MIR. GLADSTONE REBUKES Mr. PARNELIr-THE IN
FERNAL MACHINES.
LONDON Aug. BIN the House of Commons last
night, on going into Committee of Supply. Mr. Par
nell brought under review the suspension of MFR.
Okelly Home Ruler some weeks ago for character
izing statement of Mr.. Tottenham Conscrvatiycl
as lying and calumnious." Mr.. Parnen argued
that the standing order under which Mr. OKellv
had been suspended was intended only to check
persistent obstruction and not to punish the hasty
use of dsorderly language, and he blamed the
Speaker for not giving him opportunity of with
drawing the language he used on the ! st instant
when he was suspended by the vote of the House
for persistng, in spite of the Speakers ruling in
raising the question of the Irish political prisoners
Mr. Gladstone commented very warmly on the
hoerty assumed 10y Mr. Parnell of appealing TO the
rules of the House night and insulting them the
next night, aud he severely censured him for intro
ducing the subject at time when il was impossible
for the House to pronounce Judgment. Considering
that Mr.. OKelly had used the words immediately
after MIR. /. l.. OConnor had been called to order
Tor using the word mendacious," he thought the
charge against the Speaker completely failed. The
subject was then dropped
