HOME RULE.
By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. (press association.) London, May 8. The Daily Chronicle considers that the retirement of Mr Davitt from Parliament will cast a heavy shadow over the Irish cause. In discussing the Home Rule Bill in Committee, Lord Randolph Churchill said the Unionist would not submit to be gagged, whereupon Mr Tim Healey remarked, 'Remember 1887.' Mr Joseph Chamberlain declared that the Nationalists had 'been 'squared,' and that a stop should be put to gingMr 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 a separate Parliament was determined. London, May 10. Mr W. Redmond's amendment, to call the Irish Legislature the 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. An 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.
