| LONDON, June 3.-In the House of Com
mons this evening Sir Michasl Hicks Beach
| the Conservative leader, pressed Mr.. Glad
| stone to fix date for the division on the
| second reading of the home rule bill. Mr..
Labouchere vehemently protested against any

bers friendly to the bill desired to be heard
Mr.. Bradlaugh made; p similar remon-

as the date for the division.
In the debate on the home rule bill this
evening, John Morley, secretary for Ireland,
referring to proposal made by Sir Julian
Goldsmid, member for st. Pancras, that
members should arrive at an understanding
with reference to the home rule bill similar
to that obtained upon the seats bill, said he
would not object to this if the conditions
were favorable, but concensus of opinion
was first necessary. Did Mr.. Goldsmid, he
asked, think a modus -vivendi possible
with opposition advocating twenty

"Withdraw !'1 st will withdraw my express
sion concerning coercion if q single member
on the opposition benches will disavow Lord
Salisbury's speech" said Mr.. Morley. Mem
bers, he continued, had expressed their will
lingness to affirm the principle of home
rule and theu had decided to oppo Sc
the bill, thus defeating their own object.
ha arici no of
to-day is different, very different from that
of Daniel O'Connell's time, which Lord
Harrington referred to. There was no longer
the ascendancy of an alien church; landlords
were no longer in an absolute position and
the people were no longer serfs. There had
been much talk of ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
the empire and the dispersion of the Irish
across the seas. For many years there was a
real dismem berment in regard to local gov
eminent in Ireland which many members
of Parliament were disposed to grant. Lord
Salisbury in 1885 argued that it was impos-
sible to ignore the advantage of large CEN
trail authority. Ireland Mr.. Morley said
had had large experience in local authority
and instanced the fact that trials by jury were
as fair and impartial there as in England.
How could members talk of governing Ireland
when the whole people were against them!
Regarding the suggestion that Mr.. Parnell be
made chief secretary for Ireland Mr.. Morley
said that neither Mr.. Parnen nor any of his
colleagues would accept the Office. If they
did they would soon lose their influence in
the existing state of things. What they want
ed was to get hold upon those persons who
were DESTROYS of carrying on a regular and
orderly method of government. Had the
country spent upon Ireland half the money
and attention it had bestowed upon Egypt
and other foreign countries Ireland would
now be support to England instead of
taunt. We have taught Ireland to be men
dicant instead of selt-supporting by alter
nate bribe1 and subsidies and by fostering
the worst land system ever seen. It would
be absurd to compare Ireland to Scotland.
The government, Mr.. Morley said, had
chosen to proceed with a bill instead of
resolution because it felt that it ought to do
SO. 1t had never expected to carry the
scheme by rush. In conclusion he said:
Let not the opponents of the bill imagine
for a moment that by driving the
government from the stage the cur
tain will fall upon the final act of
the Irish question If the House refuses the
solution of the question now offered it may
rely upon it that no other unless constructed
upon the lines of this measure will carry the
solution of single effective stage furtherss
On motion of Mr.. Illingworth the debate was
adjourned.
