Measure
LONDON, June 2S,-ME Gladstone
made an announcement in the house Of
commons to-day which caused much
Joy among the Irish members and those
OF the Radical party who believe that
the time has come Tor throwing out
many OF the amendments to the homo
rule bill offered by the opposition for
the purpose OF delaying the passage of
the measure Mr., Gladstone stated
that tomorrow no would move the
adoption Of a resolution calling upon
the house to expedite the passage OF the
bill, This announcement was greeted
with cheers by the government sup
porters Mr.. Gladstone added that the
tcrms Of the resolutions were nearly
prep0redand he hoped to communicate
1t to tho house before to-day's session
closed.
In reply to a question asked by A. j..
Ballour, leader Of tho opposition in the
house, Mr.. Gladstone said that the res
oIution he proposed to move would be
on tho same principle as the resolution
offered in 1857, though 1t would contain
some important notifications,
Mr. Gladstone was again cheered
upon making this announcement,
After Mr.. Gladstone had announced
his forthcoming resolution, A. j. Bal
four asked that the terms Of the resolu-
tiou be communicated to the opposition
leaders before they were publicly stated
IN the house. With subtle irony Mr..
Gladstone informed Mr.. Balfour that
the resolution was based on the pro-
posal made by the conservatives by
which tho crimes act was rushed
through parliament in 1887. This reply
evoked hearty laughter and ahurricane
Of cheers from the Irish benches Mr..
Baltour WAS not at all put out by the
answer, and az Mr.. Gladstone resumed
his seat Mr.. BRltour smilingly bowed
toward him.
When the prime minister was re-
seated his elated supportors rushed
into the lobbies, where they discussed
the governments plan. The Irish
members are lubilant. The concensus
Of opinion 10 that some such action
could not with safety be longer de-
layed. II this action had not been
taken II would not have been long be-
fore there would have been open revolt
instead OF mutterings In the Irish ranks
against the government,
Mr.. John Morley, chief secretary for
Ireland, subsequently read the terms oil
the resolution. These provide that the
bill shall be reported by July 81, and
shall be closured in four sections. The
clauses 8 to s shall be discussed next
week; clauses 0 to 20 the following
week, and clauses q TO 40 the third
week. Thereafter tho financial clauses
and any new clauses shall be discussed.
Mr.. Morley added that the government
would not receive any dlliatory motion
nor any motion to postpone clause,
unless the motion was made by the
minister in. charge OF the bill. The
rule OF the house ending the daily ses.
sion at midnight would be suspended
tomorrow. II progress should bn re.
ported the chairman Of tue committee
Of the whole should enforce the order.
In any subsequent sitting Of the COM
mitteo the proceedings Hereunder
should not be interrupted BY any stand
ing order relating to the slttings Of tho
house. This statement was received
with cheers.
Mr.. Thomas Wallace Russell lLiberal
Unionist), member for the southern
division Of Tyrone, gave notice that ho
would submit an amendment to tho
resolution.
Mr. Baliour asked II the government
proposed to consider the motion on
adoption OF tho resolution tomorrow.
Did the government, he contended, re-
member tho occasion OF the iptroduc.
ton OF the resolution OF 1887, referred
10 by tho prime minister On that
occasion Mr.. Gladstone aud Mr.. Morley
had both protested against the briet
time allowed them to consider the res.
olution, although that proposal was
vastly less complicated than the present
one.
When Mr.. Gladstone rose to reply to
Mr.. Baliour he was enthusiastically
cheered. He readily admitted his &c.
tion In 1887, but said that tho opinion
ithe house then was that q resolution
like tho one referred TO ought not TO be
kept pending. Moreover, tho house had
already gone through an immense
amount OF work aud q still greater
amount was awaiting lis attention. 4nt
deed, II had become question as ~
whether the honse was or war not able
to discharge the duties with W., ich 1t
had been entrusted,
This statement ollcited further cheeri
ing from the government supporters.
Mr.. Gladstone further said that there
was no auol question In 1887 as existed
now. On the grounds Of public duty
he must decline 10 accede TO the wish
Of Mr.. Ballour that further time bo
given the opposition 10 consider the
terms Of the resolution.
Tho aitling closed amid unbounded
enthusiasm on tho part Of tho Irish,
