.vsrv probability of the prolongation OF the un-

have been engaged all the week. Lord Randoipn

then in the air. Lord Randolph Churchill knew
very well that he had no power to bring the DEBATE

Churchill that the debate should close. 1t vas long
enough to lead Mr.. Illingworth and his rather
motley caucus into hole, out Of which they have
since had to scramble. They believed that Mr.
p.rnell really meant to play the old game of OBJ
strnction and rushed in to take hand in it. But
amid all the heat and irritation of this weeks pro-
ceedings Mr. Parnell kept his head.
Serious Liberals in the meantime had already
taken warning. Mr.. Morley is not the man to
acduiesce in the politics of petulance. Mr. Glad
stone perhaps telegraphed from Munich hint to
his lieutenant. So when Mr.. Dillon had sat down,
Sir William Harcourt, who is capable OF playing
many parts gravely said that he could not support
the Parnel amendment. lie agreed with MIR. Dill
Ions view of the danger of leaving the question
open for five months to come. but declared that the
minority could not compel the Government to bring
in good measures This convinced Mr. Parnel If
he needed convincing, that the moment bad come
for his effort.
In very brief, but very weighty speech, Mr. Par
nell once more held out the olive branch to Lord
Randolph Churchill. He knew, he said, when to
obstruct and when not to obtruct. but the present
condition of Ireland was serious and the pros
poets for the winter were alarming that he felt
that an attempt to introduce remedial legislation
ought TO be made. The Government had refused to
make it. He proposed. therefore, to make 1T him.

its object, first, to include leaseholders in the
Land Act secondly, to empower tenants to apply
to the courts for revision of the present judicial
rents; thirdly, to enable the courts to suspend
proceedings in eiectment where tenants pay three
fourths OF the rent due. lie asked the Government
to allow this bill to be introduced.
Lord Randolph Churchill this time grasped
readily the olive branch. lie said that he could
not hold out the slightest expectation that the Gov
ernment would support such a measure, but he
would give Mr. Parnell the facilities he asked for
introducing and describing the bill on the under
standing that there should be no obstruction on the
estimates. Mr.. Morley agreed for the Liberals. and
so the matter settled to the general 10Y of the
House. This is believed to ensure the close of the
session duunp the nresent month
The state OF things before this happy consum-
nation was reached growing steadily more
intoerable Such compliments as renegade"
liar" and jal-bird" had been freely banded
back and forth in the House. The Speaker was
constantly interposing. He rebuked offenders with
strict impartiality, but London evening paper
thought fit to suggest that he was himself acting
from irritation. Mr. Sections Belfast amendment
had fallen fiat. Every effort to draw Lord Ran
dolph Churchill failed. Finally Mr. Labouch ere
last night tried his hand accusing the leader of the
House of cynical wckedness in having melted
Ulster to revolt Lord Randolph Churchill rose
but instead of defending himself quietly told Mr.
Labouehere that he vas the laughing stock of Par
Lament and the public, and that he knew better
than anybody else the preposterous childishness OF
the accusations he brought Lord Randolph
Churchill SAT down amid cheers Major Saupdor-
sons attempt to make capital OUT of the pamnbiet
charges of perjury and Feniansm against the Par
nellites was summariy suppressed by his own
leader. Mr.. Laboucheres amendment was rejected
by the nsua majority. The way now seems clear
for business
Lord Randolph Churchill on the whole has cot
well through his apprenticeship as leader He made
inevitable mistakes at the beginning was at times
nervous and impatient, perhaps once or twice ar
bltrary. but ended by showing tact, diplomatic
