GREAT BRITAIN.
LONDON, Oct. 31.-In the house of COM
mons Sir Chas. Dixie, under foreign Sec
rotary, said in answer to a question that
negotiations had been entered into with
the governments of France and Spain in
relation to commercial treaty since he
had last communicated with parliament
upon the subject.
In answer to question Sir Charles
| Dixie said that the government were iy-
norant of the autecedents of the commits
sioners who had been appointed to try
Arab Pasha, and that the English govern
ment would not interfere with the
details of the trial. He
further stated that counsel
on both sides had agreed upon rules for
procedure which did not exclude the press.
The government had insisted on certain
matters, but could not undertake the trial
from London.
Trevlyn, secretary for Ireland, in reply
ing to Mr.. Sexton, said, that reports Of dis
tress and of imminent danger of famine
in West Ireland were greatly exaggerated.
He had communicated with the Irish
local government board, who said that
they had no reason to apprehend any dis
tress, and had heard nothing of it from the
inspectors; that the government had Or
dered Inspector Price to despatche boat to
the relief of the inhabitants of Tory Is
land, taking provision for distribution.
The conservative members of parlia-
ment held meeting to-day, Sir Stafford
| Northcote, conservative leader, being in
the chair. With very little opposition
they decided to combat the operation of
the clutore to the bitter end.
| The debate on the procedure rules was
| resumed. Gibson, conservative. moved
that the crurial amendment of cloture shall
not be carried unless two-thirds of those
present at any session shall vote in favor
of the exercise of it on that particular oc-
casion. He pointed out and urged upon
| the attention of members that this legis-
lative body would no longer be fairest in
| the world, but that it would be possible, if
cloture was to be decided by a bare maiority.
for any government party with compact
majority to suppress full speech in the
house, and that such majority might. if
they chose, legislate for the country, with
the mouths of members closed, and the
minority helpless to represent their con-
stituents.
Gladstone explained to the house that
he offered during the session last MAY, to
| adopt the two-thirds majority rule, hoping
thereby to forward the business
Of the session. As that Do
ject was not attained then
he felt justified in the withdrawal of that
proposal, which was merely plan to give
defective system, and one which he could
not wholly approve, a trial. He denied
that there was any desire to gag the min
GRITTY, and said his only wish was to re-
strain unnecessary debate against the evil
dent sense of the house. Gibson's amend
ment would have the effect of transferring
the rights of the majority to the minority.
He would make this question a subject of
appeal to the country, but he begged that
the house would not assent to that amend
ment. 1t would be infinitely preferable
that there should be no cloture whatever
than that there be one established which it
should require two thirds majority to put
into operation.
Sir John Lubbock, liberal, spoke in
favor of the two thirds vote for enforcing
the cloture. Sir Richard Ashton Gross and
other conservatives made addresses sup
porting the amendment. The debate, how
ever, fell into rut, and after a somewhat
languid discussion, it was arranged be-
tween the leaders of the parties that a
division Should be taken Thursday, and
the question be finally settled then.
