MAJORITY OF 80.

Mr. Goshen Opens the Debate In OppO-
sItion TO the Messure-Parnen FOl-
lows in Patriotic Plea for His COun-
try-The Whole Country iu Suspense.
LONDON, June I, 6 p. NAT noon to-
5av 100 seats had been secured by batting
for the closing debate on the home rule
hill tonight. MIR. Chamberlain's reply to
MIR. Labouchere's appeal to him to alb
stain from voting tonight, in order to
save the principle of Mr.. Giadstone's bill,
has favorably affected the dissidents, who
now claim that they expect majority of
y against the bill. If the government
are defeated on the home rule bill to-
night. it is understood that the House of
Commons will be adjourned until Thurs
day next, and that the Cabinet will be
summoned to meet at noon tomorrow
TO decide upon the advisabilty Of cOun-
selling the Queen to dissolve Parliament.
GLADsToNE's ENTRY.
MIR. Gladstone entered the House OF
Commons at 4:55 O'Clock this evening,
and proceeded straight 20 his seat. When
mis- presence was noticed he was greeted
with tremendous cheering. The Premier
wore a white rose in his lapel. The House
nfCommons was crowded to its utmost ca
pacitv at the hOur'0f opening the session.
Mr. Gladstone, replying to a question on
the paper, said the government was unable
TO promise to incorporate measures for
home rule government in England, Wales
and Scotland in a revised Irish home rule
bill when it was brought in during the
autumn session in the event OF its passing
rs second reading now.
Jesse Ceilings has Withdrawn from the
National Liberal federation. He repu-
dates the principle of the Council OF Fed
Grafton of "abs0lute obedience to Mr..
Gladstone as the future standard of LID
sralism."
A FENIAN's WARNING.
The Fenian leader, ThOs Clarke Luby,
publishes a letter saying: "lf Mr.. Glad
stones home rule bill tails, so much the
worse for England. She Will be compelled
later on to cOncede home rule to Ireland,
and will then get no gratitude in return.
lreland's future is safe. The good feeling
Of the whole world and justice are on her
side. Personally have no objection to
see this strife between England and Ire
land honorably ended"
GREAT EXCITEMENT.
Ike political excitement throughout
England and particularly in London is
very great. Politicians of all parties are
much more vigol than has heretofore been
Witnessed.
large number of Tory aspirants for
seats in the House Of Commons are retlr-
ing IN favor of Liberal Unionist candidates
in districts where joint poll of the Con-
serVative vote with that of the anti-Glad-
stone Wings VIII probably secure the elec-
ton of u UniOnlst.
The opposition loudly cheered John
and ord HARRINGTON q fhpV On
tered and took their places.
The Parnellites were all in good voice
and gave Premier Gladstone a most en-
thusiastic welcome. Every inch of space
on the main floor as well as in the galle-
ries is occupied.
GoSCHEN RESUMES THE DEBATE.
LONDON, June :, 1880 P. M
Right Hon. George j. GOschen, Liberal,
resumed the debate on the home rule bill.
h said the bill was said to be a message
OF peace to Ireland, which the Premier
said weuld be torn to fragments forthwith
alter its second reading. The sovereignty
of the imperial Parliament depended on
clauses which il was highly probable the
majority of the House would never con-
sent to. Ii the bin passed a tremendous
struggle would be inaugurated by the
Catholic clergy of Ireland for control of
education in that country. Regarding
the question whether the bill wOuld prove
final settlement OF the Irish difficulty, or
lead to eventual separation, Mr.. Goschen
said he did not think it would prove a
anality.
DEPENDING ON ASSURANCES.
That would depend entirely on the as
surances given by the Irish members.
The Premier at one time was supposed to
have given a pledge to reconstruct the
bill, but he subsequently Indignantly re-
pudiated that assumption.
Mr.. Gladstone (interTupting THAT is
agross error. Whatthe gentleman thinks
looked like indignation was my eager re-
pudiation of cool statement that mad
resolved to reconstruct the bill.
Mr.. GOschen, resuming, said he saw
the distinction, but was unable to see
how the Premier could avoid the diti-
Guilty. The House was now informed that
the bill was not to be reconstructed.
Cries OF "Oh, OH" and cheers, amidst
which MIR. Gladstone repressed signs OF
dissent. Were the government going TO
stand by their bill or not? Loud Opposi-
ton cheers. This state of doubt came
from voting not on the bill, but on the eX-
plantations first given at the Foreign
OiIce and amplifed and explained away
on the Friday following. Further eXpla-
nations to answer were made on the en-
suing Monday.
THE RECONSTRUCTION BASIS.
1t had also been elected in various let
ters which had passed between the Pre-
mier and his followers that reconstruc-
ton Of tie bill was the basis on which
many OF the members would unite in
voting With the government on the meas
uIe, which every one admitted was the
most important ever submitted TO Parlia'
ment. The opponents Of the bill VIII have
achieved the result If the bill IS with
drawn after 10 passes its second reading,
u II passes that stage. The Premier is
now more anxious 10 learn from bis sup
lorters what they will authorize him to
give than he is 10 insist upon knowing
Mnat the Parnellites will accept. lCheers.l
MS tone is different.
PARNELL NOT DICTATOR.
1t had been shown that the British Par
lament was not inclined to consider the
iarnellites dictatOrs. Loud cheers.
During the recess" SAID Mr.. GOscben,

Vlclator In the coming session. ] think,
however, that Mr.. Parneli's followers Will
