The House of Commons Votes s'No Conf
dence" In Salisbury and His Cabinet.
LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE House of Com
mons tonight voted mo confidence" in the
Tory Cabinet by a majority of forty. Sails
bury must now give way to Gladstone.
The debate on the address in reply to the
Queens speech was resumed this afternoon
by Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, the leader of
the Liberal Unionists. He said that the
Liberal Unionists' influence was not meas
ured by their numbers. In Parliament
they remained an undoubted political
force, not lessened by their opponents call
ing them political apostates or an ill
starred abortion. He agreed that the
issue between the Unionists and Home
rulers had been decided tor time by the
country. bat when Mr.. Gladstone went on
to shy thtt 1t was irrelevant to do any thing
moro than expel the government without
asking what would follow he must protest.
Tho coming government had been rightly
described a. nebular hypothesis. 1t was
SO of the Unionists. Mr.. Gladstone
was not consistent. for while refusing to
explain his policy he gave answers in writ
ing to Mr. Justin McCarthy's questions.
Was 1t not hard measures when 3l5
Unionist must not ask a single question and
the Nati0nalists could ask five and get civil
answers to tbems Nowadays powerfultsl-
esc0pes forced nebular bodies to disclose
their secrets and resolved them into COM
ponent atoms. Mr.. Mccarthy must have
the most powerful of these instruments
MIR. Redmond must wish to borrow it,
Laughter. The present situation was un-
paralleled In England's political history.
Hitherto vote of want of confidence in
the government implied confidence in the
pnrty replacing them. The present ODpOsi-
tion. If intact, could put the government
in q minority of forty. but the new govern
ment might lind itself in minority of one
hundred at almost the first breath of its
existence.
Mr.. Chamberlain continued at great
length, criticlsing the policy of the Liber-
aie. and severely arraigning Gladstone. He
was several times interrupted by Mr.. Nor
ley and Others. Sir John Lubbock and Sir
, Henry James, Liberal UnlOnists. next spoke.
CHAPLIN SHOUTED DOWN.
Mr.. Chaplin, President of the Board of
Agriculture, then rose to speak. but was
treated with such storm Of shouts of
divide. divide" that his voice was IN
81 d,bir. Mr.. Chaplin resumed his seat. but
the Speaker loudly called for order and re-
called Mr.. Chaplin. The latter in his
past speeches of Mr.. Gladstone
that the task of preserving the
supremacy of Parliament and yet giving
Ireland control of her own affairs, was il.
lusory and impossible. Mr.. Chaplin's re-
marks were continually interrupted by
lronical Irish cheers and rene we'd cries of
Divide" and the Speaker was again
obliged to beg patient hearing for Mr.
Chaplin. The House then remained quiet

Morley crew, which observation caused
another uprOar. lasting several minutes,
and drowning Mr.. Chaplin's remarks.
offered to lay q sporting wager that the
new government would not survive an
ordinary session, which offer caused the
House TO break into shouts of laughter.
Presently friend placed fresh glass of
water on box where Mr. Chapiin's notes
lay, and accidentally scattered the papers.
The whole assembly joined the Irish In
screams of laughter over Mr.. Chaplin's dis
comfiture. Mr.. Chaplin himself complained
that such q reception had never before
been accorded responsible Minister.
The Speaker thcn rose to put tho ques-
tion on Mr. Asquith's motion, and was
ans~ cred with thunderOus volume OF
yeas and nays from the respective sides of
the House. The strangers having with
drawn from the precincts of the chamber.
the Speaker repeated the usual formula of
putting the question, and was again greeted
with sustained and vehement replies. The
House divided at midnight When Mr..
Gladstone returned from the lobby the
whole Liberal party rose and cheered him.
The tellers appeared at 1925 A. NJ. with
the paper containing the mum bers showing
the result of the division and handed the
paper to Arnold Morley, the Liberal whip.
This was the signal for volley OF Liberal
cheers and Irish shouts OF .Mitchelstown;"
Down with Balfouriem," ETC.. and it was
some time before Mr.. Morley was able to an
nounce the figures. The result announced
was-for tho motion. $50; against the mo-
tioh. 80. Thea there was fresh display
of enthusiasm. Tho noise having sub
sided, Mr.. Baliour and the whole body of
Conservatives rose. and amid prolonged
acclaims. Mr.. Balfour moved that the
Honsa adjourn until Thursday next The
motion was agreed to.
INCIDENTS OF THE SESSION.
If to-night's proceedings in Parliament
had not been invested with the historic In
terest attached to the fall of the govern
mont the House would not havo tolerated
the protrncted dullness of the debate after
Mr.. Cham berlain spoke. But for some
minor members of the opposition seizing
chance TO get hearing. tho House would
have divided before the dinner hour.
With stolid patience and devoid of every
appearance of excitement. the House
waited the decisive moment OF
the division. The gravity of the
occasion was seen In tho crowds
waiting in the palace yard till past mid
night. the groups filling the lobbies and
packed In The galleries within the House.

when Mr.. Gladstone first introduced home
rule. chairs had 20 be brought in to seat
the members blocked out of the galleries.
For the first time in the history or British
Parllanents did the. members muster their
full strength within ten. The Peers gal
lery was we'll occupied. The diplomatic
gallery was so full that MessrG Lincoln,
tho American minister ana Hntzfeldt. the
German ambassador, who arrived late,
found seats with some difficulty.
As the night wore on, members got rest
less and interrupted every speaker with
cries of divide. divide" They wandered
wearily In and ont of the House and sent
protests TO the whips for . vote without
delay. But the whips difficulty was that
there were several members who were un-
abie to arrive till IL O'clock and the House
had to be kept going under mutual ar-
rsngement till midnight In the lobby
mon beguiled the tedium by speculating on
the exact number Of v0tos the division
would show. At midnight every possible
vote Was within call of the whips
and the voting commenced. The teilers
for the amendment were Mr. Arnold Morley
aud Mr.. Jajoribanks and those for the
government were Mr.. Akers- Douglas and
