rested because his action was considered in
compatible with his ticket of leave. Parnell
asked what conditions Davitt had violated.
There was no answer to the question. The
Irish members shouted "shame," and other
members cheered tremendously The scene
surpassed description. The speaker called
upon Gladstone to move his resolution. John
Dillon rose, but the speaker refused to hear
him. After repeated warnings the speaker
named Dillon and Gladstone moved his sus-
pension amidst enthusiastic cheers and cries of
''order,' the Irish members shouting "shame." F"
The motion for suspension was adopted, 395
TO SO. Dillon refused to withdraw and was
forcibly removed by the sergeant at arms by
order of the speaker, amidst cries of SHANE"
by the Irish members.
There waS.a hastily summoned meeting of
the cabinet council his afternoon.
Cowan, radical having given notice of a
motion deprecating the use of Gladstone's
resolution to control the liberties of Ireland,
Gladstone made reply. He said it was due to
the house and the speaker, his, Gladstone's,
action of yesterday should be discussed as
early as possible. But the house cannot give
the motion on the subject priority over the
obstruction resolution or the protection bill.
These remarks we're greeted with loud cheers.
A. NJ. Sullivan announced that he withdrew
his motion relative to the speaker, as he re-
fused TO be a party TO force. He protested
against Dillon's foreible removal as an act Of
violence and illegality. The speaker pointed
out the fact that Dillon had defied the chair.
Gladstone rose to address the house, when
O'Donough, liberal member for Tralee, moved
an adjournment The speaker ruled that
Gladstone was in possession of
the house. Parnell moved Glad
stone be no longer heard. The
speaker declared Parnell was defying the chair
and upon his persisting the speaker declared
that he was wilfully obstructing proceedings
and named him. Parnell's suspension was
moved, but upon the speaker making the
order that the house be cleared for division
the home rulers refused to leave the house.
The vote on the motion to suspend Parnell
resulted in suspension, 405 to 5, the home
rulers not voting. Parnell declining to with
draw, he was forcibly removed by the ser
geant at arms and five other officers, the
home rulers waving their hats as he passed
out.
Finnegan, liberal and nationalist then per-
sisted in speaking, and was named. He was
also suspended, 405 to o. The home rulers
again refused to vote. The speaker had their
names, numbering 27, taken down and a mo-
tion to suspend them was carried, 401 to 6.
They individually refused to leave the house,
only yielding to superior force. They were re-
moved singly by the seTgeant-at-arms.
The conduct of the home rulers is in accor-
dance with the resolution taken at a meeting
this afternoon to adopt the course recon-
mended by a. NJ. Sullivan, that the Irish mem
bers should remain in their seats instead OF go
into the lobbies or divisions.
Gladstone rose to move his resolution to
prevent obstruction, when O'Donnell moved
Gladstone be not heard. O'Donnell was i'm
o4a a1 nd Gladstone m his elIc-
pension, which was carried; 81 to 1. O'Don-
nell declining to withdraw, he was
removed with two other home rulers who
refused to leave the house when division was
taken. Gladstone referred to the irretrievable
waste of time since commencement of the ses-
sion, and then moved his resolution. He said
he was willing to entertain certain suggestions
of the opposition. The only way of meeting
obstruction was to give the house enlarged
powers to check it. he earnestly appealed to
members to support the government and rally
to the performance of the great duty, and not
let the house degenerate into the laughing
stock of the world.
It was moved as an addition to Gladstone's
resolution that minister shall declare any
motion urgent. Northcote assented andA the
amendment was withdrawn, and moved by Sir
William Harcourt as an addition to the reso-
luton. Mitchell Henry said the resolution
would 90 forth to ireland and to Europe as an
unfair advantage over expelled home rulers.
One hundred and fifty conservatives includ-
ing the whole late cabinet, except Lord Cairns,
met with Beaconsfield to-day to consider Glad
stones resolution. 1t is understood it is agreed
to give undivided support to Northcote's
amendment. The fourth party also support
the amendment. Beaconsield pointed out the
great decline in decency and dignity of the
house of commons since the retirement of his
cabinet, and said it was necessary the conser-
vatives do all in their power to restore the dig
nifty of the commons by supporting the gov
ernment as far as they are able in putting down
obstruction.
The motion for adjournment was defeated,
81 to 2S The first amendment of Northcote
having been added to-, the original resolution
was agreed to. Northcote's second amend
ment that the majority to decide the question
of urgency must consist of not less than 300
members was rejected. Gladstone's resolution
stone moved the bill for protection of life and
property in Ireland was urgent. The motion
carried and the house adjourned.
The home rulers expelled from the house
Yesterday held meeting last night, at which
they decided to issue manifesto to the Irish
people denouncing the action of the house,
but advising the people to keep within con-
stitutional action.
In the expectation that the home rulers
might carry resistance to extremes yesterday
$50 police were stationed in the vicinity of the
commons.

The Daily Telegraph this morning regrets
Gladstones motion in the house of commons
Yesterday, but fully recognizes the necessity
of the course undertaken by the government
to defeat the plans of the obstructionists.
A meeting of home rulers last night, Parnell
presiding, discussed the future stages of the
coercion bill. The unanimous feeling was,
that they should be resisted with the utmost
determination.
At meeting of conservatives several speak.
ers stated that sooner than submit to prolonged
obstruction they would agree to Gladstone s
entire proposal. .,.,-
course Yesterday to be irregular in form, says
il was clearly justified in substance.
