Obnoxious Rsdicsl In the I.0bbies.

.,peciIl Gable Despatch 10 THk Sun.
LONDON. April 5.-The debate on the
lords veto bill produces from time to
time heated episodes in the House Of
Commons. Such an occasion arose to-
night when Lord Hugh Cecil's reckless
tongue lashed the raucals to fury.
Premier Asquith. who is indsposed.
was absent from the House and Winston
Churchill was acting as the Government
leader, a fact which was partly respon-
sble for the tension. as the Home Secre-
tsry always has the effect upon the op-
position OF a red rag waved before bull.
Cecil not knowing the cause OF the
absence OF the Premier accused him Of
idleness and a failure to attend to his
duties. When the uproar following had
subsided Sir Robert Finlay complained
that the House was not suffering so much
from the absence OF Mr.. Asquith as it was
from the presence OF Mr.. Churchill.
The excitement then overhowed into the
lobby, where something near to . fight
occurred. The younger members Of tho
rival parties and the hotheads. while q
division was being taken. began throwing
one another's hats about and indulged
in general horseplay.
The Unionists hustled william
Clough, the member from Yorkshire.
roughly. Mr.. Clough Is the sanctimonious
radical fanatic who recently attracted
attention to himself by his pharisaical
utterances in libel suit. He had few
stirring moments until he was rescued by
friend.
When all the members had returned to
the House Mr.. Churchill. with consider
able display OF anger. complained to the
Speaker of "the gross organized insult"
TO which Mr.. Clough had been subjected.
The Speaker administered q pedagogio
reblke to the naughty Unionists. but
finally turned the subject with light
word or two and restored the House TO
It's accustomed good humor.
