Dillon and O'Brien Accorded Police Pro-
tection by Their Own Rannest

LONDON, Feb. lin the House of Lords
to-day the Marquis of Londonderry asked
whether it was true that Messrs. John
Dillon, William OBrien and Timothy
Healy, all members of the House of Conf
mons, mad al their own request been ac-
corded police protection in Ireland?
Earl Cadogan, lord privy seal, replied
that police protection had been accorded to
the gentlemen named, but further than
that he declined to say anything.
Inc Marquis of Londonderry reminded
the house that these PERSONS only re-
Gently went about posing as idols Of the
Irish people. They had denounced the
executive power in the most violent Ian.
guage for having them "shadowed,n but
now they were extremely glad TO avail
themselves OF ''shadowingn for their pro-
lection.
The marquis further said that protection
had been conceded to them because two
raging factions existed in Ireland who
were breaking each others heads and who
were ready to shed each others blood Ii
was to the interest of the lnionists to let
the English people understand the condi-
ton OF the Irish parties in order that thev
might realize how absurd and dangerous
1t would be to grant tine Irish any measure
OF home rule that would place the loyal
minority at the tender mercies OF such
men. II Earl Cadogan was unable to give
satisfactory explanation in reply TO the
question asked him, he, the Marquis of
Londonderry would raise the whole ques-
tlon OF protection in separate motion
Lord Salisbury said that the govern
ment could not be expected to diyulee in
formation it had received in confidence.
The Marquis of Londonderry intimated
that he would make formal motion.
In the house of commons to-day Mr.
Joseph Chamberlain. the leader Of the
Liberal Unionists, in resuming the debate
OH the address in reply to the queens
speech, twitted the opposition with still
not knowing what homerillc scheme Mr..
Gladstone intended to submit. He twtted
them also concerning their wavcring
policy in regard to the evacuation Of
Egypt.
The Right Hon. John Morley, member
for Newcastle-upon Tyne Mr.. tiladstonc's
lieutenant, replied that the Liberals had
not asked for the instant evacuation of
Egypt, but they were opposed to Lord
Salisbury acting as if England had rights
beyond those from mandatory powers.
Regarding the Irish local government
bill, Mr.. Morley said the Liberals knew
that whatever MIR, Balfour's proposals
were they were only stepping stone to a
larger and safer measure. The time would
soon come to end the unscemly conduct Of
certain members calling themselves .iher-
us WHY ASuouuellS LlDerdl principles.
