luton as finally adopted by the house of COM
mons are that motion for urgency must be
made by minister, who must state his rea-
sons, and that majority voting on the ur-
gency must consist of three to one in the

modification was also introduced making it
clear that speaker is entitled to use the
power conferred upon him only for facilitating
the particular business which might be de-
clared Urgent. The most extraordinary pre-
cautions We're taken in the house last night, and
almost every door leading into the lobbies

vate, but it is officially announced that

rules before the house. Meanwhile he will

moved the rejection of the bill, because, he
said, there is no certainty that the house of
lords viii approve the land bill. as yell as the
coercion bill. He laid stress on the impor-
tance OF the retrospective provisions of the
measure relative to lists of arrests to be pre-
sented to parliament monthly. He said it was
not intended that the sanction of par
Lament should be necessary for any par
ticular arrest. Later information, he said,
made the case in favor of the bill much
stronger.

state of his health. The Parnellites abstain
from signing it.
LONDON, Feb. "A dispatch from Dublin,
