LONDON, Aug. 0.-N Hon Tile house VI
commons adjourned today 346 members
had been sworn in and had signed the
roll. 1t was good days work, and
was devoid of the Solemnity sometimes
associated with oath-taking. A number
of the members simply affirmed, includ-

ers, and Mr.. Naoroji. the Parsee. Sew

OH. Keir Hardie. the La borst, with
boorish ostentatiOn, walked p'the floor
of the house, keeping his hat on until
he was called to order by the speaker,
when he reluctantly took it off. He has
already acquired in the house the
character of pugnacious lout; but
the house has lashed him into
decorum. Even Michael Davitt took the
oath without sign of protest, and was
at once surrounded by CONTEMPLATING
members, who were glad to hail him as
Fenian convict. The Newcastlists
have selected wealthy London mer-
chant, Mr.. Rallah, to contest the seat
against Mr.. Morley. Mr.. Rallah has
consented to run. The series of confer
ences between the leaders of the Irish
party and Mr.. Gladstone has definitely
resulted in such mutual confidence as
promises to expedite greatly the advent
of home rule in Ireland. The accept
ance by John Morley of the post of chief
secretary for Ireland was point upon
which the chiefs of the McCarthyite fac

ed to him by Gladstone that no other
minister would SO fully command the
support of the Irish members of parlia-
ment. In an interview today with a
representative of the Associated Press,
John Dillon expressed the satisfaction
of the Irish party at the prospect of Mr..
Morley'S holding the post during the
critical period in the progress of the
home rnle bill. Referring to the reports
printed in some of the English papers
that certain Irish members might take
office under Mr.. Morley, Mr.. Dillon said
that such thing was next to impoSsi-
bic. No member of the party, he de-
clared. would dare to accept place
under any English government.

cept no post except under a purely
Irish administration when we get it:
aud any man violating that rule would
be expelled from the party. You do
not hear OF any one aiming at place

English papers are entirely wrong in
regard to the matter"
The ParnelI Bill.
When asked whether he could COM
Illuminate what notifications Mr.. Glad
stone had made in his home rule bills,
Mr.. Dillon replied that he was not at
liberty TO say anything except that the
bill was likely to be one that MIR. Par
nell would have accepted, adding:
I'VE will not take anything less. Mr..
Gladstone knows that our position in
the matter is definite and infieXible. He
has pledged himself to place home rule
in front of all other measures, and to
keep it there until it is passed. be-
lievo we can rely upon his intention to
do this. Regarding the notifications
of the original bill, the most important

of our numbers. Mr. Gladstone
knows that his other notifications
in the bill as accepted by Mr.. Parnell
we will not go back on. We have no
reason to suppose that the Liberal
leaders contemplate giving us less,
but il any change should occur altering
their policy, we will at once suspend
our support of the Liberal government.
The American press ought to know that
our position IS one of entire independ-
ence. Our alliance with the Liberals is
to carry home rule. By that we shall
abide. To show our independence we
have decided to

to the Liberal government; but we will

longer"
when do you expect Mr.. Gladstone
to introduce the home rule bill ?' Mr..
Dillon was asked.
LAS soon as the house reassembles in
January or early in February. We do
not expect an autumn session. The
house is likely to adjourn next Friday"
Abiding to Mr.. Blake'S cOpiOus euIO-
gums of MIR. Parnell and Mr. Parnell's
policy at the Eighty club dinner, the
Associated Press representative sug-
gested that these things indicated rap
prochement with the Parnellites. Mr..
Dillon replied that he knew of nothing
pointing to friendlier relations with the
Parnellites, and that no commuuica-
tons pointing that way had been ex-
changed recently. Mr.. Blake, in his
speech and general bearing approving
Mr.. Parnel's policy. was like the other
Irish members. The majority were so
united that they did not require to 60
out of their way to concilate the faction
lists, though they would be glad to re-
ceive them back. The majority's meet
ings were held under bond of secrecy,
but he Dillon could say they were
tending toward harmony in the party.
The Associated Press representative,
in colIating the views of other Nc
Carthyites in the lobby of the house of
commons, found the odtline of the home
rule bill given in these dispatches on
June "a confirmed by the whole tenor of
information given them by the Liberal
