quired for service at any moment, their
crews have been reinforced.
In the House of Commons last night

Queens speech was resumed.
After some discussion, Mr.. Justin Nc
CarthY asked leave to withdraw th e amend
ment agreed upon by the Home Rulers in
its present form.
Mr. Forster, Chief Secretary for Ireland,
objected, because the amendment was
weakly supported.
Mr.. Mccarthy denied this, and the debate
was proceeded witG The amendment was
ultimately rejected by vote of POI to 81.
The debate was then adjourned.
The county Clare and several Baronies
of Sligo have been declared to be in state
OF disturbance.
