The Disgraceful Affair In the Com

LONDON, July 2S.-The hand-to-hand
conflict in the House of Commons last
night has made deep impression
throughout the country. On every side
much regret is expressed that the affair
occurred. The matter came up in the
House to-day on a question asked by
William Alexander Hunter tLiberal),
who desired Gladstone to appoint COM
mittee to inquire into the affair.
Gladstone said the question was one of
the greatest delicacy. The occurrence,
he added, formed very serious fact in
the history of the House. He would
consider the point and give an answer
next week in regard to the appointment
OF Committee OF Inquiry.
The newspapers to-day devote much
space to editorial comments on last
nights happening in the Commons. The
Times gravely talks about the suppress
sion of free debate by the tyrannical ma
Jorlty as being the moving cause, but has
nothing TO say about the way the closure
was applied during Balfour's reign. 1t
regrets that the opposition took notice of
the 'disgraceful insults with which
Chamberlain was assailed, and says that
such pothouse manners might have been
left to serve as an example of what would
occur in the Irish Legislature should
Gladstone succeed in establishing that
''preposterous body"
Other Tory papers comment in SINH
lar vein.
Gladstonian papers refer to the insults
flung at Gladstone by Chamberlain, and
call attention to the fact that the first
blow in the scuffie was struck by Con-
servatiye. They also lind 1t worthy of
note that O'Connor maniully apologized
for what he said, while there was no hint
of apology or retraction from Chamber
lain and his abettors.
