 LONDON, July 1.-The house of com mona, sitting in committee this evening discussed clause on the home rule bill This clause concerns the question of Irish | representation at Westminster. Henry Seton-Karr, conservative, moved that the Irish members of the imperial parliament I be elected by the constituencies which I would elect the Irish executive council Under this the Irish In the house would number 4s instead of 80, AS proposed by the bill.
 John Morley, chief secretary for Ireland, replied that this proposal was based on no principle of government, was the result, merely, of desire to curtsil Irish repre- sentation in the house and could not bs &C., cepted by the government. Sir Richard Temple, conservative, said that even forty eight Irish members would be too many. William Broderick, conservative, agreed
  both impecunious and garrulous, ana therein lay two reasons for reducing their representation in the house to minimum. Thomas Sexton, snti-Parnellite, interrupt ed Mir. Broderick to say that such language was grossly impertinent and ought not to be tolerated in the house. The unionists shouted 'withdraw" and the Irish cheered. Lord Randolph Churchill suggested that Mir. Sexton withdraw his words, as MT. -szl~1 ,,ol Sx,ko Id frr ttI,v sonally.
 The chairman told Mir. Sexton that be was out of order, and must withdraw his expressions concerning Mir. Broderick's speech. MT. Sexton expressed his willing ness to obey the chairman in case MT. Broderick would first express regret for his language. Timothy Healy anti-Parnellite, said he regarded Mir. Sexton's attitude as quite justiiable. To call the Irish race inpecunious and garrulous, was to insult every Irish member who stood by his countrymen. The Irish eheered, the unionists shouted their protests, and for two or three minutes the house was in up- roar. Chairman Mellor appealed to the cident.
 MT. Gladstone spoke few words in favor of the chsirmsn's decision, but ad ded that the person striking the first blow ought to make the first step toward reconciliation.
 MT. Balfour said that acting under his advice MT. Broderick refused to apologies The chairman appealed to Mir. Sexton, who had been conferring with several col leagues on the Irish benches. Mr. Sexton did not respond, as was expected, to the appeal.
 'I am willing to do anything consistent with my duty to please the minister, but considering the gravity of tha insult of fered to my countrymen, I have decided not to make any apology. l submit my self to the judgment of the committee.
 Loud Irish cheers greeted this state ment. The chairman hesitated, and finally ordered Mir. Sexton to withdraw. MT. Sexton shouted back hotly:
 "Such course is unprecedented. Why am I not named and my conduct submitted to the house?"
 Irish cheers, unionists shouts and cries of "divide" followed this challenge. The chairman pulled himself together, and with more show of spirit than he has made before, repeated his order that MT. Sexton withdraw. Mir. Sexton again refused to do so. The Irish cried ''dor't withdraw" Several of them were on their feet to speak. The unionists shouted that Mir. Sexton should be compelled to obey. In the turmoil the chairman gave his third order that Mir. Sexton withdraw. Mir. Sex ton stuck doggedly to his seat The chair then explained the standing order concern ing tte suspension of members disregard ing the authority of the chair. His last words were almost taken from his mouth by Timothy Healy, who exclaimed:
 ''This is @ shamel It has never b en done before. It Is due to Milmanl"
 This reference to Archibald Milman, clerk assistant in the house, and the i'm mediate inference that he had been coach ing MT. Meilor to his duties, caused gen. eral disturbance. The unionists shouted derisively: "Who is chsirman"
 The Irish replied: "Milman Is boss"
 Several liberals called out: "Let the chairman aIone."
 MT. Mellor sat helpless through the tu- mutt. As the disorder abated he was again baited by MT. Sexton, who shouted:
 "Am to be the victim of a malicious intrusion of the clerka'
 The inquiry was answered only by re- newal of the uproar, above which could be distinguished cries of 'sPut him out"
 Mir. Gladstone appealed to Mr. Sex ton to obey the chairman. MT. Sexton replied with evident reluctance that he would leave his defence with the prime minister. CuSSTS anu COuutoE CuccEs hcIo Slfcu when he made this statement. As he re- tired the Irish jumped to the benches and waved their hats furiously.
 Afterwards MT. Frederick withdrew his statement that the Irish were gsrrulous and impecunious and order was restored.
 MT. Seton Karr's amendment was then rejected by vote of 251 to 219.
 Subsequently on a motion to adjourn Timothy Healey appealed to Speaker Peel against Chairman Mellor's treatment of Mir. Sexton. The speaker, however, sup ported MT. Mellor's decision.
