LONDON March l2.-The dsbaue in the
| commons last night on Jennings motion to
amend the government resolution as to the
disposition of the Parnell report by includ-
ing censure of The Times, was decidedly
| warm. Lord Randolph Churchill who had
| been expected to fly the Conservative track.
did not disappoint expectations He said
| that from the inception Of the commission
he had watched the proceedings with feel
ings of sorrow and apprehension, which
feelings had grown stronger within him as
the proceedings developed. The proceedings
were Initiated throughout by their unconsti
tutional character. He dwelt at length
upon the course of the government in setting
aside the ordinary tribunals, while holding
that there was prima facie evidence against
the accused members Thus insisting, it was
the duty of the government, he contended,
to proceed against the accused members
criminally.
Objection TO the Commission.
He further argued against the special &C
ton OF the government in creating com.
mission OF three judges TO fulfill the func-
tons of judge and jury for the purpose OF
trying men accused of criminal conspiracy.
The government had decided to place men
who were their political opponents on trial
on criminal charges without giving to them
u i
(Parnell cheers Continuing, Lord Ran
dolph said the government had selected the
tribunal without giving the accused even the
privileges which belong to criminals-of Sc.
lecting or challenging their jury. Not
within the century, he said, had any public
| man been tested as Parnell had been, and he
appealed to the house to reject such unique
| and unprecedented proceedings.
Also Denounces Closure
The action OF the government in constitut-
ing the commission was adopted under the
closure method, which, though in 1882 the
government had regarded such procedure
unconstitutional, was used by the govern
ment in 1888 method of oppression for
its opponents Nemesis, he said, had attended
| the government in its adoption of such
methods
Savage Arraignment of Pigott.

lNociferous cheers from the Parnellites.
The government in appointing the commits
sion had violated the constitution. Ii the
government insisted upon its motion he
[Churchilll would insist upon his right TO
| condemn not only the Parnellites, but The
Times, which mad been found guilty of
strocious and unexampled libel and SANDER.
Remarks by Chamberlain.
Chamberlain said the Parnelites had in
vited the inquiry. All the allegations
against the commission We're baseless. He
complimented the commission upon its abil-
ity and impartiality. Jennings withdrew
his amendment and Game (Unionist) imme-
diately moved a similar amendment con
demning the course of The Times, which was
rejected by a vote of 32l to 259
Goshen said that LeCaron was employed
| in the secret service under Liberal govern
ment.
Fowler, who was at the time referred to
political secretary of the treasury, angrily
denied this His words and manner created
excitement.

ously to Sections references to the Salisbury
