THE HOME RULE BILL.
DISCUSSION IN COMMITTEE.
OPPOSITION PROTEST AGAINST THE CLOSURE. ' Press Association.— Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. ~; London, May 9. Discussing the Home Rule Bill in Committee, Lord Randolph Churchill said the Unionists would not submit to be gagged, whereupon Mr. Tim Healy retorted, " Remember 1887." Mr. Joseph Chamberlain declared that the Nationalists had been squared, and that a stop should be put to gagging. Mr. Gladstone, replying to the latter, declined to state the conditions under which the Irish members should be retained at Westminster until the main question of separate Parliaments had been determined. London, May 10. Mr. W. Redmond's amendment to call the Irish Legislature an Irish Parliament was rejected by a large majority. Sir H. James has accepted the Premier's challenge, and will move a new clause declaring the supremacy of the Imperial Parliament in case of dispute between the Irish Paliament and the Viceroy. The amendment proposing that the Irish Legislature shall be subordinate to the Imperial Parliament was rejected by 35, Mr. Gladstone objecting to it as putting a bar sinister upon the Irish Parliament.
