ONAUAAS ~
tation IN France.
LONDON, Oct. 24.-Parliament re -assem
bled to-day. Previous to the assembling
of the commons, the advanced Irish mem
bers held a meeting. They were chiefly
occupied in arranging petitions referring
to the imprisonment of Dryer Gray.
Lord Mayor Dawson, of Dublin, has a
hundred petitions to present in the house.
In the commons, Lord Randolph Chur-
chill, conservative, contended that the pres
ent sitting was irregular. After the .appro-
priation bill had received the royal assent
he moved an adjournment of the house in
order to protest against the autumn ses-
sion.
Churchill made a long Historical review.
He pointed out, amidst loud cheers. from
the tories that the commons had ever been
jealous against monarchal or ministerial
tyranny. Gladstone said he was glad to
see Lord Churchill and the house again.
He contended that the precedents quoted
by Churchill were inapplicable. The house,
be said, had full power to take its present
course, Churchill had small knowledge
of parliament if he thought the govern
ment wonld be upset by a vote of van of
confidence On the appropriation bill.
In the lords Granville gave notice he
would, Thursday next, move a vote of
thanks to the commanders, officers and men
of the British army in Egypt. He would
then propose that the house adjourn until
Nov. 10.
LONDON, Oct. 24-The Irish Parliament
tary party. after a conference have decided
to insist that inquiry be made upon the
question of Gray's imprisonment
with a view of restricting
the Judges action in the matter.
Mr.. Powers will, in addition to this, re-
| open the discussion of the present work
ings of the land act.
Lord Randolph Churchill, in opening
the business of parliament to-day, moved
an Immediate adjournment as a fitting
protest against the unconstitutional meth
cd pursued in assembling that body.
Gladstone cited the precedent of 1920,
when the house adjourned in July and re-
assembled in August, and transacted bust
ness Of various kinds. Thus, he said,
Lord Randolph Churchilrs assertion was
entirely destroyed, smashed, pulverized.
ECheers and laughter.
Northcote commended ChurchilPs &C
ton. He asked Gladstone whether he
would adhere to his financial view of the
situation Or make a statement with refer
ence to the war in Egypt
After remarks by Harcourt, home
secretary, and Wolff, Conservative,
the house divided on the motion of Lord
Randolph Churchill, and it was defeated,
209 to 142. Gladstone then gave notice
that he would move a vote of thanks Thurs
day to the British army in Egypt. Glad
stone stated in regard to the first rule of
procedure that the government would ad-
here to its main proposals, and would offer
as a second rule, that motions for ad
journment could only be made by leave
were finished and orders of the day COM
menced, a motion for granting leave
should be put forthwith, on more than for
ty members supporting it by rising in
their places. Gladstone gave notice of a
further addition to the rules, accor ding to
which motions to bring in bills and bills
that nave passed in committee shall not
be subject to the rule precluding any op-
posed business being taken after 1890
am. This will in a great measure frus-
trate the obstructive blockade of bills.
Gladstone then moved a resolution giving
precedence to the rules of procedure when
ever set down.
Northcote expressed regret at the 'dscis-
ion of the government to adhere to clo-
ture.
Walter Barttelot, conservative, declared
he would oppose cloture by all the forms
of the house, and he called upon the oppo
sition to do the same.
Ashmead Bartlett, conservative, made a
similar declaration.
The house DIVIDED and Gladstone's
motion for precedence was carried, SO to
AZ. Gladstone called attention to the
committee of Mr.. E. Dwyer Gray. He
said he was glad to see Gray present in
the house. Precedents. Gladstone affirmed.
were completely in favor of the appoint
ment of a committee in Gray's case, and
be moved the appointment Of such com
mittee. The government, he announced
contemplated submitting early in the
next session a measure dealing with COM
initials for contempt.
Parnell asked Gladstone to enlarge the
scope of inquiry to be made by the con-
mission proposed in the Gray case, else
the time occupied by the commission in its
deliberations would be wasted. He con-
tended that the question to consider was a
modification of the power of the judges.
Lewis, member for Londonderry, mod
crate conservative, endorsed Parnell's
views.
Henry James, attorney general, explain
ed the motion for the appointment of a
commission was a matter of privilege, and
the house could not go beyound the case
that ha d raised the point of privilege.
Gladstone's motion was agreed to.
Northcote inquired when the papers in
relation to Egypt would be presented.
