IRISH MRMsERs' VIEWS.
Mr.. Harrington said he had listened to some
Of Mr.. Gladstone's remarks with anxiety. He
felt bound to warn the liberals that some ques-
lions required immediate attention. He regret
tod Mr.. 0ladstones scant dismissal Of the case
Of evicted tenants. They bad borne the brunt
Of the battle and had made the greatest sacri-
Aoss for their class. He did not think their case
presented an insupsrable difficulty. Again, II
the amnesty question was neglected it would
cause q fresh asitstion and fresh trouble II
the liberal party was wise 1t would give specific
pledges to satiafy Ireland on these matters.
Mr.: Redmond predicted that the Irish parlia-
ment would be e free from interference on the
part Of Rome a. from interference on the part
Of the British parliament The tory collapse,
he said, must Indeed be complete when they
put up Col. Sanderson.
Nh. oLApsTos1's CONDITION.
During the hour and quarter which hs con.
sumed in his speech, Mr.. Gladstone showed all
his wonted energy Of style and harmonious
resonance Of voice. No one could have i'm
agined that q medical consultation on the
speakers condition had occurred only an hour
before he made his appearance in the house,
and that he bad boon earnestly entreated 70 re-
frsin from abandoning himself TO his old i'm
pulses and to hoard his strength by shortening
his Grafton.
Not until after the speech had been delivered,
whsn Mr.. Gladstone Immediately left the house,
did even his colleagues learn that he was still
feeling the effects Of his recent illness. He had
been advised not to wait the developments Of
the debate, but to return to the country and
take rest. Before he began to speak Mr..
Gladstone took q drink of his customary slim
ulsnt-sherry aip-and during the delivery OF
his speech he had occsaional recourse TO the
same drink. As soon as he had concluded his
address he left for Mr.. Stuart Rendell's country
seat, Hatchlands, where he will remain till
Thursday.
Both sides Of the house admitted the dex-
terity Of his speech and admired the unfaltering
80 tnA L. A.
Of neatly turned sentences, suggesting much,
yet committing himself to little.
Mr.. Balfour's response to Mr.. Gladstone was
not the great effort that was expected. The
conservative press had led the public to believe
that he was preparing strong vindication Of
dictment Of Mr.. Gladstone's clever speech,
frightened with some touches Of sardonic hu-
NOR, but it seldom reused enthusiasm, even on
his own side.
The house was oppressively crowded until Mr..
Balfour had concluded his speech.
DIVISION TOMORROW.
1t has been arranged to suspend the midnight
rule on Thursday SO as to enable the house to
effect division.
Mr.. Gladstone ignored the request Of the
labor members, addressed 20 him earlier In the
day, to make some reference to an eighthour
bill. When the house adjourned until Thurs
day. Mr.. Healy. supported by Earl Compton,
protested against the unnecessary delay Of the
division, accusing the government of using the
delay for jobbery in Ireland. Forty appoint
ments, they said, had been made in ireland
since Saturday.
The liberal whips expect majority Of thirty
six or thirty-eight on the division.
The Standard SAYS that the Redmondites, who
we're much dissatisfied with Mr.. Gladstone's
met after the speech and decided
that although the assurances are vague and I'M
satisfactory, they will vote with the Glad
stonians, reserving entire freedom Of action for
the future.
