The home rule bill goes to the house
Of lords. In what shape it will emerge
1t is hard to say. When the house as

ing of the home rule bill may be
brought to conclusion before the ad-
| journmcnt
1t was o'clock when Mr.. Gladstone
left his residence. This fact was an
nounced by loud cheering from the
throngs near the residence. Shortly
afterward his carriage appeared in
sight to the crowds that lined the
streets. Mr. Gladstone was accom-.
panied by his wife.
He wore white azalea in the button
hole of his coat. He was evidently
much pleased with the heartiness of
the greeting which he received from
the populace. The cheering was con-
tinuous: every man lifted his hat as
the carriage passed, while the women
waved handlserchiefs Mr.. Gladstone
bowed constantly to the crowds on
ment of their plaudits. His reception
was complete ovation, with no mark
of dissent to mar it,
AS. Mr.. Gladstone, with barred head
passed through the crowd and entered
the house, it was noticed that his face
was very pale. a number of Irish
priests were prominent in the crowd ir
front of the house, and lifted their hats
as the prime minister passed them
The prize minister was loudly cheeret
by his followers as he entered the hous,
and walked to his seat. The galleries
also gave him warm greeting.
The scenes in front of the house afte,
midnight were exciting. The knowl
edge that the vote on the third read
ing of the home rule bill was to b,
taken shortly after that hour attracted
q large crowd to the spot and at mid
night fully 1000 persons We're jammee
in the space in front of the house o
commons gates. There were man,
Irishmen in the throng, and the senti
ment of the crowd generally was 70
home rule and Gladstone. This wa
expressed in many ways-by the sing
ing of The Wearing of the Green" an,
by enthusiastic cheering when Nh
Gladstone's carriage arrived at th
, minister's home. 1t was noticed, how
ever, that the cheering was mingle,
with some hooting.
; BY 1880 the multitude had increase,
. in size so that the space from Downin!
street to the Palace yard was packed.
The crowd was inclined to be bolster
GUS, and indulged in all sorts of hors
play. 1t was also at pains to give tn
police as much trouble as possible b.
massing in the roadway, and it wa
: with much difficulty that a passage wa
4 kept clear for carriages The Irishme
in the crowd whiled away the time b
: alternately singing God Save Ire
e land" cheering for Gladstone and hoot
. ing Balfour
When the announcement that tn
house had passed the home rule bill b
!, a vote of 301 to 2G7 was received tn
! crowd went wild. They cheeret
: shouted, sung, embraced one another
1 smashed hats and did other absur
t things to show their appreciation {
| the houses action.
