believes that trouble must arise between tho
Tories and Unionists on local government

In the debate on the question Of privilege to be
based on the arrest OF Patrick OBrien In mis-

of the Government. and Mr.. Morley or Sir
William Harcourt will move from the front OPP

ernpcnt for excluding Ireland from the scope
Of their new local government bill. These
ind other things will pile up the worries
OF Mr.. Smith. the stout, bald leader Of the
House Of Commons, and it is certain that he
will have to resort to the closure In order to
get tho address voted and force Q way for
other work.
The wind up OF last nights sitting. which. ns
I have already telegraphed you, was marked BY
the arrest OF James Gilhooly. was very inter
ssting. Long before the close Of the sitting
every one knew that Scotland Yard was watt
ing to gobble Mr.. Gilhooly up IS soon as he
should appear. The interest Of the entire
House was centred ON tho coming event AL
kinds Of advice was offered to Mr.. Gilhooly. q
very little man and very unpretentious, but
very pluckY. and who seemed not In the least
to care what became Of himself. At first it was
decided to send out and find how carefully the
exits OF the House we're watched. It was found
that OF least 20 Scotland Yard men were at each
OF the doors Of the house, mixed In with picked
specimens Of the Irish police. Two boats.
loaded With detectives and policemen. were
padding against tho current Of the Thames,
close to the terraces Of the House Of Commons,
making escape BY the river impossible. n as
this last fact was announced. In came two
moro Detectives, b took mp q position at the
entrance to the lobby OF thu House. It was
evident that Mr.. Gfhooiy was not TO escape.
The next proposal was hal Mr.. Gfhooly
should not leave the precincts Of the House Of
Commons, within which he cannot be arrested.
and that he should remain in ths House day
and night throughout the session. There Arc
bathrooms In the House n restaurants and
smoking roomss and bars TO get drinks in al
every corner. The benches Of the House
are comfortably padded. forming o much more
comfortable bed than thst which Gilhooly will
have in prison. and the colleagues Of the
member cordially offered to
bring him in socks and shirts and everything
that he might need, and take his things to
wash regularly. It was evident that he would
not have a really bad time. and that the idea Of
remaining permanently In the House was quite
MI. Gilhooly was urged by your cor
respondent and others to adopt this plan, and
promised that Irishmen all over the world
should be informed constantly Of how he was
getting on in his big cage. But after much re-
lection and consultation with Mr.. Parnell. he
decided that perhaps he would look ridiculous
and afraid to 90 to jail. and SO he decided to
give himself up. His resolution was very
opposed. and especially by the Eng
Liberals. Arnold Morley proposed that
Gtlhooly should effect a complete disguise by
putting on n tall hat, under which his head had
never yet appeared. and should escape in Ar
mold Morley's carriage. This suggestion was
enthusiastically supported, and other Liberal
members offered the use OF their carriages,
volunteering to escort Gilhooly in a body and
hustle the detectives out OF the way If neces-
s&ry; but Mr.. Parnoll, being again consulted,
disaprroved OF Mr.. Moriey's arrangement. and
It was finally decided that Mr.. Gilhooly should
bow to fate and the dete ,tives.
This decision was reached ut 10 O'Clock, and
from Tint time on Gilhooly conducted himself
after the fashion OF the traditional red man, who,
whom tied to q stake narrates all he has done
10 madden his enemies. He stood in the lobby
close to the detectives. with an admiring throng
about him, and told In a loud and Rleeful voice
OF many occasions on which he had seen those
self-same detectives when they had not seen
him, and how, In general. he had enjoyed him
self for weeks In Ireland defeating the vigil
lance Of Mr.. Balfour's agents. turning up every
Sunday to speak ut meetings even In his own
district, where even hairless infants knew his
fnee. He went on at such q rate that the de-
~tectives. looking more and moro sheeplsh.
finally changed their positions for one outside
the lobby door.
When the sitting was over Gilhooly marched
ont to meet his fate. Nearly q hundred mem
bers Of Parliament scrambled after him to see
him meet 1t. At the entrance he was pointed
out by two detectives who had been In the
lobby, and twenty Scotland Yard men, firmly
convinced that the big crowd Of members were
there to help tho Irishman essRpe. bounced
upon him all AZ once. Members OF Parliament
promptly bounced upon them. and o very lively
time ensnod. much TO the delight Of cabmsn
and nondsscrtpt Londoners, who promptly
gathered around.
