IoxDoS Feb 23-There was much excitement
in the House of Commons at the opening of the ses
SION this afternoon, ii was expected that MI Far
nell would speak in enswer to the charges mauo
against him by Mr.. Forster Yesterday. Many per-
sons were in the lobbies being unable to find room
in the House. The strangers gallery and the peers
gallery were filed. The seats of all the members
were reserved. The Prince of Wales was present IN
the
speech.
Mr.. ParneIl at the outset said that the utmost he
desired to do was to make his position clear to the
Irish people a. home and abroad Mr.. Forster. he
said ought to be ashamed for traducng him.
He declined TO reply to Mr.. Forsters questions ana
charged that gentleman with having asked MIN
(Ar. ParneD TO inform agains. his associates Mr'
Parnel said that he did not care TO impress MS
opinion on The House on England. If Mr. Fors-
1.Lo rtio n1ht tiShn
Uorld were likely to incite crime, why had he not
stopped the circulation Of that paperY DE com
p,red the responsibility of Mr.. Forster, who had
read the articles and believed what the result would
be. to that of himself, who had never read them
though they We're now brought against hm'
Mr.. Forster had unfairly singled out the name OF
Sheridan as mentioned In the kllmanham
treaty" negotiations. Why did he suppress the
names of Davitt, Egau and Bovton. who were
also mentioned likely to endeavOr to prevent
outrages in lreland3
MIR Oshea member from Glare, at this point ex-
claimed that Messrs Boyton. Egan aud Davltt were
mentioned TO Mr. Forster; whereupon Mr.. Forster
del led the assertion.
Mr. Parnel continuing his speech said that he
hal been challenged to defend himself but he had
nothing to defend himself from. He occupied a bet
ter position III the eyes Of the Irish than Mr. Forster
did in England. Mr. Forster was also guilty oil
suppressiO reri because the heading in The OHtted
Ireland, Incidents of the Campaign" over the
column recording outrages, ceased the moment Mr.
O'Brien editor OF that paper, was liberated from
prson Mr.. FOrster's unfairness was shocking.
His animus was due to the fact that he had at
tempted to obtain promise from him Mr. Par1elD,
but had failed to do so and had lost his office.
Mr.. Parnell also analvzed the evidence of Carey
at the caring of the Irish prisoners in Dublin,
which he said was not a statement of fact, but OF
Il hoI haan oil hy Tsn
regard, Mrs. Byrne The evidence IN reference to
the source of the murder fund.-" he said, rested
rnon the fact that some while IN prison had
received checks from the Sustentaion Fund OF the
Land League. Such aid had been given to thou'ands
of prisoners. As proof that the prisoners charged
with the Pbenix Park murders were not members
of the Land League. MIR. Parneil pointed out that
one of them had returned check which had been
sent to him from the SustentatIOn Fund, saying that
he had nothing to do with the League
In concluding his remarks Mr.. Parnell declared
that the present officials Ireland manifestly
unfit to administer the Grimes act Nr Forster
oueLt 10 return TO his cOngenlal work. Mr. Parnell
said he was hopeful thai Ireland would weather
this as she had weathered other formidable oppres-
sions He spoke for thirty-hve minutes
MR. TREvELYAN DEFENDS THE GOvERNMENT.
Mr. T1evelyan Chief secretary for Ireland IN re-
ply 70 Mr.. Parne proceeded to vndicate The
policy of the Government IN Ireland. Since the pres
ent Government there had been commissonedtO to sup
press crime the number of murders had been re-
duced from three monthly to one in the last four
ard half months The only policy for Ireland
was to say exactly what the Government
meant to do and then do it. tie regretted that
Mr. Parnen had not made his position clearer. Mr.
