OBsTRUCTIoNIsTs.


3 LONDON, Jan. 12.-In the house of COM
mons to-day the chief secretary of Ireland
asked members whose bills are in the or
der of the day not to insist on their rights
as the government desired to proceed
with the debate on the address in re-
ply to the queens speech. The Irish
members began obstructive objections
and the wrangle lasted some hours. VI
timately the motion that the debate on
the address be resumed was car
ried. Just before division was taken,
which closed the obstructive debate, Par
nell said his party had made their protest
against the action of the government.
He said his conduct in.the house had al
ways been fair ahd above board, but he
would not pledge himself as to the con-
duct of himself and friends when the
bills for the coercion of the Irish people
are introduced.
On completion of the debate on the ad-
dress, Shaw Lefevre, secretary to the
admiralty, said he believed the mere pas
sing of the coercion bill would probably
be sufficient to terminate the state of ter
ror in Ireland, and the government
wouldn't be obliged to enforce it's excep-
tional powers. The present state Of Ire
land, he said, was largely due to the con-
servative neglect of Irish questions, and
he trusted parliament would now be pre-
pared to deal in generous spirit, SO as to
secure permanent settlement, and that
the question would be dealt with in ac-
cordance with Irish rather than English
ideas. Debate adjourned until to.mor-
row.
PEASANT PROPRIETARY.
LONDON, Jan. ia deputation of the
members of parliament waited on Gladstone
to-day on the Irish question and presented a
memorial recommending as essential, in order
to secure unity and enthusiasm among the
liberals in parliament, and contentment in Ire
land, that the land bill shall include compre.
hensive scheme of peasant proprie-
tary Also recommending consideration of
the subject of reclamation of waste lands The
deputation discussed the subject in O CONVEX
sational manner for fully two hours. Glad
stone said he was glad to have the opportu-
nity of hearing their views and hoped heI would
not introduce any bill which would be ineffec-
tual.
Gladstone, in reply to the delegation of mem
bers of the house, declared that to give spe-
cifc form to existing evils was the first step
in dealing with the land question. Remedial
measures must come after. 1t was explained
that tn fifty-sfx E liberals n' shared p"'fSl their
views and many English and Scotch members
expressed sympathy Herewith. The members
of the deputation dwelt upon the necessity for
the adoption of their programme. They said
if such measure was passed tenants gener-
ally would be satisfied and the agitation would
subside. They insisted that general feeling
of insecurity prevailed among tenants under
the existing state of things, and that the great
majority of landlords would accept their pro-
gramme. Gladstone replied that the great OBJ
ject of the government was to promote the
welfare of the tenants, without inficting in
justice on any other section of the public.
The Standard this evening says, eve under
stand that the deputation deemed the result of
their interview as satisfactory"
