rule and land purchase bills az insepara-
/ bly, connected. Mr.. Gladstone replied

THE ARMS BILL.
The House having gone into committee
on the arms bill, Mr.. Healy moved that

not to the Irish Privy Counsel, but to the
Lord Lieutenant, on the ground that the

angemen or Orange sympathizers.

Orangemen. The act would be Impair
italy enforced wherever needed.
MIR. Healy's motion was rejected by a
vote of 1850 TO l04.
The committee adopted amendments
providing that the arms act shall expire
IN December, 1887, and annulling the
power OF magistrates 10 grant certificates.
An amendment to reduce the penalty for
unlawful carrying Of arms was rejected.
PARNELLITEs DIVIDED.
The Parnellites are divided with refer.
ence to retention of the Irish members at
Westminster. All are opposed to a sepa-
rate session for the discussion OF the home
rule bill. They do not object to the hold
ing Of session in the autumn, provided
IL be in continuation of the present ses-
sion. IL is estims sted in the lobby that 20
votes are still required in order TO pass
the bill.
REACTION CAUSED.
LONDON, March u, IL 80 p. M.-The
skIrmlsh between Sir Michael Hicks
Beach and Mr.. Gladstone In the House OF
Commons tonight has produced some
reaction among the yield ing dissi6ents. IL
is nov doubted whether the Premier will
withdraw the home rule bill in the event Of
it's passing a second reading. At a private
meeting OF the Chamberlain party in the
House OF Commons this evening the
speakers referred coldly TO the PremieTs
speech. Many, however, were disposed
TO support the bill II the presentation OF
a new bill be guaranteed. Strenuous op-
position will be offered TO dealing with
the present measure in committee after
second reading. The followers OF Mr..
Chamberlain believe that the govern
ment will gladly let the bill die
naturally, thus avoiding formal with
drawal Of the measure. A promi-
nent Wing said tonight: 'There is
strong feeling among many OF US that
it is an insult TO ask practical men TO
vote for what 10 destined 10 be withdrawn
unutI dul tHCuuAHboHItts anu DAthkt
ourselves 10 support future measure
whose provisions are unknown"
THE PROPOSED MODTFIcATIoNs.
The proposed notifications OF the home
rule bill include provisions for fun repre-.
sentatiOn Of Ireland when the House has
under discussion army and navy esti-
mates, votes OF credit for war purposes,
foreign treaties, fscal changes affecting
the customs and excise OF the United
Kingdom, aud votes for the maintenance
OF the royal family.
At an Informal meeting this eVenin
the Parnelites agreed 10 accept Mr.. Glad
stones proposal to read the bill secondly
and postpone the committee stage until
the autumn. They we're also inclined to
agree 10 the proposed notifications il the
ameneed clause should be found, under
scrutiny, 10 imply 20 encrOachment on
the privileges OF the Irish Parliament.
The Parnellites are hopeful that tho tao
tics Of the government will lead 10 gradual
crumbling Of the opposition,
CHAMBERLAIN's LOSSES.
At the meeting OF tue Cham berlain sec
tiOn this evening the fact was disclosed
that only two followers OF Mr.. Chamber
lain had returned 10 the allegiance OF Mr..
Gladstone, but there are indications that
several desire 10 abstain from voting on
the second reading OF the home rule bill.
The Minieterialist8 limit the number OF
returning malc0ntents TO ~, but they ex-
pect that "A large number VIII abstain
