Home Rule.

LoSDos, April 9. : Newspapers
throughout Great Britain and Ireland
comment at great length On Mr.. Glad
stones scheme for Irish government.
The Liverpool P5st says that whether
Gladstone is successful or not in carry
ing his bill through Parliament, he has
surely killed the opposition and coercion
in Ireland.
The Manchester Guardian says: 1T
IS a scheme substantially for the repeal
OF the legislative union between Great
Britain and Ireland. A representation
o. Ireland at Westminster must be re
tanned. Then with this modification
the measure may pass"
The Newcastle Journal declares the
scheme TO be cumbersome and unwork-
able, and certain TO be rejected.
The Newcastle Chronicle says: Though
the measure may admit of improvement
in detail, il is the best scheme even pre-
sented in Parliament"
The Edinburgh Scotsman says: 1.-The
oil will not do as it stands. The exclu-
sion of Irish members from Westmin-
minister will be fatal. Gladstone has
approached the subject with a heroic
spirit, but his desire 10 be generous To
ireland has carried him too far. He
was asked 10 give home rule and he pro-
poses TO give repeal. 1t IS safe TO say
the country will not sanction the
scheme
The Edinburgh Daily Rerie,r recog-
nizes Gladstones pure, lofty and
patriotic aims" but says il is disap-
pointed al the exclusion OF Irish mem
bers from the Imperial Parliament
The Edingurgh Scottish Ref0rBier COM
mends the scheme and pleads for
Scotch Home Rule.
The Aberdeen Journal pronounces the
proposals repulsive 10 every instinct of
the British people and fatal TO Glad
stones reputation.
Dispatches from all over Great Brit
ain and Ireland show that everywhere
popular interest was absorbed in the
outcome OF yesterday evenings pro-
ceedings in the Commons. Extra edi-
tons OF various daily newSpa-
pers were got in all the pro-
vincial towns as RAPIDLY as the news
could be obtained from London and
printed, and sales everywhere are re-
ported as having been enormous.
Country people went into the towns
everywhere in the United Kingdom.
and remained over night TO hear the
earliest and latest news from Parlia-
ment.
The Liberal papers, the Aberdeen Free
Press, Glasgow Herald. Belfast Wig,
Londonderry Standard, all oppose the
bill. The Leeds Mercury SAYS IL is in
genions, able and original.
Dublin FreemdR's Journal approves
the scheme.
Dublin Irish Times and Dublin Express
both isaDprove of il.
In Cork there is excitement over
proposals, but the general
opinion of the people is favorable to
to them.
This afternoons London Globe pro-
nounces the bill "a thinly yelled project
for total separation" and says the
is already doomed TO failure"
The Pail Nall Gazette devotes its lead
ing article to the bill, and heads the ar
ticie, This Won't Do" The editor re-
pudiates the scheme. and says that as il
stands 1t places a premium on separa-
ton.
An urgent whip has been issued BY
urging all party mem
bers to be in their seats in the Commons
this evening, in view of the important
developments which, il is declared. are
likely 10 occur. at . o'clock this after
noon all was quiet in and about the
Commons. Twenty seats had been
hated before noon TO secure them for

Irish proposals.

ternoon. A conference of all members
Of the late Conservative government
