TO the queens was agreed 70.
The speaker read the queens speech in
the House OF Commons. Mr.. Gavin Brown
Clark. radical. raised an objection to the
passage referring 10 outragcs on mission
aries. who, he said, were really Scotch
and Irish.
Speaker Gully overruled the objection.
The Hon. T. Wodehouse Leigh conser-
vative. eldest son of Lord Newton. moved
the address in reply 10 the queens speech.
The motion was seconded by the new con-
servative member for Hackney, 7. Her
bert Robertson.
Before debating the address IN reply 10
the queens speech, Sir Richard Webster,
the attorney general. made a motion for
the production of a copy Of the conviction
and judgment against John DAILY. who Is
now serving a sentence for treason, felony
and who was returned as member of
parliament by the city of Limerick In the
last election. Sir Richard said on the
authority OF a chief In the government
Of Portland prison. that Daily is still under
ging sentence there.
John John Redmond Parnelitte member
for Waterford City said he recognized
this motion as being merely formal one.
Nevertheless, it was the first step In pro-
ceedings aiming to override the unanimous
selections of the electors OF Limerick. He
would protest against II by calling for a
division OF the House. The motion was
Carried by vote of Sl4 to r.
Mr. DAILY was arrested when in possess
sion of dynamite bombs. He was tried with
J. Il. Egan and others at the Warwick
assizes In 1884, convicted of treason felony
and sentenced to penal servitude for life
The pardon which was granted to some
who were convicted of similar offences
was not extended to DAILY. There is no
chance of DAILY ever serving In parliament
for the reason that the acts Of 1870, which
abolished attainder for felony deals with
the matter in express terms. 1t provides
that no person thereafter. convicted and
sentenced for "a term exceeding twelve
months Imprisonment, unless he shall
have received a free pardon within two
months of sentence. or shall have suffer-
ed punishment, shall be capable Of being
elected or sitting or voting as member
of either House of parliament
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, chancel-
lor OF the eXchequer In the late ministry
and leader of the liberals In the House,
said he hoped the Armenian question
would not be allowed to sleep.
A. ]. Balfour, first lord OF the treasury,
said the government was doing its best
TO carry into effect the policy regarding
Armenia that had been initiated by the
preceding parliament, but they must
guard against anything suggestive of a
crusade in which the Moslem would be
dlNANEu against
IL did not appear to be "A necessity, Mr..
Balfour declared, that any legislation on
the Irish land question should be had
until the next session of parliament.
Sir Charles w. Dixie reminded the House
that the Chinese government had always
protested against the residence of mis-
sionaries IN the empire; he said the mis-
sionarles certainly ought to conform IN
every possible way TO the cusioTns OF the
country. but, he added, he feared they
did not always do so.
John Redmond, the Parnelite leader,
| then moved the amendment TO the address
in reply to the queens speech, of which
he had previously given notice, calling
upon the government to declare It's policy
In regard to home rule for Ireland. the
reform of the land laws, the compulsory
purchase Of land, evicted tenants and the
Industrial condition of the country. The
amendment was seconded by Mr.. Joseph
Kenny.
Pending the debate on this amendment,
Timothy Harrington, IN support of the
| amendment, referred to the attitude Of
the Liberal party toward home rule dur
ing the last election as unknown, when
a member whose Identity was not dis

anti-Parneliite, cried out, That's lie"

believe to be the truth.
The speaker then named DR.. Tanner
for gross disobedience to the chair and
for willful disorder.
DR.. Tanner responded: ION the contrary,
sir, anything that comes to me from the
chair, i am only too happy to do, but |
cannot tell an untruth"
Mr. Joseph Chamberlain then moved
that DIR. Tanner be suspended, ana amid
cheers, the speaker put the question. The
responses were mainly "ayes" and a few
noes The speakers announcement OF the
result Of the vote was challenged and the
usual result followed.
The speaker declared the motion car
ried and ordered DR.. Tanner to withdraw,
but the latter did not move. Thereupon
the speaker directed the sergeant-at-arms
to remove him. DIR. Tanner at once rose
from his seat, bowed to the chair and
marched down the gangway. Turning, he
shouted: Il have greater pleasure In leay-
ing than l had entering this dirty house."
He pointed at Mr.. Chamberlain. at whom

| did DR.. Tanner turn and repeat the cpl

as the attendants elected him, were: You

pended.
