ton yesterday, declaring that Chairman
Mellor in suspending Mr.. Sexton Tues
day night at the sitting OF the commit
toe Of the whole had exceeded his au.
thority.
Mr.. Gladstone replied that he
doubted the possibility OF promising q

OF the whole for the further discussion

eral), member for East Edinburgh, was
opposed to the withdrawal Of the ain.
and-out" section OF clause nine, an.
nouncement OF which was made BY Mr..
Gladstone yesterday, and he spoke at
length against the course Of the prime
minister. He said that the withdrawal
OF this subsection gave to the Irish
members retained in the imperial par.
lament all tho rights and privileges
held by British members, and that this
would deprive Great Britain Of home
rule by making the Irish members the
arbiters OF British interests.
Mr.. Henry Labouchere, the well
known Radical member, said that he
advocated the total exclusion OF the
Irish from the imperial parliament,
but, he added, he would take no course
that would tend to wreck the bill.
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain. the Liberal
Unionist leader, charged Mr.. Gladstone
with decelying the country and with
breaking his publicly expressed pledge
against the retention OF the power
OF tho Irish members to discuss
all affairs OF policy and to vote thereon.

olared, was now unmasked and he.

ofthe house wero crowded with persons
eager to watch the work OF tho govern
ment in forcing through clauses 8, Is.
10, %, 29, "a, % and 20 OF the home
rule bill. The peers gallery was filed
even earlier. Conspicuous among the
visitors was William Lecky.
At 10 o'clock Chairman Mellor an.
piled the cloture to the debate on an
