MOCKERY OF The HOUSE
Is What John Morley Calls the Pro-
posed Irish Bill.
REDMOND SAYS IT'S INSULTING
While Mccarthy Calls IL an Unclean
Thing-The French Ministry Resigns
A Baden Firm is Making Gun Barrels
for Russla-A Tragedy in Cannes.

LONDON. Feb. 19.--In the House OF
Commons yesterday John Morley charac-
terized the proposed Irish bill as "the
rottenest reed the Irish minority had
ever leaned on for the retention of privi-
leges.p He declared that the measure
was framed in absolute distrust OF the
Irish people, in fact, on the assumption
that they were 'debased helots."
The whole opposition broke forth into
cheers when Mr.. Morley called on the
government TO 90 before the country on
the measure In concluding he affirmed
that the bill was mockery offered to
the House, that it was Justification of
the pledges of the government and that
it furnished grounds FOR the manifesto
tion OF further irritation in Ireland.
John Redmond protested against the
measure as a "sham bill"
He said he and his colleagues came un-
prepared to accept IL, even IL 1T had been
. good bill, but the bill was one which
every Irishman would strenuously resist.
The manner in which it was proposed,
was an insult to the Irish. AS for him
self he could not conceive how any gov
ernment could be so full of imbecility as
to go before the country on such a bill
and he would do his uttermost to oppose
its every stage.
81 Justin Mccarthy, in the course OF his
remarks, advised the government to burn
the bill, declaring that the Nationalists
would reject it as san unclean thing
Mr.. Healy said he never knew OF a more
contemplate bill. 1t was an absolute
failure, and died in the mouth of it's pro-
poser.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt said n bill
more insulting to the Irish could not be
conceived of. 1t bore the stamp of Mr..
Cham berlain, who was the "mother" OF
the bill. Sir William ridiculed the idea
of county council of tried judges.
Mr.. Balfour denied that the bill was
insulting to Ireland. The opposition
speeches, he said, showed the insincerity
OF the cry for local government for Ire
land. II, owing to obstruction, the pres
ent bill should not be passed, local gov
ernment for Ireland would be indefinite
ly postponed.
Joseph Chamberlain denied that he had
assisted in the work of framing the bill.
He said he approved of the manner in
which the government had redeemed its
pledges. The safeguards introduced in
the bill in regard to corruption were
those that the Americans, the most Dem
ocratic people in the world, had intro
duced into their constitution. There was
not one of the American States or legisla-
tures but could be brought before the
Supreme Court.

AN ENGLISH CRITIC ON OUR NAVY
Tribute 90 American Energy and
Naval Ability.


The most striking tribute to modern
American shipbuilding which has recently
come from British sources is that Of Capt.
s. EardIey Wilmot, in his treatise on
"The Development of Navies." IL pos
sesses an interest for our country as show
ing what is thought by foreign expert
of the progress effected in naval construc-
ton here within less than ten years; but
its greatest Importance, no doubt, must
be in giving to the critics own country
men some idea of what is going on in
America.
Beginning with the first series of cruis-
ers, undertaken in 1888, his criticism on
the Chicago is that "a lighter and more
homogeneous armament would have
been better" since her main battery car
ries four S-inch. eight 6-inch. and two
5-inch. guns; but he adds that she :" is
undeniably very powerful vessel" Con-
sidering that she and her three compan-
ions, the Atlanta, the Boston, and the
Dolphin, were the first modern cruisers
ever undertaken in this country, he re-
CARDS the success which they have
achieved as highly creditable to all con-
cerned."
To the next five cruisers, the Charleston,
Baltimore, Philadelphia, San Francisco
and Newark, he comedies a maximum
speed varying from eighteen to twenty
knots, and the Baltimore's cruise from
Copenhagen to Lisbon in little over five
DAYS is described as "an excellent per-
formance."
As to guns, warm praise is given to the
rapid creation OF splendid plant and
machinery for construction, and the pro-
duction of the forgings required. "Under
the initiation OF a most able bureau OF
ordnance all this has sprung up, and guns
are now constructed equal in power to any
produced in Europe"
Even i'm torpedoes he thinks that an
American device, the Howell, may be so
improved as eventually to take the place
in our own country of the Whitehead.
As TO the pneumatic gun OF the Vesu-
vius, he thinks il too uncertain for use
against a moving vessel, but capable OF
great destruction against an object whose
position does not change. The praise
awarded in general to our country for re-
lying on its own resources in building its
ships and guns is very hearty:
The conclusion is that this country is
now "fully alive TO the necessity OF hav-
ing a feet commensurate with her posi-
tion, and further, that "before the CEN
tury closes, the United States will prob
ably possess feet recalling the old days
when her wooden walls were to be seen in
every water, easy OF recognition by their
lofty spars, and noted for the smartness
OF their exercises" IL is we'll thus to note
the effect which has been produced on
competent foreign observer by what has
already been done in the building OF our
nayy.--N. Y. Sun.

Action of the Chamber of Deputies Causes
1t to Make Vacancies.
PARIS, Feb. 19.-The ministry has ten
dered it's resignation to President Carnot.
The course of the resignation was the
actiap of the Chamber OF Deputies in con-
nsction with the bill dealing with asso-
Citations. Mr.. Hubbard demanded urgency
for the bin as reply to the attitude Of
the French bishops. M. deCassahnac de-
scribed thebill as an iniquitous measure.
Premier de Freycinet denied that the
message was intended as an act of per-
secution of the church, or that ii need be
regarded as a predecessor of the separation
Of church and state. He warmly COM
mended the counciliatory spirit of the
Pope, who, 1t is said, often gave evidence
Of sympathetic sentiment towards France.
He continued: "We will doubtless be
called upon some day to treat with the
Vatican on the religious question. A por-
ton OF the clergy may possibly refuse to
enter upon the path pointed out TO them;
but universal suffrage will Judge between
the two policies"
In conclusion, M. deFreycinet gave his
assent to the demand for urgency,
though he said that would not give the
measure the significance that Nj. Hubbard
desired. An excited discussion ensued on
M. Hubbard's motion. Finally M. de-
Freycinet again arose and demanded that
aa order of the day be moved indicating
the views of the Chamber on the subject.
M. Boisserin thereupon moved that the
government be requested to continue its
republican policy. Nj. deFreycinet ac-
cepted the motion and intimsted that he
considered 1t a Cabinet question.
The vote of the Chamber being taken,
M. Boisserin's motion was rejected by 304
to 202. The ministers, recognizing their
defeat, immediately left the House in a
body. The Chamber then rejected the
urgency motion by vote OF 2S6 to 246.

This impeaches the testimony of the
officers, who asserted that they did not
