Associated Press.

<AooOOldlCQ IC6Ss
London, Sept. 9.--Ae 1910 a. M today
Saturday the house of lords rejected
the horne rule bill by vote of 4lS to4l.
The significant feature of the home
rule discussion in the house of lords Is
the fact that a special police force was
ordered to report for duty in the PAL
ace yards in front of the house of par
lament in order to be ready for I'M
mediate action in case of a hostile
demonstration against the lords when
the latter left the building after the
division ON the home rule bill. The
house presented a brilliant and almost
unprecedented spectacle when at 10 p.
m. Lord Salisbury rose to deliver the
last speech in opposition to the home
rule bill The house was crowded well
at all the approaches. The Earl II KIM
berly spoke for the bill on behalf Of
the government and the division was
then taken, resulting. as stated.
In the street an immensc crowd
awaited the announcement of the result
of the division. A strong detachment of
police mingled with the crowd and
were drawn up in front of the entrance
to the building. When the result was
finally reached, the people received it
with vociferous cheers. An analysis Of
the vote shows that the twenty-five
bishops and archbishops who were
present at the division all voted with
the majority. The vote Is the largest
ever recorded in the house of lords.
