In Mr.. Gladstous'a Prop l'al to Continue the
Debate on thO Homo RaIs asaSuro-Ths
Plane of Both Parties ROVsAIsd-ThO
Car FAGSs ForOciOus. Nlhnist.

LONDON, May ls,-Mr, Gladstone in the
House OF Commons this afternoon moved
that the House devote four nights out Of
the five given to parliamentary business
every week to the debate on the Home
Rule bill, The Prsmier's proposal pro.
duCed sensation, as 1t had come to be
generally believed without any clearly de-
fined reason therefor that the Govern.
ment had about given up hope OF carrying
their measure and would bring on the
crisis ~ early as possible. An excited dis
OnssiOn at once followed Mr.. Gladstons's
motion, during which both sides to the
controversy revealed their poHitions, Sir
Michael Hicks Beach, Conservative, said
his party wanted pledge that the de.
bates would be finished on Friday next.
10 this Mr.. Gladstone answered that his
reckoning extended the debate far beyond
the date fixed by the opposition, Alter
long and warm discussion Mr.. Gladstone's
motion was carried,
Mr. Shaw, resuming the debate on the
Home Rule bill, invited Lord Harrington
and Mr.. Chamberlain to unfold their
scheme for the government OF Ireland,
"We know" he said, "that Lord Sails.
bury's scheme is coercion" fOonserya.
tive cries Of dissent and Liberal and Par
nellite Cheera, 1t would be calamity,
he continued, not TO find method that
would enable the whole Liberal party to
support the principle Of autonomy for
Ireland.
Mr.. Chamberlain, Conservative, denied
that Lord salisbury's policy was coercion.
de said that past failures to govern Ire
land with coercion were attributable
TO the tlCkleness Of Mr.. Gladstone and
that II the Liberal party could get rid OF
Mr.. Gladstone half Of the Irish troubles
would disappear.
Mr.. LabouChere said 1t was clear that
the chief object Of the opposition was to
got rid OF Mr.. Gladstone. The Liberals
who were opposing the bill were simply
asserting the power OF the Tories to
pursue policy OF coercion. Mr., Labou.
chere's speech was full OF wittiCisms and
convulsed the House, especially the refer
snCes that he made 10 Mr.. Chamberlain.
That gentleman, he said, reminded him
Of Moses on Mount Sinai. The member
Tor Birmingham would be as much sur.
prised II anybody doubted that he was
right, as Moses would have been II an
lsraelllo had risen and proposed an
TO the Ten Commandments,
When Mr.. LabouChere suggested that
the bill be dropped after the second read
ing, Mr.. Gladstone leaned forward and
cloaely watched the effect oi the speakers
remarks upon the Parnellite members.
Mr.. Dillon and other Irsh mem.
bers arose simultaneously and in
reply to Mr.. Laboucheres suggestion
shouted an emphatic "No." Mr.. Labou-
Dhere was undoubtedly inspired to make
the proposal. He has recently had FREE
luent interview with Mr.. Morley and the
party nlanagers.
Ga motion Of Mr.. Mccarthy the debate
was adjourned.
