Irish ARairs-A Policy of Obstruction by the Home Rulers-The Government Confident of Its Ability to Suppress I'm surrectfon-BuckshotE for Insubort1inate e Subjects.
 LONDON, Aug. 23-The Home Rulers met to-day in caucus at the Westminster Hotel
 and debated the course to be pursued in ref
 erence to the vote on the Irish constabulary
 clause of the supply as it comes up in the
 House MT. Parnell, who presided, strongly
 urged solid opposition to the vote for the
 customary appropriation for the Irish con-
 stabulary and said the organization as now
 controlled would be as it had been perna-
 nent obstacle to the reforms the Home Rul-
 CTS desired to carry out, and the latter
 should stand firm for modification of the law. Much enthusiasm prevailed at the eau GUS, and there is no doubt as to the vigor
 with which Mr. Parnell's obstruction policy
 will be enforced.
 In the House of Commons to-day Mir. Forster, Home Secretary for Ireland, said it was not the intention of the Government prior to the propagation of Parliament to ask Parliament for exceptional powers to preserve the peace in Ireland, but if neces- sary the Government would not hesitate to summon Parliament in the autumn to ask the requisite force for putting down any insurrection or for preserving the peace in Ireland, should the ordinary means at the service of the Government be insufficient for these purposes. MT. Foster added that he did not anticipate that such a necessity would arise and he had no fear of general or even partial rising in Ireland. The Government were confident of their ability with the means now at their disposal to maintain the peace.
 In the House of Commons this evening Hon. W. B. Forster replying to 8 question put by MT. Finnegan, said he was aware that buckshot had been supplied to the Irish con stabulary, but he thought that buckshot was more humane than bullets, which had been used by the Irish people in their attacks upon the police. Mitchell Henry said the action of the constabulary in firing upon the people deserved the severest condemnation. He moved an adjournment of the House. Sev- eral of the Irish members, including MT. O'Donnell, condemned the using of the police as soldiers. MT. Forster pointed out the fact that in every case the police were stoned before firing upon She crowd. He as- sured the House that the change of shot instead of bullets was dic- tated by feelings of humanity and desire on the part of the Government not to sacri- fee life. He condemned party processions as disgraceful. Next year he would stop their taking place. MT. Parnen condemned the use of buckshot, and said the cause of all the constabulary proceedings in Ireland was the long reign of misgovernment by the Eng fish in the island. After a speech by MT. O'Shaughnessey, Mitchell Henry desired to withdraw his motion for an adjournment, but MT. Biggar opposed it. He spoke in defense of party processions and condemned the in- terference of the police and the partial man. ner in which justice was administered in Ire land. It was this maladministration of jus tice that caused all the ill feeling The mo- ton to adjourn was then withdrawn.
