add to its efficiency. They tried
this improved apparatus upon the

generated into personal acrimo-

denuncistions of the bill which the
Tory leaders declined to endorse.
The Rt. Hon. VIM. II. Smith even
made the useless proposal to re-
commit the bill to prevent, under
the rules of the House, Lord
Churchill from proposing his mo-

language, denounced the cowardice
of the absent leaders and moved to
divide the House. The moderate
Tories strove to dissuade him, and
even Lord Churchill was willing to
withdraw all opposition.
The afternoon sitting ended amid
confusion. The scene was even
more extraordinary at the evening
sitting. Few OF the Tories were
present. The Liberals were pres
ent in large numbers. The debate
was nothing more than q series OF
personal recrlminatiODs. Several
Irish members accused Lord Gros-
venor, the Liberal whip, of having,
through the mediation Of Litton,
debarred them access to Gladstone
in the early stage OF the bill. Glad

the charges. Littou was absent.
