parties for the postponement until Friday
of all questions which were 10 have been
brought up In the house of commons to-
morrow, except those of the most pressing
Importance. BY thus curtailing the busi-
ness of the house Mr.. Gladstone will be
enabled 10 begin his speech in explanation
OF his Irish home-Tule scheme at about 4:3O
in the aftemOOd. The usual body of police
stationed about the parliament buildings
will be strongly reinforced to suppress any
demonstration that may be attempted out
side of the building. Irishmen living In
London have been requested TO assemble
tomorrow To cheer Mr.. Gladstone as he
enters parliament A similar Liberal
manifestation is expected. Urgent
whips have been issued urging
the presence of all members
In the house of commons tomorrow and
Friday. The house will be opened at 8 a.
m. Tomorrow To enable members to secure
seats. The opening OF the house at so
early an hour is commented upon adversely
on the ground that 1t places premium on
physical endorsement and handcaps invalid
and weaker members.
THE PARNELIITEs
at meeting to-day decided 10 enter the
house at the earliest possible hour IN order
10 secure seats. The Scotch members of
the house of commons had meeting this
afternoon TO receive deputatiOn of Pres
byterians from Ulster. who came TO enter
their protest against the granting of home
rule to Ireland. Sir Donald Currie, Lib
eral member for West Berkshire, presided
over the meeting. The moderator of the
Presbyterian church in Ireland, who led
the deputation. explained the rea-
sons for the visit. He said
the Presbyterians In Ulster were in
deep anxiety lest parliament should adopt
legislation which would place the Protest
ant minority in Ireland at great disad-
vantage by handing over the control of af-
fairs of the country to party dstinctiyely
anti-ProteStant The deputatiOn spoke i'm
the Kindliest terms of their Catholic
brethren in Ireland. but said they feared
that the good relations would be disturbed
under the new order of things which it was
understood the leaders of the government
intended to inaugurate. Eight thousand
ladies of Cork county have sent a petition
10 the queen against home rule. One
thousand of the signerS are Catholics.

order TO secure seats in the house for to-
morrow. 1t is reported that Mr.. Gladstone
has informed Lord Huntington and Mr..
Parnell of the leading features of his Irish
scheme. Mr.. Parnell, it is said. approves
the plan. His approval. however. is subject
TO a modification of the details. Lord
Huntington is averse 10 a division on the
first reading of the bill. The Standard adj
mils that the Conservatives are powerleSs.
without the assistance of Lord Huntington,
and that an attempt at isolated Con-
sentative action would result i'm a
victory for Mr.. Gladstone. The Liberals
believe that they will be able 10 carry
the measure through its second reading and
that the real danger will arise in committee.
There is TumOr. that the bill as modified
will meet with less opposition from Mr..
Chamberlain. Special arrangements have
been made for reporting and telegraphing
the speech. An extra writing room has
been prepared. The queen invited Mr..
Gladstone last Wednesday. and again on
Saturday. to dine at Windsor. but the
premier was too busy. and was compelled
to decline both invitations.
The Polish Bill Passed.
