| LONDON, June 3-It is probable that the
| Conservatives will tomorrow move in the
| House of Commoes that the cloture be ap-
| piled to the home rule debate in order to Sc
| cure division on the second reading before
| Whitsuntide. 1t is not likely that the gov
| arnment will oppose the motion.
| In the House of Commons this afternoon
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, the Conservative
leader, pressed Mr.. Gladstone to fix date
| for a division ON the second reading of the
| home rule bill.
Henry Labouchiere and Bradlaugh pro-
| tested against the fixing of an early date.
| Mr. Gladstone fixed Monday as the date for
division.
The debate on the home rule bill was re-
| sumed in the House of Commons today. MI,
| Morley said that the government had chosen
| to proceed with the home rule bill instead OF
a resolution affirming the principles, because
| it ought to be prepared with plan. 1t had
never expected to succeed by one blow or
| to carry the scheme by a rush. He was to
| vote for the principle of autonomous legisla-
tion for Ireland. Mr.. Morley concluded by
saying that the division about to be taken
would not be the end. The electoral CAM
| paign might not oe the end. loud cheers.)
''Let not the opponents of the BILL" he con-
| ment from the stage, the curtain falls
| on the last scene of the fifth and
| final act of the Irish question.
| If the House refused to accepted the olu
| tion now offered, it may rest assured that no
| other measure, ulesS based upon the lines OF
| this, will be carried single effective stage
| further cloud cheers.)
| The debate then adjourned.
LONDON, June S-The Times of this morn
| ing commenting on Mr.. Blaines Portland
| speech, says:
'Blaine mayor may not catch theIrish vote
| by performances such as that of Tuesdays
| speech and so win the prize which, fully as
much on personal as on political grounds has
| been snatched from him once and again; but
we refuse to believe that his ignorant and
| presumptious rant represents the honest, in
| dependent opinion and reflection of Ameri-
cans. 1t is peculiarly absurd that he should
| pose as the advocate of plan which he sup
poses, quite wrongly of course, would place
Ireland in the position of State Of the Amer
| lean union. He has been conspicuous for the
| same reasons which now make him a fiatter-
er of the Irish, in a bloody shirt campaign
against Southern State rights and if any
| Southern State should now attempt to de-
prive the Negroes of the suffrage, he would
be the first to favor the settlement of thai
local affair by armed interference of the cen
tral government. His history is almost on
par with his reasoning which deserves to be
placed with Sir William Vernon Harcourts
latest contribution, whereon Leelly has some
| thing to say
What Nj Lecky has to say is contained in
another column of the Times, in the form of
| letter. This is a criticism of Sir Williams
argument that the home rule proposed by
| Gladstone aimed at simply revival Of Hen
| ry Grattan's Irish Parliament. Mr.. Lecky
| says the argument is absurd. Grattan's Par
| lament, Mr.. Lecky ocntends, placed the gov
| ernment of Ireland in the hands of ProteS-
| tant gentry who were he says, bound to Eng
| lish connection by the closest ties of interest
and sentiment. They were adds Mr.. Lecky,
| pre-eminently the representatives of proper
| ty whose political power it has been Glad
| stones steady object to destroy. The effect
of his scheme would be to throw the govern
ment of Ireland into the hands Of men hith-

4 ST. Louis Opinion.
LONDON, June 3.-The Times publishes a
! letter from q correspondent at st. Louis who
| says 1t is a slander upon the American peo-
| pie to say that twenty millions or one million
| of them are ready to back the Irish in the
Home rule fight with either their money or
| their influence. The writer asserts without
| fear of contradiction that there are not 5000
citizens of the United States who ever con-
| tributed cent to the home rule funds. He
adds mo home rule sympathy has been
| shown by our greatest industrial class, the
| farmers. When you hear of public men do
| mating to the Irish cause remember that they
are either office holders or Office seekers with
| large Irish constituencies to please. The
| sentiment of the purely Irish element in our
cities psust not be mistaken for the sentiment
| of the American people. Nine-tenths of the
| leaders in the recent railway strikes in this
| country were Irish A firm determination
exists, If these labor agitatons carried on by
| foreign men continue, to form party of ma
| tive born Americans only, to see that none
but natives of this land obtain Offices of trust
or power"
Labouchere's Opinion.
Mr.. Labouchere writes to the London
| News of this morning: "The number of Lib
erals who are certain to oppose the second
reading Of the home rule bill is seventy
| Therefore if the bill is defeated it will be
through the wire pullers Of the Harrington
and Chamberlain combinations. Mr. Caine
| is equal to the occasion 1t was understood
| that the Hartingtonians would be excluded
| from the Chamberlain meeting As a mat
| ter of fact all the Objectors to the details Of
f1n hill hoxF ni hot cfa1
| with Mr.. GladstoneS concessions. Fifty-four
| members, however, attended the meeting
| Four of these favored the bill and twelve
| favored abstentiOn from voting. Deducting
q Hartingtonlans who were present, there
were sixteen opposed to voting against the
bill and sixteen in favor of opposing the
| measure. The net was spread and the birds
walked it. While deploring the result, L
cannot refrain from congratulating Mr.. Caine
| upon his skill hope these gentlemen will
escape from the tolls before it is too late
would suggest to the objectors to the details
Of the bill who have been hurried into pledges
and promises and who, realizing the trickery
| by which those promises were obtained. are
recovering independence of action of which
they boast, that they reserve their decision
| as to how they will vote until they have
heard Mr.. Gladstone define his position
at the end of the debate. AS it is, they pre-
judge the issue before he has spoken. Had
| he been persistent enemy of the Liberal
progress instead of the leader of that party
they could not treat him with more con-
tumely"
Surgeons Attitude.
| One hundred non-conformist ministers Of
| Derby and Nottingham have signed an ad-
dress of confidence in Mr.. Gladstones Irish
policy. Rev. Mr.. Spurgeon, one of the sign
| ers, has written a second letter, in which he
asks if it is impossible for those desirous for
the welfare of Ireland and the unity of the
| empire to devise more acceptable scheme.
81 cannot" says Mr.. Spurgeon, ''look for
| ward with complaceAey upon the possibility
of the Obstetrics being abandoned and of an
eestablished,Irish Catholic church. Yet these
are by no means the greatest evils we fore
see in the near future should the suggested
policy become a fact"
Panic in Panama.
PANAMA, June 3-A feeling of excitement
bordering ON actual alarm is felt at the de-
cree of the government which is to force into
circulation the immense amount of money
issued by the national bank of Bogota. These
notes, by order of the government, have been
put into circulation in other parts of the re-
public, but it is only now that Panama is
threatened with this issue and also with the
| issue of pesetas of 800 fine and in nickel.
The effect of this issue it is thought will sim
ply mean ruin to commerce already groaning
under heavy burdens, and misery to the gem
eral community. The taking of this IRE
deemable money is to be made compulsory
| and if this he enforced the merchants ond
