LONDON. May 16.-The quarrel in tbs
CAbiast over the adyisabiIisy of renew
ing the Irish crimes act came to a head
iuis evening. A minority of the Minis
tiers, headed By Chamberlain President
of tbs Board of Trade, voted against
the enactment Of the act. This minori-
| ty was finally overborne, and the Gov
eminent have decided to propose a 70
neuaI for two years Of the act in its
| modified form. The ParneIlites are
this evening indignant az the Govern
meat for this decision. They have
| privately warned the Ministers that the
effect Of any attempt TO renew the act,
even IN greatly mitigated form, will
be the throwing Of the influence of the
Home Rale vote in the English constit
usnoies With tha opposition.
Ministerial arrangements have been
rsade 10 bring the present parliamentary
session 10 Gloss by she middle OF July,
at the furthest. In all likelihood this
| intention will be shvaEted by tue de-
/ termination of Parnell's followers to
resist the passage Of the renewal bill.

tactics. II the renewal bill be obiec-
| ti0nable TO his party. there can be no

/ a. 20 proloaQ the session uacomfost-
| ably. he may be able to extend the
session several weeks, and then tire out
she Government. GIadstoae's promises
| to give Ireland certain schemes for the
| extension Of local self government,
and 10 facilitate land purchases in Ire
land, have failed 10 soften Irish opposi-
ton 10 bis policy concerning the Irish
crimes act. they will accept nothing
snort of an abandonment of the whole
crinsss act. The approach of general
| alecaian campaign is bringing forward
uuexpssted political strength among
Brifisn workmen. They are eoneen-
truting everywhere upon labor candi-
dates for parliamentary seats. This Il

There can hardly be doubt shat the
reason that there are at present % few
