LONDON, April 2l.-In the house of
commons, today, there was scene of
unusual outburst of temper on the part
of Gladstone. During the sitting in the
committee, 7. w. Russell charged the
Liberals with trying to defeat the Irish
land bill. Gladstone, facing around,
exclaimed "That is absolutely un-
true"
The house was aghast, and Russell
tried to make an explanation, when
Gladstone darted forward and reiterated
in more parliamentary language his as
sertion that Russell's statement was
contrary to the fact. Russell, resuming,
quietly observed that there were SO
many leaders of the opposition, that it
would be advisable to drop the subject.
This did not improve Gladstone's
temper, and when Saunderson rose and
congratulated him for supporting the
bill, Gladstone's anger was redoubled,
and he again gave vent to language
rarely heard ON the front bench. The
unpleasant episode pleased the Radicals,
but Gladstone's colleagues looked ner-
vous and i'll at ease.
THE IRISH QUESTION.
At the largely attended meeting of
the Primrose league, this afternoon,
Lord Salisbury, in speech, said this
generation must solve the Irish ques-
ton. The coming election, however,
would not solve it, as whichever
way the elections went, the 9th
er party would have no rest go
far as the Irish question was concerned.
Parnell's success would be one OF the
greatest blows the empire could receive,
and the success of the anti-Parnellites
no less dangerous. Parnell had the
sympathy and money OF American con-
spirators, while Mccarthy represented
the secular efforts of people of high
spiritual rank in the Romish
church. He had not the slightest in
tention of speaking Indignantly of the
Roman Catholics, but desired to warn
them of the dangers which arose from
ministers of any religion using their po-
sitionE as religious teachers as means.
of figuring as political leaders. Yet the
English electorate were asked to place
Ireland under the hybrid, secular, eccle-
siastical power.
THE PORTUGUESE IMBRoGLIO.
The Press association announ ces that
Lord Salisbury has directed Sir George
Glynn Petre, British minister at Lisbon,
to demand from the Portuguese govern
ment an immediate explanation of the
seizure of British vessels at Biera, and
ii the response is not satisfactory, Lord
Salisbury will insist upon reparation.
REBELLION IN AFRICA.
The natives of Portuguese Guinea, on
the west coast of Africa, revolted and

with the Portuguese, the rebels routed
them, killing 400 native allies and four
Portuguese officers.

OF Austria, today killed his wife and
