House OF COMMONS LIBRARY, WEST
MINISTER, Sept. 11.-[New York Herald
Cable-Specal to the BEE. The public IN
terest in parliament is now centered, not so
much on the present prOceedings-than
which nothing more dull and wearsome
could be imagined-but on the probable
action regarding Parnelfs bill. Mr.. Glad
stone has been appealed to to return and take
part in the discussion, and understand he
has sent favorable reply. Consequently 1t
is certain that the debate will be animated.
The Parnellte cause is practically led by the
greatest tacticlan alive. This imparts con-
idence in that secticn and increases their de-
termination to give the new government Il
foretaste of the trouble in store next session,
when the real
TUG OF WAR COMMENCES.
Parnell's measure appeals to many who
oppose a separate parliament, its avowed OBJ
iect Mt least being calculated to excite wide
spread sympathy, namely; To alleviate the
inevitable distress and suffering of the APP
preaching winter. 1t brings leaseholders
under the operation of the land act, prohibits
eiectments on payment of the proportion of
the old rent decided by the courts, and
revivcs judicial rents. Two proposals out of
the three are in conflict with the principles
formerly solemnly enunciated by Gladstone,
but II Is thought probable he has changed his
opinion. The eviction clause is the only one
that can be called urgent. If strong proof is
produced of the necessity for action, it is
possible the government may consent, though
all appearances at present are against it.
Harrington returned apparently expressly
to consult with the ministry. Rumor says
he will
OPPOSE pARNELL's PROPOSALS.
Most likely he will wait to see what they
are before deciding. The reports about the
house on such points are worthless, most of
the members being as fond of idle gossip as
any number of old women. This bill will un-
doubtedly cause great disturbance among the
various parties into which the house is now
divided. The larger section of the radicals
will support the bill. The libera-unionists
generally, though L believe not ALL will OPP
pose it. Some few conservatives may hesi-
tate, and if Parnell succeeds in showing
fall in the value of Irish produce so great as
to cause distress requiring exceptional treat
ment, they may vote for him.
THE CONSERVATIVES IRRITATED.
But the fact is now palpable that the bulk
of the conservatives are irritated even at
Churchill conceding right for the discussion
of the bill. Although that irritation is absurd,
yet 1t must, to a certain extent, embarrass the
government. The conservative members
and their constituents are generally of the
opinion that further yielding to their de-
mands will do more harm than good, hence |
have heard bitter complaints of Churchilrs s
So-called weakness. 1t appears to me to- have
been the most statesmanlke act yet per-
formed. Stubborn refusal to even listen to
Parnelrs case could only lead to mischevous
results The moderate wing of the conserva-
tves desire to have Parnel's case judged on
its fair intrinsic merits, with the intention of
doing it justice. But pray recollect; in the
progress of the discussion, how much
THE GOVERNMENT Is HAMPERED
by irreconcilabes on both sides of the house,
rendering it certain beforehand that what
ever course is taken will give dire offensc.
In spite of this unreasonable discomfort mod
crate men admit that the conciliatory attitude
by Churchill adopted thus far was sagacious.
1t is ridiculous to see people complaining of
1t who a few weeks ago were denouncing
him as olcnttempered, hot-headed and de-
ficient in tact. The truth is, he exhibits 4
power of work, command of temper and
readiness of resource that surprise even those
who knew him best Dillon, Sexton and
Others have admitted, during the discussion
OF the past week, his fairness and good sense.
BITTER QUAIREIs MUST COME,
but 1t is surely wise to defer them to as late a
date as possible. The Gladstonians will
return for the Parnell bill, but all have fled
for the moment and the front opposition
bench was ornamented by only one man
last night, q subordinate In the late govern
ment Parnell hovered about continually,
leading, as | supposed, the ''mischief in the
air." But his only object in staying was to
move the first reading of his bill. This lie
could not do till tho supply was over. be-
tween and2.
HfJ WHERE THE IRISH MEET.
a committee room upstairs is left con-
stantly open for the special use of Irish
members, and lamps arc always ready. 1t
Is the only room in the building so furnished.
To this apartment Parnel and his friends
can always repair for consultation. There is
seldom large meeting called. -Four or five
meet quietly to plan their campaign. One OF
the ablest of the nulHber is Mccarthy, who
goes to You and will be much missed here
lie has eycrybody's good will and respect.
We expect guns will be brought into action
on Monday week Ii tho supply is finished.
The government Is in6isposed to give night
till the money is voted Perhaps tho Par
ncllites viii fight over this. If so. nothing
will be accomplished, except that they may
drive Churchill into The arms of the oppo.
nents OF ell concessions In any case,
TIRE BILL CANNOT PASS
in its present shape. The Parnellites know
il, but hope for a compromise. Uutil theil
facts and arguments are fully disclosed, 1t is
impossible to foretell the final decision. A
better feeling for the moment prevails be-
tween the cOntenalng armies. No more free
fights arc threatened, nobody Is called a
''liar," the speaker is not pulled ont of hi:
chair. Everybody is
A LITTLE ASHAMED
of the scenes Of the previous week. The
work of voting supplies Is not calculated tC
