IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
IRISH AFFAIRS.
Received January 26, 4.35 a.m.
London, January 25. By 287 votes to 134, the House of Commons rejected Mr William Redmond's amendment to the Address-in-Reply.
The minority included 63 Nationalists and 71 Radicals.
The abstention of the Roseberyites was a protest against the Nationalists' methods, especially with regard to the traitorous speeches. - Mr Atkinson, Attorney.General for Ireland, said there was no serious crime in Ireland. The League was not proclaimed, and could easily be revived by another name. Non-payment of rent and boycotting were cases which were properly dealt with by the magistrates instead of juries.
Mr Morley, late Chief Secretary for Ireland, made a vigorous criticism of the speech. He supported the amendment, and advocated colonial self-go-vernment for Ireland. London, January 25. Lord Cranborne (Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs) stated in the Commons that the occupation of a seaport in the Persian Gulf by any Power was inconsistent with the maintenance of the status quo. . Replying to a question regarding Manchuria, he said Great Britain's policy was to maintain the status quo in China as established by treaty.
