LONDON. February

called upon Mr.. Gladstone to move his
resolution. Mr.. John Dillon rose, but
the Speaker refused to hear him. After
repeated warning the Speaker named"
Mr.. Dillon, and MIR. Gladstone moved
his suspension amidst enthusiastic cheers
and cries of "order," the Irish members
shouting, "shame." A motion for the
suspension of Mr.. Dillon was adopted by
a vote of 395 to 33. Mr.. Dillon refused
TO withdraw from the House, and was
forcibly removed by the Sergeant.at-
Arms by order of the Speaker, amidst
cries of "shame" by the Irish members.
Michael Davitt, the agitator, was ar
rested in Dublin to-day under his ticket
of leave"
At meeting of the Land League, in
Dublin, yesterday, it was resolved to hold
q national convention between the pass
ing of the coercion bill and its becoming
operative as law.
The House of Commons is very crowd
ed this afternoon. Mr.. Mitchell Henry,
home ruler, and Mr.. Collan, liberal, gave
notice of further amendments to MIR.
Gladstone's resolution. Mr.. Cowen, rad
ical, gave notice of a motion deprecating
the use of Mr.. Gladstone's resolution to
curtail the liberty of Ireland.
There was q hastily summoned meet
ing of the cabinet council at 2 o'clock
this afternoon.
Mr.. Gladstone, replying to Mr.. Cowen,
radical, said it was due to the House and
to the Speaker that his MIR. Gladstone's)
action of yesterday should be discussed
as early as possible, but that the House
cannot give a motion subject priority
over the obstruction resolutions Or pro.
lection bill. The remarks of the premier
we're greeted with loud cheers.
Mr.. A. NJ. Sullivan announced that he
withdrew his motion relative to the
Speaker, as he refused to be party 10 a
farce. Mr.. Sullivan protested against
Mr.. Dillon's forcible removal as an act of
violence and illegality.
The Speaker pointed out the fact that
Mr.. Dillon had defed the chair.
Mr.. Gladstone rose to address the
House. Mr.. O'Donoughue, liberal men,
Der for Tralee, rose to move an adjourn
ment of the House.
The Speaker ruled that MIR. Gladstone
was in possession of the House.
Mr.. Parnell moved that Mr.. Gladstone
be no longer heard.
The Speaker declared that Mr. Parnell
was defying the chair, and upon his per-
sistiug the Speaker declared that he was
wilfully obstructing the proceedings, and
named" him. Mr.. Palnell's suspension
was moved, but upon the Speaker max
ing an order that the House be cleared
for division, all the home rulers refused
to leave the house. The motion to sus-
pend Mr.. Parnell was ultimately voted
upon, and resulted in his suspension by q
vote of 405 to 7, the home rulers not
voting. Mr.. Parnell declining to with
draw he was forcibly removed from the
House by the Sergeant-at-Arms and five
other officers, the home rulers waving
their hats as he passed out.
Mr.. Finnegan, liberal and nationalist,
then persisted in speaking, and was
"named" by the Speaker.
1t appears that all the home rulers will
cause themselves to be suspended suc-
cessively. The force used in MIR. Dillon's
case merely consisted in the Sergeant-at.
Arms taking his arm.
8 p. m.-The motion for the suspension
of Mr.. Finnegan was carried by vote of
405 to 81; the home rulers again refused
to vote and the Speaker had their names,
numbering 81, taken down. Their con-
duct is in accordance with resolution
taken at the meeting this afternoon to
adopt the course recommended by Mr..
A. NJ. Sullivan, that the Irish members
should remain in their seats instead of
going to lobbies or division.
A motion to suspend 81 home rulers
was carried by vote of 40 to 6, where
upon they declined to leave the House,
only yielding to superior force. They
we're removed singly by the Sergeant-at-
Arms.
After the vote suspending the home
rulers, Mr.. Gladstone rose to move his
resolution to prevent obstruction, when
MIR. O'Donnell moved that Mr. Gladstone
be not heard. Mr.. O'Donnell was imme-
diately named" and Mr.. Gladstone
moved his suspension, which motion was
carried by vote Of 3l1 to l.
Mr.. O'Donnell, declining to withdraw,
was removed with two other home rulers
who refused to leave the House. When
a division was taken Mr.. Gladstone then
moved his resolution.
MIR. Gladstone referred to the irretriey-
able waste of time since the commence
ment of the session. In regard to his
resolution, he stated that the government
had drawn largely on the loyal confidence
of the opposition. Mr.. Gladstone then
moved his resolution. He said that he
was willing to accept certain suggestions
of the opposition. The only way of
meeting the obstruction was to give the
House enlarged powers to check it. He
earnestly appealed to the members to
support the government and rally to the
performance of great duty, and not let
the House degenerate into the laughing
stock of the world.
The Address OF the Irish Members of Par
liament.
LONDON, February 4.-As soon as the
Irish members had been suspended yes
terday meeting Of the party, held after
the discussion, decided to issue mani
festo to the Irish people, asking them to
remain quiet and not allow themselves to
be forced into conflict with the armed
forces of the empire. During the night
Mr.. Parnell received several communi-
cations from Liberal CLUBS throughout
England condemning the action Of the
Speaker and hoping that the agitation in
England against coercion would be car
ried on vigorously. The address of the
Irish members to the Irish people was
received in Dublin tonight. 1t says:
"Fellowcountrymen, at q moment
when too many acts of the Irish execu-
tive abrogate the law and tend to drive
you from positions of constitutional ac-
ton, the reign of force has been inaugu-
rated against us as your representatives
here on the floor of the House of Com
mons. A proposal to depart from the
ordinary and legitimate procedure of
Parliament, and to suppress at stroke
