ERTN'S DAWN OF LIBERTY.
The Final Triumph Of Home Rule
Near at Hand.

Gladstone Getting Everything In
Readiness to Nullify the Efforts OF
the obstruotionists-C to Be
Applied When Necessary to Prevent
Wholesale Waste of Time.
London, May 6.-The discussion of the
home rule bill viii be resumed in the
committee of the house Monday Al
though the dreary waste Of amendments
has already eXtedued to the thirty-third
page, the opposition are far from being
satisfied with the promise of delay. They
had formed a plan to elaborate their ob-
structive tactics by means of thirteen So
called instructions, which, reduced to
their essence, were nothing more or less
than thirteen motions to render the whole
measure nugatory. Their scheme was
thwarted, however, by the speaker, who
Immediately ruled that the Instructions
were out of order This ruling was a sad
blow TO the hopes of Messrs. Balfour and
Chamberlain, who had calculated upon
wasting upon their motions two or three
weeks Of the committees time Their
only alternative is to collect their ener-
gies upon moving and discussing the
amendments.
The situation was considered last night
by 400 uniouist representatives. MIR.
Balfour and Lord Randolph Churchill did
most Of the talking at the meeting for the
conservatives, Mr.. Chamberlain for Ulster
and Maj Saunderson for the Ulster union
lists The most important decisions were
that the unionists opposed any attempt
to exclude Ulster IRON full operation
of the home rule bill and
that if the government should pass the
Pamellite amendment providing for the
retention at Westminster of all the Irish
members instead of but eighty, as pro-
posed by the bill, the unionists endeavor
10 make this retention conditional upon
redistribution Of the Irish seats.
GLADsToSE's ATTITUDE.
The attitude of MIR. Gladstone toward
this amendment has been so yariously
stated that yesterday Justin Mccarthy
and John Dillon called upon the premier
to obtain an unequivOcal declaration in
the matter. They received from him
positive assurances that he would not
yield his determination to keep in the
house 1903 Irish members with votes on all
questions At the same time Mr.. Glad
stone snid that he would not consent.
under the circumstances, to a redistribu-
tion Of the seats advocated by the oppo-
sition.
THE FINANCIAL CLAUSES.
Mr. Gladstone has decided TO defer cons
sideration of the financial clauses until
the last so that the opinion of the house
will be fully ripe for dealing with them
| He has requested that the Irish members
| spare him, as far as possible, further pro.
| posals OF amendments and to curtail their
| speeches in committee in order that de-
cisive steps toward passing the bill may
be taken rapidly His plan is to press
ahead from division 10 division with all
possible speed and he is aVerse TO
any plan which will aid the unionists'
policy of delry. He has promised not to
hesitate in applying cloture whenever the
opposition become purely obstructive.
The governments purpose and expecta-
tion is that the bill will reach the House
of Lords during July. There is much
doubt, however, even among the liberals,
that business in the committee can be ex.
pedited sufficiently to accomplish this.
sALIsBURY's PROGRAMME.
The Marquis of Salisbury will begin his
tour of the north Of Ireland in about two
weeks. He will start May 16 for Bel
fast, where he will remain three days re-
ceiving addresses from Orangemen and
speaking before meetings of Orange
! men. From Belfast he win go to
| Londonderry, receive more addresses,
| make speeches and review union
ist parade. Much more Importance
is attached to this tour than was attached
10 the tour before, because Lord Sails
| bury is expected to disclose during it the
| tactics to be adopted by the House Of
Lords toward the home rule bill, notably,
whether or not they will refuse TO con-
! slider any government measure before an
appeal on the home rule issue shall have
| been made TO the country
DAvITT BANKRUPT.
Michael Davitt, anti-Parnellite, member
of parliament for Northeast Cork, has
been adiudicated bankrupt This is IN
consequence Of the election contest made
by Pierce Mahoney, over whom Mr..
Davitt was returned for North Meath al
the last general election. The contest
resulted in the unseating of Mr.. Davitt.

caused notice in bankruptcy to be served
