THE GOVERNMENT DEFEATED.
LONDON, June S.-Long before the hour
for the assembling Of Parliament yesterday
afternoon a greater crowd was gathered in
the vicinity of st. Stephens than has yet
the progress Of the Home Rule de-
bate. As each prominent member passed
between the files of police in Palace Yard
he was cheered by his partisans. and when
Mr.. Gladstone arrived he received a perfect
The Premier looked calm and col
lected and it was remarked that he wore a
small white rose in his button-hole, en-
blatic possibly of a mission of peace.
Inside the House every seal was filled,
both on the floor and in the galleries. and
the passage ways were so crowded as to
render it almost impossible to move from
one point to another.
When Mr.. Goschen rose to open the final
debate on the great question of Ireland's
freedom and speak in opposition to the bill,
he was received with cheers, both by the
Conservatives and by the anti-GladstOne
Liberal cliques, of which he is one Of the
most promising members. His speech was
substantially as follows:
He said that the bill was said to be a
message of peace to Ireland, which the
Premier asserted would be torn to fragments
Immediately after its second reading. The
sovereignty of Parliament depended largely
on certain clauses contained in this bill to
which it was highly probable the majority
of the House of Commons would never as
sent. If the bill passed there would be a
tremendous struggle with the Catholic
clergy respecting the charge of education.
Regarding the question as to whether the
proposed measure would effect a final settle
ment or induce absolute separation, MI.
Goschen had not thought the inality would
depend entirely upon the Irish members and
the assurances Of the Premier. He had once
supposed that the givers of certain pledges
would reconstruct the bill, but they had in
~dignantly repudiated the assumption.
Mr.. Gladstone, interrupting: THAT is a
gross error. What the gentleman thinks
looks like indignation, was my eager repu.

a distinction, but he was unable to see how

on the bill, but OIL the explanations first
given at the Foreign Office and amplified
and explained on the Friday following.
Further explanations to the answer given on
Monday were also ELECTED in various let
tiers which passed between the Premier and
his followers. That is the basis on which
many members had united to vote for the
bill. The Premier was more anxious to
know from his supporters What they would
authorize him to give than he was to insist
on knowing what the Parnellites would
accept. It has been shown that the
British Parliament is not inclined
TO consider Mr.. Parnell its dictator.
MI. Goschen then reminded the House Of
Mr.. Morley's repeated allusion to dark sub
terranean forces during the first reading Of
the bill. There was not so much heard Of
them now. Tragedies which have scarcely
faded from our memories greatly alarmed

Continuing he said that the presence O
the Irish members at Westminster was in
compatible with a separate Irish Parhamen
and it would be impossible to include Ulste
in a Dublin Parliament. The financial an,
taxation propositions were also inheren
defects.
Mr.. Parnell was greeted with a deafenin

Parnell benches as he arose to reply to MI
