HOUSE OF COMMONS.
! LONDON, May 20Sh.-In the House of Com
mons to-day Collins CONSERVATIVE took the
| Parliamentary oath and occupied the seat for
Knares borough, to which he was recently
elected, vice Sir Henry NJ. Thompson, I'M
seated.
An attempt by Sir Wilfred Lawson (Radi-
cal) to question him concerning his religious
opinions was prevented by the uproar of the
| Conservatives.
Sir WiIfred Lawson said the precedent rel
alive to Bradlaush had instituted Parlia-
mentary inquisition, and all should be treated
alike.
The Speaker pointed out that the Collins
case differed entirely from that Of Brad
laughs.
Gladstone Endorsed the Speakers ruling.
| Lawson ultimately withdrew the motion
| for adjournment, with which he had con-
| cluded his remarks.
Mr.. Forster Chief Secretary for ireland,
having, in reply to question by OSullivan,
confirmed the report of the arrest of the
parish priest, Father Sheehv, at Kilmarnock,
and having expressed regret that it should
have been necessary to imprison Catholic
clergyman, OSullivan moved an adjourn
ment for the purpose of calling attention to
the circumstance.
Forster said the arrest was not made with
out sanction. He declined to enter into
discussion of the cause for the arrest upon
motion for adjournment, but was ready to
meet any motion impugning his conduct in
the administration of the Coercion Act.
Lord Spencer Churchill said the Govern
ment had by their apathy encouraged the
disturbances in Ireland.
Gladstone declared that the Government
had not arrested any one, priest or layman,
for being a member of the Land League.
They had only arrested perpetrators or
abettors of outrage. If any member, he
said, proposed that discussion of the arrests
in ireland be taken up at the morning sitting
on Tuesday next, the Government would not
object.
Sir Stafford Northcote said he thought the
House generally might support the proposal
Several Home Rule members, including
| Parnell, then denounced the arrest Of priest
Sheehy.
O'S1llivan's motion for adjournment waa
negatiyed-l30 TO 80.
REMEDIES FOR SOCIALISM.
LONDON, May 20th.-In the House of
Lords, last evening, Granville said that Rus
STA, with the support of Germany, recently
proposed conference of the Powers, with
the view to joint action against assassination.
From no sympathy with Nihilism he said
her Majesty's Government declined to par
ticipate in the conference, believing that it
would have no practical result, and that for
| the Government to join it would not be
agreeable to either Parliament or the coun-
try that refusal, however, being made, it is
more incumbent upon US to use all means
which our laws put at our disposal for the
punishment of persons guilty OF melting to
murder, and he believed these means would be
found adequate for that purpose.
