There was a stormy discussion in the House
of Commons last evening over the Govern
ments bill for the registration of voters in
Ireland. Mr.. John Philip Nolan, Liberal
Home Rule member for Cotifty Galway,
moved that the charges of such registration
be betrayed by the Government and not out
of local sales.
Mr.. Gladstone opposed the motion with
great warmth and drew gloomy picture of
the possible result of such action, which
would be certain to greatly augment the cN-
pense of carrying out the proposed measure.
Hon. Hugh c. Childcrs, Chancellor of
the EXchequer also opposed the motion, and
propQesed that its effect would be to add
$3.50 900 to the annual burden of the tax
payers.
Mr. Nolan made violent reply in sup
port of his motion, and claimed to have eX-
posed the onerous effect which the measure
would have upon the Irish people,
After lively running debate, In which
most of the Irish members took part. the
motion was adopted by vote of siXty-two
to six
Mr.. Gladstone then said that in view of
the result of the vote ii would be necessary
for the Government to consider their future
course in regard to he bill, and its further
discussion was dropped.

Governments defeat Of any great signif-
cance but it is believed that the Registra-
ton bill will not be brought forward again
at this session.
