THE ARMS BILL.
IT PASSES ITS FIRST READING-THE
PROTECTION BILL.

LONDON, March LIN the House Of
Commons this evening, Sir William
Harcourt, Home Secretary, replying to
a question, said he had received threat
ening telegram signed "John Devoy,"
but lie did not intend to make repre-.
sentations in regard TO the circumstance
to the American Government; such
representation, he said, might give rise
to an international controversy, Devoy,
from British convict, having become
an American citizen. As long as he and
his confederates, the leaders of the Land
League, are content to remain beyond
tie sea aud on the other side oil the At
lantic, we will not interfere with them,
but if they come over here, we might
have to pay them some attention. The
Home Secretary's remarks were wholly
OF a jocular character.
Urgency was voted for the Arms bill
by 395 to 81. No Conservatives voted
in the minority.
Sir VIM. V. Harcourt, Home Secre-
| tary, introduced the Arms bill. It pro-
hibits the possession or carrying OF arms
except by-license; permits the search Of
houses from sunrise to sunset, aad en-
powers the authorities to prohibit and
to regulate the importation and sale Of
arms, dynamite and nitro glycerine.
The maximum penalty on summary
conviction is three months imprison-
ment without hard labor. The bill is
to remain in force five years.
The bill passed its first reading by
1888 to 20.
In the House o. Lords to.night Earl
Spencer, Lord President of the Council,
moving the second reading of the Pro.
lection bill, pointed out that outrages,
though greatly diminished in number,
were still committed in ireland, and he
cited some Re cent cases. He said these
outrages could be only the results of In
falnma ory speeches., but the necessity for
the bl II arose less from the perpetration
of outrages than from the difficulty In
tracing the offenders.
Lord Beaconstield relu otantly support
ed the bill, because he thought it abso-
lutely necessary. The agitation In Ire
land was fostered by an organic ed conspir.
acy of foreigners. 1t was absolutely
necessary that the Government should
possess the power to defend the Queen
from foreign conspirators, who were
passing to and fro between another
country and Ireland.
Lord Granville declared that coer-
cion was necessary.
The bill was then read q second time,
aud she committee stage having been
nepa:ived, the third reading was dxod
for tomorrow "wednesday morning.I
