LONDON, July 27.-On the government
program 10 o'clock this evening was tie
hour set for the closure of debate in c:m-
mittee on the home rule bill. The gal
1eries were 6lled with persons expectant of
an exciting scene and few members were
absent. The proceedings early in the
evening were tame. John Clancy, Par
nellite, moved an amendment to tie ef
feet that the imperial government should
guarantee to Ireland 100000 annually
during the provisional period of six
years.
Mr.. Gladstone declined to scsept the
amendment. The financial scheme under
discussion, he said, provided fully for the
equitable. even liberal treatment of the
new Irish government. If the careful es-
Inmates were realized, Ireland would have
9512, 900 annually assured her.
Mr.. Goschen, ex chancellor Of the ex-
chequer, also spoke against Mr.. Clancy's
motion. Obscure members continued the
debate until 9:45. Then Joseph Chamber
lain rose to deliver the final broadside of
the opposition. He was still smarting un-
der the lash which Mr.. Gladstone swung
on Tuesday, and spoke with corresponding
bitterness. After few soornful and bit
ing words as to the conduct of the minis
ters he gave his opinion of the closure as
applied by the government. The members,
he said, were about to witness the last
scene in discreditable farce. The debate
on the financial clauses had been q mere
sham. The Irish members as we'll as the
unionists were anxious to discuss at
length the important financial questions
presented by the new clauses, but such
discussion WAS to be cut short. The bill
had been changed in it's most vital features;
still no debate was regarded as necessary,
since whatever was altered in the bill was
always found perfect by the adherents of
the premier.
Jeers from the Irish, cheers from the
unionists and counter-oheers from the lib
erals interrupted Mr.. chamberlain. He
fusion abated. He then proceeded thus:
''The premier calls black and his ed
herents say it is good. The premier calls
white and his adherents say 1t is better
(Unionist laughter). 1t is always the voice
of God. Never, since the time of Herod,
has there been such"-Mr Chamberlain got
no further.
Immediately after resuminR his epeech
he had been warned by mutteriDgs from
the Irish benches that storm was gath
ering. With his half finished reference to
Herod there came from the nationallsts
such a roar of indignation as has not been
heard in the house since the days of Par
nell.
Mr.. Chamberlain plainly was startled,
but he tried to talk on.
His voice was inaudible to the members
on the next bench. Shrill yells of exeera-
ton sounded above the uprosr.
7. P. O'Connor shouted "Judas" 80
loud that the epithet could be heard
throughout the house. The TEST of the
Irishmen took up the cry and for half
minute shouted Judas" in chorus
Meantime the clock struck 10. Chairman
Mellor tried to put the closure, but his
vo!cs could not be heard amid the shouts
of the Irish and the unionists. Mr. Mellcr
gave, in a weak voice, the customary d.
rections to clear the house for a division.
As the disorder subsidized preparations
were made to execute these directions
The conservatives, however, fatty refused
to quit the house. Weary Gibbs, Gibson
BeRles and William Hsnbury shouted to
the chairman that he must first call Mr.
O'Connor to order for having called Mr.
Chamberlain names.
Mr.: Mellor protested that he-Aad not
heard the epithets in question. Nobody
told him what Mr.. O'Connor had said, SO
he sat helpless. while the members crowd
ed forward in excited groups, shaking their
fsts and shouting their dema"ds. Gibbs,
Bowles and Hsndbury shouted in chorus
at Mr.. Mellor: "Will you direct that those
words be taken down?"
Lord Randolph Churchill and Mr. Ed
| ward Clarke then started Mr.. Gibbs for
the front bench that he might explain the
cause of the row to Mr.. Mellor. Mr.Gibbs
tried to 60 forward, but was so pushed
about and confused that he gave up his
purpose, and Mr.. Mellor remained unin.

Curses, yells of pain and gross insults
were heard on every side. John Logan

and began upbraiding Edward Carson, 8
tory. As he shook his fist under Mr. Car
sons nose, George Wyndham and William
