IN PARLIAMENT.
10 the House OF Commons to-day Sir
Charles Dixie, under foreign secretary, IN
| answer to question, said that No, nsgotla-
lions had been entered into with The govern
ments of France and Spain in relation 10 a
| commercial treaty since he had last com "a i
| picated with Parliament upon the SUBJECT
| In answer to a question, Sir Charles Dixie
| said that the government were ignorant OF
| the anteeedents OF the commission who hao
1 been appointed to Try Arab PAshs, and tha'
| the English government would not interfere
| with the details of the trial. Hs iurtneI
stated that counsel on both sides had agree
/ on rules for procedure which did not e1ciuoe
| the press. The government had insisted on
| h. mt undertake
| trial from London.
| Treyelyan secretary for Ireland, IN reply
! ing to Mr. Sexton, said that the reports o.
distress and imminent danger OF famine IL
| the west of Ireland were greatly exagger
aled. He had communicated with the lrlSf
| government local board, who said that they
had no reason TO apprehend any distress, anf
| had bea d nothing OF il from the inspectors
| that the government had ordered Inspector
| Price TO dispatch boat to the relief OF tins
inhabitants of Tory Island, taking provls
ions for distribution.
Debate on the procedure rules was re
| sumed, and Gibson, Conservative, moved
that the Crucial amendment OF the clotur'
shall not be carried unless two-thirds o
| those present at any session shall vote II
favor of the exercise of it on thst partIcula
occasion. He pointed out and urged upol
the attention of the members that this iesls
lative body would no longer be the freest IL
the world, but that it would be possible, l
the cloture was 10 be decided by bare ma
ioritv, for any government party with
compact majority TO suppress free speech Il
the House, and that such a majority might
if they chose, legislate for the country witt
their mouths closed, and the minority help
less TO represent their constituents.
Gladstone explained to the House that
offered during the session last May to adop
the two-thirds majority rule, hoping there6
10 forward the business of the session. A
that object was not attained then, he Tel
justified in the Withdrawal of that propose
which was merely plan to give defectly
system, and one which he could not who'll
| approve, atrial. He denied that there wa
any desire to gag the minority, and said hi
only wish was TO restrain unnecessary debat
against the evident sense of the Hons'
Gibson's amendment would have the etfet
of transferring the rights of the majority
the minority. He would not make TIL
question a subject of appeal to the country
but he begged thai the House would nc
assent to that amendment. 1t would he IL
fnitely preferable that there should be n
cloture whatever than that there be or
established which il should require two
thirds majoriIy:to put into operation.
