THE IRISH QUESTION.
Debate on Mr.. Glsdstonss Measure Drawing to
Close.
TACTICS STILL FOR DELAY.
Remarkable Collection Of Rare China Brought
to the Hammer.

viction for Bribery-De Lesseps Pro-

Report on the Panama Canal

LONDON, May 2S.-The debate begins to,
pail on listeners and speakers alike. The
number of members who don't return after
dinner increases, and it is difficult to keep
full house, except when a Nationalist is
speaking. Members are then sure that some
thing new or amusing will be said. Tim
Sullivan, the Mayor of Dublin, kept the jaded
house in roars on Tuesday night Dillon
also secured an attentive audience for Par
nell by his hits at the Orangemen on Thurs
day on a mere private bill, and afforded
another proof of his variety and freshness.
The arms bill brought out slashing speech
from T. P. O'Connor, and finally Justin Nc
Carthy wound up the work brilliantly for
his side on resuming the main debate on Fri
day. His argument was delivered in his
usual quiet, silvery style, with soft, in
gratiating voice Mccarthy sometimes wins
back a waverer, but never gives offense in the
House and is, therefore, the most useful
man of the party after Parnell himself.
A bombshell was thrown the other day by
the willy hand of Gladstone among the seces-
sionists. While boasting of their approach
ing victory the ominous words, "a speedy
dissolution" were whispered, and fell like
the crack of doom on their startled ears.
There were heard on all sides agitated muir
murs and anxious inquiries; How can we
get back under the old mans umbrella~
at the same moment the caucus screw was
ruthleSsly applied. and no wonder that sew
eral waverers under the double action OF both
instruments of torture announced their re-
pentance.
An immense pressure is now put on Glad
stone to withdraw both bills and introduce a
resolution affirming the broad principle of
Home Rule for Ireland. A large body of
Liberals are confident he will yield, but
there is no chance of such a result.
The late Lord Dudley is said to have occa-
sionally imagined himself teapot" but
his china mania took other forms. He spent
fabulous sums on rare Sevres, and his old
Chelsea was famous.
The announcement that the marvels OF the
Dudley porcelain collection would be brought
to the hammer caused fiutter in fashiona-
bic London. and half the aristocracy and the
peersge might have been seen at the private
view in Christie IL Manson's rooms.
Yesterday when the doors of the sales
rooms opened there was a rush for seats and
in few seconds every inch of sitting and
standing room was occupied. At o'clock
precisely Mr.. Christie assembled the rostrum.
The catalogue included 203 numbers, among
the chief attractions being four old Chelsea
vases for which Lord Dudley paid a trihe
of $40, 600, several wonderful Sevres services
and few fine specimens of old enamelled
crystal work from the Demidoff collection.
The most remarkable pieces in the Dudley
collection was the famous Rose du Barry
''vaisseau a mat" and side vases-not IN the
list, having, understand, been privately Sc
cured by Lord Rothschild.
Half dozen of the most valuable pieces
| in the catalogue, notably pair of rare apple
green Sevres vases, with covers and stands,
forming jardiniere, were bought in for the
Dudlpv family a fancy DricpS
Much interest is shown here about the
New York Alderman sentenced for official
bribery, a crime which is scarcely known in
| this country.
Much of the Judges sentencing address
was cabled too late for comments in the
morning press, but the evening papers have
! leaders, and in the course of one ii is said:
"The eulogy which Judge Barrett passed
upon American institutions, in sentencing
the peccant Alderman, was full of sound
doctrine. 1t is when the majority of the
people have their price that the State is
corrupt, not when few officials condescend
| to take bribes."
The Gladstone Committee is making a
| final effort to conciliate the Radical dissent
ers. The committee has made overtures to
Mr.. Chamberlain, promising that il he alb
stains from voting against the Home Rule
bill the measure will be dropped after the
second reading, and that the Government
| supremacy of the Imperial Parliament aud
| promising adequate protection to the Irish
minority. Mr.. Cbamberlain's acceptance Of
| the offer depends upon Mr.. Gladstone giving
guarantees that this course will be followed.
| The Radical Workingmens Clubs OF London
are organizing a demonstration in Hyde
| Park in favor of the Home Rule bill.
Prime Minister Tricoupis has telegraphed
to the General in command OF the Greek
forces instructiDg him to endeavor to arrange
an armIstice. The latter has evidently been
unable to comply with his instructions, ow-
ing probably to the difficulty of securing an
interview with Eyub Pasha, the Turkish
Commander.
The Greek Cabinet is in session at Athens,
and great excitement prevails in the capital.
A demonstration of Radical workingmen
was held in East London to-day. Speeches
were delivered from four platforms. Resolu-
tions were adopted favoring the Home Rule
bill, expressing confidence in Mr.. Gladstone,
| and favoring the dissolution of Parliament
| if the Home Rule bill be rejected.
! Mr.. labouchere writes TO the Daily News
! that there is not single Whig, Liberal or
| Radical who has announced his intention TO
vote against Mr.. Gladstone's DILL whose ac-
ton has been indorsed by portion of his
constituents who sent HIM to Parliament.
Not one even pretends to be acting in har-
mony with his electors. 1t can not possibly
be said that the Liberals as party are op-
posed to the bill or are disunited because a
certain number of commoners decline TO act
as representatives OF their electors and APP
peal to the Conservatives to support them in
| the coming election. Under the circum-
stances approvers OF the bill should realize
that they are not justified in asking conces-
/ sions. which, if made, would not be granted
to a section of the Liberals, but to gentlemen
in antagonism with their party, Mr.. Glad
stone and their own electors.
Mr.. Labouchere estimates that forty liberal
seceders are in favor of the principles of the
bill, but from the influence of the Chamber
lain clique, fear to meet Mr.. Gladstone
| frankly and falrlT half way in an endeavor
TO remove objections. He urges them to act
for themselves instead of submitting To
/ those who desire to overthrow Mr.. Glad
stone. He believes that method can easily
be found to enable them to vote for 9 second
reading without sacrificing their convic-
tions,
