 Extra ordinary Scene i'm Commons-A Vio- lent Speech By MT. DilIon-Throwfng
 Defiance at Secretary Forster.
 LONDON, Aug. 23.-In the House of Com mons tonight Mir. Dillon drew the attention of the House to MT. Forster's comments upon his (Dillon's) recent speech at 8 land meeting in Kildare Mir. Forster having stig- matized the speech as wicked and coward1y and abusive of the liberty of speech. MT. Dillon said the reports of his speech as pub- hshed in the newspapers were substantially correct and he would repeat the sentiments at which he might speak during the coming autumn. He expressed in contemptuous terms his indifference for MT. Forster's abuse and taunted MT. Forster with remaining in the Cabinet after the rejection by the House of Lords of 8 measure which Fors- ter had asserted was absolutely necessary for the peace of Ireland. MT. Forster had pro- claimed his readiness to assist the rich in robbing the poor. MT. Forster's recent ap- peals to the forbearance of the rack rulers was he declared, extremely ludicrous. If there was bloodshed in Ireland Mr. Forster was solely responsible. The Home Rulers vehemently cheered MT. Dillon, whose speech throughout was extraordinarily violent. The lam s history of the House.
 Mir. Forster replied to Mir. Dillon with much warmth and justified the remarks made by him in regard to Dillon's speech. He re- iterated his statement that the speech made by Dillon at Kildare was cowardly and wick ed. He quoted from newspaper reports of number of cruel outrages which had been committed since the Kildare meeting as evil dence to show that Dillon's advice was being followed. The Government, he said, would suppress seditious meetings whenever con- sidered necessary for the safety of the coun- try. MT. Dillon well knew his parliamentary privileges protected him from the conse- quences of his seditious utterances on that night. MT. Forster's manner during the de- livery of his speech was stern and emphatic. The Irish members frequently interrupted him. and their cheers and other expressions, whether of approval or otherwise, were anus ingly persistent. Messrs. Parnell, Sullivan, O'DonneIl Mitchell Henry and others con tinued the debate at some length. The Mar quis of Harrington vainly urged the house to proceed to business, and ultimately an ad- iournment was carried without touching up on the Irish constabulary estimates.
