LONDON, July 1.-THE Pal Nall Gd:etie
says the line Of policy announced by Par
nell and his seventeen supporters to move
to report progress when compensation for
the disturbances in Ireland is again dis.
cussed, evidently leads to indefinite OBJ.
struction. 1t is easy to declare 1t to be in
tolerable that a minority OF the home
rulers, who are themselves very small
minority OF the House, are not only to i'm.
pose their policy In Irish legislation, but
are TO be at liberty II they are resisted to
stop English legislation, but the remedy is
not easy.
The forms OF the House may be and
ought to be amended, but even II the dis
turbance bill is thrown out tomorrow and
Parnell suspended for the rest ot the ses.
sion, the only result would be- TO make
agitation more certain and dangerous
when the session is over. This is fea-
ture In the situation TO which serious
men on both sides should address their
minds. Irish constituents must be taken
into account as well as Irish members.
II the session ends without something be-
ing done to disarin the hostility OF this
awkward group, the Parliamentary dis
comfort OF the summer will turn into
something far more practical and more
dangerous during the coming autumn and
winter.
The House OF Commons met at noon
and went into a committee OF the Whole
on the compensation bill. Two hours were
consumed in dispute over the ruling OF
the Chairman OF the committee which, on
appeal to the Speaker, was decided
against the Chairman. The Irish mem.
bers denounced the governments coarse
regarding the bill as weak and iTresolute.
Parnell said the bill as amended last night
ought TO be rejected: Lord Edward Cav.
endish Liberal. brother ofLord Hart ngton,
thought as matters stood, the passage OF the
bill was hopeless, and after the attitude
assumed by Parnell, the government would
be justified In abandoning the measure.
Gladstone said II the rejection Of the bill
was desired, q proper motion 70 that end
ought TO be made. He urged the house to
90 forward with the details Of the bill and
not to tolerate the continued violation Of
the rules OF procedure, as the character
OF the house was concerned in uph0lding
the established methods OF transacting
business. The Irish members talked out
the session Of the committee, preventing
action on the governments amend.
ments. Gladstone said the government
was determined 70 peseyere with 1t, and
was not to he thwarted by this sort Of op.
position. He oppointed tomorrow for the
continuation OF the debate.
