commons is ended. The bill was passed
at o'clock this morning by sO1 to 26z
It was hurried to the house Of lords,
which gave it the first reading and then
adjourned. There was unusual anima-
ton along the route from Mr.. Glad
stones residence to the house Of com.
mons this afternoon. The streets were
crowded with people who wished to
catch glimpse OF the great champion
of Irish home rule. and, although there
was no organized demonstration, the
prime minister was cheered throughout
the route.
at Mr.. Gladstone's residence two
policemen had been stationed at the
door to keep back the crowd that pack.
ed the sidewalks and escort Mr.. Glad.
stone to his carriage, and an extra force
Of policemen was on duty along the
route to prevent the people from inter
fering with traffic. The galleries OF the
house began to fll up long before the
sitting opened. Many ladies were pres
ent and the galleries presented an un-
usually brilliant appearance. Members
were remarkably prompt in their at
tendance and the desire to learn the
nature Of the governments expected
announcement was everywhere mani
fest.
Among the members who arrived late
was Joseph Chamberlain. He was ac-
companied by his wife, who was for
merly Miss Endicott, of Boston. Mr..
Chamberlain passed through the crowd,
unnoticed.
It was 4 o'clock when Mr.. Gladstone
left his residence. This fact was an
nounced by loud cheering from the
throngs near the residence. Shortly af-
terward his carriage appeared in sight.
to the crowds that lined the streets.
Mr.. Gladstone was accompanied by his
wife. He wore awhile azalea in the
buttonhole Of his coat. he was evil
IDENTIFY much pleased with the hearti.
ness Of the greeting which he received
from the populace. The cheering was
continuous. Every man lifted his hat
as the carriuge passed, while tho wo-
men waved andkerchiefs. Mr.. Glad
stone bowed conBtantlvto the crowds
on both sides of the road in acknowl-
edgment Of their plaudits! The recep-
ton was a complete ovation, with no
mark Of dissent to mark it.
AS Mr.. Gladstone, with barred head,
passed through the crowd in front of
the house they lifted their hats as the
prime minister passed them.
The prime minister was Loudly cheered
by his followers as he entered the house
and walked to his seat; The galleries
also gave him a warm greeting. Before
the debate on the home rule bill could
be resumed a long list of questions had
to be answered. In reply to a question
by Mr.. John Redmond. MIR. Gladstone
said that he would issue a commission
upon the financial relations between
England and Ireland at the beginning
of the year.
After the questions had been an
swered Justin Mccarthy resumed the
debate on home rule. He spoke on
the lines similar TO those by Mr.. Dillon
in regard to the acceptance OF the bill.
Mr.. Chamberlain followed Mr.. Me-
Carthy. He spoke for over an hour
and his speech wasa brilliant one. He
utilized the opportunity to pay off old
scores against the Irish and Liberal
members, and he delighted the oppos-
ition with his clever thrusts at his old
enemies. He said that the bill
under discussion was not one Of British
policy, but that it had been accepted
from ParnelI and forced by the Irish
majority. The prime minister had said
thatthe billy introduced because it
was demanded by q majority OF the
Irish members, but what the Irish ma.
jority might demand the British people
might refuse to grant. They would
take up the challenge and appeal to the
good sense and imperial instincts OF the
people to save England from being made
the laughing stock Of mankind.
Mr. 7. P. o'Gonnor was the next
speaker.
When Mr.. Balfour rose to speak the
house was filed to overhowing. BE
spoke more than an houn BE dwelt
chiefly upon the cloture methods ofthe
government. BE closed his remarks
by saying that the govern
ments insane action had done
more than one hundred tory govern
ments had done to demonstrate the
necessity for tho house Of lords as a
bulwark Of the greatness and the inter-
ests Of the empire. M. John Morley,
chief secretary for Ireland, spoke
next. He spoke bitterly for the
tactics Of the opposition. The
government, he said, had no fear OF
the verdict OF the country. Mr.. ]. I.
Nolan, a Parnellite home ruler, then at
tempted 20 speak against the financial
clauses Of the bill, but had hardly
started when his voice was overcome
by cries OF divide. Thereupon a
division was had upon Mr.. Courtney's
amendment TO reject the bill, and the
amendment was defeated.
The bill was then put on its third 1
reading and was passed by a vote OF Sol
to 207.
The full import Of the occasion was
felt BY the spectators and by the gov.
ernment adherents aud the elimination
in the house was accompanied by
rounds OF frantic cheers from the gal.
leries and upon the hoor.

tered the house from the divis on

Gus applause.
