THE DEBATE OPENED.
The Home-Rule Bin at the Tender Mercy
OF tho House of Lords.


OF the House of Lords.
LONDON, Sept. 5.-The House OF
Lords was filled to-day with members
and visitors eager TO hear the debate on
the Home Rule bill opened. Although the
Conservative whips will not muster their
full force before the evening OF the final
division, the opposition had In attendance
to-day five members 10 every one on
the Liberal side. The galleries were pack
ed with peeresses. The strangers gall
lery was packed TO suffocation. a peeu-
liar feature Of the crowd was the con-
spicuousness OF the clerical element.
Earl Spencer. First Lord OF the Admit
rally. moved the second reading OF the
Home Rule bill lie made a tame speech,
barren of original thought or expression.
He claimed for the government all hon
esty OF intentions In its work for the
bill, and credited the opposition with being
equally conscientious. He reviewed at
some length the history OF Ireland since
the union All the so-called remedial
measures Of the successive governments.
he said. had come TO help the country
even had they not contained radical de-
fects which would have rendered them
nearly useless. His own personal expe-
rience satisfied him that home rule was
the only possible solution Of the Irish
question. After dwelling upon the bent
hceut results TO be expected from seve-
raj provisions OF the bill, Earl Spencer
closed with the declaration that the
Gladstonian plan Of home rule was cal
culated 10 satisfy all the aspirations OF
Ireland to self-gOyernment.
The Duke Of DeyOnshire. Liberal Union
ist. moved the rejection OF the bill. He
contended that every class In Ireland eS-
cept ole was Unionist and was opposed
TO the measure under discussion. Did the
government, he asked. believe that the
manufacturers, merchants and traders OF
the country, who opposed the Home Rule
bill mistook their position? The Union
Of ireland and Great Britain, he said, had
been decree OF nature which laws and
treaties had only recorded. The present
bin was crude and unworkable and a
violation of the constitution.
The Duke read his speech through,
turning page after page. The House
showed very little interest In his remarks.
Vlscount Powerscourt, Liberal-Unionist,
was the next speaker, and the attendance
dwindied while he enlarged upon the
coming ruin Of Ireland Home rule would
blight all Industries, he said.
