liberal unionist, member for the south
ern division Of Tyrone gave notice that
he would submit an amendment to the

Mr. Balfour asked If the government
proposed to consider the motion for the

Did the government, he contended, re-
member the occasion Of the introduction
of the resolution OF 1887, referred 20 by
the prime minister On that occasion
Mr.. Gladstone and Mr. Morley
both protested against the brief
time allowed them TO consider the
resolution, although that proposal was
vastly less complicated than the present
one
GLADSTONE REPLIES.
When Mr.. MIR. Gladstone rose to reply
to Mr. Balfour he was enthusiastically
cheered He readily admitted his action
in 1887 but said that the opinion of the
house then was that resolution like the
one referred TO ought not to be kept pend
ing Moreover the house had alreauy gone
through an immense mass of work and
had still great amount Of matter await
ing its attention. Indeed it had become
a question as to whether the house was
or was not able to discharge the duties
with which it had been entrusted This
statement elected further cheering from
the governments supporters. MIR. Glad
stone said that there was no such question
in 1897 as existed now. On grounds of
public duty he must decline to aCcede to
the wish Of Mr.. Balfour that further
| time be given to the opposition to consider
the terms Of the resolution.
The sitting closed amid unbounded en-
thusiasm on the part Of the Irish, radical
and liberal mem bers

lists viii refuse to withdraw any of the

| introduce in the report stage all motions
which shall not have been discussed when
