Serious Discussion of
Home Rule.
PARLIAMENT WORKING HARD

of Ireland.
PARLIAMENT WORKING HARD
Special to The MORNING CALI.

LONDON, May Sin the House of Com
mons To-day Gladstone stated, in reply to
the Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, that he
would propose that the ninth clause in the
Irish home-rule bill should be retained
without alteration. This clause provides
for the retention of Irish members in the
Imperial Parliament.
The Speaker ruled that the instructions

offered by Lord Randolph Churchill and
others, with the view of defeating the bill.
were out OF order. The House then went
into committee on the bill.
Hon. Joseph Chamberlain moved to
postpone clause l of the bill, which sim
PLY provided that on and after an ap-
pointed day there should be a legislature
in Ireland. Cham berlain said it was his
Intention to move the postponement of
every clause up 10 clanse 9, in order to be-
gin discussion on the bill with the most
important proposals. The House. he said
had the right to know whether the Gov
eminent meant to adhere to the main
points of the Bill. otherwise the House
might at any time find new bill sprung
upon them.
Gladstone replied that he declined to
allow Chamberlain to reserve to himself
The privilege to challenge clauses out of
their order. The bill was before the House
in particular form, and the Government
alone had the right to indicate variations
from that form.
Hon. A. j. Balfour charged Gladstone
with coneeaing how he designed 10 ar
range the representation Of the Irish mem
bers al Westminster until he should fiud
time more propitious for revealing it.
=. w. Lowther and other Z iunists con-
tinued 10 talk in a strain similar to that of
their leaders, while the Irish Nationalists
cried, Divide"
Lowther, whois a relative of Lord Sails
bury, accused Timothy Healy of leading
organized disorder.
Healy replied that the statement was
untrue and that the disorder was on the
other side.
Chairman Mellor put an end to the
sQuabble by calling the disputants 10 or
der.
Chamberlan's amendment was rejected,
270 10 213.
Darling, Conservative, proposed to
amend clause 1 by reaflirming the suprem-
acy OF Parliament in local as well as i'm
perial matters, but Gladstone opposed the
motion for the reason that the supremacy
of Parliament had been asserted suffi-
ciently in the preamble. During the de-
bate on the amendment the electric lights
went out and the debate was shortened.
After X hours had been talked away,
Morley, Chief Secretary for Ireland
moved closure, which was carried by a
vote Of 2l5 to 195. The amendment wa:
lost by vote of 285 to 233. Then the

WASHINGTON, May S.-The full results
of the Pres dents order closing the door to
office-seekres were not apparent at the
White House to-day, for Monday is re-
served by Cleveland for uninterrupted
attention to public business. outside of
interviews. His only visitors this morning
were Secretaries Gresham and Lamont,
who spent some time in Cleveland's pr-
vate room. But the partial effect of the
Presidents statement was an increased
attendance OF callers on Private Secretary
Thurber. Many OF them called, so they
said, merely to pay their respects" and
several left their "P. p c." pour prendre
conge) cards for Cleveland, 10 show him
they appreciated to It's fullest extent the
hint conveyed in the closing sentence of
his circular that applicants for Office will
only prejudice their prospects by remain
ing in Washington to await results" 1t
can be stated on authority that the Pres
dent has decided to issue a statement
without consultation with any one. He
did not even ask for the opinions Of
members of his Cabinet. 1t is believed
one effect Of the new order will be TO send
applicants in increased numbers to the
various Cabinet officers. Judging from
the crowds at some of the executive de-
partments to-day this result has already
become apparent.
The order in fact, formed the chief topic
of conversation among politicians to-day.
The expressions regarding it varied in
character according to the condition of the
speaker. Senators and Representatives,
with large and active Constituencies, were
inclined to favor it as they were relieved
Of a great deal of pressure from their i'm
pOrtuning followers.
Politicians say the order win have the
effect of making close corporation Of the
patronage system, and that the President
Will be debarred from hearing the voice of
the people on the fitness of candidates. In
opposition to these opinions 1t is urged
that the President has borne with patience
the personal solicitations of the people for
two months, and that as matter of fact
the personal presence of applicants is
seldom necessary. 1t is argued that denial
OF personal interviews does not cut off the
right of citizens to make Endorsements or
to put forward candidates.
1t is stated on the best authority that the
order of the President was decided upon
at Cabinet meeting last Friday. The
President said that lie now had more i'm
portant business which demanded his
atten tion than he had during the entire
four years of his previous administration.
To these matters he had no time 10 devote
himself on account of the crowds of men
continually demanding his time TO oppor-
tune him for positions. Human endurance
had come to an end, and something had 10
be done to relieve the pressure.
