LONDON, April 10.-The Government, hav-
ing succeeded in rushing the Irish Land Bill
through its first stages, when the Irish party
were fighting on the question of leadersh ip,
shows a determination to follow a similar
policy with the bill in committee. Balfour's
action In using the cloture to abridge debate
on the first clause is as tyrannical an appli-
cation as the present Government has ever
given. Gladstone held conference to-day
with several McCarthyites on the line of
opposition, and the result of the meeting
promises to restore concerted action among
the opposition instead Of every man fighting
on his individual responsibility Summed
up, the Liberal amendments, upon which
the struggle will proceed for several weeks
to come, include opposition to the use of
local funds as guarantees for loans, and OBJ
lection to the Tenants Insurance Fund; to
the proposal TO levy the amount of any de-
fciency on country rates, aud to the eXclu-
sion of grazing farms from the operation of
the measure. None of these amendments
are acceptable to the Governm- at, and after
mu ch talk each will be defeated in turn.
THE ROYAL LABOR COMMISSON--
A close scrutiny Of the personnel Of he
Labor Commission confirm the b.lief that
the Government does not intend to permit
any hazardous questions a to the basis OF
the relations of labor and capital to be con
sidered. Roughly CLASSIFIED, capital has II
representatives and labor Is The Radi-
Gals aud labor members Of the Commons
complain that the list contains Only six
Ioh r.
large employers. white the sympaihies OF
the other members are on the side Of capt.
tai. The notable omission OF the agricultu-
raj troubles and the absence Of any allusion
to the land question stamp The commission
as the creation of a cIbiaet Of landlords.
Whatever work is done Will apply to imme-
diate remedial legislation Of a practical
character.
PARNELL AND MRS. o'sHEA.
Mr.. Shaw is unwilling to re-euter Parlia-
ment even with the chance of reSuming the
leadership of the anu-Parnelites. The
struggle Is too much embitered.
The canaTd involving Miss O'Shea and
Parnel has ceased to be heard. Parnell
comes to the Commons direct from Brigh-
ton. Captain O'Shea continues to reside at
the W est End of Brighton, AID Mrs. OShea
is also at the West Fad, which is now known
as Fire Escape Terrace" She drives out
with ParnrlL
GLADsTONE'S DENIAL.
Gladstone, having been privately asked
for a statement in reply to Parnell's charge
that Gladstone gave an interview TO Ameri-
can dynamters at Hawarden, says his de-
NAL alone ought 10 suffice.
THE CLOTURE APPLIED.
In the Commons to-day, on tile Irish Land
Bill, Labouchere moved to omit the woFd
guaranteed" from the clause proposing
that advances be made 10y the issue o. guar
FNgN
to the sum advanced. He denounced the
scope and principal Of the bill. A long de-
bate followed, which was participated in by
Balfour, Gladstone, Timothy uealy and
vas carried, and Labou here's motion was
rejected.
