GLADSTONE and BELA1p.

Gladstone Presents q Scheme Whereby
the Alleged Wrongs Of six conturiea
May be Retrievod--He Outlines His Irish
Home Rule Bill Amid Loud Cheera
from the ParnolIites. slt F
There was a great scene in the British
parliament on the 9Th. The Right Hon.
Wellesley Peel, the speaker OF the house,
took the chair promptly at 4 o'clock. The
chamber at the time was packed to the
very extreme limit OF Its CAPACITY and ey.
cry doorway showed hallways orammed
with people, all craning to zee and to hear.
Mr.. Gladstone went In an open carriage,
and his appearance was greeted with deaf.
ening cheers. The enthusiasm OF people all
the way from the door OF his house to the
commons entrance was spontaneous and
thrilling. It vented itself at the beginning
OF the journey in roar Of applause, hearty
and great enough to make most statesmen
dizzy, and when the whole immense multi.
tude cnught the signal, one Tremendous,
long-sustained cheer was sent up which
was plainly audible in the house. The
cheering continued until long after. Mr..
Gladstone had entered the parliament
buildings. The prince OF Wales, his son,
Prince Albert Victor, duke OF Cambridge,
Prince Christian and Minister Phelps
occupied seats during the speech In
the front row OF the peers gallery.
Gladstone rose and met with the most
prolonged outburst OF cheering ever heard
in the house OF commons. Hewas evident
ly deeply impressed by this reception, and
when he had spoken few sentences he
found his voice." 81
Gladstone rose nnd moved for permission to
introduce a bill to amend previous lesisla-
ton and to make provision for tho future
government OF ireland. On making this
motion, Mr.. Gladstone spoke three hours
and twenty-five infthtest explaining the
condition OF Ireland and explaining the
provisions OF his bill, which
in substance is about as follows:
1reland's representatives are to
retire from both houses OF the English par
lament. The success OF their local govern
and Scotch shall not direct local legisla-
tion for Ireland is completed by the rule
that Irish shall not direct local legislation
for England and Scotland. This point
settled, the new Irish legislature Is
to be u compromise between a
parliament and an American con.
gress. 1t will have two houses, and, in the
upper. the present Irish peers will sit by q
sort Of courtesy. But this upper house ia
really a senate, its members being chosen
by electors possessing definite property
qualification. The lower house win be
chosen, by the same rules that govern the
election Of members Of the commons. Each
house hus veto on the other. The powers
OF this legislature reach to rything
that pertains to Ireland alone. From IL
is withdrawn control OF I'LL distinctly i'm.
perial matters, the army and navy, the
defenses, foreign and colonial relations the
coinage and the customs duties. As com.
pensation for the latter, the revenues de.
rived from taxes in Ireland are to be ap.
piled to Irelanl's expenses, and tho sur.
plus placed ut the disposition OF tho Dub.
lin parliament. ~ as
present control, the civil service Is to be
transferred to the Irish themselves, and q
viceroy, not political representative and
hence not removable with party changes,
is to represent, with powers and duties
not well defined by the dispatches, the i'm.
perial authority.
Mr.. Parnell, was loudly cheered. He said;
As to the bill before the house. while re.
serving his full expression OF opinion until
he had seen the bill, Mr.. Parneil congratu-
lated the house on the TACT that there was
still living an English statesman who could
devote his attention to this important
matter, and begged to thank Mr.. Gladstone
Tor what would not only prove q beneficial
move [cheers] from the Irish point OF view,
but which he (ParnelD believed would be
found to be OF equal benefit to England.
FAULT ALREADY FOUND.
The bill nevertheless contained blots
which the Irish representatives would do
their best to remove. One OF these was to
be found in tho financial proposals OF the
bill, which he regarded as very unfavorable
to Ireland, especially in regard to the Irish
tribute to the imperial excheauer. He also
complained OF the proposition relative to
the two orders intended to constitute the
Irish parliament, on the ground that the
first order, consisting OF peers not subject
to the influence OF the popular vote, would
have the power Of hanging up meas-
ures demanded by the people and their
representatives for two or three years. On
the whole, however. apart from these de-
iects, he believed the measure would be
cheerfully accepted by the Irish people and
their representatives MS q satisfactory 40.
luton OF the long-standing dispute between
the two countries and as tending to pros.
perity and peace in Ireland and to salts
faction in England. [Cheers.]
The whole matter will be the subject OF
discussion for weeks, perhaps months be.
fore, finally brought to vote. E,25 4
