PHASES OF THE IRISH AGITATION.

LONDON. July I'm the House of Commons this
afternoon, during the debate on the report of
the Repression bill. Mr.. Gladstone said the
Government had taken measures, unknown TO
Parliament to operate against secret societies.
An amendment offered by Mr.. Treyelyan. Chief
Secretary for Ireland to limit the right OF search
to the daytime, except in the case of secret soci-
etics. was strongly opposed by the Conservatives
and others. Mr.. Gladstone declared that if the
amendment was rejected he would have to consider
his personal position The amendment was rejected
by "A vote of 2O7 TO l9h
Previous to the vote Mr. Bright said If the amend
ment was rejected the people throughout Ireland
would feel that at any moment their houses could
be invaded The Irish members unfortunately were
absent in full confidence that the Government
would redeem their pledge. If the House was de-
terInined TO make the law more severe than the
Government desired the result would be injurious
to Ireland.
When the figures were announced, Mr.. Gladstone
said that under ordinary circumstances he would
have asked the House to postpone further proceed
ings but in the remarkable state of Ireland he did
not feel that il was right TO take that course.
Sir Micl ael IIicks-Beach accused the Government
of having two parties in the Cabinet, which accu-
sation Mr. Bright denied. Mr. GOschen said that
while he was reluctant to oppose the GOyernm mt
he did not feel convinced by the arguments in favor
of Mr. Trevelyans amendment. W. +. Forster said
that he should support the Government, as he be-
heyed the proposed amendment resulted solely
from we-consldered opinions of the Irish Govern
ment.
The report on the Repression bill was finished at
Hmm Mr.. Trevelyan moved the third reading,
which was carried, Messrs. Ceilings. Cowen,
Labouchere aud Storey being the only dissententS.

The supporters of the Government do not think
Ministerial crisis will result from the vote on Mr.
Trevclvan,s amendment in the House of Commons,

directed against himself. If Mr. Gladstone now
