JUSTICE DAY RETAINED
A HOT DEBATE IN THE HOUSE
 OF COMMONS.
ParneIlites Voted Down on Every Amend ment-After the White Pasha-Em-
 peror William in Denmark,


 LONDON, July 31.-The House of Com mons went into committee tonight on tho bill to investigate the charges against MT. Parnell. MT. Sexton moved to increase the number of Judges in the Commission to five, if 1t was to inquire into the whole history of the National League extending over nine years. If the League embraced members ln every part Of the world, it would take several years before the in- quiry could be finished. Much evidence might have to be sought abroad, Three Judges were not sufficient, unless the in- quiry were limited.
 Mir. Matthews ln reply said that the Government could not accept the amend ment and that Mir Sexton had eXaggerat- ed the task before the Commission. MT. Sexton then reminded Mir. Matthews that the Commission dealt with charges for murder and outrage, and that everything might turn npon the examination of wit nesses in New Y Yorl1 or Australia. He had nothing to say against two of the Commits sioners, but he was surprised that the nomination of Justice Day after his con duct during the inquiry into the Belfast riots.
 Mr. Parnell urged tho House to recollect ! that they were discussing a proposal to provide q substitute for the jury. While in England jury of twelve was provided, 1t was proposed that the settlement of i'm, portant, far-reaChing Irish issues be h. Volved in an inquiry to depend upon the verdict of two men.
 He denied that it was any favor to the Irish members. On the contrary, it was waving their ordinary position as citizens In accepting the Commission. They put the public under an obligation. While the inquiry was pending he ought to be protected from press attacks The leading London Conservative paper to-day had declared that the question was no longer as to his innocense ot guilt, but as to the best means to provo him guilty. Was he to be held responsible for everything Patrick Ford did or said in America, while the Government were not responsible for what their organs did!
 MT. Labouchere explained that he de- sired to show the necessity of neutralizing the influence of Justice Day by increasing the number of Judges.
 The amendment was then voted down by a majority Of 43 votes; the vote standing 19O ayes and 23S nays.
 ln reply to number of questions from the Parnellites, Mir. Balfour defended the fitness of Dr. Barr to inspect Irish political prisoners. An English doctor was selected to visit the Irish prisoners because Irish doctors would be subjected to the severest intimidation. Tho verdict of the Mitchells- town jury was entirely uDwarranted. Every effort would be made to bring the real truth about the Vaudeville case before the country.
 Mir. Smith having proposed that the Com mission consist of Justices Hannen, Day and Smith, MT. Labouchere protested against the selection of Justice Day.
 Mir. Balfour said the Government se- lected Justice Day as man who was never associated with party, whose conduct on the bench proved that he was qualified to execute the arduous duties of Commis. sioner.
 Mir Parneu said somehow 1t always hap pened that Orangcmen were put on 1urtes to try Nationals and Catholics. The Government could no longer plead igno- , ranco in regard 10 a Commission composed of two Conservatives and ono Unionist The world would khow tomorrow that the Governments idea of fairness was that the Nationals should be tried by a jury of three English political opponents. Upon division the vote stood: For Justice Day, 269; against him, lSO.
 MT. R. T. Reid (Libcral) proposed ar amendment estricting the inquiry to ac- cusations of complioity in murder or vio- lence.
 MT. Matthews said that the object of every amendment on the paper was to limit and contract the scope of tue inquiry
 MT. Chamberlain opposed the anne nd ment. The object he said, was not to in quire into the plan of campaign or boycott ting, except so far as necessary to show
 complicity in crime. Although he was no lawyer, he ventured to say that if the amendment was carried it would be inn possible to inquire into the first. letter which the Times attributed to Mir. Parnell, and it would shut out many of the Tnnes'S charges.
 Mir. Parnell said he had not before had an opportunity to acknowledge the compli- ments MT. Chamberlain paid him on g re- cent occasion. His recollection of Mr. Cham berlain was that befo"e he was Minister he was always anxious to put the Irish party forward to do work which he hIm- self was afraid to do. After he became l Minister he was most anxious to betray to
 the Irish party the secrets of the Cabinet
 and to endeavor, while in the Cabinet, to
 endeavor to undermine their councils and :, plans in the interests of the Irish party. If the inquiry was extended to these mat ters, he would be able to make good his words by documentary and other evidence that 1t had not been forged. LONDON, July 31.--Whoever the White . Pasha of Bahr-el-Gazelle may be he is 3 causing great commotion in the Soudau. The Mahdi has been vigorously recruiting and arming since the stranger was heard of. Advices just received from Kartoun report that three steamers have been sent l of to meet the invader and drive him out.
 It was estimated that three thousand men
 in all had been despatched and more were
 getting ready to go.
 a The mail steamer from the Congo brings 0 news from Mai lor Barttelot to April 18th. : The Major had heard nothing of Stanley, : but was preparing to leave the Zambuya 8 Camp to go in search of him. Hippo Tib s was most friendly to him, and was to ac- : company him on the expedition with 900 @ men. The searching party was fully sup piled with provisions themselves and fresh - supplies for Stanley.
 k The identity of the white Pasha was still
 unknown to the Soudanese. He was re-
 garded as . great mystery there, and
 looked upon with alarm. They called him , Mudir. The opinion gains ground here - that the mysterious man is no other than n Emin Bey.
