Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
LONDON, May 19.-Labouchere's speech In
the house of commons last night was certainly
the cleverest yet made in the home rule DEBATE
and created a great impression. He kept the
house in a roar OF laughter for half hour, hit
ting all round. With regard to Parnelrs pre-
vfous statements that he would be ultimately
satisfied with nothing short OF separation La
bouchere said IL was perfectly understood when
two countries or two parties were almost in
state of war one side always asked for a larger
concession than it was ready TO accept. He said
If the member for Cork (ParnelD had used ex-
ceedingly strong expressions he would prob
ably regret them. The tories cheered this
loudly, whereupon Labouchere added: "The
noble lord for Paddington (Churchil) probably
regretted two-thirds of his public utterances."
He said the opponents of the bill complained OF
its Details but the universal rule was the bet
ter "A constitution looked paper the worse it
proved in practice In all political matters the
presumption was against the upper classes
being right
HUMBUG ABOUT ULSTER.
His remarks about Ulster We're especially
effective He asked what was this Ulster? 1t
was kind of fraud. If they included Belfast,
the protestants were only ia small majority.
Even the Presbyterians of that province did
not wish TO be separated from the rest OF Ire
land. How many Orangemen were there in
Ulster? About 10000. Now these men were
steady, sensible, practical men Opposition

but once in a while they were seized with a sort
of erraticism. ILaughter.l From about the

The very same staggering boasts and threat

ask Mr.. Chamberlain whether he was going To
propose separation OF ali Ulster or only part OF
IL? In parts there was a Catholic majority, in
going to apply Ills proposal to the whole OF
Ulster, could anything more atrocious be con-
ceixed than large Catholic body being subject
to the rule OF such gentlemen as the Orange
body sent over here. Roars OF laughter Iol-
lowed this parody on the Uistermen's speeches.
LORD HARTINGToN's
speech last night at Bradford is regarded as clos
ing the door upon the hope of an arrangement.
The prevalent feeling is that the ministers must
stick 10 the bill, and, necessary, go 10 certain
defeat on the second reading. Various negoLi-
atiors have been going on, but although al one
time 1t was believed Harrington and Chamber
lain would both be brought into line ii the gov
eminent would accept an abstract resolution in
favor OF the home rule idea, this suisse
quently discovered TO be a delusion and Is now
abandoned. The strongest appeals are being
made TO John Bright to induce him To inter-
Nene.
THE SITUATION TODAY.
am i'm position to state that the following
is the exact situations: The dissenting liberals
are much alarmed at the prospect OF dissolu-
ton, when most probably they will lose their
seats. Therefore they are extremely anxious
that some method OF reconciliation be found by
which Gladstone can give up clause "a, which
excludes the Irish members rom Westminster.
But inside the cabinet joan Morley stands out
strongly Tor their exclusion, as do the Irish
themselves. LII this clause Is thrown overheard
without the Irish leaders consent, Morley VIII
resign. Gladstone Is thus corncred between
these several factors. The only chance 4, that
the Irish will that by asserting To eXcu-
sion they deprive themselves OF their only op-
portunity OF resisting the constant exercise of
the veto at Westminster Gladstone himself
is perfectly ready 10 yield this point.
John Bright has decided To speak after ali.
