GLADSTONE HEARD FROM.
: Gladstone said he thought the conduct
: of the Irish policy should remain In the
= hands OF the government and under their
! primary responsibility. II IL was sup
y posed anything that had happened had
y produced the slightest change IN his con
:, victions regarding the late governments
J, Irish policy, he was afraid he was unable
y TO offer the slightest encouragement on
= that point. Cheers, What had happened
y had rather confirmed his strong belief
y that he had not erred In the main prlng
y oiples OF the scheme. lie thought the
~ late opposition had dealt hardly fair with
=. the late government In pressing them for
y their Irish policy, but he would not re-
taliate. "Ireland Is the question OF the
~ day, and the sooner this question il set
A. tied the sooner win the house be able to
~ dispose Of the arrears Of Legislation be-

a. Lord Randolph Churchill said he hoped
~ the statement no was about to make
~ would satisfy the house. After haunting
W Gladstone on his readiness 10 resort TO
~ coercion, which he said the ex-premer
" had In former times displayed, he stated
that the government had come TO the
conclusion that the adoption of coercive
~ measures for Ireland would be unwise.
20 The ministry wished the question OF local
~ government to be treated as question
~ affecting the United Kingdom. In regard
~ to Belfast, the government would take
~ care that crime should not become chron-
- lc there, as was the case In some other
- parts OF Ireland, nor would the govern
:. ment tolerate any attack upon the
~ ROYAL irish constabulary, whose
~ services were deserving OF praise
y The ministry were determined TO re-
y. store order In Belfast and would shrink
~ from no responsibility In order to attain
~ that end without delay. With reference
y 10 Kerry the ministry had resolved TO
send there a special military officer OF
. high rank 10 Investigate with such powers
~ as would enable him TO restore order.
- The moment the government became
I" conscious that further powers
"a were necessary they would
!, summon parliament 10 their
y, assistance. Regarding the land question,

commissioners, as they were considered
y too high. For all present purposes the
y ministry would take their stand on the
~ land act OF 1881 as flnal settlement At

~ cded TO appoint royal commission de-
" risiye laughter on the Parnellte benches
:, 10 make q careful inquiry during the en-
- suing autumn and winter into the work
Z ing OF the existing land system in Ireland
: The government did not intend TO deal
= with the land question by making any re-
- duction IN rents. That was contrary TO
70 their policy. The government also pro-
y posed 70 utilize the autumn and winter by
y procuring the best, information obtain
= able regarding Irish Industries. They
y proposed 10 appoint a small commission
y OF three gentlemen Of position and expert
y enceI who would be able 70 give conclusive
Y Information TO the government on such
y points a. the creation Of deep-sea fish
y cry on the west coast, harbors Of refuge,
y the extension Of railways, draiDage, etc.
y The government intended 10 devote the
recess 10 a careful consideration OF the
I question Of local government for all three
y Kingdoms, They hoped when parlia-
e meDt reassembled IN February they
y would be prepared 70 submit
y definite proposals on that most Important
Z. OF all questions. On concluding he said
y the government took the verdict Of the
2 country as In favor OF main
tanning the union as final. on that
verdict they based their policy and by
= that policy the government party would
stand or fall rCheers
