Hit and Hit Hard
LONDON, July 27.-On the government
programme 10 o'clock this evening was
the hour set for the debate in committee
on the Home Rule bill.
Joseph Chamberlain rose to deliver the
final broadside of the opposition. He
was still smarting under the lash which
Mr.. Gladstone swung on Tuesday.even-
ing and spoke with corresponding bitter
ness. He waited two or three minutes
before the confusion abated sufficiently
for him to speak without effort. Hethen
proceeded thus:
THE prime minister calls black and
his adherents say it is good. The prime
minister calls white and they say it is
better. CUnionist laughter tits always
the voice of God. Never since the time
Of HerOd has there BEEN
Mr.. Chamberlain got no further. He
turned toward the nationalist, and shrill
yells Of execration rose above the uprOar.
T. =. O'Connor sprang to his feet, and,
leaning toward Mr.. Chamberlain, shouted
Judas ~ so loudly that the epithet could
be heard throughout the house. The
rest of the Irishmen took up the cry, and
for half a minute shouted "Judasw in
chorus.
Meantime half of the u~nionists had
climbed to the benches and were shout

Cling in the aisles or between the benches
with radical, liberal, or Irish antagonists.
Curses, yells of pain and gross insults
were heard on every side. John Logan,
liberal, ran down to the first opposition
bench and began upbraiding Edward
Carson, a tory. AS he shook his fist
under Carson's nose, George Wyndham
and William Fisher jumped to the assis-
tance of their party colleague, seized Mr..
Logan by the neck, threw him to the
tloOr head first, and then bundled him
under a bench.
Somebody smashed Tim Healy's high
hat down over his eyes. Healy tore off
the hat and sprang into the aisle in full
fighting posture just as Mr.. Hanbury,

name Mr.. O'Connor, was trying to get
by. Mr.. Hanbury was knocked over a
bench by the force Of the collision before
Mr.. Healy got in a blow. A free fight
then broke out at the top of the gangway.
The centre of it was William Red

Members fell and were picked up by
their friends TO fight again. The whole
space between the front benches was
filled with a struggling, cursing mass of
members, striking, clawing, and upset
ting each other.
Manful efforts were made to separate
the combatants. Both sergeants alarms
