British Rule
Is Condemned.

LONDON, Oct. 27.-An impassion-
ed condemnation of British rule in
Ireland was again heard tonight
from the Nationalist section Of
the House of Commons. The pro-
ceedings were occasionally interrupt
ed by thu taunts with which the
| scenes are regularly accompanied.
| With the assistance of a number CT
Liberal members, including Sir Hen
ry Campbell Bannerman and Sir viii.
liam Vernon Harcourt the National
lists mustered sufficient votes to per-
nit William O'Brien to move the ad.
journment of the House for the pur-
pose of discussing the proclamation
of the crimes act in Ireland
O'Brien argued that the harsh ad-
ministration of this act was endang.
ering the peace of Ireland He ac-
cused Secretary Wyndham Of employ
ing Englands power to enable the
territorial magnates of Ireland to
play their own game. He contended
that Dublin was much more peacea-
BILE than Birmingham, and said the
Irish were prepared to make gener-
Gus terms with the landlords if the
latter would act as Irishmen instead
of posing as " countryless, half-caste
Anglo-Iiish octoroons."
Other Irishmen having spoken,
Wyndham, in defense of the Gov
eminent, said illegal intimidation
must be suppressed, and although he
disliked to use military terms he de-
clared that pending the settlement
of peace between the contending
forces the fighting must 60 on a
statement which excited fresh out |

ing, "A very foolish observation and
I'VE accept the challenge" Wynd- |
ham continued by citing numerous
cases of boycotting, and concluded
his speech by declaring it was hope
less to persuade Parliament to deal |
with the land question while this
system of intimidation prevailed.
Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman |
blamed the Government for refusing |
facilities for the discussion of Irish
matters, and declared that Wyndnam
had failed to justify the enforcement
of the crimes act He said that az |

Ireland had "a crimes act for its

The House then divided on o.

by 215 votes to 112.
