4 Hostile Demonstration at the
Imperial Institute.


The Premier the Guest of the Prince Of
Wales, But the Fact Cut No Figure
With the Anti-Home Rulers-Tho
Second Clause of the Home Rule Bill
Passed By the House of Commons.
London, May 1.-THE second clause OF
the home rule bill, conferring authority
on the Irish legislature to enact laws,
was passed to-day by vote Of 257 to 225
in committee of the House of Commons
as amended by the adoption Of Sir Henry
James amendment ITO the effect
that the supreme power OF
the imperial parliament should remain
undiminished by any proviso of the home
rule bill. The debate preceding the divi-
sion was both testy and bitter. Chair
man Mellar repeatedly called members 70
order. When Gen. Goldsworthy, cOnserva-
tive, who W as speaker, sat down dozen
members OF the opposition arose TO claim
the floor, Before the chairman had time
to recognize any Of those who were anx-s
ious to speak DR. MacGregor, liberal,
member for Invcnesshire, moved closure.
The motion was carried by vote OF 2SL
to 220.
Then followed the division on the second
clause, resulting as before stated
The application of closure inoensed the
members Of the opposition, and Mr.. Cos
chen, formerly chancellor Of the OK
chequer under Lord Salisbury, offered o
motion, amid great excitement, to report
progress. Mr.. Goschon attacked the gov
ernment on the ground that MIR. Fowler,
president of the local government, who
was the only minister who has spoken in
the discussion, had spoken at such stage
that no opportunity was given to the
opposition TO reply to his utterauces.
Mr.. Gladstone repudiated the sugges-
tion of unfairness on the part of the gov
ernment. He said that he had adhered to
the rule never to propose or vote for,
closure when the speech preceding the
motion for closure was that Of a minis
ter
Several members here attempted to
speak and great disorder prevailed, angry
cries and counter cries being heard in
different parts of the house. The chair
man repeatedly appealed for order, but
his appeals wero unheeded, and at Lengths
Mr. Goschen's motion was defeated by q
vote Of 200 TO 244

Kisses FOR GLADSTONE.
The reception Of the Prince Of Wales at
the Imperial Institute to-day was in every
way successful The Duke of York and
Princess May were cheered repeatedly by
thousands of guests. Mr. Gladstone was
present looking tired and irritated. A
hostile demonstration was made by some
Of the ultra tories when he appeared, Tho
demonstration was comparatively mild
at first, but il increased rapidlyin volume
and insolence Despite the fact that he
is prime minister and was the Prince Of
Wales guest he was received eventually
ct,
ever and wherever he was recognized.
Before Mr.. Gladstone appeared the 49,
600 or 10000 persons at the reception were
in the best of temper. There was be-
wildering confusion of maenifcent
toilettes, which showed the cx-
ceptionally high social standing
of the guests. The Duke of Cambridge,
Princess Christiana, the Duke and
Duchess Of Connaught, the Duke and
Duchess Of Teck, Lord Salisbury, groups
of ministers and eX-ministers, members
Of parliament and generals Of the army,
most Of them accompanied by
their families, were mingled in an
eXtricable tangle. AS rain was
threatening the finest part Of the display
was confined to the gallery. AS the royal
procession moved through the galleries,
with the police pushing back the crowds
TO clear the way a roar Of hurrahs arose
and such general enthusiasm and
good nature were apparent that
those who had been apprehensive
of demonstration against Mr.. Gladstone
believed that the danger was passed. AS
the prime minister came in view the tenn
per of the crowd changed instantly AT
first a few Kisses were heard, and then
halfsuppressed groaning As he pro-
ceeded the hOoting and kissing swelled to
an uproar, which the liberals present
could not drown with their counter cheer.
The opinion almost universally eS-
pressed tonight In London is that the
demonstration was not only disgraceful
exhibition of partisanship, but also d
direct insult to the Prince of Wales, with
whom the prime minister had just dined at
the institute in company with the visitors
from India It is said that MIR. Gladstone
absented himself from the exercises
at the opening OF the institute in accord
dance with the advice Of friends, who be-
lieved that if he appeared he would be
hooted.
The Times regards the demonstration
against Mr.. Gladstone as a ''lamentable
fact" '"The event was regretable,' says
the Times, because, after all, Mr.. Glad
stone was the guest Of the Prince Of
Wales The demonstration was not or
ganized, however, but was a spontaneous
and irrepressible breach Of the conven-
tlOndlJieB OF Society,"
Lord Randolph Churchill, speaking at
Reading this evening, said that MIR Glad
stone had informed leading liberals Of
Midlothin that he would not contest that
constituency again. This decision, said
Lord Randolph proved that Mr.. Glad
stone realized what u revolution of feel
ing had been produced against him by
the home rule bill.
DEATHS SUDDEN CALL.
