LONDON. Sept. 2.-The end OF the beginning
OF the struggle for Irish self government came
at l o'clock this morning. when the Home

majority OF a. The climax came finally with
out great excitement or dramatic outburst.
but the scene ives III EN- orable and i'm posing.
1t is doubtful whether the personal or politi-

for Ireland. undoubtedly. but 1t was the crown

lands greatest commoner and statesman.
Even the Irish members. in the almost intoxi-
cation Of JOY over their first victory In the long
campaign which for many years they have
been waging. did not forget the tribute due to
the aged Prime Minister In the storm OF cheers
with which the result was greeted.
The debate which preceded the division was
perhaps the most brilliant Of fine oratorical
displays which the eighty days discussion
has produced. 1t ended with one OF the most
eloquent speeches from John Morley. which
tho cause OF Ireland has inspired. Replying
to Col. Saunderson he overwhelmed that gen.
tleman's arguments by q swift review Of the
history Of 1relands struggle for self-govern-
mont He said that the logic OF events with
the proof that nothing can silence the demand
OF many generations OF the Irish people made
futile all further opposition.
Does 1t not come homo to tho honorable
gentleman" exclaimed the speaker in pro-
phetic climax. that he is fighting for q lost
cause?"
The words were most impressively uttered
in the silent House. and Col Saunderson. to
whom they were addressed. seemed physically
to collapse before them as though giving way
to the despair which the sudden revelation
brought to him.
The impression made by Morley's speech
was SO great that the division which followed
took place amid solsm-l quite foreign to
the House Of Commons. The members filed
out into the Hobbies quietly. and cheering over
the issue did not commence until they began
