LONDON, Feb. 2.-1:30 A. NJ: The House
is still in session. John Bright has just
declared that the Government will submit
to the resolutions for dealing with obstruc-
ton, which is unparalleled and an insult
to Parliament. The Speaker, replying to
Atherton Cross, said if he found that will
full obstruction, like making the same
speeches repeatedly ON a motion, he should
consider that under standing orders the
members would come within their applica-
ton.
Parnell, Sullivan, Mccarthy, Dillon and
O'Connell continued the discussion.
William Henry Smith Conservative
and formerly First Lord of the Admiralty
rose to q question of order. He said that
Parnell was one of eleven members who
had spoken thirty three times on motions
for adjournment. Smith summoned DR..
Playfair, wi,o had relieved the Speaker, to
name Parnell as guilty Of wilful obstruc-
ton. DR.. Playfair ruled that a sufficient
case was not made out for such a proceed
ing.
Milbank Conservative member from
Y%orkshire) rose to a point of order. He
said that Biggar had just applied to him
the epithet of 'sfool" with a foul pretext.
DR.. Playfair ruled that the expression
was absolutely disorderly.
Another motion for adjournment having
been negatived, Biggar rose on a matter
of privilege. He said Milbank had crossed
the floor Of the House and called him an
impudent scoundrel.
Biggar denied that he had called Mil
bank a "fool."
Milbank said he distinctly heard Biggar
use the expression.
DR.. Playfair said it was the duty of
Milbank to apologize to the House for call
ing Biggar a scoundrel, but not to Biggar.
Milbank then made an apology in ac-
cordance with the decision of the Deputy
Speaker. The incident terminated and
the House resumed debate.
Cummins Home Rule member for Ros-
common) took his seat at 3:45 A. NJ, having
spoken nearly two hours. He was inter-
rupted several times by points of order,
but Deputy Speaker Playfair stated that
although Cummins was greatly trying the
patience Of the House, he was in order.

At 8 A. M. Gladstone entered and was
loudly cheered. The Speaker resumed his
seat and prohibited further debate. Great
excitement followed. A decision was taken,
and the Government obtained leave to
bring in their bill for the protection Of life
and property in Ireland, by a vote Of 164
to 10. The Home Rule members left the
House in a body, and the bill was read for
the first time, and the second reading be-
ing fixed for noon. The House adjourned,
having set constantly for AZ hours. Just
before the Speaker interposed, Biggar con
cluded a speech by expressing a wish for
the success of Fenianism. 1t was under
stood that an appeal to the Chair
to stop obstruction was agreed on
by Liberals and Conservatives. In
the obstruction, the Speaker
said For Al hours the House has been &C.
cup1ed by repeated motions for adjourn
ment, supported by small minorities in OPP
position to the general sense of the House.
