REJECTED.
The British House of Lords, by Vote of
4I9 to Al. Decid : the Fate of Glad
stone,s Famoua Measure

stones Famous Measure.
LONDON. Sept. 1.-THE house of lords
Friday night rejected the home rule
bill by vote of 4l9 TO Al. A signifi-
can't feature of the discussion was the
fact that special police force was or
dered to report for duty in the palace
yard in front of the house of parliament
in order to be ready for immediate ae-
ton in case of hostile demonstration
against the lords after division on the
home rule bill.
Although il was generally understood
the house of lords would reject the bill
the house did not fill up until after the
dinner hour, popular interest centering
in the speech of the marquis of Sails
bury. who was not expected to rise I'M
til toward midnight. In the meantime
Baron Halsbury, Baron Herscheil,
Baron Monkswell and the marquis of
Ripon had spoken to half empty
benches.
The lord high chancellor. Lord
Herschell, during the course of his
able plea for the bill asked, if things
were left alone. would there be no dam
ger from the American sympathizers
with the cause of ireland. Lord Her
schell admitted the difficulty of franz
ing home-rule measure which would
not be open to objection But, he re-
minded his hearers, they must not for
get that a small number of men of
English blood framed the United States
constitution which had stood the test
of 100 years. and which had been the
admiration of the world. Surely he
continued, I'VE are not reduced to such
a state of impotence as To- be unable TO
improve the relations existing between
the Irish and the English
Lord Salisbury was long and loudly
cheered when he stood up to make the
closing speech and it was some time
before he was allowed To proceed.
At the close of his speech the
division was taken. The latter
proceeding lasted over half an hour
and resulted in a vote of 4I9 against
the bill and Al in favor of it. An
analysis of the vote shows that twenty
five bishops and both archbishops who
were present at the division all voted
with the ma ority. The vote was the
largest ever recorded in the house OF
lords.
The announcement of the result was
received with laughter and some cheer
ing. The house then cleared of spec
tators and adjourned Immediately.
Outside of the building at mid
night a distinctly unionist demon
stration was held, consisting in
flourishing the Union Jack, the
singing of patriotic songs, and cheering
for Lord Salisbury, the duke of Argyle
and Joseph Chamberlain. Sl1yrockets
were sent up from the precincts of the
house and were greeted with ringing
cheers. A few home rulers protested,
but there was no disorder.
