taet with the Fist OF an Anti-Parneii-

Judas, aud Then the Fun Hogan.
LONDON, July 2s.-By the government
proRam 10 o'clock last night was the hour
set for the closure Of the debate in COM
.nittee on the home rule bill. The parts
Of the bill left over for the discussions Of
the last week and for the divisions last
evening were the new financial clauses,
the schedules and the preamble
The proceedings early in the evening
were tame enough. John CLANCY, Par
nellite for North Dublin county moved
an amendment to the effect that the Inn
periHl government should guarantee to
ireland s2,5O0,OOO annually during the
provisional period of six years.
Mr.. Gladstone declined TO accept the
amendment. The financial scheme under
discussion, he said provided fully for the
equitable, even liberal treatment of the
new Irish government.
Fifteen minutes before theclosure was to
be applied Joseph Chamberlain rose to de-
liver the final broadside Of the opposition.
After few scornful and biting words as
to the conduct Of the ministers, he began
giving his opinion of the closure as applied
by the government. The members, he said,
were about to witness the last scene in a
discreditable farce. The debate on the
financial clauses had been a mere sham.
The government had stood over friend and
foe alike, ready TO let fall the guillotine
without regard for justice or constitu-
tional rights Jeers from the Irish, cheers
from the Unionists and counter cheers
from the Liberals interrupted Mr.. Cham
berlan He waited two or three minutes
before the confusion abated sufficiently for
him to speak without effort He then pro-
ceeded Thus:
"The prime minister calls black and
his Rdhorents say it is good The prime
minister calls white and they say it is
/ better. 1t is always the voice of God.
/ Never, since the time of IIerod, has there
/ been such -"
| Mr.. Chamberlain got no further Imne-
diately after resuminR his speech he had
/ been warned by mutterings from the Irish
/ benches that q storm was gathering. He
could hardly have expected the sudden
ness with which it broke for with his hall

since the days of Parnell
Mr. Chamberlain plainly was startled
but he tried to talk on. His voice was in.
audible TO the members on the next bench
| He turned towards the Nationalists, and
| shrill yells of eXecraton sounded above

! feet and, leaning towards Mr. Chamber
lain, shouted "Judas' 50 loudly that the
/ epithet could be heard throu, hout the
house
The rest Of the Trishmen took up the
cry, and for half n minute shouted Judas
in chorus Meantime the clock struck 10
Chairman Melor tried to put the closure
but his voice could not be heard amid th,
shouts of the Irish and Unionists TheI
came g scene unprecedented in parliamen
tary history.
Mr.. Mellor gave the customary direc
tions to clear the house for a division Al
the disorder subsidized preparations wer
made to execute these directions Th
Conservatives, however. fatty refused t,
quit the house, shouting to the chairman
that he must first call Mr. O'Connor t,
order for having called Mr.. Chamberlain
names.
Mr. Mellor protested that he had no
heard the epithets in question. Nobod,
told him what Mr.. O'Connor had said 81
he sat helpless and unenlightened befor
the house, while the members crowdet
forward in excited groups, shaking thei
fists and shouting their demands
Messrs. Gibbs, Bowles and Hanbury 90
together, and to make themselves heard
shouted in chorus at Mr.. Mellori
"Will you direct that those words b

Lord Randolph Churchill and Sir Ed

started him for the front bench that b
might elucidate the cause OF the row Il
Mr. Mellor, who was making strenuou
but vain efforts to learn what the griev
ance Of the Tory trio was Mr. Gibbs trfe,
TO go forward, but in the general jostlin
and shouting he was so pushed about AM
confused that he gave up his purpose, an,
Mr. Msllor remained uninformed
Meantime half of the Unionists ha
climbed to the benches and were shouting
"Gag," Gag" Others were struggling
in the aisles or between the benches wit
Radical, Liberal or Irish antagonists
Curses, yells of pain and gross insult
were heard on every side. John Logan
Liberal, ran down to the first opposition
bench and began upraiding Edward Car
