When Mr.. Coudert finished his
speech Baron de Courcelles, presi-
dent of the tribunal, said to him:
"We thank you for the great ability,
liveliness and humor with which you
have carried us over what would
otherwise have been rather dreary
field of questions of fact"
BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
G. @. T. BARLEY, Conservative,
moved an amendment to the home
rule bill, to make the first clause
read, Con and after the appointed
day there shall be in Ireland Legis-
lature subordinate to Parliament"
Gladstone said that Bartley's mo-
tion overstepped the bounds of
parliamentary rules. BARLEY APP
pealed to the chairman, who decided
the words admissible. Gladstone
thereupon denounced the amend
ment as implying distrust of the
Irish Legislature on the part of
Parliament. After considerable de-
bate the amendment was rejected by
a vote of 292 to 257.
Edmund Yates in his cable gossip
says: Something very like split
has occurred between Gladstone and
his youthful Home Secretary. AS
quith made serious faux pas in
trying to rush the employers liabil-
ity bill, and not only did the Pre-
mier inflict on his self-assertive
lieutenant an almost unparalleled
snub, publicly unsaying what he
had said, but gave him warm talk
ing to in private, and Asquith is not
of the mood to take his seedlings
lying down. When Gladstone lean
ed forward on Friday to add his
characteristic qualification to the
positive assertion of the mouthpiece
of the Government the Home Secre-
tary hardly took the trouble to con-
ceal his resentment.
Michael Davitt, anti-Parnellite
member for Northwest Cork, has re-
signed his seat in Parliament, owing
to bankruptcy. Davitt's financial
troubles were caused by the cost at
tendant upon the North Meath cleo
ton contest.
STRONG WORDS FROM WILLIAM.
The army bill was rejected in the
Reichstag by vote of 210 against
the bill to 1S2 in favor of it. A re-
script signed by the Emperor, dis
solving the Reichstag, was imme-
diately promulgated.
After review of the troops on
the Temple Hofferfeld, Emperor
William commanded the highest Of
ficers of the guards to gather around
him and addressed them, saying:
"Trusting to the patriotism of the
Reichstag, | hoped for the uncon-
ditional acceptance of the army bill.
The result has caused me deep dis
appointment and sorrow. During
the last few days passionate words,
which might better have remained
unsaid among gentlemen, have been
spoken. l was obliged to dissolve
the Reichstag in the hope that a new
Reichstag would pass the bill. | am
determined, in case this hope be also
disappointed, to stake all in my
power to obtain the enactment of
the measure, for am too thorough
ly convinced of it's necessity as a
guarantee of the peace Of Europe to
allow it to be finally defeated.
eve are hearing much about the
excitement of the masses just now.
| do not think the German people
will allow themselves to be excited
by irresponsible meddlers. On the
contrary | know | am in sympathy
with the princes of the Federal
States, the people and the army. |
thank you, gentlemen, for your loyal
interest. My desire was to express
to you my views concerning the bill,
as | did when it was introduced"
The officers maintained absolute
silence throughout the speech
though evidently in deep sympathy
with the Kaiser.
The tendency of the public is to
ward the conviction that the EN-
peror is pointing straight for tn,
goal of the Prussian Reactionaries
and that he will not shun conflict
with constitutionalism The CORE
spondent of the Associated Pres.
was assured officially this evening
however, that the Emperor did not
wish his speech to be menace tc
the Reichstag or a challenge to con
nict.
The speech is causing the creates
excitement among the people, ant
there is profound and widespread
impression that the Emperor woult
not hesitate to risk conflict will
the new Reichstag should it Prov
hostile to the bill.
The speech appears in the Nortl
German Universal Gazette in doubl
prominence. Those who heard tn
Emperor say he spoke with unusua
emphasis, pausing at every word il
order to convey the sense of his de
termination to abide by his declare
tions.
Leading men in German polite
who heard the Emperor's speecI
now consider that he has embarke'
on policy of Prussian high Tory
ism, and that the chances of TIA
Freisinnige party to bring about
, moderate liberal era have vanished
