LONDON, Jan. 26.-Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, the Conservative leader, gave notice
in the house of commons this afternoon
that the government would introduce on
Thursday a bill to suppress the Irish
National league and other dangerous
societies, to prevent intimidation, TO pro-
tect life and property and maintain public
order in ireland. This announcement was
greeted with loud cheers. Sir Michael
said he would ask the house to give the bill
precedence. He added that this bill would
be followed by bill dealing with the Irish
land question on the lines of policy by the
land purchase act of last session.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, referring to the
case of Mr.. Bradlaugh, said the government
was not prepared to oppose that genteman's
right to sit and vote in the house of COM
mons. The appeal of Mr.. Bradlaugh is
still before the house of lords. The matter
now. said Sir Michael, is the concern of
the courts of law.
THE GOVERNMENT DEFEATED.
Mr.. Pamell moved that the debate on the
address in reply to the speech from the
throne have precedence over the bill to sup
press the National league, of which Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach gave notice. This
motion was strongly opposed by Sir Michael.
Mr.. Pamell later withdrew his motion.
The notice given by the Conservative leader
of the governments detention To introduce
bill to suppress the National league was
greeted by the Parnellite members with
cries of ''cOWardsi" ''Shamew and with
iruncal laughter, the uproar continuing for
some moments. Mr.. Ceilings moved his
amendment to the address Oh the subject of
allotments. Mr.. Gladstone strongly sup
porteD Mr.. Ceilings amendment, and the
Marquis of harrington opposed it. Sir
Michael Hicks Beach said the government
would be willing to accept the decision of the
house. as they had assumed Office with reluct-
tance and would resign without regret. The
amendment was adopted by a vote of 329
to $50, the government thus being defeated.
The result of the division was received by
the Irish members with derisive cheers and
cries of ''boycotted." The house at the
suggestion of Sir Michael Hicks Beach ad-
journed until Thursday. Lord Harrington,
Mr.. Goshen. Mr.. Courtney, Sir John Lub-
back and other moderate Liberals voted
wkh the Conservatives. Mr.. Gladstone,
Mr. Chamberlain, Sir Charles Dixie, Mr..
Trevelyan, Mr.. Labouchere, Mr.. Brad
laugh, Lord Richard Grossvenor and all
the Parnellites voted against the govern
ment.
ALATER ANALYSIS
of the division shows Lord Harrington and
Mr.. Goshen abstained from voting and that
only seventy-three Parnellites voted. 1t is
rumOred Lord Harrington will refuse to
enter a cabinet under Mr.. Gladstone. but
will undertake to lead a second party in
opposition to home rule. Mr.. Ceilings
amendment, on which the government was
defeated, expresses regret that no measures
are announced in the queens speech for the
relief of the sufferers by the depression in
trade and agriculture, particularly in regard
to affording facilities to farm-labOrers. ETC.,
for obtaining allOtmentS of small holdings
on equitable terms as to rent and security
OF tenure.
Messrs. Rothschild, Grey, Elliott and
WoodhouSe, Liberals, voted with the gov
ernment.
PRESS OPINIONS.
The Standard predicts that the next cabi-
net will be shorter-lived than the present.
1t says: I
The outlook is gloomy. Either England
and ireland will be torn apart, or there will
be a succession of short-lived governments
weakening the executive at home and abroad
The Morning Post says that the resigna-
tion of the government will be announced
on Thursday. The Daily News does not
seem disposed to eXult over the Liberal
triumph. 1t says the Conservatives pur-
sued the best possible policy, but they had
to bear policy beyond human strength to
support.
The Daily News ridicuIes the report that
the queen will summon Harrington to form
a new cabinet. Mr.. Gladstone, the News
says, is perfectly able to form strong,
united ministry,
