LONDON, June 14.-In the house of COM
mons this evening, in accordance with 10
tice given, O'Donnell, home rule member
fer Dungarvan, asked Sir Charles Dixie, un-
der foreign secretary, question relative to
the antecedents of Challomel Lacour, re-
Gently appointed French ambassador to Lon
don, and whether his nomination as ambas-
sador to Germany has not been Withdrawn IN
Difference to the wish of the German govern
ment The question caused lively scene.
Premier Gladstone moved that ODonnell
should not be heard. Parnell and A. III. Sui
livan, home rulers, protested against
the attempt to silence member.
Sir. Charles Dixie denied the allegations
contained in O'Donnell's question. O'Don-
neil was not satisfied with the answer and
moved an adjournment of the house, and on
the pretext of speaking on that motion per-
sisted amid uproar. The speaker said his
conduct was grave abuse. Crowan, liberal
member for Edinburgh, condemned the at
tempt to propagate libel in the guise of a
question. The question put by O'Donnell
accused Challomel Lacour of participation in
massacre and robbery in a convent.
Seven P. M-The scene in the house is
waxing warmer. Sir Stafford Northcote,
conservative, opposed Gladstone's motion as
irregular. The speaker admitted that SIM
liar motion had not been made for two hun
dred years.
Sir VIM. Harcourt said O'Donnell had re-
ceived influential support from Sir Stafford
Northcote in his opposition to Gladstone's
motion. Capt. Price, conservative for Dew
onport, moved that Sir VIM. Harcourt be
not heard. Loud cheers from the opposi-
ton. The speaker ruled Sir VIM. Harcourt
was in possession of the floor. Cheers.
Sir William then pointed out that O'Don
nell's attacks on Challomet Lacour ought
not to receive the countenance of any part
of the house. Hon. r. L. Forester
said O'Donnells speech was con-
trary to the decencv of society.
O'Donnell summoned Forester to withdraw
his words. The speaker ruled the remark
unparliamentary and Forester withdrew it.
Lord Hartingwood justified Gladstone's
motion. Jno. Manners urged the house not
to reviyea precendent 200 years old. Par
nell moved for an adjournment of the de-
bate. After animated discussion Parnelps
motion was rejeDted by vote
of 249 to 135. Captain
Nolan moved for adjournment of the house.
Gladstone persisted in his motion. Forester
appealed to O'Donnell to let the matter drop,
but O'DonnelI refused. Capt. Nolan's mo-
ton was then rejected by vote of 324 to
So. Lord E!cho then moved for adjourn
ment of debate. After further discussion
and the rejection of Lord Elcho's motion,
Gladstone, on the understanding that O'Don-
nell meant only to give notice of question,
said he was willing to withdraw his motion.
O'Donnell then stated the terms on which he
proposed to ask his questions on Thursday,
after which the house adjourned.
TIE MARK LANE REPORTS.
LONDON, June 14.-M0rE Lane says
both wheat and barley, especially the lat
ter, have improved greatly during the past
fortnight. Warmer weather, howeyer,is still
wanted. Deliveries of English wheat at
the principal towns continue about half
those of corresponding time last year.
Offerings at Mark Lane are also quite i'm
portant and. trade quiet. Holders, how
ever, despite the improvement In the, ap-
pearance of the bome crop. have not pressed
sales. MilIers have taken what few lots
were suitable for grinding at former pricas,
but thero was no inquiry for inferior
samples.
Imports of foreign into London have been
moderate. This circumstance combined
with the continental demand, which has now
extended to grain in London warehouses,
neutralized the tendency usual at this period
of the year to discount the effects of the
weather. Prices consequently are well
sustained, though the demand is not very
active. Red American was somewhat dear
in consequence of its comparative scarcity
in London. Millers are only buying from
hand to mouth, and spectators are holding
entirely aloof, as they consider present prices
mainly sustained blythe wheatring in America.
Nearly all the wheat received at London late
ly has gone direct to consumers. Granary
stocks have become unusually light. Maize
is inanimate. There was a good demand for
oats, though recent heavy arrivals have
caused decline of Cd on the week. Ar
rivals of wheat at ports of Campden are
large and consisted almost exclusively of
white descriptions. There was good
demand early in. the week both
for United Kingdom and Continental at
fully previous prices, but during the last day
or two the demand was considerably checked
by brilliant weather and lower prices from
America. White sorts declineda shilling per
quarter, while red sorts, in consequence of
their scarcity, only slightly favored buyers.
The coast Is still bare of maize. Wheat for
shipment is freely offered at declining
prices, red winter closing at Is Sd and spring
from Sd to Cd lower on the week. There
was some little business in red winters at ABS
bid for July and August shipment. There
has been good demand for maize. which,
after some fluctuations, closes at from Cd to
Sd lower. Sales of English wheat last week
2S, ,458 quarters at AS lid. against 44,546
quarters at Ais I'D for the same time last
year. The imports into the United King
dom for the week ending June 5, were
965, ,246 cwt. wheat and 1872, 724 cwt. flour.
