THE APPROPRIATION BILL PASSED
IN PARLIAMENT.
LONDON, September 22.--In the
House of Co nmons tonight, before the
third reading Of the appropriation bill,
Mr.. Lewis Conservative member for
Londonderry city, moved an official in
quiry into the conduct Of the magis-
tracy and police Of Londonderry on the
9th Of July, when the police wantonly
attacked respectable citizeps on the oc-
casion of the declaration Of the poll,
causing q ssturnslia of violence. He
said he had never before witnessed such
a period Of horror and excitement.
This remark elected laughter, where
upon Mr.. Lewis exclaimed that it was
no laughing matter.
Mr.. Morley said the whole case rest
ed upon the evidence Of letter from
the Bishop Of Londonderry and the per-
sonal testimony of Lewis.
Mr.. Sexton said he thought If an in
quiry were granted Mr.. Lewis ought to
be put in the dock, as he had shaken
his fist at magistrate and called him q
rascal and scoundrel.
Mr.. Lewis's motion was about to be
negstiyed when the Parnellites demand
ed division, and the motion was re-
jected by n vote of 227 to L. The an
nouncement of the figures was received
with loud laughter.
Dillon (Parnellite) urged the release
of Father Fahy the imprisoned Wood
ford priest, who, said Dillon, had re-
fused to give bail because he thought
that would amount to an admission Of
misconduct on his part.
Mr.. Holmes, the Attorney-G General Of
Ireland, justified the action taken in
the cases. He said he himself had no
power to interfere after the magistrate
had given direction. Sexton said hs
believed Father Fahy would prove the
most iDconvenient prisoner the Govern
ment ever had.
Tanner (Parnellite) followed. After
being twice called to order he was or
dered to cease speaking, whereupOn he
left the chamber shouting This
house is no place for an Irishman. |
am disguised with it."
Mr.. Cremer (Radical drew attention
to the fact that the foreign affairs OF
the Government would be left for some
months unchecked by Parliament. lie
was, therefore, anxious in regard to
what might be done by the Govern
meDt. lie deprecated Intervention in
Bulgaria.
Lord Randolph Churchill said he did
not think a majority Of the House or Of
the people would endorse Mr.. Cremer.
A discussion Of that sort now must be
of very academic character. lie depre-
Gated the premature discussion of the
Bulgarian question. The situation in
Bulgaria, he said, might at any moment
become critical. A crisis might be pre-
cipitated if the subject were prematurely
discussed.
Sir Wilfred Lawson (RadicaD said he
was not quite satisfied with Lord Ran
dolph's answer. He asked the Govern
ment to declare that it would not care
if the Russians got Constantinople.
Mr.. Labouchere complained that Par
lament had no voice in regard to the
liabilities and obligations incurred by
the country.
The appropriation bill was finally
adopted, and the House adjourned until
Saturday, when it v i'll be prorogued.
