LONDON, Aug. 13.-The Daily News,
describing the scene in parliament
Thursday, said:
"The members crowded the galleries,
sat in pairs on the steps of the gang
way, swarmed around the speakers
chair and stood in dense throng at the
bar. 1t was n magnificent audience,
and Mr. Chamberlain played upon it
with the skill of a master of parlia-
mentary debate. He commenced his
speech in a studiously quiet manner.
Referring to Mr.. Healy's action at
the adjournment of the house on
Tuesday, in the gentlest tones, he
said he noted that whenever it was de-
sired to exhibit discourtesy toward any
man or to any woman, he added, after u
significant pause, Healy presents him
self to accomplish 1t, The house was
hugely delighted Mt Mr. Chamberlain's
pun-that Labouchere be called upon
to reconcile the interests of the cabinet
with the interests of truth. Mr.. Cham
berlain's peroration was delivered
with much more appearance of pas
sion than he usually permits himself to
show When Sir Henry James asked
whether Bright and Villiers were apos-
tates, or whether those were who, to
gain place and power, changed their
principles, he turned and angrily point
ed at Mr.. Gladstone, whereat the con-
servatives loudly cheered, while Mr..
Gladstone sat silent, probably thinking
of how he had, for conscience's sake, in
1886, broke up one of the biggest ma
jorities of modern times, and had gone
forth into the shades of the opposition.
After a deprecatory shout, leading
Right Hon. Henry Chaplain, who was
delivering a speech, to resume his seat,
the conservatives shouted for Sir Will
liam Vernon Harcourt, who only smiled
and stroked his chin.
when Mr.. Chaplain had spoken for
forty-five minutes DIR. Tanner walked
up to him with glass of water in his
hand. Mr.. Chaplain, however took no
notice of Dr. Tanners action, and
calmlyproceeded with his speech"
The Post: "A sight more earnest or
impressive than Fridays scene in par
lament has rarely been witnessed
within the walls of St Stephens. AL
though defeated the Unionists will re-.
assemble undiminished in numbers and
unfailing in resolution. Mr.. Gladstone
will have to deal with the strongest
and most united minority that ever as
sembled in parliament"
The News: The government of
pledge coercionists is virtual
ly dead. 1t is noticeable that the whole
of Mr.. Chamberlain's remarks were ad-
dressed to the liberals. That does not
look as if he thought the tories had any
future or he anything tc gain by going
over to them.
The Standard (conservative): In the
face of challenges from which no body
of statesmen with the smallest sense of
dignity would venture to finch, the
Gladstonians have sat, uneasily, it is
true, but still with closed lips
The Daily Chronicle QiberaD The
single effective point that Mr. Chamber
lain made in his speech was that Mr..
Gladstone will hold office for six months
without defining his policy.
The Pail Mall Gazette QiberaD: Mr..
Gladsones triumph is Mr. Parnell's
also. Twenty years ago Mr.. Parnell
had not even entered parliament. Be
fore he died he had converted nine out
of ten Irishmen against revolutionary
methods. The effect of the division is
irrevocable. Difficulties and delays in
home rule there may be, but its final
adoption is now inevitable.
The St James Gazette (conservatiye),
under the caption of "Leaping Into
Darkness" says: The government was
elected by majority simply going it
blind for the Grand Old Man and half
understood idea.
