GOVERNMENT BEATEN.
A second later the members who had
crowded in realized that the Govern
ment had been beaten, and then arose
such a cheer as Westminster has not
heard for many a day. The Irish and
Liberal members clambered upon
benches and yelled themselves hoarse,
and for nearly five minutes pandemo
MUM reigned. Several times Sir Thorn
as EsmCnde tried to read out the fig
ures. but his voice was drowned in the
uproar.
Balfour, who had been just in time
to vote for the Government, sat smil-
ing grimly. Finally there was COM
parative quiet, and Sir Thomas Es
monde read:
Ayes, 141; noes. 130."
At this the storm of cheering broke
out afresh. The Government was de-
feated by eleven votes.
A rush to the lobby followed, and the
members animatedly discussed whether
or not Balfour would resign. The Pre-
mier. however, set these doubts at rest
by saying that he saw no reason for
such action. Thanks to the prolonged
hectoring of Balfour, the Government
whips got the chance Of summoning
their absent supporters and when about
ten minutes later John Redmond moved
to report progress on the ground that
the Government had not a majority
able TO transact the business of the
Government the Government secured
a narrow majority of %. If the divi-
sion had occurred few minutes earlier
the Government inevitably would have
been defeated and compelled to resign.
To avert this old men who had not run
for many a year came rushing into
the House, painfully out of breath.
Sir Thomas Henry Carson had not even
waited to put on necktIe. BY a Gu
rious coincidence the only other de-
feat suffered by the Unionist party
since Lord Salisbury came into power
and which endangered the existence of
the Government occurred nearly eight
years ago on Thomas. Esmonde's

Convict Woods Case Submitted.

PLACERVILLE, March 15.-The
case against John H. Wood, the
escaped convict, on trial for the muir
der of J. Festus Rutherford last Au-
gust, was submitted to the jury to-day
at o'clock. An hour after retiring
they came into court to have the tes-
timony as to the firing of the 3030
shots repeated to them and again re-
tired. The defense during the trial en-
deavored to establish an alibi by put
ting on a witness who testified that
Wood was in a different part of the
county three days previous to the day
of the murder at Manzanita Hill.
There can be no verdict now before
Tomorrow.

ures Of the voting on division and the
readers were left to guess whether or
not the Government had resigned. A
wild rush was made for the House Of
Commons and many elderly members
ran half a mile or more, while others
drove recklessly to Westminster.
Within the House of Commons itself
a strange scene was being enacted. An
unusually short list of questions had
brought on the business of the day
nearly half an hour ahead of the
usual time. Then languidly the House
resolved itself into a committee Of
supply to discuss the vote for Irish ed
feated. Profound peace reigned and
there was not a sign of the coming
parliamentary storm except TO the
few initiated. who keenly watched the
whispered conference taking place be-
tween the Irish whips. John Red
mond made a complaint about the
prohibition Of Gaelic in the schools.
but instead of a long speech. which
il would seem that he had prepared,
judging by the volume Of the notes in
his hand, the Irish leader said only
few words. Wyndham replied with
equal brevity and it was evident he
was saving himself for a string of pro-
tests from the other Irish members.
SOLEMN SILENCE.
The treasury bench was deserted
save for the chief secretary for Ireland
and three Of his junior colleagues, and
barely twenty supporters Of the Gov
ernment were in their places. Oppo-.
site was John Morley with Herbert
Gladstone and Richard Knight Caus-
ton. the Liberal whips. These sat in
solemn silence on the front bench, with
q sprinkling of Liberals behind them.
Sir Henry Campbell -Bannerman, the
leader of the Liberal party, was alb
sent. Balfour chatted merrily in the
spectators gallery with friend. Then
a bolt fell.
No one rose to reply TO Wyndham.
the Irish party for once utilizing silence
as it's deadliest weapon. Redmond had
said there were to be no speeches and
though the rank and file of the Nation
alists did not know the reason, not
having been admitted to the secret
plan set on foot the previous evening
DE tnelf leaueI ana lnelT CnleI WHIP
they obeyed implicitly. Discipline tri-
umphed and not one word came from
the Irish members of the benches The
Liberals, too, sat in silence, though
they were ignorant Of the projected
coup. and without a reply a division
was inevitable Only then did Wynd-
ham and the Government whips realize
how deliberately they had been out
witted.
John Redmond and Sir Thomas Es-
monde had planned the division for
o'clock and the bells therefore changed
through the House at 2:55. In desper-
alton the Government whips sent mes
sengers in cabs and with kilograms and
telephone, but without avail, for when
the tellers reported the clerk Of the
House handed Sir Thomas Esmonde
