LONDON, Sept. s.-A significant fea-
ture of the home rule discussion in the
house OF lords is the fact that special
police force has been ordered to report
for duty in the palace yard in front Of
the house OF parliament. in order to be
ready for immediate action in case OF
hostile demonstration against the lords
when the latter leave the building after
division on the home rule bill.
The house OF lords presented n brill
liant and most unprecedented spectacle
when at 10 p. m. Lord Salisbury rose 10
deliver the last speech In opposition to
the home rule bill The house was filled
in every part with people anxious 10 hear
the decision OF the lords upon the meas
ure, which had been so long debated In
and out of parliament. Not only was
the house itself filled with peers but all
the corridors and approaches thereto
were packed with people Eager 20 be in
at the death" as one young lord re-
marked.
The United States ambassador Thorn
as +. Bayard was present and received
much nattering attention from many OF
the prominent parliamentarians present.
The side galleries were filled with OUCH
esses and countesses, their daughters
and other ladies lucky enough 10 obtain
admission. The peers were all In even
ing dress ard fairly blazing with jewels.
In the diplomatic gallery could be no.
| tlced the German, Austrian and Turk
ish ambassadors, the latter wearing the
traditional fez.
Salisbury Cheered.
Lord Salisbury was long and loudly
cheered when he stood up 10 make the
closing speech. and Il was some time
before he was allowed 10 proceed.
mo reason has yet been given by the
government" said he during the course
of his remarks. FOR introducing the bill.
Every speaker on the government 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 enormous and grotesque
that / am surprised that any responsible
government has dared 20 suggest Il.
(Cheers) All the arguments OF the gov
eminent showed that their policy was
one Of despair They had no right 10
take step which endangered the exist
ence. happiness and prosperity Of the
majority OF the Irish people. CCheers.)
The men who would govern Ireland,
should the bill pass. are those who have
been found guilty OF criminal conspiracy.
Should we not be I'm an infinitely worse
position than at present II we entrusted
Ireland 10 such men, in the event OF
trouble with the United States or any
other foreign power? loud cheers)
''If you allowed this atrocious. treach-
erous bill 10 pass you would be untrue
10 the duty which has been descended 70
you from n splendid ancestry" pro
longed cheering)
The earl OF Kimberly QiberaD. 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
earls remarks failed 10 make any de-
clded impression upon his hearers. Az
the close OF his speech the division was
taken. The latter proceeding lasted over
half an hour. and resulted in a vote OF
419 against the bill to al in favor Of It.
How Received.
In the street an immense crowd
awaited the announcement OF the result
Of the division. A strong detachment OF
police mingled with the crowd, drawn
in front Of the entrance Of the building.
When the result finally reached the
people IL was received with vociferous
cheering. Here and there a knot Of men
were expressive OF their approval or
ulSdppIoNdi OF lne NeIultl OF the people.
An analysis shows that twenty-five
bishops and both archbishops who were
present at the division all voted with
the majority. The vote was the largest
| ever recorded in the house OF lords.
The Daily News says:
THE division is remarkable token
OF the determination OF the house OF
lords to destroy the hopes OF Ireland so
long as they have the power to do so.
Nevertheless the liberals will continue
patient in wel-doing. The house OF
lords has defied public opinion, fiouted
the house OF commons and insulted the
representatives OF the people"
The Times says: "Of the handful Of
peers who supported the bill more than
one-half We're place men, holding Office
under Gladstone. There is abundant
ground for belief that II Gladstone was
to appeal to the constituencies tomorrow
| the policy commenced by Spencer,
Rosebery, Herschell and Kimberly
would be repudiated by a decisive vote.
The decision of the house of lords will
be sustained by an overwhelming major
| ity OF the English people"
The Standard says that the value Of a
| apparent. The house Of lords by it's
| action on the home rule bill has added
to it's popularity. though IL has set up
no claim for a dissolution. If the
government tamely accepts this rebuff
only one conclusion can be drawn.
