ENGLAND'S PARLIAMENT.
THE MOVEMENT FOR THE ExPUL-
SION OF DE COBAIN.

Gladstone's Home Rule Scheme De-
clared by Mr.. Chamberlain Still an
Unknown Quantity-The Demand of
the Liberals as to the Evacuation of
Egypt - Release OF the Treason
Felony Prisoners Asked.
LONDON, Feb. 11.--In the House of Com
mons to-day Mr.. Balfour moved, and Sir
Vernon Harcourt seconded, that Mr.. De
Cobain, member for Belfast, now a fugitive
from justice, be notified TO attend the ses-
sion OF the House on Tuesday, Feb %. The
motion was adopted. This is a move pre-
paratory TO the expulsion of Mr.. De Cobain.
Joseph Chamberlain, leader of the liberal
unionists, In resuming the debate on the
address of the queens speech, twitted the
opposition with still not knowing what
home rule scheme Mr. Gladstone intended
TO submit. He also twitted them concern
ing their wavering policy in regard to the
evacuation Of Egypt.
WHAT THE LIBERALS DEMAND.
John Morley, Mr.. Gladstone's lieutenant,
replied that the liberals had not asked for the
instant evacuation OF Egypt, but they were
opposed to Lord Salisbury acting as il
England had rights beyond those from the
mandatory powers. Regarding the Irish local
government bill, Mr. Morley said the liberals
knew that whatever Mr.. Balfour's proposals
were, they were only stepping stone TO a
larger and safer measure. The time would
soon come tn end the unseemly conduct of
certain members calling themselves liberals,
while denouncing the liberal principles.

THE TREAsoN-FELoNY PRISONERS.
John Redmond, in proposing an amend-
or 4 hA ra1o Of 81.
prisoners, repudiated any sympathy with
dynamiters. He vindicated the innocence of
Daily and Egan. If there was a shadow of
doubt in their cases, it demanded that an
other inquiry be made. He had seen Egan,
who declared that life in Portland prison
was killing him. Daily, Mr. Redmond said,
had been poisoned by accident. Three
times Mr.. Matthews, the home secretary,
had held that these prisoners were fairly
treated that they were dynamite not politi-
cal convicts. and that their sentences ought
TO run the usual course.
Matthews said that the government had
proot that DAILY had asked for and received
money and bombs from New York He
declined TO produce this proof. Daly's sug-
gestion that he had been a victim of the
police was unfounded. Egan's offence, the
home secretary said, was the lesser one.
The time might come when it would be pos
sible to reconsider his case.
POLICE PROTECTION FOR IRrsHMEN.
In the House Of Lords to-day the Marquis
of Londonderry asked whether it was true
that John Dillon, William O'Brien and
Timothy healy, all members of tho House
of Commons. bad at their own request been
accorded police protection in ireland.
Earl Cadogan, the lord privy seal, replied
that police protection had been accorded
the gentlemen named, but further than that
he declined to say anything.
The Marquis Of Londonderry reminded
the House that these persons" only recently
went about posing as the idols Of the Irish
people. They had denounced executive
power in the most violent language for hav-
ing them "shRdowed," but now they were
extremely glad to avail themselves OF shad-
owing for their protection.
TWO RAGING FACTIONS.
The marquis said that protection han been
conceded them because two raging factions
existed in Ireland who were breaking each
others heads and who we're ready to shed
each others blood. It was to the interest of
the unionists to let the English people under
stand the condition Of the Irish parties,
in order that they might realize how abb
surd and dangerous it would be to grant the
Irish any measure of home rule tnat would
place the loyal minority at the tender
mercies OF such men. If Earl Cadogan was
unable to give satisfactory explanation In
reply to the question asked him he, the
Marquis Of Londonderry. would raise the
whole question OF protection in a separate
motion.
Lord Salisbury said that the government
could not be expected 10 divulge the infor-
nation it received in confidence
The Marquis of Londonderry intmated
that he would make a formal motion,
