BRITISH PARLIAMENT
London, March 13. -Lord Salisbury, m pointing out that the Queen's Speech omitted any reference to the Home Rule Bill, contended that the sooner the judgment of the people was obtained upon it the better. The Premier said they would be able to judge him by his personal action, and not by mere words. No Liberal would more steadily support Home Rule than himself. It was of no use to at present introduce the Bill simply to provide sport for the House of Lords. He denied that the Peers had any right to force a dissolution upon the Commons. Lord Lavington thought it would be dangerous to assume that the Irish would I remain peaceful if Home Rule were shelved. The Bill for the Disestablishment of the Welsh Church will be introduced on Thursday. Mr Justin M'Carthy has been re-elected Chairman of the Irish party. The Government proposes to use the Irish Church surplus to reinstate evicted tenants. Mar. 16. — Mr Gladstone will not seek reelection for Midlothian constituency at the next election. The Times says that Sir W. V. Harcourt has assured the Irish members that an appeal will be made to the country on the Home Rule question, probably m July, after the Registration Bill and Budget proposals have been passed.
