PARNELL SPEAKS IN COMMONS

1 PARNELL SPEAKS IN COMMONS I'm Support of His Amendment to The Address In Reply to the Queens | Speech.
 l LONDON, Aug. A.-In the House of Com mons this evening MT. Parnell spoke in sup port of his proposed amendment to the ad-
 dress in reply to the Queens speech. The amendment expresses the fear that tenant farmers in Ireland will experience great diff fculty in paying rents during the winter and numerous evictions will follow, causing widespread and social disorder. It depre- cates any attempt to transfer the loss due to inability to pay rents from the owners of land to the taxpayers of Great Britain and Ireland by an extension of State assisted purchase on the basis of rents fixed when prices were higher than they are now. MT. Parnell said that the people of Ireland had every reason to be satisfied with the progress
 which had brought them to their present
 position. With majority of the Liberals
 favoring autonomy patience would make
 theirs 8 winning card. He admitted that the
 rent question would probably be source of
 trouble. Mir. Gladstone's purchase system
 would have safely settled the land question
 and without settlement it would be impos-
 sible to settle the Irish question. The gov
 ernment must reduce the rent at the ex-
 pense of the landlords or of the taxpayers of
 the kingdom. MT. Parnell argued that the
 way to develop the resources of Ireland was
 to allow the Irish themselves to develop
 them. He accused the government of en-
 couraging the landlords to make wholesale
 evictions, knowing that agrarian crimes al-
 ways followed evictions. The Irish, he said,
 would try to be patient, but the exactions
 by landlords of impossible rents might pro-
 duce exasperation. The landlords would then clamor for coercion, which would come, and which would not stop at criminals, but would attack political opponents. MT. Par nell suggested as an alleviation of the situa- tion that judicial tenancies be fixed at three years instead of fifteen years and that rents be revised. He concluded by expressing his belief that the Irish people would never sub l init to government not their own.
 Mr. Gladstone said the government had l taken an unusual course by going outside of | the speech from the throne. He intimated | that he would take no part upon the division | on the amendment to the address | offered by the Parnellite members be- | cause he deprecated any attempt to force a definite as well as premature ex- pression of opinion upon the policy which | government had foreshadowed for it's future guidance. He thought the policy of the l government very complex one. The gov ernment evidently intended to introduce a large scheme of land purchase. Was the tenant to be treated upon the real rentable value of his holdings and the landlord upon the basis of the judicial rent and was the State to make up the difference? No parlia- ment could ever execute such fatal propo sition.
 The Unionists issued whip this evening against the Pal nellite amendment to the address in reply to the Gus sn's speech. MT. Chamberlain will move the adjournment of the debate to-mol row, thus securing the floor for the opening of the discussion on Thursday, when he will offer a motion for | division upon the Parneliite amendment. | MT. Gladstone will start for Munich to-mor- | row for three weeks holdiday. He hes ar ranged to return at moments notice.
