THE IRISH PARTY
The Land Bill Rushed Through
the First Stage
WHILE THE LEADERSHIP FIGHT
Between the Parnellites and McCarthyites is
Going On-Gladstone Denies the Dynamite
Canard-The Royal Labor Commission.

LONDON, April 10.-TCopyright 1891 by
the New York Associated Press. THE
government having succeeded in rushing
the Irish land bill through the first stages
when the Irish party was fighting on the
question of leadership, shows a determine
ton to follow similar policy with the bill
In committee. Balfour's action in using
the weapon of closure to abridge debate on
the hrst clause, is as tyrannical an applica-
ton as the present government has given.
Gladstone held a conference to-day with
several McCarthyites of the opposition, and
the result of the meeting promises to re-
store concerted action among the opposi-
ton, instead of every man fighting on his
individual responsibility Summed up, the
Liberal amendments, upon which the strug
gle Will proceed for several weeks to come,
include opposition to the use of the local
funds as guaran tees for loans, and objec-
ton to the tenants insurance fund; to the
proposal to levy the amount of any def
cheney on the county rates, and to the exclu-
sion OF organizing farms from the opera
tlon OF the measure.
None of these amendments are acceptable
To the government, ana after much talk
each will be defeated in turn
Close scrutiny of the personnel of the la
Dor commission confirms the belief that the
government Goes not intend to permit
hazardous questions as to the basis of the
relations OF labor and capital TO be consid-
cred. Roughly classified, capital has four
teen representatives and labor thirteen.
The radicals and labor members of the com
mons complain that the list contains only
SIX genuine labor representatives against
eleven large employers, while the sympa
thles OF the other members are on the side
OF capital. The notable omission of agri-
cultural troubles and the absence of alluS-
sion In terms of reference to the land ques
ton stamp the commission as the
creation of cabinet of landlords.
Whatever work is done will apply to
immediate remedial legislation of d prac-
tical character. Mr.. Shaw is unwilling to
re-enter parliament, even with the chance
OF resumlng the leadership of anti Parnell-
ltes The struggle is too much embittered.
The canard involving Miss O'Shea and
Parnell, has ceased to be heard. Parnell
comes to the commons direct from Brigh-
ton. Captain O'Shea continues to reside
al the west end of Brighton. Mrs O'Shea
is still at the west end, which is known as
'Fire-escape Terrace" She drives out
with Parnell
Gladstone having been privately asked
for statement in reply to Parnelrs charge
| that Gladstone gave an interview to Ameri-
can dynamiters at Hawarden, says his de-
NAL alone ought to suffice.
In the commons in the debate
to-day on the Irish land bill, La
boucnere moved to omit the word guar
anteed' from the clause proposing that ad-
vances be made by the issue of guaranteed
land stock, equal in nominal amount to the
sum advanced. He denounced the scope
and principle of the bill. A long debate
followed, participated in by Balfour, Glad
stone, Timothy Healy and others. Balfour
moved closure, which was carried, and
Labouchere'S motion was rejected
