LONDON, June s
Ninety-four liberals and radicals voted
against the home rule bill. There is intense
excitement throughout the whole country
over the outcome of the long Parliamentary
contest. The conservatives and whips are
everywhere making the day one of Jubilee,
ringing bells, lighting bonfires, firing cannon
aud singing God Save the Queen"
Dispatches from Ireland state that at Bel
fast, Londonderry, Armagh and other towns
the loyalists have been stoned during their
parades and demonstrations, but up to late
hour this afternoon no case OF fighting or
violence has been reported

will dissolve Parliament on the 2Sth inst
1t is expected that the elections will occupy
month and that the new House will assem-.
BILE in the second week of August. The re-
suit OF the division was telegrsphed to the
Queen the instant it was known. The large
ness of the majority against the bill caused
great astonishmsnt among the people.
An eyewitness describes Mr. Parnell upon
the floor of House of Commons last night as
follows: 'He was unusually pale. He COM
menced his speech nervously. The speech
forthwith assumed higher level and the
orator became very impressive. Every SEN
tence was formed with the greatest accuracy
to express certain shades of meaning. Par.
nell's face flushed with affection and pride
when he exclaimed, we cannot surrender a
single Irishmau.' The concluding appeal
for the peace and prosperity of suffering Ire
land was delivered in chord of tender and
genuine kindness. different from the great
Irish leaders usually cold and dispassionate
tone"
LONDON, June s.
The Cabinet today by a unanimous vote,
resolved to appeal to the country. They held
that by resigning they would only proong
and complice dispute which will be settled
by speedy dissolution of Parliament
Gladstone will send special messenger to
the Queen tonight with letter recommending
Her Majesty TO dissolve Parliament as the
only means to secure a stable government.
If the Queen does not exercise her prerogative
or summon Lord Harrington to form new
ministry, Gladstone, on Thursday, will ask The
House of Commons to proceed with the sup
ply bill, ard will indicate the Queens inten-
ton to dissolve Parliament at an early date.
The national-libersl federation has prepared
a manifesto to the electors of Great Britain.
1t adopts home rule as the liberal party plat
form in the coming election. The radical
dissidents will organize radical union W ith
headquarters in Birmingham. Their pro-
gramme will include a large extension of
local self government in England, Scotland,
Wales and Ireland, coupled with the supreme
control of all by the Imperial Parliament
The majority against the bill surprised the
unonists Several members went into the
opposition lobby. The crowd outside attempt
ed to mob Lord Harrington when he emerged
from the house after the division. |. is sup
posed Sir Wllfred Blunt was the intermediary
between Parneli and the Tories during the
last election and that he undoubtedly did lead
the Parneliites to believe that the conserva-
tves would introduce Home Rule bill
Eighty five Parnelltes voted with the gov
ernment, eighty sixth, Capt O'Shea, whom
Parnell insisted on having the league elect to
represent one divi0n of Galway, walked out
of the House and abstained from voting.
About II liberals refused to vote on the
division. The liberals who voted against
government are said to be almost identical
with those whose names were on the list pre-
pared before the recent Liberal meeting of
the foreign office. The only members who
were absent were Villers Qiberal), Milbank
(iiberaD, Grafton CliberaD and Mccartney
(conservative).
A conference of Chamberlain's followers
will probably be held Thursday and mani
festo will follow.
The wings have virtually decided to op-
pose Gladstone in Midlothian. The lists of
the government candidates has been almost
completed.
Gladstone has frequent telegraphic COM
munications with the Queen and has mailed
to her lengthy dispatches.
John Morley in speech at the Eighty
Club tonight said he was not aware when the
government would resign. He believed tnat
in spite of the defeat the home rule bill would
become a law very shortly. The constltu-
encies certainly would never consent to
coercion, which meant misery in Ireland and
disorder AT Westminster.
