LONDON. May 1S.-Mr. Gladstone, in
the House Of Commons this afternoon,
moved that the Rouse devote four
nights out Of the five given 10 Parlia-
mentary business every week to the
debate on the home rule bill. The
Premief's proposal produced a ssn.a.
ton, as IL had come to be generally be-
lieved, without any clearly defined
Teas IN therefor, that the G lvernment
had about given up hope of carrying
their measure aud would bring on the
crisis as early as possible.
An excited discussion at once fol-
lowed Mr.. Glads ones motion. Dor
ing this both sides to the controversy
revealed their positions.
Sir Michael Hicks.B. ach (Conserva.
tive) said his party wanted a pledge
that the debate would be finished on
Friday neSt.
To this Mr.. Gladstone ans wered that
his reckoning extended the debate far
beyond the date fixed by the opposi-
ton.
After a long and warm discussion
Mr.. Gla6stone's motion was carried.
Mr.. Shaw LefeTve, resuming tie de-
ta,e on this home rule bill, invited
L,rd Harrington and Mr.. Chamber

government Of Ireland. eve know"
he said, "that Lord alisbury's scheme
is coercion. Conservative cries Of dis
sent end Liberal and Parnellte
cheers. II would be a calamity" he
continued, mot to find method that
would enable the whole Liberal party
to support the principle of autonomy
for Ireland. He believed that the bill
would leave the supremacy Il the I'm
pelial Parliament untouched and that
it was possible to coDcede to Ireland
all that she required without imperil.

Mr.. Chaplin Conservative denied
that Lord SalisbuTy's policy was cler.
con. He seid that the past failures ic
govern Ireland without coercion were
attributable to the fckleness OF Mr.
Gladstone, and that il the Libe'a
party could get quit of Mr.. Gladstone

Mr. Labouchers said it was cleal
that the chief object Of the oppcsIi)r
was to get rid of Mr.. Gladstone. Tit
Liberals who were opposing the bill
were simply asserting the power o
the Tories to pursue policy OF coer
cion. Mr.. Labouchere's speech wa

were made to Mr.. Chamber aim

raid, reminded him of Moses on Noun
Sinai. The member for Birmingham
would be as much surprised if any
body doubted that he was right, a
Moses would have been if an Isrdelit

to the Ten Commandments.
When Mr.. Llbouchere suggested
that the bill be dropped after the sec
