Oh
London, March g. - After midnight
Mr.. BaIfour applied the cloture
on the education estimates. The
Nationalists shouted Gag! Gag!" and re-
fused to leave the House where the di-
vision was taken. The chairman then re-
ported the matter to the Speaker. The
Speaker finally asked if the members still
refused to obey the order, and there were
cries of "Yesw The Speaker then named
sixteen recalcitrants and Mr.. Balfour
moved their suspension. This was agreed
to without a division.
The Speaker ordered them to withdraw,
but they refused, amid great uproar. The
Speaker called upon the sergeant-at-arms
40 remove them. They shouted defiance.
Officers and policemen then entered to
enforce removal.
Police Garry Out the Irish.
Mr.. Eugene Cream, member for South
east Cork, struggled desperately against
removal, and there was quite free fight
on the floor lasting for five minutes, 9TH
er Irishmen assisting him. Eventually
he was carried out bodily by six police
men amid yells and cheers.
The police then returned and carried
out each of the remaining recalcitrants
in the same manner. Six policemen suf-
feed for each member, with the exception
of Mr.. F'lavin, who is a big man, and re-
quired eight.
Many, as they were being carried out,
waved their hands and shouted:
God save Ireland"
Those who were removed included
Messrs. John Cullinan, Patrick White,
Patrick McHugh William Lundon, Will
liam Abraham, Patrick Dugan, Anthony
Donelan, Thomas McGovern, jeremiah
Jordan and James Kilhooly.
The trouble arose through Mr.. Balfour
closing the whole educational estimates
without giving an opportunity to discuss
the Irish votes.
At o'clock the Speaker said:
THE House will now resume proceed
ings in committee, and l trust that hon
orable members will now leave the
House"
The Irish members shouted that they
would not leave. The chairman agreed
to put the vote on account adding, there
being no tellers or noes, that the ayes
had it, Amid laughter and cheers the
House adjourned.
COnstabIes Badly Handled.
Neither Mr., Dillon, Mr.. John. Redmond,
nor Mr.. T. P. O'Connor was present,
One or two constables were badly handled
in the scuffle. The suspensions will last
for one week Never before had such
scene occurred in the House as accom-
panied the removal of Mr.. Cream. He
struggled fiiercely with the attendants,
who summoned the police, dozen con-
stables entering the House.
The Nationalists jeered at them. The
irish shouted: Don't kill him. Don't
kill the mani"
The Nationalists fought and struggled
frantically; but al length superior
force of police succeeded in dragging Mr..
Clean out by the legs and arms and car
rying him down the floor of the House,
the Irishmen standing and wildly shout
ing "Shamev' "Murderersw and South
African brutality!
The Speaker then called upon Mr.. Nc
Hugh to retire, but he defianuy refused.
A strong body of twenty policemen again
stormed the Irish benches. Angry shouts
rent the air. The benches below the
gangway on the opposition side were a
mass of mad and struggling humanity.
Several policemen were struck with lists.
Free fights between the police and the
members were fairly general.
Amid renewed howls of execration the
police grappled with the others and car
ried them out by arms and legs over the
benches and out of the house. While Mr..
Douelan was being removed, the National
lists rose and sang God Save Ireland"
Mr.. Flavin shouted against the Unionists
who sat silent in their seats during the
scene, "You will be carried out of South
Africa in the same way!
The Nationalists jeered Mr.. Balfour and
the other ministers as they left the build
ing.
