LONDON, April l3.-Sir William Vernon
HRrrourt, Chancellor OF the Exchequer,
tonight resumed the debate on the Irish
bill in the House Of Commons. He be-
gan by saying that those who condemned
the governments measure failed to state
an acceptable alternative scheme, No.

Mr.. ohambsrlSin's project was in turn re-
pudiated by Lord Harrington and Mr.. Trev-

ed. IthRd been stated by Lord Hartng-
ton that what ever the fate Of this measure
was the mere introduction 0f ii by re-
sponsibls government would do much
that could never be recalled. That was
perfectly true; but it was equally true OF
the events Of last June. The ConseQu-
enCe Of those events could never be re-
called, Those events entirely changed
the whole aspect OF the Irish question.
The course then taken made Home Rule
inevitable, [Crles otoh, oh, and laughter,l
He did not want to speak In spirit
Of party reCrlminatlon, but that act OF
the late Government was condemnation
Of the policy OF Earl Spencer, 1t made
a return to the system ol Government Rd-
minlstered by Earl Spencer impraCtlCable.
Lord Spencer himself was OF that opinion.
[Irish Cheers.l The speaker taunted
the opponents Of this measure with
having no basis for an agreement on
the Irish policy. Did Mr.. GosChen, he
asked, approve Mr.. Chsmberlain's plan
for a central council at Dublin, or the
suspension of eyictlons? Had the Con-
servativo leaders any policy except con-
demnatlon Of Mr.. Gladstone's sChemeP
Lord Randolph ChurChill-Yes, they
are against repeal in any shape or form.
The Speaker retorted that that might
mean as much as Lord BeaConsheld'a de-
nunCiRtion Of the G5 franchise at the very
moment when he designed to carry
through a household suffrage measure.
Laughterl. Continuing, he said the
TACT was that there was no alternative 10
the plan OF the Government except the se-
verest coercion that would require strong
government, a government determined,
persistent in harmony with itself, sup
ported by an overwhelming majority In
Parliament and in the country. Such
government had been dreamed Of as re-
sulting from a truce Of party spirit aud
the end OF party warfare, but II was not
by the breaking up Of parties that strong
government could be formed.

ST, LOUIS, April 13,-The spprehended
strike Of the miners Of the st. Louis dis
trict Is still an event Of the future. 1t was
reported yesterday in Collinsvllle, ILL.,,
that the miners in that district had quit
work, but 1t was afterwards learned that
this was untrue. The minera OF that dis
trict met last night, together with the em:
ployes OF the zinc works and the press
brick works, and formed y thorough or.
ganizaton. Nothing was done pointing
IN the direction of strike, neither is therO
any immediate danger OF the men in the
Bellevlle district going out. A meeting
Of miners was held near West Bell0ville,
on Sunday, at which 1t was resolved not
to suspend operations at present. They
are disposed 10 continue work until May
|, and await the result Of the District Con-
yention to be held at Springfield on that
day. Coal was got out Gs usual at num-
ber Of mines in the vicinity Of Belleville
yesterday, but some mines were compelled
10 suspend operations temporarily, owing
10 the absence OF railroad facilities for get
ling their output to market. Representa-.
tive Knights OF Labor from slaunton Wis.

pose Of inducing miners to strike, but the
