Tp,nuxr asked Henry Labouchere today what
were the prospects of the Home Rule bill.
SThe Irish bill is DEAL" he replied.
"What caused its death 7" he was asked.
"Well. frankly put, the question must be an
swered by saying tnat Mr.. Gladstone lost his tenn
ner on Friday night and allowed the Tory leader.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach. to draw him into an un-
fortunate ana indiscrcet contradiction OF his as
snrances given on the previous night at the Foreign
Onice. When taunted with changing his policy, he
t,shlv nSsted that he had not changed his poiicy'
Art that his bill when brought III at the next ses-
sion would practically lie tie same piii eAcep''"s
for the twenty fourth clause with Inc Dill ho"
before the House.
