GREAT BRITAIN.
LONDON, Nov. I'm the commons this
afternoon Healy implanted that part of
the question to Trevelyn, secretary for Ire
land, relating to the>conduct of the sub
commissioners under the land act had been
stricken out. He therefore moved an ad-
journmen. in order to give tie house a
chance for discussion. The speaker, in,
terruptlng, said attacks upon the officers
of the house must be made by direct nc
ton. T1evelyn said that commissioners
and land valuators had been selected from
class of gentlemen that both landlords
and tenants ought to have confidence in.
Dickson said the appointment of the
court of valuators had destroyed the
confidence Of the tenant farmers in the
land act. Parneu insisted that the per-
sons appointed had been taken from the
landlord class, and that Healy's clauses
had been frittered away by conservative
judges. He demanded full discussion of
the matter before the propagation of par
lament. Gladstone said that when the
house was nearer the end of the discussion
OF the procedure rules, they would be bet
ter able to decide whether the land act
would be discussed. Healy then withdrew
his motion for adjournment. Trevelyn
stated that two poor unions had applied
for grants under the rules of the emiyra-
ton of the poor, twenty two had bsen
scheduled, and more were likely to apply
Labouchere spoke in favor of Gibson's
amendment. Parnen opposed it because
two-thirds majority implied combina-
ton that might be easily formed between
Liberals and Conservatives for the pur-
pose of trampling upon the people Of Ire
land, Or kicking Irish members out OF the
house. Parnell said he would reserve to
himself to vote with the Conservatives in
the final eff0rt which would be made TO re-
ject ,cloture.
Stafford Northcote charged Gladstone
with inconsistency in abandoning the two
thirds majority principle which he had
Origin ally fathered. Northcots contended
that the adoption of cioturs would impair
that kindly moderating influence which
always heretofore existed between the
speaker of the house and members. In
behalf of the conservatives he protested
against the measure.
Lord Harrington, Liberal, appealed to
the house not to rest the power of cloture
in the hands of irresponsible leaders OF
the opposition, for this would be the prac-
teal result of rule requiring a majority
of two-thirds to enforce cloture.
A division upon Gibson's amendment
resulted, against, 322; for 23S, as the mat
ter now stands, therefore, the provisions
of the clOture act require only a majority
vote to enforce gag rule.
Fawcett, postmaster general, stated to
the house that it was not true PROPOSE
ton was being considered looking to the
dispatch of mails to America from Holy
head instead of Queenstown, as at present.
Gladstone said the Egyptian government
will be asked to contribute toward the ex-
penses of the British occupation. 1t was
not part of England's duty to aid Egypt
in restoring order in Soudan.

ment, the purport of which is that Arab

unacceptable.
LONDON, Nov. 2.-The report of Messrs.
