Is Dropped.

LONDON. Nov. 13.-The house OF
commons the popular house of the
mother Of parllaments," was the
scene tonight of riot over Premier
Asquiths proposal to rescind the ac-
Won of Monday, when the unionlsts
carried by a majority of 22. Sir Fred
erick Banburys amendment, defeating
the most important financial feature
of the home rule bill.
The unionists refused to permit the
debate and the speaker was forced
to adjourn the session on account of
the disorder. This is an extremely
rare necessity, and the situation Is
considered a critical one.
The unionists almost unanimously,
threaten that they will continue to
make business In the house impossible
unless the prime minister accepts the
amendment or drops the home rule
IN They declare that his action Is
unprecedented and Will be obstructed
by unprecedented measures. Their OBJ
ject is to force the government to
@sign.
Called Minister Traitors.
The uproar far exceeded that which
stifled Premier Asquith's speech when
he introduced the home rule bill, and
has not been equalled since the free
fight over Gladstone's first home rule
measure. The ministers were taunted
with epithets like traitors" and
apes
Sir William Bull, unionist for Ham,
mersmith, was ordered from the floor
for repeatedly calling Mr.. Asquith a
traitor"
After the adjournment the unionists
doubled up programs and threw them
across the floor at the prime minister.
Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord
of the admiralty, was hit with heavy
book hurled from the camp of the
enemy. A fight appeared imminent
until VIII Crooks, the labor member.
poured oil on the troubled waters by
starting the singing of Aud Lang
Syne.'
When the session began, there were
PACKED benches. The premier's fol-
lovers gave him a great cheer on his
entrance and demonstrated that they
were present In force by defeating
u motion to adjourn early in the pro-
ceedings by vote of 327 to 21S.
Wanted Action Revoked.
The substance of Mr.. Asquith's mo-
lion was that the Banbury amendment
be rescinded Notwithstanding any
thing In any standing order of the
house." and that the order of tho
house in respect to the home rule
bill take effect as though Mondays
proceedings had not taken place. The
effect of this would be practically to
begin again the consideration of the
bill at the clause where the Banbury
amendment was offered.
Andrew Bonar Law, leader of the
opposition, had the floor quickly and
inquired whether there was any prece-
dent for the governments course, and
whether it would not destroy all safe
guards for regularity in the house
Of commons proceedings.
Amid loud opposition cheering, the
speaker replied that he could find no
precedent for resembling a decision of
the house arrived at during the pas
sage of a bill. Whether 1t would de-
stroy the safeguards was matter on
which every member must form his
own judgment.
Did Not Understand.
There was long discussion on the
parliamentary points, and then Mr.
Asquith arose and said that no notice
had been given of the amendment Of
0fered by Sir Frederick Banbury and
that its discussion was BRIEF He
doubted IL the members of either side
|had appreciated its importance. 1t
