The Crimes Act-Parnen Attacks the 1 Conduct of the GOvernment-Carey Not Instructed by the Government -R Re- | cruits for the Ranks of the 1nvincibIes. LONDON, Feb. 26.-In the House of Com. mons this afternoon Baron De Worms ques toned Lord Harrington, war secretary, with a view to showing that differences existed be- tween Lord Harrington and MT. Chamber lain, president of the board of trade, on the subject of local self government in Ireland. Lord Harrington in reply read extracts from speech of Mir. Chamberlain's showing that the latter had not spoken of immediate legis- lation. He regretted that there should be an opinion that differences existed
 MT. Parnell then moved his amendment to the address in reply to the speech from the throne, attacking the executive in Ireland for the administration of the crimes act. The language of the amendment is very violent It refers to unjust executions" In moving the amendment Mir. Parnell said if there has been any reduction in the number of out rages in Ireland it is only because the people are being kept down by the brutal, terrible coercion act, administered in brutal, terri. ble way. He pointed to the fact that hardly any persons arrested under the Curfew clause had been convicted and proceeded to show that the power of arrest had been abused. He complained of the conduct of the Irish judges, who, he said, were mostly appointed for political reasons and were therefore unfit to try political cases. When the people saw that juries were packed and judges turned crown prosecutors all sympathy with law and order was destroyed ard the peo- pie inevitably became abettors of crime If the government after the Phoenix Park mur- ders were committed had relied on the sym pathy of the people, instead of upon a tyran- nical act, Ireland would have been pacified The methods of administering the crimes act had terribly delayed the conciliation of Ire- land, and the dawn of peace, for which all good men were looking and praying, had been put farther off than ever by the ill- timed brutality of those whose aim it should have been to preserve order by justice. The present duty of Parliament he con- tlnued, was to adopt such remedial legisla- tion as was still possible without the slight est delay and without waiting for discontent to grow into civil war and revolution. If they were to wait passively for peace none of those who listened to him would ever live to see it. In conclusion Mir. Parneu urged the immediate amendment of the land act, but said he could not conceal his fear that unless such action was both prompt and thorough, even that measure of long delayed justice would be found power less to quench the fervor of the National1sts for an independent autonomy.
 MT. Sullivan, member. for Westmeath, gave notice that he would ask for the imme- diate release from prison of Mir. Harrington, who had just been elected member from Westmeath. MT. Trevelyan, chief secretary for Ireland, denied that James Carey, the informer, had been interviewed be- fore he went on the witness stand. Lord Harrington declined to give Sir Stafford Northcote a day for discussing mo- tion asking for the appointment of commit tee to inquire into the circumstances attend ing the release of Messrs. Parnell, Dillon and O'Kelley from Kilmainham jail. Sir Stafford Northcote said he would take time to con- sider the course he should pursue.
 In the House of Commons MT. Parnelrs amendment to the address in reply to the speech from the throne was rejected by vote of ,133 to 15.
