London, Feb. 2O.-The occurrences of the week in
Parliament beginning with Mr. MOrley's caustic speech
on Mr. Balfour, eliminated tonight In Mr.. Gladstonc's
rather mild deliSerancc in favor Of the disestabs-
ment OF the Church in Wales greater interest than
usual arose from the uncertainty to how Mr. Glad
stone would speak and vote. To private appeals to
sneak in support Of Morgan's motion for disestab
lishment. he recalled his declaration made in tho
House of Commons in 1870. In which he contended
that dsesablishment in Wales meant discstab,l
ment in England that the historic identity was alb
solute and that there no analogy with the Irish
disestabshment. When reminded that he voted in
favor of scotch dsesablishment in 1900. he replied
again that the analogy did not hold. but he promised to
re-examne the question. His arguments tonight that
an enormous majority Of the Welsh outside the
pale the Church and that the opinion Of the people
expressed in constitutional manner demanded an
eouable settlement with the heartiest response
