LONDON, April Associated Press,
Copyrighted, 1891. THE government. hav>
ing succeeded in rushing the Irish land
bill through the first stages when the Irish
party were fighting on the question of
leadership, shows determination to fn1s
low similar policy with the bill In com-
mittec. Balfour's action in using the
weapon of closure to abridge debate on the
first clause is as tyrannical an applications
as the present government has given.
Gladstone held a conference today
with several McCarthyites on the hno
of opposition and the result of the naeot-
ing promises to restore concerted action
among the opposition, instead Of every
man lighting on his individual RESPONSE
bility. Summed up, the Liberal amend
ments. upon which the struggle will pro.
coed for several weeks to come, will in-
ciude opposition to the use of local funds
as guarantees for loans, and objection to
the tenants insurance fund, to the propo-
sal to levy the amount Of any deficiency in
county rates. and to the exclusion Of or
CARNATIONS of farmers from the operation
OF the measure. None of these amend.
ments are acceptable to the government.
and after much talk each will be defeated
in turn
Close scrutiny Of the personnel Of tho
labor commission confirms the belief that
the government does not intend to perInit
the hazardous question as to the basis OF
the relations Of labor and capital to b
considered. Roughly classified, capital
has fourteen representative and labor thir@
teen. The radicals and labor members 0f
the commons complain that the list cone
tains only six genuine labor represents
tivcs against seven large employers, while
the sympathies of the other members
are on the side of capital. The
notable omission of the agricultural
troubles and the absence Of allusion in
terms of reference to the land question
stamp the commission as creation Of
cabinet of landlords. Whatever work y
done will apply to immediate remedial
legislation of a practical character.

O'Shea is still at the west end, at what Il
known as the sire escape terracoa." She
drives out with Parnell.

In the commons today in debate on the
Irish land bill Labouchere moved to omit
the word guaranteed" from the clause
proposing that advances be made BY the
issue of guaranteed land stock equal in
nominal amount to the sum advanced.
He denounced the scope and principle a.
the bill. A long debate followed, particle
pated in by Balfour, Gladstone, Timothy
Healy and others. Balfour moved to
close, which was carried, .and Labouch-
ere's motion was renewed.
