Mr.. Gladstone Says the Liberal Ministry Will
Stand by the Home-Rule Measure.
LONDON May %. The House of Commons
was crowded this evening Mr. Gladstone. re-
plying to a question by Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, Conservative, said that the government
considered it its duty, after the second reading
of the home-rule bill, not to ask the House to
60 into committee on the measure, but
to adopt one of the methods which
he (Gadstone) described at the Liberal meeting
yesterday. The government, he said, was in
clned to allow the bill to lapse for the present
session. and to advise the Queen to cause an
early reassembling of Parliament, at which the
bill would be re-introduced. He was unable, at
that moment to speak more positively.
Sir Michael, in view of the unsatisfactory
statement OF the government. moved an ad-
tournament He was greeted with cheers by the
opposition, all the Conservatives rising to sup.
port the motion. Continuing he said that the
government prior to the introduction of the
bill, had dwelt upon the necessity OF restoring
social order in Ireland and had said that the
government was OF one mind and had an intelli-
gible plan. Was the plan he asked, found so
unfeasbe that nobody could vote for It'll Ii it
was found feasible. why did the government
now propose to withdraw or postpone the billy
It simply amounted to a continuance-in-oftce
bill.
Mr.. Gladstone, upon rising TO reply, was loud
~ cheered. He repudiated the sordid motives
which Sir Michael had imputed to the govern
ment, although, he said, the general confidence
of his countrymen in the government rendered
such Republication unnecessary. Numerous
members of the House, who ware
friendly to the principle of the bill,
had asked for time to consider the
measure, hence the postponement. The gov
eminent had raised one Of the greatest issues
ever submitted to Parliament. and would en-
deavor to keep it clear of collateral issues. The
government had before it conflict, and was
prepared to go through the struggle to the end.
1t was perfectly confident as to the final issue.
ICheers. The government was acting IN ac-
cordance with precedent 1t was because the
course which the government had taken was the
best means of attaining the end sought that Sir
Michael had moved an adjournment.
Lord Randolph Churchill maintained that Mr..
Gladstone could not quote a precedent for the
course now taken, as regards any measure OF
great and over whelming Importance.
Lord Harrington said he thought the House
should know whether the government would
continue with the present bill In the autumn
session, or introduce new bill at another ses-
sion.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach afterwards asked
leave to withdraw his motion. The Parnelites,
however, insisted upon a division as joke. A
division was ordered. and, amid loud, ironical
cheers and much laughter the leaders of the
opposition voted with the government against
adjourning The motion was rejected by
vote of 405 to l. The announcement of the
result was received with renewed laughter and
cheers.
The debate on the home rule bill was then re-
sumed, the discussion being confined to minor
speakers Subsequently the arms hill passed
the third reading by vote of 156 to 65
Deadlock Between Greece and the Powers.
ATHENS, May 23.-The allied powers have not
yet withdrawn the blockade against Greece, and
will not withdraw 1t until notified by Greece
that she has demobiized her army. 1t is not
probable that Minister Tricoups will issue any
official notice to that effect to the powers
A deadlock between Greece and the powers is
thought to be imminent on this subject. Greece
has arranged directly with Turkey for disarma-
ment, without having recourse to the powers.
The agreement stipulates for the withdrawal Of
both armies from the frontier and mutual ex-
change of prisoners. Premier Tricoups will not
officially inform the powers Of this arrangement
with Turkey; and, as regards the continuance OF
the blockade. he now declares that the powers
can do whatever they consider expedient.
