Irish members subsidized almost rs soon uss
theact was done. Many members on bothF
sides began to perceive that n mistake had
been committed. Later, when Mr.; G lad
stone entered and learned tho cirumstar.3 (
ees Of tho suspension, II was easy to ispt, see
from his pale md contracted face that lie !
felt some ono had blundercd. Later in !
the day the whole story leaked out TINT tho (
government had laid n trap for the IrisLSi
members, and that It's own supporters had
fallen into it. At n Cabinet counsel ii Ind
been arranged that the Irish members /
should be suspended by surprise, some. I
thing in the fashion Of last II year. s,,l \
1t was hoped that in the course Of the,
debate they would bc tempted & to I
say or do something which would i
give colorado pretext for tho action
Of the Chair. In this hope the following
plan was adopted: When at midnight tho
Irish party divided into relays, the Cow
crnment obtained li,l Of all the men com. com
posing the Irish night relay. It WINS then
arranged with the Speaker that at about
Z o'clock in the morning an nltercatit Z
should bc provoked, which would offer an Z
excuse TO the Chairman OF the Committee
to suspend the whole relay q, bloc, SO that
the Government, having suspended all the
parnellites present, could pass The biIls.
through the Committee before the dayA
tehy- urrlyed 10 take their places. The I

lshoIant Oh Tue iact that his list OF the Irish
hlsat relay was only partially correct. Hes
sent %ord 10 pr. Playiair to suspend the

terview with the Irish leader after the sus.
pensions. Mr. sParnell sail, l,5"al think that
the suspensions were prearranged in antic.Fj
lpition OF our giving ground for them by
obstruction, but linding there was no OBJ
slructlon, the coup d'etat did not come Off }
rs soon us was originally intended, but itSS
WIS resorted to later on by DR.. Playiair,s
and considerable body Of opinion on both
sides ot the House holds that we have beenSii
most unfairly treated, and this opinion is =
growing. Many Liberals walked out
when the division was called and refused (
TO vote, owing, believe, to the ABSENCE
OF anything which could fairly be called 4
obstruction. The Ministers lad q partly;s
changed their minds, and had partly aban.8
doned their intention Of n suspension ,8
when DR.. Elayiair blundered prematurely
INTO It. l consider this step rs most. dams
gerous to the government, and believe that !:
they regret it. !" ~ y 5E5ss
In the confusion which followed, the first
motion to suspend tho Irish members, NIr.a:
Iarnell was seen 10 leave his place and SpoT
toward Dr.. Playfair. A group Of members y
gathered about, attracted by the unusual 4
actlon o. the Irish leader, who seemed .
somewhat angry. Having arrived at the Z
