LONDON. June S.-The London Standard
saws that the House of Commons. by its vote
defeating the home rule bill, has saved itself
from degradation and the empire from dis
ruption. 1t has also read a lesson.to Ireland
which. after the first irritation has subsidized,
will, the Standard says, be duly appreciated
by the quick witted inhabitants Of that
island. Gladstone, Parnell and Morley may
rest satisfied that what the present House
has refused to Go no House can ever be in
duced to sanction.
The Times says 'The vote will encour-
age the Loyalists of Ireland to hope that
their kinsmen in England, will never aban-
don them to the uncoyenanted mercies OF
the Irish National League, and its paymas-
tiers in America Mr.. Gladstone exerted all
his marvellous powers of intimidation, mys-
tification and persuasion in favor of his bill,
and we rejoice that the majority against 1T
was decisive and crushing. IhlS speaks
well for the independence and courage OF the
House of Commons. 1t is strong testlmo-
nv in favor of the encouraging belief, that
Englishmen and Scotchmen are not yet ready
to submit themselves to the levelling intlu-
ence of the machine p0hctlcs OF America.
The point is, if the government had been
granted a second reading, they would

The debate on the bill, which reached a eli

reputation of the British Parliament for lof-

been preserved by the first great declaration

LONDON June 8.-Ninety-four Liberals
and Radicals voted against the nome rule
bill. There is intense excitement through
out the whole country over the outcome OF
the long Parliamentary contest. Conserva-
tives and Wings are everywhere making the
day one of jubilee, rining bells, lighting bon
fires, firing cannon and singing "GOd Save
the Queen Dispatches from Ireland state
that at Belfast, Londonderry, Armagh and
other towns loyalists have been stoned dur
ing their parades and demonstrations, but up
to late hour this afternoon no case of fight
ing or violence has been reported.
A London eye witness describes Mr.. Par
nell upon the floor of the House of Commons
last night as follows: "He was unusually
pale He commenced his speech neryously,
the speech forthwith assuming a higher lew
ell and the orator became very impressive.
Every sentence was formed with the great
est accuracy to express certain shades of
meaning. His face flushed with affection
and pride when he exclaimed we cannot sur
render single Irishman. The concluding
appeal for the peace and prosperity of sui
ferlng Ireland was delivered in chord OF
tender and genuine kindness, different from
the great Irish leaders usually cold and dis
passionate voice..
A conference of Chamberlain'S followers
will probably be held Thursday, and a man.
ifesto will follow. The Wings have virtual
ly decided to oppose Gladstone in Midlothi
an. The lists have been almost completed.
Gladstone has frequent telegraphic commu-
nications with the Queen, and has mailed
to her lengthy dispatches. John Morley, in
a speech at the Eighty Club tonight, said he
was not aware when the government would
resign. He believed that in spite of defeat
the home rule bill would become a law very
shortly. Constituencies certainly would
never consent to coercion, which meant mis-
cry in Ireland and disorder at Westminster.
BELFAST, Ireland, June S.-Rioting was
renewed this evening. A mob of Orange
men wrecked a number of houses of CathO-
lies and threw stones at the police, severely
injuring some of them. The riot act was
read and the police fired on the mob, which
replied with revolvers. Many were injured
on both sides. The police finally triumphed
DUBLIN, June Sat midnight the rioting
continues in the Orange districts OF
Monaghan. At Luergan several militiamen
have been wounded, some houses wrecked
and several persons shot, some being dan
gerously wounded. One Thomas Gallagher
was shot dead. Troops have been ordered
from Armagh to clear the streets.
DUBLIN June S.-There is the widest en-
thusasm among the Loyalist in the north OF
Ireland over the defeat of the home rule
| bill, Rockets were sent up at COleraine,
| county of Londonderry, last night announc-
