LONDON, Feb. lat II this morning the
house Of commons is still in session. Ate:45
motion for adjournment was rejected. 121 to
| az. The most notable feature in the early
part of the debate was the declarations by the
pronounced radicals, Charles Il. Hope wood
and Il. Broadhurst, that, though reluctant to
curtail constitutional liberties thsy were con.
vincsd of the necessity of supporting the bill.
During the night Parnell, in supporting the
motion for adjournment, was several times
called to order for irrelevancy.
ONE O'CLOCK.
LONDON, Feb. lat o'clock the house Of
commons is still in session. The home rulers
are so well prepared with relays that they may
be able to prolong the sitting at least until
THURSDAY. During the morning O,shaugh.
messy, Sullivan and Finnigan have spoken. Big
gar moved an adjournment, and was twice
called to order by the deputy speaker, and once
by Ashelton Cross, a conservative. he then
sat down, and the debate was continued BY

Grafton. Gladstone returned to the house at
noon. r-fit
FOUR O'CLOCK.
LONDON, Feb. 1.-The sitting continues.
Motion to adjourn was negatived at3 o'clock
by 225 to 2s. The speeches, with the excep-
tion of one from Thompson (liberal member
for Durham city, in opposition to the bill.
were entirely confined to Irish members.
There have been frequent wrangles and calls to
order, both for wandering from the subject of
debate and for unusual language, Finnegan
and Healey being the greatest offenders. All
the Irish members, however, are careful not
to carry the breeches of order to a length
which would incur suspension.
Various Irish members have raised dilatory
points of order, tho most notable being that
of Parnell, who fruitlessly disputed the speak
er's right to resume the chair, from which he
had been relieved during the night.
sI1.THIRTY.
The debate goes on. Parnell denied the ur-
sncy of Forster's measures and said he would
stake his head there would be no increase of
crime in Ireland should they fail.
STILL HOLDING OUT.
LONDON, Feb. 2-1:30A. M.-Ths house is
still in session. John Bright has just declared
that the government will accept the response
bility of the position, and he believes Glad
stone is prepared to submit resolutions to the
house for dealing with obstruction. Bright
said he considered the present obstruction un-

After dilatory debate, sustained princi-
pally by home rulers, Richard A. Cross rose
to point of order. He wanted tost1now what
was persistent, wilful obstruction. He asked
the speaker whether the fact that several mem
bers had made the same speeches several times
on different motions for adjournment was
mot mot eVasaeS Msatsr of ,e Tu ey Saa
not the power to stop such
proceedings. The speaker replied that if he
found that there was distinct combination
to wilfully obstruct the business of the house,
he should consider that the order would ap-
ply, and he was bound to say the course Of the
debate gave evidence of a combination that
went far to bring members within operation
of the order. Sullivan, home ruler, continued
the debate. DIR. Playfair took the place Of
the speaker. Dillon, home ruler,
made speech. Sir Stafford North.
cote .hoped the government would
second the effort of Sir Richard to stop OBJ
| struction. Childers, secretary of war, said if
DR.. Playfair thought fit to stop obstruction
the government would support him.. Nc
Carthy and O'Donnell carried on the discus
sion. Gorst, Conservative, appealed to DR..
Playfair to name any member who should
move an adjournment again. DR.. Playfair said
| he was prepared to concur in the ruling of the
speaker, who, when he left the chair, didn't
think the time had come when he should give
application to the standing order. Parnell
then spoke in support of the motion for ad-
journment.
VIM. Henry Smith, conservative and former.
ly first lord of admiralty, rose to question of
order, and said Parnell was one OF eleven men,
bers who had spoken thirty-three times on
motions for adjournment. Smith summoned
| DR.. Playfair to name Parnell as guilty of will
| full obstruction. DR.. Playfair ruled
that sufficient cause was not made
out for such proceedings: Milbork, conserva-
| tive member for Yorkshire, rose to point of
order: He said Biggar had just applied to
him the epithet of "fool" with foul prefix.
DR.. Playfair ruled that the expression was dis
orderly. It was at this point in proceedings
that Bright rose and made the declaration be,
| fore reported.
Another motion for adjournment having been
negatived, Bggar rose on matter of privi-
lege. He said Milbork had crossed the floor
of the house and called him an
impudent scoundref Biggar denied that he
distinctly heard Biggar use the expression.
| DR.. Playfair said it was the duty of Milbank
to apologize to the house for calling Biggar a
scoundrel, but not to Biggar. Milbank then
| made an apology in accordance with the de-
| cision of the deputy speaker The incident
| terminated, the house resumed the debate
| The Standard says the cabinet met inform
ally yesleTQuS W COuSlutl lue huUJeCt Vi OU-
| struction. The authorities of the house have
also been consulted. We believe Lord Hart
| ington has had brief interview with Lord
Beaconsfeld on the subject and that the gov
ernmeDt intend 10 adopt the principle of the
| cloturc.
LONDON, Feb. 1.-The Ne1vs says: 1t has
been decided that mo steps with regard to OBJ
struction shall be taken pending the debate on
the first reading of the protection bill, but as
soon as division is had notice will be given
of resolution amending the standing orders
on the principle of the cloture,
but carefully guarding the rights
of minorities. The opposition are
generally in favor of the adoption of scheme
by which individual or small combinations of
members may be silenced. No formal COM
munications have taken place between the
government and opposition on the subject, but
the government has decided to act on their re-
sponsibilty, leaving the opposition to take the
responsibility of thwarting their endeavors to
| stop obstruction.
| At meeting of Parnellites last night it was
determined to continue the debate on the mo-
ton for the introduction of Forster's bill
until the forms of the house are exhausted.
It is estimated few days will elapse before
the bill is read the first time.
