PARNELL'S LAND BILL REJECTED

PARNELL'S LAND BILL REJECTED
 cussiOn.
 LONDON, Sept. 21.-John Morley, resum- ing the debate on MT. ParnelPs bill, said he thought MT. Parnell had abundantly proved his case with regard to the fall of prices. He believed that the landlords would be making 8 grievous error in allowing the rejection of the bill and it would not take them long thereafter to discover their error. If it were true as alleged that the inability of the Irish tenants to pay rent was due to their exces- sive use of whiskey or their subscriptions to the National league it would be an easy matter to insert in the bill an amendment requiring the tenant to show satisfactory cause of his inability to pay. "What have the landlords to fear" said Mr. Morley, eff their case is just" The vicious land system in Ireland had prevented and still pre- vents the tenant-farmers from reaping the fruits of their industry and there could be no permanent peace, no return of pros perity there until the hardships which the farmers were compelled to bear were wholly removed.
 MT. Chaplin opposed the bill, declaring it the most impudent proposal ever submitted by the Parnellites.
 Lord Harrington said he regretted that he was unable to support MT. Glads tone's con- Gladstone had said that the time had arrived for full inquiry into the agrarian affairs of Ireland but. he said, the government was about to institute such an investigation and pending the inquiry MT. Gladstone was pre- pared to take action upon Mir. ParnelPs bill in way which last August he argued would be unfair. Parliament, Lord Harrington said, would incur great respon slbillty if it rejected the proposals of the government for the preservation of order and thereby encouraged socialist and communist ideas in the interest of a cer- tain class. He failed to see that any case had been made out to justify interference with judicial rents. The bill offered temptations to withhold half the rents and debarred land lords from obtaining their rightful dues. Since 1880 the position of the tenants in Ireland had been enormously improved and they now possessed every protection against eviction or other harsh action.
 Sir Michael Hicks-Beach announced the appointment of the royal commission to in quire into the working of the land act of 1881, of which Earl Cowper would act as chairman.
 Sir Michael Hicks Beach opposed the bill. Sir William Harcourt called the attention of the House to the fact that they had heard only one Birmingham member (Henry Mat thews) and said he would like to know what had become of the other six, including MT. Chamberlain. The voice of Birmingham, he said, should be heard on such important question as the one under discussion.
 Parnell's bill rejected by vote of 297 to 202. In the division upon the bill all of the Gladstoniau members supported the while the Liberal Unionists voted with the government.
