LONDON, Sept 9.-A significant feat
ure of the home rule discussion in the
house of lords is the fact that special
police force has been ordered tO report
or duty in Palace yard, in front Of the
house of parliament,in order to DC ready
for immediate action in case Of a hostile
demonstration against the lords when
the latter leave the building after di-
vision on the home rule bill. The house
of lords was crowded when The Earl of
CranbrOok, Conservative, resumed the
debate on the home bill. The lord high
chancellor, Lord Herschell, during the
course OF his able plea for The bill
asked, if things were left alone, would
there be no danger from the American
sympalhiZerS with the cause of lreIand.
Lord Herschell admitted the difficulty of
framing home rule measure which
would not be open to objection. But he
reminded his hearers they must not for
get that small number of men of En-
glish blood framed the United States
constitution, which had stood the test
of a hundred years, and which had
been the admiration of the world.
Surely" ne continued. 1--WE are not
reduced to such Il state of impotence as
TO be unable to improve the relations

The house of lords presented brill
liant taDd almost unprecedented spec
tacle when alto D. IN. Lord Salisbury
rose todeliver the last speech in oppOsi-
tiOn TO the home rule bill. The house
was filled in every part with people TO
hear the .-..-
.:., DECISION OF THE LORDS
upon the measure which had been so
long debated in and out of parliament.
Not only was the house itself iiied with
peers, but all corridors and approaches
thereto were packed with people eager
to be in at the DEATH" as one young
lordling remBrked. Among those who
stood patiently in this curious crowd
were numbers of priYy councillors, high
officials and brigadeS of sons of peers,
gathered there 10 admire the efforts of
the heads of their families. TO
man they had discounted the verdict
and might be said TO have been only
anxious to hear the figures under which
the bill so dear to Ireland would be
SmOtbered. Prominent among the
gathering crowd were the Rt. Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain. the Rt. Hon. Ar
thur James Balfour, late chief secre-
tary for Ireland, and host of minor
lights of the British political world.
The United States minister, Thomas F.
BaYard, was also present, and received
much tiattering attention from many of
the prominent parliameutarians pres
ent. The side galleries were filled with
duchesses and cOuntesses. their
daughters and other ladies lucky
enough TO obtain admission. The peers
were all in evening dress and fairly
BLAZING WITH JEWELS. 4
In the diplomatic gallery could be
noticed the German, Austrian and
Turkish ambassadors, the latter wear
ing the traditional fez. The clergy of
Great Britain were well represented.
no less than seventy bishops, including
the primate of all England Qhe arch
bishop of Canterbury, awaited the divi-
sion. Lord Salisbury was long and
loudly cheered when lie stood I'D to
make the closing speech, and it was
some time before he was allowed to
proceed.
IN 10 reason has been given by the
government" said he, during the course
of his remarks, "for introducing the
bill. Every speaker on the govern
mentS side has displayed the greatest
ingenuity in avoiding a discussion of
the merits of the bill. The proposed
retention of the Irish members in the
house of commons is an outrage so enor-
nous and grOtesque that | am surprised
that any responsible government has
dared to suggest it. All the arguments
OF the government showed that their
policy was
ONE OF DESPAIR.
''They had no right to take step
which endangered the existence, happi-
ness and prosperity of the majority of
the Irish people. [Cheers The men
who would govern Ireland, should the
bill pass, are those who have been
found guilty of criminal conspiracy.
Should we not be in an Infinitely
worse position than at present if we in
trusted Ireland to such men in the
event of trouble with the United States
or any other foreign power? If you
allowed this atrociOus. treacherous bill
to pass, you would be untrue to the duty
which has descended to you from
splendid ancestry" Prolonged cheers. |
The Earl of Kimberly LiberaD, twice
secretary of state for the colonies. lord
president of the council, followed the
Marquis of Salisbury, and spoke for
the bill on behalf of the government.
The earfs remarks failed to make any
decided impression upon his hearers.
AT the close of his speech division was
taken. The latter proceeding lasted
over all hour, and resulted in a vote of
419 against the bill and IL in favor of it.
In the street an immense crowd
awaited the announcement of the re-
suit of the division. A strong detach-
ment of police mingled with the crowd,
or were drawn up in front Of the en-
trance to the building. When the result
finally reached the people, it was re-
celved with vociferOus cheering. Here
and there a knOt0f men would start

approval of the verdict of the people,
