tive, Gladstone explained he had never
mentioned abandoning the soudan after
the capture Of Khartoum. He had merely
said the evacuation Of the Soudan by
Egypt had formed the original policy Of
the English Government; that policy re-
manned unaltered, but recent events had
prevented It's immediate execution.
Sir John Lubbock, Liberal, resumed the
debate on Northcote's motion OF censure.
He said he would support the Government
in any measures necessary TO benefit
Egypt.
Mr.. Charles Strart Wortley, Conserya-
tive, said he thought the Government had
acted with the climax OF meanness toward
General Gordon. Redmond, Home Ruler,
opposed the Premier's motion, and was
seconded in his opposition by several Par

that the Speaker interferred, and when
silence was restored he announced that he
thought II was his duty to inform the
House that he thought the subject had
been adequately discussed. At this the
Parnellites nearly all Joined in a prolonge

when the vote had been recorded ordered |

0'Brien arose, Strengthened himselfup to |
his full height, and exclaiming with great
precision and sarcasm: Certainly, sir;
I will withdraw from the House with
more pleasure than i entered it" and
strobe out.
