Mr.. Parnell-I would accept the bill if

HOPES FOR EARLY DEBATE.
Lord Randolph, continuing said he
trusted that after the recent speeches of
the ministers, the government would bring
up the arrears question early in the future.
In the meantime he could not admit that

NOTICE OF A MOTION.
Mr.. Parnell has given notice that he will
move that the committee on the Ashbourne
bill be empowered to instruct the land com
mission to deal with land arrears when fix
ing judicial rents.
Mr.. Goschen, continuing the debate, said
that the government agreed with Lord
Churchilrs remarks except in regard to the
security for the loans, which the govern
ment considered effective to the extent of
the proposed advances. He reminded the
house that it was the opposition that de-
clared that the further grants demanded by
the government were only desired IN order
to complete an experiment and that the
government had no intention to ak any
further advances.
LIKE A COLD DOUCHE.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt said that
Lord Churchill's cold douche had much
altered Mr. Goschens toue respecting the
bill. Nothing but Lord Churcailps tender
ness toward the government had induced
him to describe 95, 100000 as triGe which
the country could afford to advance on
unsound security. Lord Churchill rendered
a verdict of mot guilty" but don't do
it again. So Mr.. Goschen promised that he
would not. [Laughter1 Tine government

The vociferous cheers which greeted the
bill on its introduction plainly indicated the
paternity of the measure. The government
pretended that the bill would operate
against home rule, yet Mr.. Goschen said
that it should not extended. Could it be
that the government might in the future
be less anxious to oppose home rule.

IT'S FINANCIAL ASPECTS.
Criticising the financial aspects of the
bill, the speaker said that it allowed no free
dom of contract to tenants, who were not
even allowed to be advised by their repre-
sentetives. [Cries of NOT 'No" why
if the Parnellites advised electors they
would bs accused of intimidation and i'm
prisonel. [Cheers.l In conclusion, he said
ne believed the government would find
when they had to render an account of
these advances to the country, that they
had never II ade proposal more damaging
or disastrous to themselves.
The ra-icals continue the debate, COM
pelling Mr.. Smith to carry the division by
cloture.
