London, November 15th-In the House
of Commons, Mr. Asquith moved that Sir
Frederick Banbury's amendment regarding
imperial payments to Ireland be resclnded,
Notwithstanding anything i'll any standing
order of he House, and that the Houses
order respecting Home Rule be effective re-
CARELESS of Mondays proceedings, that is,
the consideration of Home Rule should be
resumed where the Baubury amendment was
offered. Mr. Bonar Law asked for a prece-
dent, and, amid Opposition cheers, the Speak
En- replied that the motion was without "a
precedent. Mr.. Asquith and Mr.. Bonar Law
debated the point, and then the latter NOV
ed for an adjournment which was lost by o
vote of 1927 to 219. Sir Frederick Banbury
moved that the decision of the House could
not be reversed in the same session, ana add
ed that the Governments alternatives were
either resignation or dissolution, instead Of
grnning at the minority like apes. Continu-
ing, he declared, that the Government is
only a circus led by rebels, and Obstetrics
should go home and prepare to resist Home
Rule. MIR Harcouft and Sill Rufus Isaacs
were inaudibie, and business ~beingimpossibIp,
the Speaker ordered an hours al jDurnmtut.
Upon reconvening there was similar disorder
led by Sir Edward Carson shoutiug"No more
business in this House ever" The Speaker
ruled that the grave disorder required au
adjournment over night, but there were OPP
posing shouts and nobody moved. Docu-
ments were hurled among the Ministers c US
tered around the clerks table, one hit Mr.. As
quith, who faced the attack with folded ms
and face White and midi nant, finally turning
slowly toward the door amid yells Of approx

the St. Augustine's division If Kent, flung
a heavy volume, which struck Nh Churchill
square in the chest. Some Liberals started
II rush, but were restrained by their cooler
colleagues and II fight was averted.
The excitement Iivalled TINT in 1883, then
unprecedented, when amid a chorus of cries
of "~traitor" Ievelled at Mr.. Asquith, the
Speaker threatened The nknown dIsturbers.
Sir William Gull. Mp. for Hnmmersmith
and Captain Craig, MI for County Down,
rose together and repeated the cries of
"traitor," wher eupon the Speaker ordered
the former to depart, and he stnlked away
leisurely. The session constantly resounded
with shouts Of "adiourn" whoever was
speaking, and the House emptied amid shouts
of 'scrap Home Rule" "uo Home Rule"
while Mr.. Crooks, NJ. p. for Woolwich, led
the song 'should amid acquaintance be for
got. Later both sides held meetings and
resolved TO persist in their attitudes. HE
outlook is considered serious.
The Powers have pres nted Bulgaria
Turkeys request for mediation and
asked Tor her views. Turkey has asked
Bulgaria for IN armistice pending negOtia-
tions for peace, but the disputed points,
heretofore mention d, teing unsettled, hos-
%tilities will proceed at Adranople, Monster,
Scutari and in fact everywhere except at
Ichataldja, but it is believed the Powers
will escape involvement. Albania has pub
lished Il prrcla nation of autonomy, and pro-
tested against any Interference with her
freedom and integrity. Austria has made
representations to Montenegro respecting
her occupation of Alesio and Sangiovanni
di Medua, but Montenegro replied that
neither Albania nor Turkey now exists. and,
thel efore, Montenegro regards Austria's COM
munication as null. In answering Italy's
identica representation, Montenegro said
that Italy's engagements towards Austria
regarding Albania lapsed with the decease
of the territorial status quo.
