Mr.. Gladstone 10 successful or not in
carrying his bill through Parliament, he
has forever killed oppression and CO.
ercion in Ireland.

scheme substantially for the repeal of the
legislative union between Great Britain
and Ireland.
The Newcastle Journal declares the
scheme too becumbersome and unwork-
able. crude and dangerous, and certain
| to be rejected.
The Edinburgh Scotsman says it Is
safe to say that the country will not

niZes Mr.. GladstOne's pure and lofty
patriotic aims, but says it is disap-
pointed at the exclusion of Irish MEM
bers from the Imperial Parliament,
The Edinburgh Scottish RefOrmer COM
ments on the scheme, and pleads for
Scotch home rule.
Dispatches from all over Great Britain
| and Ireland show that everywhere pop

of yesterday evenings proceeding in the
House of Commons. Extra editions OF
various daily papers were gotten out in
all provincial towns as rapidly as the
news could be obtained from London and
printed and sales everywhere are re-
ported as having been enormous. COun-
try people went into towns everywhere
in the United Kingdom and remained
over night to hear the earliest and latest
news from Parliament.
Liberal papers, The Aberdeen, Free
Press, Glasgow Herald, Belfast Wing
and Londonderry Standard all oppose
the bill.
The Dublin Irish Times and Dublin
Express both disapprove of it.
In Cork there 10 much excitement over
Gladstone's proposals, but the general
opinion of the people is favorable TO
them.

liam E. Forster took place in Westmins-
ter Abbey to. day. Mr.. and Mrs. Glad
stone and EarlS Spencer and Roseberry

of the Duchy of Lancaster, entered the
House of Commons this afternoon, he
was cheered by the Conservatives. He
| took back seat below the gangway.
On the opening OF the House several
Conservatives presented petitions
against granting a separate parliament
| to Ireland. Joseph Chamberlain will be
| the first speaker in the debate on Glad
stones Irish scheme. He will be fol-
lowed by Lord Harrington. Sir Michael
| Hicks-Beach, the Conservative leader in
| the House, will have the floor after Lord
| Harrington. The debate will not be
| closed tonight, but will be postponed
until Monday, when it will be resumed
after the Introduction of the budget, the
| discussion of which will be adjourned

| House of Commons this evening, why
| the Conservatives desire to maintain the
principles declared by Trevelyan last
night in reply to Gladstone.
