS =
power behind Lord Salisbury which de-
| tcrmned that he should not succeed, aud
when the Porte WAS informed ofthe tact
II drew from the Grand Vizier express
sions of gratitude to Lord Beaconsheid.
| Mr.. Layards mission was another mis-
take, because Lsysrd is n partisan of
Turkey. A declaration by the House
that Turkey mad loet sll claim td the
moral and material support OF England
was, IN his opinion, necessary,
| because under the name OF moral
support as much had be oil done and might
al some not distant day b" done
in the name OF the protection OF the
British interests. The squadron cent 10

been increased TO a feet TO overcome the

tigsted the atrocities. II is lncompatl-
blc with the honor o, England
to be- content with protests and Iemon-
stra,cs, after the atrocities mad been
