LONDON, March 27.-The O'Donoughue
member of Parliament for Tralee, in reply
ing to Justin McCsrthy's circular to the
Home Rulers, urging them to vote against
eloture, says the defeat OF the Gladstone
Ministry would be fatal to the best interests
Of ireland. 1t would hand over the land
act to those who would do their best to de-
feat its working. The O'Donoughue con-
siders that If wise counsels had Irevailed,
Ireland would already be eontented, and
that cloture is legitimate and necessary
assertion Of the power Of the majority.

ished. No arrests.
The Tines says that thirty-three Home
Rule members Of Parliament have promised

In the House of Commons this evening,
Mr.. Gladstone, replying to MIR. HealeY,
member for Wexford, said that the liberia
ton on parole Of some of the suspects, to
enable them to attend to private business,
forms no precedent for liberating Messrs.
Parnell, Dillon and O'Kelly that they may
participate in the division on the cloture
The Times says "The Reform Club has
decided to suspend all elections for mem
bership in the club until after meeting
can be held to reconsider the method of
election. This isin consequence of the re-
cent overwhelming blackballipg of two
brothers and of Mr.. Chamberlain, President
of the Board of Trade, which created great
scandal In exposing, as 1t did, the divisions
in the Liberal party"

the debate was resumed on the proposed
rules OF parliamentary procedure.
Justin Mccarthy, Home Rule member for
Longford, assured the House that there had
been no sort of conspiracy or conciliation
between the Home Rulers and the Conserva-
tives. Ii the latter came to power, they
would introduce douhly severe measures OF
coercion, and the Home Rulers would be
unable to charge them with a breach of
faith.
Mr.. Gladstone said he believed it was the
general feeling of the House that division
should be taken on Thursday night.
John Bright moved an adjournment of
the debate.
Thomas Sexton thereupon announced
that be had received q telegram from Par
nell, Dillon and O'Relly stating that they
had asked Mr.. Forster for permission to be
present at the division, and had undertaken
to refrain from any other political action
duriug their absence from prison, and to
surrender after the division. Mr. Sexton
asked whether permission would be granted.
The Speaker ruled that the ques ion was
disorderly. The Parnellites continued the de-
bate on the motion for adjournment, de-
claring that, If fair play was not granted
they would use all the forms of the House
to obstruct the debate.
