GLADSTONE IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
LONDON, July 30.-In a debate in the
house of commons Gladstone began by read
ing letter which he had addressed to Lord
Beaconsheld, asking him to cite instances IN
support of the accusation of unj usti6abe and
reckless attacks. He declared he never at
tackled the government without deep sense
OF the responsibility. He had never assigned
any dlshonorabe motives to the premier; his
attacks upon his whole poncy were based
upon lrreconcilable and fundamental differ
ences of opInicn. He made long review of
the results of the congress, and regretted the
selfish Jealousy of some of the powers in re-
gard to Greece. With Seryla and Montene
gro independent, Bulgaria practically so, and
Bosnia and Herzegovina lrrevocabIy annexed
20 Austria, 1t was impossible to deny that the
partition of Turkey, If not as complete, was
as great as that of Poland. He desired the
elevation of the native races instead of the
super of Turkey by another power,
and complained OF the governments policy
from first to last. He said they must feel
some shame when they looked upon the
results obtained and what might have
been obtained without so much bloodshed
It they had not jealousy severed themselves
from Russia two years ago. They had left
RUSSIA the finest possible field for working
against the preseat arrangement. The Brit
lsh plenipotenriaries had, throughout the
congress, done their utmost to prop up FUR
key and keep down the subject races. For
the first time In history their attitude was
not IN accordance with free Institutions The
assertions OF Lord Beacons6eld relative to
British efforts in favor of Greece were not
supported by anything in the protocols. The
conclusion of the Anglo Russian agreement
was a practical contradiction of the high
sounding pretensions of Lord Salisbury's
note. The government thereby surrendered
their power of action in the cause of freedom.
He urged objections similar to those made by
Lord Harrington to the military situation Gre
ated by the Anglo Turkish convention. He
had been associated with all the greatest
statesmen of England for half a century, and
he did not hesitate to say that not one of
them would have imposed such RESPONSE
bihty on the country. He could not regard
such policy as within the limits of reasona-
| lie craftsmanship. He asked what
the government would have done if a
| foreign power had concluded such a
| convention. The government had, in
rahfyiDg the convention before parliament
was made acquainted with it, pushed the
power of the crown to an extreme which had
been avoided by the greatest statesmen. A
new phase of the eastern question was opened
by this startling novelty, which set the law of
Europe at naught, was unjust to the other
powers, overrode the rights of parliament,
and laid new burdens on the people.
Gladstone spoke two hours and half, and
was greeted by loud cheers as he took his
| seat
| / ord Beacons6eld, in replying to the letter
read by Mr.. Gladstone in the house of COM
mons to day, said that compilation of the
| list of offensive epithets used by that gentle
| man would entail search over a period oil
over two years and half. Lord Beaconsfield
| cites the expressions of Mr.. Gladstone that be
/ lord Beacons6eld) had degraded and
! debased the great name of England, that he
! had sold the Greeks, and that he had beer
| guilty Of an unsurpassed act of duplicity.
| After a long debate between minor mem
| bers, Asheton Cross, home secretary, replied
! to Gladstone's speech. He declared that he
! did not know whether to consider Gladstone
| an humble follower or a rival of Lord Hart
ington. Cross entered into detailed refu
| tation of Gladstone's charges, but his argu
| ments were mainly such as have been useC
before. He maintained that the congress
| would have been impossible without the
Anglo Russian agreement. He said tn,
| Turkish convention had not increased Eng
lands responsibilities. He only hoped thu
opposition would assert, at the next genera
election, that England had no interests il
| Asia. The debate adjourned until Thursday
