irish Home Rule Defeated In the
House of Commons
PzrneIl Makes an Eloquent Appeal For the
Home Rule BEl-GIadston='s Final
EHort in It's BehalE-Beaten
by Thirty Majority.

LONDON, June S.-The Government was
defeated by a majority of thirty on the
second reading of the Home Rule bill last
evening. The vote on the measure was 81
for and S41 against
Mr.. Gladstone then moved an adjourn
meat until Thursday and the motion was
adopted.
Mr. Gladstone entered the House of Com
mons at SIS in the afternoon and proceeded
straight to his seat. When his presence
was noticed he was greeted with tremen-
deus cheering.
The Premier wore a white rose in his
lapel. The House of Commons was crowded
10 its utmost capacity at the hour of OPEN
bg.
Mr.. Gladstone, reply ing to a question on
the paper, said the Government would be
unable to promise to incorporate measures
for Home Rule government in England,
Wales and Scotland in the revised Irish
Home Rule bill when it should be brought
tn during the autumn session, in the event
bf its passing second reading now.
The opposition loudly cheered John
Bright and Lord Harrington as they en-
tered and took their places.
The Parneliites were all in good voice,
and they gave Gladstone a most enthu-
sastic welcome. Every inch of space on
the main floor, as well as in the galleries,
was occupied.
At noon hundreds of seats had been Sc
cured by hating fol the closing debate.
Hon. George j. GoSchen, Liberal, re-
sumed the debate on the Home Rule bill.
He said the bill was to be a message of
peace to Ireland, which the Premier said
would be torn to fragments forthwith AFTER
its second reading. The sovereignty OF
the Imperial Parliament depended
on a clause which it WIS highly
probable the majority of the House
would never consent to. Il the bill passed
tremendous struggle would be inaugurated
by the Catholic clergy of Ireland for the
control of education in that country. Re-
garding the question whether the bill would
prove final settlement of the Irish diff
Guilty or lead to eventual separation.
Goschen said he did net think il wound
prove a finality. That would depend en-
tireiy on the assurances given by the Irish
members. The Premier at one time was
supposed to'have given pledge to recon-
struct the bill, but he subsequently indig-
Gladstone interruptingly said: THAT is
q gross error. What the gentleman thinks
looked like Indignation was my eager repu-
diation of the cool statement that had re-
solved to reconstruct the BILL"
GOschen, resuming, said he saw a dis
tinction, but was unable to see how the
Premier could avoid the difficulty The
House was now informed that the bill was
not to be reconstructed. Cries of ''Or'
"Op' and cheers amidst which Gladstone
expressed signs Of dissent. He wanted to
know if the Government was going to stand
by their bill or not. Loud opposition
cheers This state OF doubt came from
voting not on the bill, but ON the explana-
ton first given at the Foreign Office and am
piified and explained away on the Friday
following. Further explanations to the an
swer were made on the ensuing Monday.
1t had also been ELECTED in various letters
which had passed between the Premier and
his followers that the reconstruction of the
bill was the basis on which many members
would unite in voting with the Government
on a measure which everyone admitted was
the most important ever submitted TO Par
lament. The opponents of the bill would
have achieved their result il the bill were
withdrawn after it passed a second read
was now more anxious to learn from his
supporters what they would authorize him
to give, than to insist upon knowing what
the ParnelIites would accept Cheers.l
His tone was different. 1t had been shown
that the British Parliament was not inclined
to consider Parnell its dictator. Loud
cheers.
Mr.. Parnell spoke as follows:

dence in following so able and eloquent

"Goschen is certainly free from re-
preach. He has not joined Lord Randolph /
Churchill and Chamberlain in the use OF
reckless language in reference to the affairs
of country which is not their country
cheers interference for which they had
not the paltry excuse that it was any bust
ness of theirs or that they had any interest
therein. My colleagues have in times past
been reproached because they have not been
careful to look at the effect Of their IAN
guage and doctrine. Indirect respons. bility
has been employed against them to the ex-
tent of Imprisonment If that doctrine of
indirect responsibility is employed against
Lord Randolph Churchill or Chamberlain,
Lord Randolph Churchill ought to
plead the excuse that he believes
in nothing and nobody but him
self SO he could not expect any
great importance TO be attached to his dec
aratiOnS Icheers, laughter while Chamber
ain might have said and said very truly
hat he is absolutely ignorant Of all cir

projected visit there last autumn not hay
