There was unusual animation along
the route from MIR. Gladstone's resi-
dence to the house of commons during
the afternoon The streets. were
crowded with people who wished to
catch glimpse of the great champion
of Irish home rule, and although there
was no organized demonstration the
prime minister was cheered throughout
the route. Mr.. Gladstone was accom-
panied by his wife. He was evidently
much pleased with the
Reartiness of the Greeting
which he received from the populace.
The cheering was continuous, every
man lifted his hat as the carriage
passed, while the women waved hand
kerchiefs The prime minister was
loudly cheered by his followers as he
entered the house and walked to his
seat. The galleries also gave him a
warm greeting Before the debate on
the home rule bill could be resumed
longlist of questions had to be answered.
In reply to question by John Red
mond, Mr. Gladstone said that he would
issue commission upon the financial
relations between England and Ireland
at the beginning of the year.
After the various questions had been
answered Justin Mccarthy, the Irish
leader, resumed the debate on home
rule He was followed by Messrs.
Chamberlain, Wallace. 7. P. O'Connor,
Balfour, Morley and others.
The Bill Passes.
J, P. Nolan, Parnellite home ruler,
then attempted to speak against the
financial clauses Of the bill, but hardly
started when his voice was overcome by
cries Of divide" Therereupon divis-
ion was had upon Mr. Courtney's
amendment to reject the bill, and the
amendment was defeated. The bill was
then put on its third reading and was
passed by vote of Sol to 267.
The full import of the occasion was
felt by the spectators and by the gov
ernment, and the elimination of the
work in the house was accompanied by
rounds of frantic cheers from the gal
leries and upon the floor. A moment
later Mr.. Gladstone entered the house
from the division lobby. He was
greeted at the moment of his victory
by renewed and tumultuous applause.
Mr.. Morley, who followed him, was
also cheered. Mr.. Gladstone received a
fresh ovation as he left the house. The
scenes in front Of the house after mid
night were exciting When the an
nouncement that the house b ad passed
the home rule bill by vote of 301 to
267 was received
The Crowd Went Wild.
They cheered, shouted, sung, smashed
hats and did other absurd things to
show their appreciation of the houses
action. The police were alarmed at
the antics of the people, and Gordon
of bluecoats was forthwith drawn up
before the members exit. The first
member left the palace yard shortly
after o'clock. He was not recognized.
The crowds surged around the cabs and
carriages which were awaiting the
members, and. as each member Of any
distinction was recognized, he was
given a cheer. Mr.. Gladstons's ear
riage, containing the prime minister
and his wife, emerged from the gates
at ten minutes after /. A number of
mounted police instantly surrounded
the carriage, but the crowd, when they
learned who was in the carriage, be-
came beyond control of the police, and,
breaking through the Gordon, stopped
the carriage and held it while they
cheered the
triumphant Champion
of home rule to the echo. The coach
man was enabled to proceed after few
minutes, but by this time the entire
crowd left their positions and started
after the carriage, which was at the
corner of Downing street and delayed
while the crowd cheered and sang. Mr..
Gladstone bowed right and left to his
enthusiastic admirers, and was greatly
touched by the applause. The police
again cleared the way, and the carriage
was allowed to proceed to the premier's
residence without further stoppage.
