l Defiant Home RuIers-ParneIl and His Followers Suspended - Defying the Speaker and House Of Commons-An | Unprecedented Uproar in the House Davitt's Arrest the Firebrand-IreIan nd Greatly Excited Over His Arrest.
 LONDON Feb. 3.-Michael Davitt. Fenian conspirator and prominent member of the
 Land League, was to-day arrested and his
 ticket of leave cancelled by order of Sir Will l liam Vernon Harcourt, Home Secretary. Davitt was arrested in England after the Fenian rising in 1867 on the charge of having furnished arms to the Fenians. The arrest took place to-day in Dublin while he was crossing Carlisle bridge and was effected by detectives from London. As soon as the news was made known in the House of Com mons, which was in session, scene of ex- citement immediately ensued. The Home Rule members clustered together and dis cussed the arrest, with the intense interest they felt visible in their looks and gestures. The action of the government was evidently surprise and they were at loss as to what to do or say. Parnen arose, and. although his speech is usually measured and cool, de- manded in trembling tones of the Home Sec retary if it were true that Davitt had been ar rested as reported and deprived of his ticket of leave. Sir William Harcourt in reply said it was true and the reason which justified the government in arresting him was that for some time past Davitt's conduct has been in compatible with the conditions of his ticket of leave. MT. Parnel at once demanded to know what were the conditions of the ticket of leave the government accused Davitt of having broken. To this the Home Secretary rerused to return 8 reply. Upon this the smouldering excitement broke out afresh in the House, and it is safe to say that never in the recent history of Parliament has such 8 scene been witnessed Personalities flew thick and fast and the Speaker was unable to preserve order. When quiet had been to a degree restored Gladstone rose to move his resolution for second reading of the coer- cion bill Mir. Dillon, Home Ruler, inter- rupted the Premier with sharp comment on the governments attitude and was told by the Speaker to resume his seat. This Dillon refused to do, but persisted in finish ing his remarks. A motion to suspend Dillon from the privileges of the House inn mediately followed and was carried by a vote on division of 395 to B. The Speaker then requested Dillon to leave the House, but he positively refused to stir from his seat. scene of great excitement resulted. which eliminated in the forcible removal of Dillon by the sergeant -at-arms with six assistants. As the sergeant -at-arms with his posse pro- ceeded to lay hands on him Dillon ex- claimed in a loud voice that he would submit to force and force only, and as he walked out in custody the Irish cCha fa1 ttChon,oi Chopoof51 the Dillon affair had ended, the House re- ceived Gladstone with loud cheers as the lat ter renewed his speech on his motion on the bill. Parnen here arose and insisted that Gladstone be no longer heard. The Speaker called attention to the fact that Parnell was defying the House, and ordered him to re sume his seat. MT. Parnell, following the example of Dillon, refused to do this, and MT. Gladstone moved that he be suspended. The motion was carried on division of the House by a vote of 4O5 to 7, a number of Home Rulers being out. Parnen was then arrested and removed amid scene of unpar- alleled excitement. The picture, as Dillon and then Parnen were hustled down the aisle of the House toward the bar with as many men as could walk at each side, was comical as well as suggestive. The House was on it's feet to a man shouting, protesting and gestic- ulating according to feelings of the members. The Home Rulers then one after another persisted III oeIylnS Ine opeaker anu were named in body. A company of police was brought into the House at this stage of the proceedings and staid ready to expel them. After Parnel1 had been removed MT. Finni- gan. Home Ruler from Ennis, defied the chair and was removed. The twenty-eight to 20 into the lobby on the division removed, were all named by the Speaker, and their suspension was voted (41O for and 6 against). The entire Irish delegation was then put out of the House by the police in the midst of tumult which if possible sur passed all that had preceded it.
 Tonight the scenes in the House are the sole topic of conversation in the clubs and in all circles. Leading Radicals, including Messrs Chamberlain, Cowen, Jesse, Ceilings, Burt and Dilk, are understood to be canvas sing what action can best be taken in view of the unfortunate position in which the gov ernment has placed itself by it's high handed and arbitrary course and leading Conserva- nifed events of the day, laugh in their sleeves over the mess into which MT. Gladstone and the ministry have plunged themselves.
 Michael Davitt, whose arrest in Dublin was the handspring of this almost unprecedented performance, is a native of county Mayo, Ireland, where he was born in the terrible famine year of 1846. He is the son of ten
 
 near which was the village of Stralde. In the general clearance made by the landlords after the famine the elder Davitt was ejected with hundreds of others and the family came to the United States and located in Pennsyl- vania, but afterwards removed to Eng land, taking with them Michael, who was then but a mere lad, and settled in Rochdale, where young Davitt grew up. On charge of having furnished arms to the Fenians Davitt was arrested in 1867, and sen tenced to fifteen years of penal servitude including seven years of the term in the prison pens of England. He was at length ty, and paid visit to the United States. On his return from his second visit last Novem- Der he landed in Ireland, which fact led to his arrest.
 9p m-The Home Rule benches being empty, MT. Gladstone is proceeding with his motion.
 Gladstone made most splendid speech in favor of his motion against obstruction and was followed by Sir Stafford Northcote, who accepted the basis of the bill. but said that he wanted to slightly amend it. Mutual con sessions were made, as it was the desire of both sides to preserve the dignity of the House. The debate was very moderate in the absence of the Home Rulers and the motion was carried out in triumph.
 LONDON, Feb. 4.-The Home Rule mem bers of the House of Commons who were suspended yesterday, held meeting last night and agreed to return to their seats to- day and continue their obstruction. They also issued a manifesto to the Irish people in which they counsel respect for order, but denounce Parliament in unmeasured terms. The arrest of Michael Davitt has caused great excitement in Ireland
