LONDON, August l.
One of the most extraordinary sit
tings of the House OF Commons is now
in proceeding. The House assembled
at 4 O'Clock and before q o'clock had
gone into convention on the South
African Confederation bill, to which
there has been at its very stage long
and persistent obstruction by Parnell,
Biggar and O'Donnell, occasionally as
sisted by one or two other members.
The struggle lasted throughout the
whole night and led to numerous
scenes and incidents. The Govern
inert determined not to permit the
Obstructionisis to defeat the measure
and have the support of the
Liberals. The sitting is prolonged

at 8 O'Clock last night to return at
midnight. Fresh relays came at 4
o'clock and at 7 O'Clock, etc., and the
officials and police were relieved at in
tervals during the night. About noon
the Obstructionists discontinued active
opposition, and at 2:20 o'clock the bill
was completed IN Committee amid
thunders of cheers, several times re
peated. The scene was animated and
sometimes stormy. Within recent

had TO sit through vacation. Upon
this, John O'Conner Power, the Liber-
al member for Mayo county, who had
been made aware of the Governments
tactics, charged the Government with
having organized a conspiracy to crush
the Irish members. Immediately the
House was in a tumult. The Chair
man demanded the withdrawal of the
word conspiracy" Power tried to
explain, but cries of withdraw ("
drowned his voice. He finally with
drew the ex pre- ssion. O'Donnell, re-
Gently elected for Dungarven, having
tried to justify the conduct OF the OBJ
structionists, Gray, member for Tiper-
airy, and one of the Obstructi0nists,
said the responsibility for the demon
alization of the House rested on Sir
! Stafford Northcote, Chancellor OF the
Exchequer that strong measures
should have been taken at The first.

for Kings county, intimated that Gray
was q hnmbug and a damned fool,
which expression he withdrew as be-
ing supplementary. Parnell and

Just before noon, Sir Stafford North
cote made q final appeal to the minori
ty to yield. and hoped hat in the
absence OF the honorable gentle
men, who he expected to arrive
shortly, that the committee would
persevere with the bill. O'Donnel
affected tn regard this as q threat OF co.

circumstances he would retire from

question of physical endurance he and
his friends were prepared To go on.
