English Parliament.
LONDON, January 3l.-The House oi
Commons was very much crowded in all
parts this morning by persons anxious to
listen 10 the debate on the governments
motion for supplementary vote. Many
peers and foreign representatives were
present. Sir Stafford Northcote, Chan
cellor EIchequer, in replying to a ques-
ton, said: The government will
not object to furnish the House
the correspondence respecting the
Gladstone Negropontis incident. Un-
der Foreign Secretary Bourke
in reply to question, said he had heard
to-day that the telegraph line between
Consisntinople and Gsllipolis was cut.
Sir Stafford Northcote, in response to
the inquiry OF Mr.. Chaplin, said that at
latest sdvices no armistice had been
signed. The Russians are still advancing
southwark, but he was ignorant as
to what point they had reached,
and as to whether in view Of the contin-
ued Russian advance England still sd-
heres 10 the conditions of Lord Derby's
May dispatch. He said: can only say
that the Government does entirely ad-
here to these conditions.
Mr.. Foster is now at FIVE o'clock, P. N.
amid cheers of the opposition, moving his
amendment to the vote OF credit,
declaring that the House sees no reason
for adding to the peoples burdens, by
voting for additional supplies.
The Party OF Action In the Ascen.
dant.
LONDON, January Sit is reported
that the Cabinet council yesterday, the
party OF action gained the ascendant, and
an important ministerial statement will
be made at an early stage Of the pending
debate, which will altar the aspect of the
situation if no news or unsatisfactory
news touching the srmistice be received
before the division. The governments
majority will probably largely exceed
one hundred. The signing Of the srmis-
tice would reduce the majority and in
crease the vigor and bitterness of the
opposition attacks. There is some talk
among the Radicals of opposing the
money vote by obstructive tactics in the
event of the srmistice being concluded.
The Home Rulers hold another con-
ference to-day to determine what course
they will pursue. 1t is believed that
they will most likely decide to leave the
members TO their individual response
biity.
