dan, amounting TO s67 ,561, to enable the

Exciting Home Rule Debate.

LONDON, May 1S.-Gladstone, in the
house of commons this afternoon moved
that the house devote four nights out of
five, given to parliamentary business eve
ry week, to debate on the home rule bill.
The premier's proposal produced sensa-
tion, as it had come to be generally be-
lieved without any clearly defined reason
why, that the government had about given
up hopes of carrying their measure and
would bring on crisis as early as posi-
BILE. An exciting discussion at once fol-
lowed Gladstone's motion, during which
both sides to the controversy revealed
their positions. Sir Michael Hicks Beach
Conservative said his party wanted a
pledge that the debate would be finished
Friday next. TO this Gladstone answered
that his reckoning extended the debate far
beyond the date fixed by the opposition.
After long and warm discussion Glad
stones motion was carried.
