The Home Rule RilI.

LONDON, May 18.-Mr. Gladstone, in the
house of commons this afternoon, moved
that the house devote four nights out of the
i've given to parliamentary business every
week to the debate on the home rule bill
The premlers proposal produced senSa-
ton, as 1t had come to be generally believed,
without any clearly defined reason therefor,
that the government had about given up hope
of carrying their measure and would
bring on the crisis as early as possible. An
excited discussion at once followed Mr..
Gladstones motion. During this both sides
to the controversy revealed their positions.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, Conservative,
and his party wanted pledge that the de-
bate would be finished on Friday next. To
this Mr.. Gladstone answered that his reck-
oning extended the debate far beyond the
date fixed by the opposition. After long
and warm discussion Mr.. Gladstone's mo-
ton was carried.
Mr.. Shaw Lefevre, resuming the debate
On the home rule bill, invited Lord Harting-
ton and Mr. Chamberlain to
UNFOLD THEIR SCHEME
for the government of Ireland. 1--WE know"
he said, that Lord Salisbury's scheme is
coercion" conservative cries OF dissent
and Liberal and Parnellite cheers ut
would be calamity" he continued, mot
to find method that would enable the
whole Liberal party to support the principle
of autonomy for Ireland. He believed that
the bill would leave the supremacy of the
imperial parliament untouched, and that it
was possible TO concede to Ireland all
that she required without imperling Eng
lands interest. Mr.. Chaplin, Conservative
denied that Lord Salisbury's policy was CO.
ercion. He said that the past failures to
govern Ireland without coercion were at
tributable to the fckleness of Mr.. Glad
stone, and that if the Liberal party could
get quit of MIR. Gladstone half the Irish
troubles would disappear Mr.. Labouchere
said it was clear that the chief object of the
opposition was to get rid of Mr.. Gladstone.
The Liberals who were opposed to the bill
were simply asserting the power of the To-
rieS to pursue a
POLICY OF COERCION.
Mr.. Labouchere'S speech was full of wit
ticislns and cOnvulsed the house, especially
the references that he made to Chamber
Iain's ''cockSueneSs." That gentleman. he
said, reminded him of Mt. Sinai The
member for Birmingham wonld be as much
surprised if anybody doubted that he was
right as Moses would have been if an Is
raelite had risen and proposed an amend
ment TO the ten commandments. When
Mr.. Labouchere suggested that the bill be
dropped after the second reading, Mr..
Gladstone leaned forward and closely
watched the effects of the speakers re-
marks on the Parnellite men,

Irish members arose simultaneously

quent interviews with Mr.. Morley and the
party managers. Mr.. Labouchere in the
course of his speech likened Mr.. Chamber
lain to Conservative jackal or whipper
in for the Wing cause. Among Mr.. Cham
berlains many good qualities. he said, was
a magnificent confidence in himself which
led him to consider that nothing could be
good that had not been originated by him.
His impulsiveneSs, however, made him
LEAP BEFORE HE LOOKED.
He thereby compromised himself, and
felt obliged to continue in what he knew
to be an erroneous course. MI. Labouchere
then proceeded to make sarcastic remarks
with reference to the threats of the Ulster
ties, whereupon Col. Warning and Maj.
Sanderson, two of the principal members
from Ulster. left the house amid ironical
cheers from the Parnellites. Mr.. Sullivan
denied that the Nationalist entertained an
implacable hatred of the English, and he
asked the house to give the Irish reason
or a fair excuse for being loyal.
He ridiculed the timidity of Obstetrics
in fearing that the Nationalist
would succeed in securing a separation in
opposition to the power of England. Sir
Lionel Playfair, Liberal, says that Scot
land had always insisted upon retaining
her own laws and courts and educational
system, whereas in Ireland an attempt had
been made to force English views upon the
people. The endeavor to govern Ireland
in this manner had so far been signal
failure. On motion of Mr.. Mccarthy the
debate was adjourned.
