A VIOLATION OF THE RULES
The speaker said 1T would be a violation
of the rules to proceed with the debate
when motion relating TO the same ques-
ton was already recorded.
Mr.. Parnell responded: MY motion re
fers to the position on paper of the bill, not
to the merits of tho bill. l simply desire
that the house, as representative of the
English and Irish nations, should discuss
the measure"
The Speaker-Order. Obey my ruling.
MIR. Farnell-What, against my motion
to adjourn'

TIME OF TAhlNG THE VOTE.
Mr.. Gladstone asked if a vote on the
motion for leave to introduce bill for the
appointment of a commission of inquiry
would be taken to-nightf
MIR. Smith said that he hoped 1T would,
but If 1t was opposed II would not be taken.
1t is for Mr.. Parnell to say he said,
whether he accepts the proposals of the
government. We do not desire to debate
the bill. If the proposals are received
copies of the bill will be Immediately cir
culated among the members. | will then
fix the time for It's second reading,
but must frankly say that
will not make arrangements
for debating bill OF this kind lParnelllte
ohs.J certainly Will not occupy the time
of the house at any length in discussing the
measure.
Mr. Parnell-Does the right honorable
gentleman referring to Mr.. SMITH mean
to say that we are not to be allowed to de-
bate, but must accept IKE sheep the Judg-
ment OF butchers. Irish cheers.
Mr. Smith-lt there is opposition to the
bill it viii probably hinder its being taken
tonight.
The Parnellite members here left the
house to consult on the course to be pur-
sued.
SMITH MAKES HIS MOTION.
Af+or midniobt Mr. Smith formally,
r,oyed that the house nerrnit of the intr6-

more monstrous proposition had never been
made by minister occupying such a
position. lCheers from the opposition
benches After informing Secretary Bal
four that he might suppress his ill-timed
levity until he heard the end Of the
story, Mr.. Parnell resumed: IF the
letters are genuine am not an
honorable but a dIshonOrable mem
ber and it Is the duty or the leader Of
parliament and the nation to insist upon a
thorough inquiry instead OF saying that it
is for me to say whether to accept the bill
''He wants me to accept the bill without
knowing the names Of the jury or judges
selected by himself. Why should | trust

ney have made themselves accomplices

"oh, OH" and cheers How can

inert desires to put the cart before the
horse-to keep the question of the authen-
ticity of the forced letters il the back
ground, but | shall give no chance TO the
honorable member to back out OF II, and II

DISORDER In ihE hooSE'
Mr.. Parneil was here interrupted by loud
lauGher from the conservatives, leading the
speaker TO cry loudly: Order" "order" !"
while Parnelite has heard to shout:
Sure, they are only pack OF cads.
Amid the excitement one OF the members
rose for the purpose OF naming the offend
ing member, but tho speaker ignored the
