LONDON. Arg. 9.--In the house of COM
mons today the first matter taken up was
the case Of Eeen, the invincible, sentenced
to imprisonment under the crimes act. Tho
homo secretary said he could not hold out
hopes for Egsn's release very soon.
Lowther, parliamentary secretary of the
foreign Office, announced that the British
East African company had instructed its
officers to leave Uganda by Aug. 81.
Gladstone now began his speech against
the government. He said that the govern
ment leaders had departed from all prece-
dents in not resigniDg when the verdict of
the country was against them.
The house had now met, but what for, as
the queens speech told them nothing. Was
the house of commons to fight the battles
of the last six years over agains Never
had great issue submitted to the country
been SO fully discussed as the issue decided
ct the last general election.
Continuing, Gladstone said that Goshen's
remark that Home Rule must be carried
out by the Irish majority if carried out at
all, was no point as the majority in the
house was no more Irish than Scotch or
Welsh. Such an argument struck at the
root of the constitution of the kingdom.
The Conservatives said, in speeches, that
the Liberals Home Rule would not always
be prominent. The verdict of the people
as shown in the country, has meant 1t to
be prominent, and therefore to put en- end
to the present government. lie said the
coercion bill ought not to be re-
tanned on the statute book longer than
required by parliamentary usage. Glad
stone credited the present government with
aversion of the national debt, but COM
pl aimed that they inflicted gross wrong
In making a pretended roperRtion which
WAS too limited to satisfy the lrieh or offer
any solution of the Irish trouble. He &C
knowledged that he must have some light
upon the future, aud that it was not possI-
bic for the Liberal government to say
what measures they would submit to par
Lament six months hence.
In regard TO the suggested holding of g
Session in November, ne said that any gov
eminent taking that course would show en-
inadequate sense of gratitude to the variety
of subjects it had to deal with.
Ireland for years has been in the fore
front of the battle and still held that posi-
ton. The principles of his Homo Rule bill !
were we'll known BY its provisions there |
OF the imperial supremacy, while Ireland
would be- given the privilege of conducting
her own atfairs. The Irish representation |
in the commons also contemplated the IN
certain conditions as to the torn in which
the principles would be embodied, and 1t |
was the duty of the Liberals to select the |
best, but not until they have been placed in |
power. For seven years the bill received /
his first and absorbing attention and it
will 80 continue till the end. The house |
would pass the bill giving ireland SELF
government and it would then go to the |
lords. He would not argue upon the prob
ability of the lords rejecting tbs bill. The
objections of the Liberal government |
would utterly forbid the acquiesance in /
the rejection of the obligations 10 promote
Q settlement OF the great subject. He sad |
there were various
MEASURES OF REFORM
which the Liberals would endeavor to pass
while i'll power. In regard to the eyicted !
tenants Gladstone expressed tho hope |
that in the autumn voluntary arrange |
ment between landlord and tenant
would obviate the necessity or such leRis-
lation as would become inevitable if no ar
engagements wore made.
In concluding his speech Gladstone re- |
ferred TO the conservative argument that
the Irish majority was trying TO coerce |
England. He held that such was the |
strength of England in relation to other
Kingdoms that abe never could be coerced |
by them.
Balfour followed Gladstone He main |
tanned that the commons had the right to |
know before entrusting the government to
liberals what their policy WIS.
In regard to the proposed vote OF "No !
Confidence" continued Balfour, the gov
eminent might be in the minority, but
what was it the majority had in that
molly GROUP OF THE HOUSE
before tie government resigned; they had
no right TO ask what were the conditions
under which the alliance between the Lib
erals and Irish would be main tanned, what
conditions there were between the Nation
alists who has been squared and those who
had not been squared, and what demands
had been made upon the Liberals when
they came into power. If disturbances
arose in Ireland was the disorder to have
free handl Was it part of tho sew compact
that Daily and other convicted dynamiters !
should be let loose upon the worlds
Lieutenant Colonel Edward James |
Saunderson Conservative made canter- |
ing speech in which he charged that Rome |
would influence the Irish factions. saying
that the chief members OF Gladstone's |
cabinet would in reality be an irish bishop.
Redmond predicted that the Irish parlia- !
ment would be as free from Interference
on the part of Rome as from interference
on the part of the British parliament.
The interest in tonight's debate was
heightened by curiosity as to how Glad
stone would respond to the demands for
mulated by Mccarthy and Redmond for the |
assurance of matters of the early suspen-
sion of the coercion act, evicted tenants in |
Ireland and the release of imprisoned Irish |
dynamiters.
The talk in the lobby charged McCarty |
with al attempt to embarrass Gladstone,
but as Gladstone proceeded with his speech
it became evident that Mccarthy had ar |
ranged with the Liberal leader to PROFOUND |
q series of demands sounding rather por-
tentious, but refusing no unusual de-
nouncement on the part Of the greatest
parliamentary tacticlan living to dispose of.
