IN PARLIAMENT.
The License Question the Principal Subject
of Discussion.

LONDON, June 23.-Smith said the gov
eminent had arrived at the conclusion that
it would be impossible TO pass the license
clause in its entirely prolonged opposition.
(Cheers.) The clause contained three
propositions; first, that certain portion
of the new taxation of intoxicants be APP
proprlated for the eXtinguishing licenses;
second, that power be conferred on county
councils to purchase and extinguish licen-
SEES; and third that the issue of new
licenses be suspended The first proposal
received assent from the house, and as far
as England was concerned, the government
would proceed with the proposal As re-
CARDS Scotland and Ireland with the Sec
ond proposal, the government would not
proceed, but would ask the house to allow
the money for the extinction of licenses to
accumulate until parliament should direct
otherwise. Opposition cheers The
third proposition would stand
Gladstone expressed partial satisfact
at Smiths amendment, but said the pro.
posed amendment threatened difficulty.
Its entire withdrawal would simplify the
debate
Smith said he appreciated the spirit in
which Gladstone spoke, but the govern
ment could not disregard the fact that the
principle Of the purchase had received the
approval of a large majority of the houee.
(Cries of 'only four At all events the
money accumulated would be at the dis
posal of parliament
Mr.. Smith moved to appoint select
committee tie enquire into the subject of
the continuance of bills from session to
session. It was agreed to reply to the dep
utation of publicans in the lobby tonight.
Mr.. Richie, president of the local govern
ment board, said that the principle of
compensation for the extinction of licenses
had been accepted by the house and the
money accumulated would be devoted to
that purpose.
