IRISH PARLIAMENTARY PARTY.
In order to prevent the perpetuation of d.
visions in the Irish parliamentary party, and
lax attendance of its members, plan is under
consideration to pay each member elected to
parliament at the next election G300 per ses-
SION of parliament, and for contribution of
.f350 towards the expenses of each contested
election. 1t is proposed to raise the fund by
the levy of shilling per year on each elector,
and to ask the land league to contribute in the
event of deficit.
PARLIAMENT.
LONDON, March 6.--In commons this even
ing Sir Stafford Northcote moved the house
reaffirm the resolution of February z. that
Bradlaugh be not permitted to go through
the form of repeating the words of the oath.
Majoribanks, liberal, moved an amendment in
favor Of legislation, permitting affirmation.
Labouchere, promised on behalf of Bradlaugh,
if Majoribank's amendment should be carried
he, (Bradlaugh), would not go up to the
table until the legislation was effected,
provided the delay was only for
a reasonable time. Gladstone supported the
amendment as the best means of relieving the
house from its increasingly painful position.
Majoribanks' amendment was rejected by psf
against 242, and Northcote's motion was
carried without division. Msjoribanks gave
notice he would ask leave to bring in bill
amending the law relating to the parliamentary
oath.
Gladstone, in moving the address to the
queen referring to her recently attempted as
sassination, said similar attempts upon the
lives of rulers in other countries had been as
serted with some grievance or discomfort,
whereas the attempt upon the queen was
prompted solely by morbid desire for no
toriety. Northcote seconded the motion for
the address and it was carried UNANIMOUSLY.
Debate on the land act committee of the
house of lords was resumed. In the lords a
resolution was moved by Granville and sec
onded by Salisbury, congratulating the queen
on her escape, was unanim ously passed.
