London, Nov. l4.-The house of
commons was the scene last night of
"A riot over Premier Asquith's propos-
al to rescind the action of Monday
when the unionists by a majority of
% carried Sir Frederick Banbury's
amendment defeating the most inn
portant financial feature of the home
rule bill.
The unionists refused to permit the
debate TO go on and the speaker was
forced TO adjourn the session on ac-
count of the disorder. This is an eX-
tremely rare necessity and the s.tua-
tion is considered critical.
The unionists almost unanimously
threaten that they will continue to
make business in the house impossible
unless the prime minister accepts the
amendments or drops the home rule
bill. They declare that this action
is unprecedented and will be obstruct-
ed by unprecedented measures. Their
object is to force the government to
resign.
The uproar far exceeding that which

Sir William Bull, union for Ham

for repeatedly calling Mr.. Asquith a

doubled programs and threw them
across the floor at the prime minister.
