PARNELL PLEASED,
Although He Finds Some Fault With
the Measure.

At the conclusion of Mr.. Trevellyan's
speech Mr.. Parnell arose and was received
with cheers by the Irish members.
He congratulated Mr.. Trevellyan on having,
like the trench general who had unsuccess-
fully defended Paris, his own plan, q plan,
however, which did not seem TO awaken
much enthusiasm in the house. Mr.. Trev-
ellyan, he said, had stated why he had left the
government, but not why he had
resigned his post as chief secretary
lCheers from the Irish benches. Mr.. Par
nell then went on TO justify his past utter
anceS and actions, which had been impugned
by Mr. Trevelyan- Speaking of America and
the assassination literature which came from
America, Mr.. Parnell said that most of the
literature was neither American nor Irish
literature. If Mr.. Trevellyan were TO study
the literature OF America at this moment he
would find that sympaty for the just settle
ment OF the grievances OF Ireland by the
concession of domestic legislature is
shown by all classes, whether Irish
or native born American, and more
especially that native-borp Americans are
welcoming the efforts of Mr.. Gladstone, in
the belief that they will bring peace between
England and Ireland, and more especially
between Irish-Americans and England. 1t is
a remarkable fact that the great meetings,
now being held in favor of an Irish legisla-
ture, are mainly called together and organ
lied by native-born Americans, by editors
pers. We regard the fact that during the
last five or six months we have succeeded in
entirely gaining the sympathy of the two

the Democrats and the Republicans, as a good
omen for the future. Cheers. As TO the
bill before the house, while reserving his full
expression of opinion until he had seen the
bill, Mr.. Parnell congratulated the house on
the fact that there was still living an English
statesman who could devote attention to this
important matter, and begged to thank Mr..
Gladstone for what would not only prove a
beneficial move cheersl from the Irish
point of view, but which he (ParnelD
believed would be found to be of equal
benefit to England. The bill nevertheless
contained blots which the Irish representa-
tives would do their best to remove. One of
these was to be found in the financial pro-
poSals of the BILL which he regarded as very
unfavorable to Ireland, especially in regard
TO the Irish tribute TO the imperial exchequer.
He also complained of the proposition rela-
tive to the two orders intended to constitute
the Irish parliament on the ground that the
first order consisting of peers not subject to
the influence OF the popular vote would have
the power OF hanging up measures
demanded by the people and their
representatives for two or three
years. On the whole, however, apart from
these defects, he believed the measure wouI

and their representatives, as a satisfactor :,
solution of the long-stsndng dispute betwee
the two countries and as tending TO pros
perity and peace in Ireland and to satisfae
ton in England. (Cheers.)
On motion of Mr.. Chamberlain the de-
bate was adjourned. Sir VIM. HarcOurt.
previously stating that Mr.. Gladstone would
move tomorrow to give the debate prece-
dence on other matters. Mr.. Gladstone
left the house ten minutes after concluding
his speech. He was affected by the reaction
after the intense excitement of the day and
was obliged to retire to rest Immediately
after dinner. The cabinet has been sum-
moned 10 meet on Friday.
