PRODUCTION Of the home rule bill. The

A PLEA FOR AMNESTY.
John Il. Il. Redmond, PArnellite, then re-
sumed the debate on the address He
moved the adoption OF an amendment de-
clartng in favor OF the release OF the men
who are undergoing imprisonment for
treason-telony. The prisoners had already
suffered terribly. Some had died some had
I
health. IL would be a noble and humane
act 60 open the prison doors in the cases Of
these men. [Cheers from the Irish benches I
Mr.. Redmond said that she horror
caused in Ireland by the recent
exposition in Dublin proved that
Irish sympathy with dynamiters was as
dead as Caesar. He pleaded, he said, for the
release OF fourteen men who were political,
not criminal, prisoners. Their release would
| be an incident in the great settlement
which he hoped was about to be effected
between Great Britain aud Ireland. No
| settlement would be complete, no oblivion
OF the past would be possible 30 long as the
government refused 20 restore the liberty
| or every lrishman who was victim of the
J accursed system which was now nearing
| its doom.
Mr.. Redmond's speech was greeted again
and again with cheers. His oration, which
was strong and eloquent, yet not rhetorical,
claimed the attention of the full house dur
! ing the hour and half he occupied in its
| delivery.
John j. Clanoy, Parnellits, seconded Mr..
| Redmond's motion. As he began 20 speak
| the members began to withdraw and com
parotively few remained TO hear what he
had TO say.
The parliamentary election at Walsall to-
day resulted In the return OF Sir A. ID. Hay

The vacancy at Halifax caused by the

William Harcourt, chancellor of the ex-
chequer.
Mr. Balfour protested against the tyranny
OF the government in trying to forco the
debate. The ministers apparently wanted
the house to sit tall O'Clock In the morn
ing. He said such conduct would neither
promote business nor reflect credits on the
| government.
The motion was rejected by a vote OF 1868
| to 1888.

| tactics OF members who wished
! to delay the home rule bill. He did not de-
! sire, however, TO see the house dividing all
| night, and therefore would consent TO an
| adjournment. The house rose at 2:20
