London, March Sat midnight to-
night Mr., Balfour, the government
leader in the House of Commons, ap-
piled the closure on the education es-
Inmates. The Nationalists 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" Mr.. Flavin cried: 81
protest against the way all Irish votes
are closured"
The chairman then intimated 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. The speaker
having returned to the house, the chair-
man reported the matter to him, and
the speaker asked If the Irish MEM
bers still refused to obey the order, and
there We're cries of yes, yes" The
speaker then named sixteen reealci-
trants and Mr. Balfour moved their
suspension. This was agreed to with
out division.
The speaker ordered them to with
draw, but they refused amid great up
roar, The speaker called upon the SER
geant at arms to remove them. They
shouted defiance. The deputy sergeant
at arms advanced and asked them to
leave, still they refused. AT this a
number of officers and policemen en-
tered TO enforce removal. Eugene
Cream, member for southeast Cork,
struggled desperately against removal
and there was free fight on the floor
lasting for five minutes other Irishmen
assisting him. Eventually he was car
ried out bodily by six policemen amid
yells and cheers.
The police then returned and carried
out each Of the remaining recalcitrants
in the same manner, although there
was no further actual resistance. Six
policemen sufffced for each member,
with the exception of Mr.. Flavin, who
is big man. and required eight. Many
as they were being carried out, waved
their hands and shouted "God save
Ireland"
Those removed were Messrs. John
Culinan, Patrick White, Patrick Nc
Hugh, William Lundon, William Abra
ham, Patrick Dugan, Anthony Donelan,
James Gilhooly, Thomas MoGovern,
and Jeremiah Jordan. Neither Mr.. Dill
Ion. John Redmond, nor Mr.. O'Connor
was present, having already left the
house. One or two contables were bad
ly handled in the scuffle. The suspen-
sion will last for one week.
The trouble arose through Mr.. Bal
four closuring the whole education es-
Inmates without giving an opportunity
to discuss the Irish votes.
At / o'clock the speaker said: ',The
house will now resume proceedings in
and I trust that honorable
members will now leave the house"
The Irish members shouted that they
would not leave. The Irish members
shouted that they would not leave.
The chairman again put the vote on
account, adding. there being no tellers
or noes, that the ayes had it. Amid
laughter and cheers the house adj
iourned.

lie commenting on the scenes In the
house says The Irishmen surpassed
aven their old worst records. The
scene carried us back to the worst days
If Parnelrs home rule struggle and
must still further lessen for the Irish
