DAY IN LONDON.
lbndon, Aug 26.-Ihe last stage Of the Home
Rule debate in the House of Commons will begin
on Wednesday. This beginning of the end will
he marked, probably, by another great speech
from Mr. Gladstone, who will make the motion
for the third reading In this supreme and per-
hans his final effort for the Irish cause. the aged
Premier is likely to touch on a question or two
which the Government has ignored far in the
exhausting and exhaustive discussion Of the bill.
The Radicals are confident that he will speak from
the heart concerning the threatened rejection OF
the bill by the Lords, and many Liberals agree
with them that, without reference to the hostile
attitude Of the Upper House, Mr.. Gadstone's
speech must be found wanting at n crucial point.
After Mr.. Gladstone will come all the masters
of OratOrical fireworks whom the Opposition can
muster. Mr. Goschcn, Chancellor pf the En-
chequer in the last Salisbury Administration, is
expected TO make the first reply to Mr.. Gladstone.
As he is not a debatcr Of the first ORDER however,
the interest of the Unionsts has been concentrated
on the attack which Joseph Chamberlain, the
Judas" of the recent in the House, will
make on the Government in THURSDAYS sitting
Mr. hlfour leader of the Unionists, will deliver
their final protest against the bill on Friday.
John Morley, Chief Secretary for Ireland; Herbert
Asquith, Home Secretary, and Sir William Har-
court, Chancellor of the Exchequer, oil debaters
of the foremost rank, will probably be the Gov
ernment's champions in this final bout with the
Opposition The Home Rule bill will be passed
during Friday nights sitting The rule closing
the debate at midnight will be suspended by the
Government, and at . o'clock the division will
be taken.
This close Of the six-months' struggle is likely
to be attended by scenes of keen excitement. The
Government, however, with vivid rccolections of
the fight that recently disgraced the House, is
making every effort TO keep feeling below the dan
ger point. All the GladstOnan members have
ceived word from headquarters that they mus.
fran from any demonstration likely to anger the
Opposition excessively. If the Irish members
strain their enthusiasm sufficiently TO conform to
this request, there will be no recurrence of b avis
on the floor of the House.
1t now has been decided definitely that the
Home Rule bill shall be introduced in the lIouso
Of Lords on Monday, September 4, and will be
taken to the second reading the following day.
The division will he made and the bill will he
rejected on September s. Some sort of a comrro
