Parliament was re-opened without
any formaliiies, the house proceeding
mediately to the duties of the day.
Owing to the controversial character
of the educational bill. and the un-
bending determination of both sides,
the session promises to be the occa-
sion of the most serious party struggle
witnessed in the house OF commons
since the last liberal government re.
tired from Office.
The sitting opened with q turbulent
debate. Premier Balfour moved that
the remainder of the session be en-
tirely devoted to government business
which, he explained, would consist
mainly of tire discussion of the educa.
tion bill and London water bill, while
the Indian budget, the Uganda railroad
sugar bounties and the supply vote
would take up the proceedings later.
The Transyaal, be added, also would
require dICSuClOu.
Sir Edward Brice, leading the Lib
erals, in the absence Of Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman, made mild
protest and then came storm.
Patrick O'Brien, sitting in the place
usually occupied by Jonn Redmond,
the Irish leader in the house, asked
that at least a day between now and
Christmas holidays, be devoted to the
discussion of the serious state of f-
fairs in Ireland.
Mr.>Balsour replied that if the re.
quest for such an opportunity came
from the Liberal leaders, the govern.
ment would grant 1t, but they could
not notice it from The Irish party.
William 'O'Brien thereupon made
an impassioned speech, warning the
house that Ireland was on the verge
of revolt. The constitution, he said,
was practically suspended and now the
members were gagged in the only par
lament they had.
Throughout Mr.. O'Brien's remarks
the Irish members kept up a perfect
storm of applause. When Mr.. Wund-
ham, the chief secretary for Ireland,
entered the house. the Irish members
hlssed him loudly and the speaker,
who was frequently on his feet, ask
ing for order, sternly repressed the
demonstration.
Mr.. Lloyd Gerard: backed up by
Irish members and T. P. O'Connor,
wrought the excitement to fever heat.
bitterly upbraiding Mr.. Balfour for
declaring that Irish matters must only
be discussed by favor OF the English
liberals.
Members of the house Of lords, as
spectators, crowded in to the house or
commons in expectation of a scene, as
the Irish members became more and
more excited. The climax came unex-
pectedly. Mr.. Healy, amid intense
excitement, said:
Healy Sizzling Mad.
"I wish to speak as a native OF
Uganda" and then in speech when
on all sides was characterized as one
of the finest satires ever heard in the
