who know "Labby" best are confident
same style that ne was pursuing when
he incurred the censure of the majority.
Whether he will again be suspended or
not will depend upon the way the cOun-
try receives the news of the present
punishment. The affair has given
the press an opportunity to dis
cuss the Somerset scandal from a
new view point, and to make some
very ugly thrusts at the government for
failing to prosecute the guilty parties.
If this sentiment proves very wide
spread the government may Think it
best not to curb Mr.. Labouchere again,
but to let him have his say ont and drop
the matter as speedily as possible. 1t
is pretty generally believed that Mr..
I.abouchere'S accusation OF the premier
was prempditated and that he
ADOPTED A VIOLENT COURSE
with the intention OF provoking some
action which would call the public at
tentiOn in striking way to the dc bate.
After Mr.. LabOuchere had retired from
the house last night member whose
seat is near his had the inquISitiYeness
to collect the torn fragments of piece
of paper which the former had held in
his hand during the debate. The
paper was found to contain a name,
which was quickly whispered through
the house and the Hobbies as that of
high parsonage whom Labouchere
doubtless intended to accuse before he
should have completed his speech.
There is great curiosity to see whether
this name will come out when Labou-
chere resumes his address. If it does,
there will be one of the greatest sensa-
lions ever known in parliament. No
newspaper has dared, of course, to
drop hint as to the identity of the
person in question, the strictnesS of the
English libel laws making such publ
cation suicidal. Mr.. Labouchere, IN
speaking of last nights events. insists
that he was not out of order at any
tiiIe, and he declares his intention to
call for reversal of the speakers rule.
1t is expected that Lord Salisbury will
return to London in order to explain
hiS course in regard to the failure to
push the prosecution of the persons
suspected of
COMPLETELY IN THE SCANDALS.
The Pail Mail Gazette demands the
appointment of a parliamentary com
mission. similar to the Parnpll commits
sion, TO investigate the whole question
of the scandals. so far as 1t affects pub
lie officials. and TO report the results
to parliament. T. P. O'Connor's
paper, commenting on the pro-
cpedings in the house Of commons
Yesterday in relation to the Cleveland
street scandal, says the Liberals Intend
to protest against Mr.. Lahouchere's
suspension in such a manner as TO
deter the chairman from again making
such d ruling as that of Yesterday. The
Star also accuses the government of
culpable remissneSS in enabling
Titled criminals" to escape punish
ment for connection with the scandal
The Globe denounces Mr.. Labouchere
for his inSOIence, and says his political
trade led him to endeavOr to connect
the government with a nauSeOuS Scan-
dial and to pose as a hero and martyr.
The Conservative members of par
Lament intend to demand that
Mr.. LaboVcheIe be comnelled by
the house to name his authority
for his statement in the house of com
mons last night regarding the CONVEX
satiOn between Lord Salisbury and
Lieut.. Gen. Sir Dighton ProDyn in re-
lation to Lord Arthur Somerset. 1t is
reported to-day that Sir Francis Knoll
Tvs, private secretary to the Prince of
Wales, was Mr.. Labouchere's in
