) LONDON, June 4.-Lord Salisbury, in the
Honss of Lords this afternoon. severely cri-
tieised Mr.. Blaine for his Portland speech,
for Ireland beea6Gse Of tbs lis Attack on s6me
utterances attributed to the Marquis, and

bury said that he must denounce the Ian
guage used by Mr.. Blaine, who is canvassing
for the exalted position of President of the
United States He complained that Mr..
Blaine misqu0ted him in reference to his ut
terances respecting Irish emigration, and
added: "It ought to be an admitted truth
that assisting people to emigrate from coun-
try where employment is scarce and wages
low to another country where they can inn
prove their condition was doing benefcent
act. There was nothing in my suggestion
approaching an insult to the Irish people. |
dc not mind Mr.. Blaine's abusing me, if that
will improve his prospects; but i do hope
that in the future he will quote me correctly;
Referring to that portion of Mr.. M0rley's
speech last evening in the House of Com
mons, he denied that he had ever advocated
twenty years of coercion for Ireland.
The Earl Of Kimberly. Colonial Secretary,
replied to Lerd Salisbury, and said he
thought that the language used by the Mar
quis was justly capable of the construction
put upon it by both Blaine and Morley
LONDON, June 4.-The Pail Mall Gazette,
commenting on Mr.. Blaine's correction of
the report of his Portland speech, says: st
it is quite in accordance with Mr. Blaine's
character to hurl insults and then retract
them. MI. Blaine is a public man whose
support is almost a discredit. He is now
posing to gain the next nomination of the
Republican party to the Presidency. If he
succeeds, it is pretty safe to say that Ameri-
ca will repeat the rebuff she gave him two
years ago."
MIR. cIadstone's Statement.
Mr.. Gladstone, replying to letter from
Thomas Henry Bolton, Liberal member for
North ST. Pancras, writes as follows: Il
hold it to be indisputable, indeed elementary,
that the voting of the second reading of the
home rule bill will affirm only the. principle
of the establishment of an Irish legislative
body to transact business concerning purely
Irish, distinct from Imperial affairs. The
government consider and hold themselves
free to accept any proposals which may be
submitted to them previous to the autumn
session, consistent with five main conditions
which they consider essential to the solution
of the question, including the Irish repre-
sentatives at Westminster to take part in the
discussion and settlement OF Imperial busl-
ness. The government are not only at liber-
ty, but they are in duty bound, to consider
any such amendment"
This statement, it was thought in the lob
bieS of the HCu sof Commons, tonight, would
cause number of waverers to decide to vote
