Home Rule AgitatioBs Kept mn In
Parliament.

LONDON, February lo.-Maurice Healy
member for Cork City, asked the Gov
ernment today in the Commons whether
since the refusal of John DAILY
a life convict in Cheatham prison
to connect the Parnellites with dyna
mite outrages, he had to be treated
with enhanced severity. healy re.
quested that sworn inquiry be made
as to Daly's treatment, or that member,
of the House who desired to investigate
the matter, be allowed ths same access
to the prisoner as allowed the agent o.
the London Times. Matthews, Home
Secretary, said he had no authority te
grant the request for sworn inquiry
He denied the allegations against the
prison officials, and said Daily had stat cd
that he had no complaint to make of his
treatment.
Bannerman (Homerruler) resumed
the debate on the address. He summed
up the case against the Government BY
declaring that it had wilfullv resorted to
coercion when coercion had proved to be
worse than useless.
Bslfour said during the present debate
the administration OF affairs in Ireland
had been compared to the tyranny OF
Russia, although everybody knew the
comparison was nonsensical. The en-
deavor of the Government was to free
Ireland from the bondage of an unscrup-
ulous conspiracy to suppress intimida-
ton to give to the people the common
rights that all people were supposed to
possess in civilized countries. He trusted
the House and the country would con-
tinue to support the policy that had done
so much for Ireland.
At the end of the debate a vote was
taken on Psrnell's amendment to the
address, which was rejected, 307 to 240.
THE PARNELLITEs CONGRATULATED.
The Council of Liberal Federation

and his colleagues upon the result of the
inv estigation, regretting that all persons
responsible for the forgeries were not
called to account by the commission, and
demanding that the Government offer
reparation to Parnell.
