LONDON, March 4.-On the meeting Of
the house Of commons this afternoon Mr..
Hugh Holmes, Conservative, offered the
motion OF which he had given notice. 1t
was to the effect that the ''house before
voting OH the Irish estimates wishes to
know what policy the government has
agreed upon to restore and MAIN
tain order in Ireland" Gladstone.
speaking on Holmes motion, chaffingIy
declined to fall into the trap set for him.
He said he was not such a smpleton as to
yield to this allurement of his opponents.
He had already stated that the government
was considering the question of social order
i'll Ireland, the land question and the ques-
ton Of future government of Ireland. These
subjects were ineXtricably associated. The
government was really entitled to three
months time for the preparation of Irish
measures. Gladstone characterized Holmes
attack as one of the feeblest ever made
upon the executive branch Of the govern
ment The introduction of the motion
was really tantamount to justifying coercion
10 which the government would be no party.
Ii the late government had proposed CO.
erclOn, the mere proposal would have been
followed by disastrous consequences. Re-
Ierrlng to the sneerng illusions to Davitt's
ana the leagues denuncation of outrages,
GLADSTONE said he was glad to hear Davitt
preaching order, and delighted that the
league was mending its manners. Holmes
motion was Withdrawn. The ParnelliteS
admit Gladstone's speech was
VERY BRILLIANT,
and express themselves highly sat-
lshed with it. In an inter-
view Healey (NationalisO said

PEELED to throw overheard Chamberlain end
other members of the cabinet. Gladstones
speech contained no definite indication of
| his modus Operandi, but the Parnellittes
would be perfectly satisfied with the result
OF division tonight. In the house of lords
this afternoon Earl Kimberly, secretary for
India, gave notice that he would submit
motion for the appointment of committee
to inquire into the administration of the
government of India. Intimations from
official sources indicate that the queen has

the opening OF the colonial exhibition. Her
majesty, however, declined to hold court at
Buckingham palace, even for short period
in the spring.
