Bill.
LONDON. Sept. 21.-Lord Randolph
Churchill. in the house of commons this
afternoon, replying to questions, said that
in the event of troubles arising in Bulgaria,
which he did not apprehend, however, the
British government would act constltu-
tiOnally and advise the crown to act as In
their opinion would be the best calculated
to protect the interest OF the empire. MI.
John Morley resumed the debate on the
second reading of the Parnell land bill.
Mr. Morley contended that the bill provided
better machinery and better method OF
answering the governments own question
as to the necessity of relieving the irish
tenantry in some form than the appoint
ment of royal commission He also De
leved that the landlords of Ireland, and not
for the first time in their history, were
making a grievous mistake in allowing the
bill to be rejected. Irish cheers. Sir
Michael Hicks Beach stated that the gov
eminent commission to inquire into the
working of the land act of 1881 would con-
sist of: Earl Cowper, chairman. Earl
Midtown, Sir James Cavid, Judge O'Hagan
and George Foltrell.
Morley, continuing. said he regretted that
Matthews in his first speech had not offered
hopes of Cancellation. Generally, he ad-
United there had been a heavy fall in prices
since the judicial rents were liked. The
onus probandi. inability TO pay rent, de-
VOWED upon the tenants. If the proposed
deposit of so per cent is too small. the
government could propose to raise the
amount in committee. Cheers If it is
true that the inability of the tenants IS
due to
THE EXCESSIVE USE OF WHISKY,
or subscriptions to the league be the case,
insert an amendment requiring the tenant
to show satisfactory cause of his inability
to pay rent, rendering dishonesty mpOssl-
bic. What had landlords to fear ii their
cause was just. Cheers The vicious
land system in Ireland prevented the ten
ants from reaping the fruits OF their lndlis-
try, He would vote for Parnells bill be-
cause he believed it would create smooth,
calm interval between the sessions and ena-
Bile them TO consider the Irish question
generally. Lord Harrington made speech
opposing the bill.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach said he thought
there was certain want OF reality ABOUT
the discussion. He was puzzled to account
for
THE SILENCE OF THE PARNELLITES.
He contended that they could not believe
that the case for the bill had been made out.
Did they think the bill had any chance OF
passing? He was afraid the reason for
their action was that the bill was simply a
measure to enable the Separatist party to
attack the government, who were acting in
accordance with all previous declarations in
declining to consent to a second reading OF
the bill. He declared that the bill, if
passed. would not be received in the south
and west of Ireland as temporary meas
ure. 1t would permanently upset the set
Element effected by the land act of 1851.
Nothing had been said about the fall OF
prices until the rejection of the home rule
BILL Prices were rising at the present mo-
ment The statistics regarding evictions
were misleading The increase in the
number of evictiOns was no proof of the in
ability of tenant to pay rents. He be-
lieved the total number of evictions in 1885
did not exceed in 2, 000 tenants. There
was no scope for ali inquiry into the whole
matter. Upon the announcement of re-
suit of the royal commissions inquiry
the government would submit proposals to
the house during the next session. The
position of affairs in Ireland was such that
the government might be obliged to ask
parliament to deal with the question earlier
than usual. cheers] but the government
would not buy peace by doing
Injustice by blackmai. In conclusion
he said the discussion of Parhells propos-
ais was an act of gross injustice to the
Irish landlords. Sir William Vernon Har
court said he thought the house and coun-
try would notice the
ALARMING TONE OF DEFIANCE
and menace with which the chief secretary
for Ireland embarked on his mission of
peace. Lord Harrington, continued the
speaker, was alone tonight like the last
rose of summer. Laughter. Where
were his companions? Where was Cham
berlain The house had heard one Biz
mingham member (Matthews). where were
the other six members? Laughter and
cheers. Upon this great and critical
question what was the voice Of Birming
ham? Why had she spoken with only one
voice and that through a Tory minister?
[Cheers and counter cheers. The Liberal
union did not seem to be much Of Liberal
union after all. The Liberal party would
follow its old policy and do what it could to
avert the great dangers which the policy of
the government threatened.
All the Gladstohians supported the Par
nellites. The UniOnists voted with the
government. The bill was rejected by
vote of 297tO 202.
