BLAINEAND THE BRITISH.
THE PLUNIELESS KNIGHT STILL
CATCHING A TARTAR.

LONDON, June 4.-Eremler OlaQBJOneS
IN replying to Thomas Henry Bolton,
liberal member for North st. Pancras in
the House of Commons, this evening,
said: 81 hold it to be indisputable, in
deed elementary, that voting of the Sec
ond reading OF the home rule bill afirms
only the principle of the establishment
of an Irish legislative body to transact
business concerning purely Irish as
distinct from imperial affairs. The
government consider and hold themselves
free to accept any proposals which may
BE- submitted to them previous to the au-
tumn session consistent with the five
main conditions which they consider es-
sential to the solution of the question, in
Guiding Irish representatives at West
Minister TO take part in the
discussion and settlement of
are not only at liberty but they are in
duty bound to consider any such amend
ments."
This statement, IL was thought in the
lObbes of the House Of Commons tonight,
would cause number of waverers to de-
eide to vote for the bill and possibly Sc
cure it's second reading.
SALISBURY DENoUNCEs BLAINE.
Lord Salisbury, in the House of Lords
this afternoon, severely criticised Mr..
Blaine for his Portland speech. and MIR.
John Morley because of his attack on
some utterances attributed to the Marquis
which Mr.. Blaine denounced. Lord
Salisbury said he must denOunce the Ian
guage used by Mr.. Blaine, "who is can
vsssng for the exalted position of Presi-
dent of the United States" He COM
planned that Blaine misquoted him in
reference to his utterances respecting
Irish emigration, and added "It used to
be an admitted truth that assisting peo-
pie to emigrate from country where en-
ployment is scarce and wages are low to
another country where they can improve
their condition was doing IA beneficentact.
There was nothing in my suggestion ap-
preaching an insult to the Irish people.
do not mind Mr.. Blaine abusing me if
that will improve his prospects, but | do
hope that in future he will quote me cor
Tectly."
THE REPLY TO MORLEY.
Referring to that portion OF Mr.. Nor
ley's speech last evening in the House Of
Commons which contained a statement
that Lord Salisbury advocated twenty
years of coercion IN Ireland, Lord Sails
bury said he must demur 10 Mr.. MOrley's
twenty years Of coercion in Ireland. The
object of his speech was to show that the
application of the word ''coercion" to
measures which his government had re-
commended for Ireland was unequitable
and improper.
COERCION DEFINED.
Coercion meant legislation restraining
liberty and directed against political dis
affection. He had never recon mended
legislation in either direction. He desired
to legislate in she direction OF liberty and
u defend tue Innocent among the pOpula-
ton of Ireland against unlawful acts of
criminal societies. That had never until
now been called coercion.
The Earl OF Kimberly. Colonial Secre-
tary, re Piled to Lord Salisbury, aud said
he thought the language used by the
Marquis was justly capable of the con-
structiOn put upon it by both Messrs.
Blaine and Morley.
VERY HARD RAP.
The Pail Mall Gazette, commenting on
Mr.. Blaines correction Of the report of
his Portland speech, says: ut is quite
in accordance with Mr.. Blaine's charac-
ter to hurl insults ard then retract
them. Mr.. Blame is public man,
whose support is almost dscreditable.
tie is nov posing to gain the next nOmi-
nation of the Republican party. If he
succeeds, it is safe TO say that America
Will repeat the rebuff it gave him years
agOp
ALULL IN fHE EXCITEMENT.
There is a lull in the excitement of the
House OF Commons, but attempts to infu-
eace the dissentients continue to be
made. The Gladst0nians say that Mr..
Gladstone has prepared for Monday
statement which, if it will not influence
Mr.. Chamberlain. Will detract many Of
his supporters. The Wings declare that
the strength OF the dissentients is the same
as 1t was at the beginning OF the week.
IL is rum0red that an attempt will be
made to sheIve the bill by moving an ad-
)oucnment in order TO avert defeat Of the
government This indicates the
spirit of the Liberals, and the
prospects of dissolution, which
is becoming more distasteful TO both
sections. Endless devices are being
discussed to bring the matter 10 an ami
cable conclusion. The government relies
chlety upon this desire for reconciliation.
both parties are preparing night and day
lot an electoral struggle. fne COnserva-
ives and the Liberal Unionists have
asreed TO Interchange support where
we nome rulers threaten seats.
strong joint efforts will be made in Scot
ANA to capture the seats Of government
suppoFters. IL IS expected that the di-
visions will take place at O'Clock on
uesdsy morning. Mr.. Psrnell and Sir
Mlchael Hicks Beach will speak before
ment.
Mr. aoschen viii resume the home rule
day.
