famous accusation made against me re-
garding the Irish conspiracy. l have to-
day invited an inquiry into the matter at
the hands of the British Embassy, and
have taken steps to ascertain the source

In the House of Commons to-day. Lord

Mr.. Trevelyan, Chief Secretary for Ire
land, in reply to VIM. O'Brien, member
for MallOw, stated that a short hand
writer had been present while the exam
inatiOn of witnesses was in progress aft
Dublin Castle. He said the witnesses
were not threatened, nor were thev prof
fered drink.
The House resumed debate on Mr.,
Gorsts amendment to the address in re-
ply to the Queens speech, declaring that.
III view OF the confession of the Irish as
sassins, no further concessions should be
made to lawless agitation.
James LoWther promised the COnserya-
tive support to vigorous policy toward
Ireland.
VIM. Forster defended his own course
previous to his resignation of the Chief
Secretaryship for Ireland. The preyen
ton OF crimes act, he said. was not ac-
cepted before the release of the suspects.
but he had advised it as urgent. But for
the Phoenix Park murderers Ireland
would have believed Parnell supreme.
and would before long have be-
come ungovernable, The recent dis
closures had increased the suspicion
that the Land League was connected
with the Outrages, The public expected
that Mr.. Parnell would have elucidated
this point, No mere disclaimer would be
sufficient. He charged Mr.. ParnelI with
heading. an organization which had
started an agitation that promoted out
RACES and melted to murder. ParnelI. he
said, had reaped advantages from the agi-
tatiOn, He did not plan the outrages.

charges against Parnell, quoting from that
gentleman's speeches in which he had
said that murder was necessary. He
said the WretcheS who committed the
Phoenix Park assassination had not acted
on the letter, but according to the spirit
of these speeches. Until Parnell expressed
regret and repentance he could not com
municate with him. The feeling is now
rising, even in Ireland, against the agita-
ton, and Parnell and his friends have
been unveiled and unmasked.
There were loud cries for Parnell, but
he did not move.
Mr.. ODOnnell, on attempting to inter-
pose during the speech, was ruled out of
order.
The Marquis of Harrington expressed
surprise at Mr.. Parnell's silence, which.
he said, was an admission that a prinad
fdcie case had been established against
the Irish leaders: The government, he de-
clared, had no intention of introducing
any measures for an extensive change
of policy with regard to Ireland that
would be likely to arouse strong party
feeling and absorb large portion of the
time of the House. Despite repeated
challenges of the government, he said the
opposition had formulated no direct specific
charges against them. He asked the House
whether, seeing there was general
agreement with regard to the policy of the
government, it would choose Mr.. GOrst's
amendment, which, if carried, would have
the effect Of removing the Ministry nom
office.
Sir Stafford NOrthcOte, Liberal Con-
servative, said the opposition would meet
the governments challenge, he would
state III what manner tomorrow.
Mr.. Parnell moved to adjourn the de-
bate, which was agreed to.
