on the Other side.
London, 2.-It is stated that Parnell's
action, last night, was due to strong ex-
pressioDs of dissatisfaction from John
Dillon and others, who consider that eff
forts should have been made to secure
thei' release.
When the land bill lett the House of
| Commons, home rulers on meeting, de-
cided to Ssk government for the right to
debate the subject of Irish arrests, and
in the event Of refusal to bring it for
ward in going into committee of supply,
or on the appropriation bill.
New York, 2, - HeTdLd'S London:
Deep interest IVES manifested last hight
in the second reading of the lsnd bill in
the House of Lords. At an early hour
the usually deserted benches were filed
with peers. while the peers gallery was
thronged with the wives and daughters of
hereditary legislators. Since the disturb
ance bill was thrown out there has been
no such muster of lords; indeed, the
numerous attendance suggested the be-
lief that the aristocratic party had screwed
up courage to defy Gladstone and the
Commons. The galleries reserved for
members of Parliament were crowded
with commoners, anxious to hear
Salisbury's declaration of war or
peace. Cariingford opened for the
government Ia 8 measured argu-
mentative speech, which put the
government case with admirable clear
ness and precision. His statement Was
deceived by the liberal peers with few
languid murmurs of appreciation. which
in their serene chamber were current for
cheers, and by the conservatives with
equally ghsstly murmurs of dissent:
Salisbury replied with more vigor, but
with less keenness knd precision of
thought. He denounced the bill in strong
terms, declaring that it had been won not
from the sense of justice Of the govern
ment, but from their fears. The speech
eliminated in the somewhat lame and
impatient conclusion that he would sd-
wise the Lords not 10 reject the measure,
but to amend it in committee. This is
regarded as complete throwing up of
the sponge On the part of the lords.
They will probably insert amendments
in the spirit of the propositions Of Mr..
Heneage and Lord Edmund Fitzmaurice
and 10 the exclusion of lease-hoIders
from the advantages Of the bill. The
Commons will refuse to concur in the
exclusion of lease holders, but will prob.
ably accept Heneage's amendment TAX
ing estates managed on the English sys-
tenn from under the operations Of the
bill. This will be accepted as nominal
compromise and the bill will become law
substantially as it left tine Commons.
This view Of the situation was generally
entertained among memb OF the lower
house last night.
The HeTGLd's London has the follow
ing account OF the suspension of Parnell
in the Commons: Mr.. Justin Mccarthy
called attention to the imprisoned land
leaguers, asking for an opportunity to
present their case In Parliament. Mr..
Gladstone replied, after some delay, that
the Irish members would have ample
opportunity to discuss the arrests on the
estimates. This reply annoyed Mr.. Par-
nell, who rose aud denounced the con-
duct Of the ministry in continuing to hold
in prison men who were the true authors
of the land bill, while at the same time
they admitted the justice of the claims
put forth on behalf Of the tenant farmers,
and the absolute necessity for reform.
Mr.. Parnell declared the ministry and
the Parliament to be tyrants and OPP
pressors. Mr.. Gladstone and Sir Stafford
Northcote rose simultaneously to
call the Speakers attention to
this language, but Mr.. Parnell went on
vehemently without paying attention to
the Speaker. He declsred he cared
nothing for the House Of Commons. Mr..
Gladstone moved his suspension, but be-
fore the question could be put Mr.. Par
nell said that he would not wait to see
the farce played out, and then withdrew |
before his formal suspension, which was |
carried Immediately afterward by an |
overwhelming majority.
Gladstone, last night said he did net |
know the convention with the Beers had |
been signed, but expected it would be
to-day.
It is stated that Bradlaugh will go to
the House Of Commons on Wednesday |
before the Speaker arrives. Tonight, |
meeting in trafalgar will be
short. Brsdlaugh's address will be
ready. Many delegates will be present
at the meeting.
There were 100 conservative peers at
Lord Salisbury's resi- ienee, yesterday, to
consider amendments to the land bill.
The amendments suggested by Lord
were unanimously agreed to, |
in addition to those already stated. They |
include one providing for examination
and revision, after six years, OF the duties
and constitution of the land court.
