OH lne tln lil5J., pliuSlOnc uOIHe |
rule bill came up for second reading
in the Commons, and after long
and exciting debate was defeated by |
n vote Of 81 to 34l. The Premier
made q long and exhaustive review
Of the bill and of the fallacies in the
arguments of its opponents. AT the
conclusion of his speech division
was taken, which resulted in the
defeat Of the motion for n second
reading. Gladstone seemed much
affected by the result and moved an
adjournment to Thursday next,
which was adopted. The excite
ment during the division has not
been paralleled in the history of the
House of Commons. Lord Ran
dolph Churchill first discovered that
the Government was defeated, and
by waving his hat and indulging in
joyful demonstrations aroused the
enthusiasm of the members of the
opposition, who, rising, waved their
hats and cheered again and again. :
When the fgures-3l1 for the mea-
sure and 341 against it-were an
nounced the noise was deafening.
A Parnellite challenged the vote.
O'Connor called for cheers for the
Grand Old Man, which were given
with gusto by the Government sup
porters. Sir William Harcourt and
his companions rose and bowed to
Gladstone, who was somewhat EN-
barrassed. The Parnelltes called
for groans for Chamberlain, which
were given, with shouts of "Trai-
tori! and "Judas Iscariot!" Cham
berlain merely laughed.
The scene was one of most intense
excitement, such as the oldest mem
bers cannot remember to have wit
messed before. Gladstone through
out the scene sat quiet. and com
posed, as though he had fully ex-
pected defeat as the inevitable first
step in long and arduous struggle,
and was perfectly prepared for a
renewal of the contest at the proper
moment.
There was the widest enthusiasm
among the Loyalists in the north of
Ireland over the defeat of the Home
. Rule bill. Rockets were sent up at
Coleraine, in the county of Lon
donderry, announcing the result
of the vote to the adjacent towns
and soon the news was known
throughout Ulster. Ten thousand
Loyalists paraded at Lurgan in
honor of their victory.
At Lurgan several militiamen
have been wounded, some houses
wrecked and several persons shot,
some being dangerously wounded.
One man named Thomas Gallagher
was shot dead. Troops have been
ordered from Armah to clear the
streets. Almost all the constables
were injured by stones or bricks.
Rioting prevailed in Belfast sew
eral days. Shots were fired and q
number of persons killed.
The Cabinet held q meeting or
the day following the defeat, and
by unanimous vote, resolved tc
appeal to the country. They helt
that by resigning they would only
prolong and complicate the acute
dispute which will be terminated by
a speedy of dissolution of Parlia
ment. Gladstone sent n specia
messenger to the Queen, with ;
letter recommending that Her Maj
esty dissolve Parliament, as TIN
only means to secure stable Gov
eminent.
In the Commons, ON the 10th
Gladstone, who was loudly cheeret
on rising, said that in consequence
of the rejection of the Home Rul
bill he had advised the Queen to dis
solve Parliament without delay
Her Majesty had graciously assent
ed to this, and he would therefor
ask the House to wind up the bust
ness of the session at the quickes
practicable moment. The Premier
statement was received with cheers
Mr.. Gladstone said that he wa
unable to positively inform tn
House at what date Parliament woul
be dissolved, but that it woul
. doubtless be before the end of tn
present month. Respecting tn
Government of Ireland, the Premie
said he thought the state of affair
in that country was such that TIL
new Parliament ought to meet 6
early as possible. The countr
ought not to remain in uncertaint
, after the general election regardin
the policy to be pursued regardin
Ireland.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach declare
that Mr.. Gladstone's statement W;
satisfactory.
o The Government has placed IL
district terrorized by mobs in I'll
Province of Ulster under marti
law.
