Exciting Scenes In the House of Conn
mons-Clause Five of the Irish
Home Rule Bill Forced Through
the Committee-Membe Worked
Steadily and Made Rapid Progress.
LONDON, July 6.-The house of commons
tonight WAS crowded with persons eager
forced through the committee. The mem
bers worked steadily. Only an occasional
ebullition of unionist resentment or bitter
ness disturbed the proceedings.
At $40 Mr.. Balfour, leader of the union
lists, began speaking. He was in the mid
die of a sentence when Big Ben struck 10
O'Clock. He did not wait to finish 1t, but
resumed his seat amid desfening oppo-
sition cheers and cries of SHANE" and
''gag." Almost Immediately Chairman
Aellor put the question of the last union
ist amendment. Cheers and counter cheers
resounded as Mr.. Gladstone and colleagues
trooped out into the division lobby. Some
of the tories shouted "gag" and "ooer-
cion." They were answered with Irish
cheers and the waving of Irish hats.
The amendment was lost by a vote of
1924 to 1856. AS the leaders returned from
the Hobbies all the members were on their
feet to receive them with cheers and wav-
ing hats. Clause s, which concerns the
irish executive authority, was then passed
by a vote of 1924 to 2S9.
Clause 6, which provides for an Irish
parliament, with legislative council of
48 members, was passed without debate.
The vote was 315 to 300. Henry Lsbou-
ohere, radical, John Burns, labor, Charles
Conybeare, radical, and Gavin Brown
Clarke, radical, went with the opposition
in this division, so as to make known their
disapproval of the creation of An Irish
house of lords. The smallness of the ma
jority and the preparations of the govern
ment to proceed with the passage of clause
8 caused intense excitement throughout
the house. The conservatives howled and
the Irish howled back, while the liberals
cheered with might and main.
Chairman Mellor tried to obtain the at
tention of the house, but his voice was
lost in the volume of opposition cheers.
Eventually the exhaustion of the unionists
gave him an opportunity to put the ques-
ton of clause Z, which provides for the
constitution of an Irish legislative assem-
bly,.
Sir James Ferguson, conservative, ex-
claimed: "There are blanks in this clause.
We do not know what it means. How can
we vote intelligently on ita''
ono question can be raised at this time, !"
replied Chairman Hellor.
The clause was then carried by vote of
1895 to 289. The largeness of the maj ority
evoked loud Irish cheers, which were ans
wered by the unionists.
Clause 8, which contemplates cases of
disagreement between the two -houses of
the Irish legislature was carried by vote
of 1923 to 291. The abatement of the con-
fusion left Mr.. Gladstone to move that the
committee rise and report progress. The
motion was carried. Mr.. Gladstone hasti-
ly gathered his papers and left the house.
The opposition, after denouncing Mr.. Glad
stone for cutting off discussion, agreed to
motion to adjourn.
A page and half of the bill was pushed
through committee. This is almost as
much space as the house in committee had
disposed of in all the previous sittings.
