FIERY IRISH 0RATORY.
EVEN A GAS BILL PROVOKES
HEATED PASSAGES.

LONDON, May 20.-Gen. Sir Frederick
Ponsonby, the Queens private secretary,
delivered to Mr.. Gladstone to-day long
message from the Queen.
The Pail Mall Gazette says that Mr..
Chamberlain by his curt refusal to enter
tain indirect overtures from Mr.. Glad
stone through Baron Herschell, Lord
High Chancellor, has closed the door to
any chance OF reconciliation between
himself and Mr.. Gladstone.
THE DUNDALK GAS BILL,
The House of Commons this evening
after heated debate rejected by a vote Of
2lO to 1863 the Dundalk gas bill. AS elabor-
| ated by the committee, which consisted
OF four English members. the bill in
creased the powers of the private gas
company, whereas the municipal authori-
ties wish TO take the task Of lighting the
| town into their own hands in order to be
as economical as possible. In the course
of the debate Mr.. Sexton said that the
| Irish private business ought to be sus-
pended until the home rule question had
been settled, and that at any rate the bill
under consideration ought to be dealt
| with by committee Of lrishmen instead
of Englishmen.
Lord John Manners. Conservative, said
which business would be conducted in
the Irish Parliament.
Mr.. Dillon retorteG that the Irish Par
lament would at least be composed Of
members who knew where Dundalk is sit
uated.
THE BILLS SUPPORTERS.
The bill was supported by the Conser-
vatives, and by Leonard II. Courtney, Lib
eral, while Messrs. Gladstone, Childers
/ nsRA - el A .s-A. II Al.
| Parnellites opposed the measure. The
| announcement OF the result was received
with loud cheers by the Irish members.
John Morley, Chief Secretary for Ireland,
moved for a second reading of the arms
act. He explained that the act was in-
tended to restrict the possessing. carry
ing and importing OF arms. Nobody in
the proclaimed district could carry arms
without a license. Although cases OF
outrage had greatly diminished In num-
Der since 1881, it was necessary to pro-
long the act OF that year in view Of the
| present excited state of party feeling in
the north of Ireland. No act could prevent
| the commission of deliberately plaAned
murder. The true use of the act was to
prevent the growth of tue practice of car
| rying arms on occasions of fairs, markets,
pr0cessIons and other gatherings. In
conclusion, he asked all lovers of order TO
| support the measure.
PARNELL COMPLAINS.
Mr.. Parnell complained that the powers
of the act had been iuluriously used in
two odirections-frst. to harrass and annoy
the NatiOnaIists, and second to deprive
| farmers of guns intended for soaring
birds away from the growing crops. Con
servatfve laughter. He urged that the
act be applied impartially IN disarming
| Orangemen as well as Nationalists.
| Cheers.l The Orangemen had shown by
| the acts and by the utterances of their
leaders that they were disposed to
slaughter, or to attempt to slaughter.
those who differed from them In political
opinion, Irish cheers. He would not say
that Lord Salisbury, Lord Randolph
Churchill, and Mr.. Chamberlain really
intended to promote murder, but their
words would certainly have no other
effect.
Mr.. Bradlaugh condemned Lord
ChurchilPs speeches in Ulster as danger
Gus and reasonable.
CHURCHILL REPUDIATEs THE INsINUA-
TION.
Lord Randolph Churchill repudiated the
insinuation that he had incited the people
OF Ulster to murder. He had merely
pointed out that the placing Of the Ulster
ties In the power Of a Dublin Parliament
must result In civil war. He quoted
speeches OF Md. Gladstone and Sir Henry
james in an effort to prove that the Deo-
pie were justified in refusin gto submit to
a transfer of authority from an efficient to
an inefncient government.
The arms act finally passed its second
reading by vote OF 303 to 80.
The government whips" report that
220 Liberals are pledged to vote for the
home rule bill with S6 Parnellites, aud
that the number ofsupporters is increas-
ing daily. They now count upon carry
ing the bill by majority OF 10.
CAMPAIGN PLANS.
The Conservative National Union is
preparing for an organized election cam
| paign. The union has planned TO divide
England into nine districts with a sala-
| rle1 head and sub-aRents for each district
and will support Liberal y nlonists where
the Conservatives have no chance Of cleo
tlon. The Liberal Unionist Committee
has sent agents to the provinces to Op-
| crate against the local Liberal caucuses
that favor Mr.. Gladstone. The agents are
empowered TO promise the Liberal Union
ist candidates funds with which 10 carry
on the election contest. In consequence
OF the action OF the Central Liberal Asso-
citation in melting local cauGuses 10
threaten Liberal malcontcnts, "a meeting
was held in the committee room OF the
| House OF Commons to-day. Mr. Chamber
| lain presided. Thirty-fOur members were
present. 10 was decided 10 treat threats
as personal insult requiring the inter-
vention OF Parliament and public expos
ure. The proposal that Mr.. Chamberlain
and his followers should join the Unionlst
committee was negatiyed on the ground
that there was still a prospect Of recon-
ciliatiOn with the government, and that
IL would be too impOlitic for the Radical
dissenters TO assume an attitude OF ir-
reconcilable hostility TO Mr.. Gladstone.
