COMMONS HAS A RIOT
Hot Time in the Old House When
Closure Was Objected to by
the Irish Members.
SIXTEEN OF THEM ARE SUSPENDED
And Each of the Sixteen Has To Be
Carried Out Bodily by
Policemen.

London, March 6. = The commons
was the scene this morning of the
most riotous conduct ever recorded OF
that body. Just after midnight Bal
four applied closure on the education
estimates. The Irish shouted gag,
gag" and refused to leave the house
when the division was taken. The
chairman twice asked them to retire
to the division lobby, but they shouted
Certainly not" Flavin cried Il pro-
test against the way all Irish votes
are closursd.'' The chairman then in
timated that he must report the matter
TO the speaker. In the meantime the
other members had returned from the
lobbies amid some uproar, thirty or
forty Irishmen remaining in their
seats.
Sixteen Rioters Suspendsd-
The speaker having returned to the
house, the chairman reported the mat
ter to him and the speaker asked if
the Irish mob still refused to obey
the order and there were cries of
Yes, yes" The speaker then named
sixteen recalcitrants and Balfour moved
their suspension. This was agreed to
without a division. The speaker or
dered them to withdraw, but they re-
fused amid great uproar. The speaker
then called upon the sergeant-at-arms
to remove them. They shouted def
ance. The deputy sergeant alarms
advanced and asked them to leave:
still they refused. At this number of
officers and policemen entered 10 en-
force removal.
Police Have Tough~Job.
Eugene Cream. member for South
east Cork, struggled desperately
against removal, and there was quite
n free fight on the floor, lasting for
five minutes, other Irishmen assisting
him. Eventually he was carried out
bodily by six policemen amid yells and
cheers. The police then returned and
carried out each of the remaining re-
calcitrants in the same manner. al
though there was no further actual re-
sistance. Six policemen Sufficed for
each member, with the exception of
Flavin. who is Il big man and re-
quired eight. Many as they were be
ing carried out waved their hands and
shouted "GOd save Ireland"
Government Wins the Fight.
The trouble arose through Balfour
closuring the whole education esti-
mates without giving an opportunity
to discuss the Irish votes. At ] a. III.
the speaker said: The house will now
resume proceedings in committee, and
| trust that honorable members will
now leave the house." The Irish men,
bers shouted that they would not
leave. TIE chairman again put the
vote on account. adding that there be-
ing no teller or noes the ayes had
it. Amid laughter and cheers the
house adjourned.
