Conservative, resumed the debate on the
address in the house of lords. He spoke
OF the last convention Of Ulster Unionists
over which he presided, and declared the
men Of Ulster ready to fight to the last
notch the proposed Dublin parliament.
They will shed blood rather than allow
impairment of the constitution. The men
of Ulster deserve only words of common
ds,ion for their devotion to the best inter-
ests Of the empire.
I.oSDos, Feb. I'm the commons to-
day, replying 10 a question, Sir Edward
Grey, secretary for the foreign Office, said
that the cases o. the seizure of the British
eeaiefs by Russians had been brought to
the attention of the Russian government,
which had promised inquiry and redress.
The collision between the Russians and
Afghans IN the Parrir country last July
was also under consideration.
Then Col. Saunderson (Conservative),
generally regarded as the leader of the
Irish Unionlsts. attacked the evicted ten
ants commission in a most furious TRADE.
He spared 40 invectve, and said the COM
Missions course was in line with the pol
icy OF the Irish chief secretary in releasing
the Gweedore assassins, who, led by a
murderous rnffian. had done to death a
faithful officer. The term "murderous
Yufiian" was interpreted by number of
Irish members as abiding TO Father Nc
Fadden, and several voices from the Irish
benches were lifted in loud protest against
I Col. Saunderson's utterance. Col. Saun-
derson went on defiantly and undaunt-
ecly: Yes" he cried. "they were led by
q murderous ruffianr' A number of Irish

draw the expression. it is a ruffianly utter
auce" The speaker demanded order.
John Dillon asked: lis the member from
North Armagh entitled to say the priest 10
o murderer"
Col. Saunderson, in a tone of cool con-
tempt and defiance, said: ~ withdraw
nothing. / did not call him a murderer,
but nurderous ruffian."
Tremendous uproar ensued. When quiet
was restored the voice of John Dillon was
heard appealing TO the speaker to compel
Col. Saunderson to withdraw his express
sion.

speaker, Ito interfere, but trust the hon.
orable member from North Armagh will
not persist in irritating language"
John Dillon said: al move that the
member using such language is no longer
fit 10 be heard. The member from North
Armagh would not dare use such terms
outside the house" The chair refused to
put Dllion's motion.
The uproar among the Irish Nation alists
continued and seemed gaining in energy
when Gladstone arose. AL became silent
Gladstone spoke earnestly and with deer
feeling. He appealed to the Irish Nation
alisJs to restrain themselves. In the in
terests of honor and the dignity OF paria-
ment all members should assist in bringing
the scene to n close as soon as possible
Surely" added Gladstone, "the honor
able member from North Armagh will re-

many III the highest respect q murderous
ruffiau.'
Col. Saunderson showed no signs of
l yielding, even to the premier. Then Bal

/ appealed TO Saunderson to withdraw the

politicians" Then Saunderson, obedient

not subside. He proceeded TO attack

Then came succession of uninteresting
