LONDON, March 13.-In the House Of
Commons to-day the Chief Secretary for
Ireland. the Right Hon. John Morley,
said that the references Of the Right
Hon. A. J. Bslfour, the Conservative
leader in the House, to the evicted ten
ants saVored Of vindictiveness and re-
minded the House that the Liberal
Unionlst speakers had declared In favor
OF the reinstatement Of the evicted ten
ants upon reasonable terms
Mr.. Morley then referred to Lord
Rosebery's much commented upon
speech Of yesterday evening in the
House Of Lords. saying that Lord Rose
berry in stating that before Home Rule
was conceded to Ireland, the English
majority must be convinced OF its neces-
sity, meant to say that tho Home Rule
bill would meet the same isto as before,
unless the peers are convinced that the
feeling OF the English people favored lt.
[CheersI.
Mr.. Morley said that the government
was not blind to the fact that the ma
jority Of English commoners were
OPPOSED TO HOME RULE;
but It was an impossible proposition 10
distinguish between the English and
imperial majority.
Mr.. Morley continued: at Is impos.
sible TO trace hard and fast line re-
garding the date when home rule will
be introduced. We frankly admit that
in tho case Of a bill Of such constltu.
tional magnitude We are bound
TO prosecute them with a
despatch which the circumstan-
ces allow, having regard for the time Of
the session. 10 is premature 10 expect
the government 10 give a cut and dried
statement as 20 whether the home rule
bill will be re-introd need, amended or
not amended. or whether a dlssolutioQ
will first be brought about without r
other home rule bin being passed. The
government, however, Is composed OF
men OF honor, who will never finch
from nor cease to adhere 70 tho homs
rule policy which Mr. Gladstone pressed
upon u.s." Cheers.
Mr.. John Redmond, the Parnellita
leader, said that he sympathlzed with a
most humiiatlng position 10 explaining
Lord Rosebery's utteraDces, and added
that he must express dissatisfaction a.
the recent declaration Of the ministers.
His friends recognized that a general
election was necessary before the home
rule bill could be passed aud were
afraid that a dissolution would indean-
ltely postpone It, and that home rule
WOULD BE QUIETLY sHELvED.
The leadership OF the home rule
policy, according 70 Mr.. Redmond had
passed from Mr. Gladstone TO men In
whom they (the Parnelitesl had no
strong faith and whose declarations
we're hating and ambiguous. COntlnu-
ing. Mr.. Redmond said that II was
clear from Lord Rosebery's statement
and from Sir william Harcourrs state
mant that the homo rule bill would not
be relntroduced In this parliament and
that dissolution would not occur un-
I'll the whole New Castle programme
had been sent up TO the House Of Lords.
Mr. Henry LaB0uchere proposed a.
an amendment 30 the address In reply
70 the Queens speech, the abolition Of
the House Of Lords.
After some discussion, and consldera-
Bile excitement, the amendment was
put 70 a vote and was passed. ifT 10
to 145, in spite Of the opposition Of the
government.
When the figures were announced
they caused An ou;burst Of prolonged
cheering, which was reneWed when The
Deputy speaker read the address 10 ro-
ply 70 the Queens speech, with
MR. LABoUcHEBE's AMENDMENT
attached 70 Il.
A manifesto issued by the National
Reform Union tonight says that 10 is
useless TO hope that popular reforms
can be achieved even by Liberal gov
ernment unless the powers and priyi-
leges OF the House Of Lords, "whlch en-
ables selfish and lrresponsible clique
70 Illustrate aud Otilats snch measures,"
be curtalled or abolished.
The National Reform Union tnefe-
fore calls for determined Efforts 20 et-
tablish the ssli-goVernmsnt Of the
British people upon truly dsnoerailc
basis and By the abolition Of she House
OF Lords.
