LONDON, April 1.-THE debate last night
dragged over eight hours before Gladstone
rose. Harcourt kept the house in roars of
laughter, especially by the question whether
the skeleton at the liberal least should be al
lowed to settle the bill OF fare The rest OF the
speeches were very duh, Gaschen carrying on
a running fire with the Irish members He mad
prepared elaborate statistics and spoke with
much passion, but the speech fell rather fiat.
Joseph Arch, the agricultural laborer chal-
lenged, amid loud cheers, any tory member TO
go through the country with him addressing
the agricultural laborers, and declared he would
forfeit his existence if he did not receive the
support OF 80 per cent OF them. The Scotch
speakers assured the house that Goschen did

cockney accent. Hicks-Beach made what by
general consent was about the weakest speech
ever heard In the commons on great occasion.
