The Daily Chronicle considers that the retirement of Mr Daviit from Parliament will cast a heavy shadow over the Irish cause. In discussing the Home Rule Bill in Committee, Lord Randolph Churchill said that the Unionists 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 gagging. Mr Gladstone in 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.
(Received 0.55 a.m., May 11th.) May 10,
Mr W. Eedmond’a amendment to call the Irish legislature tho Irish Parliament, was rejected by a large majority. Sir H James has accepted the Premier’s challenge, and will move a new clause declaring tho supremacy of the Imperial Parliament in cases of dispute.
An amendment proposing that the Irish legislature shall be subordinate to the Imperial Parliament was rejected by 85, Mr Gladstone objecting to it as putting a bar sinister upon an Irish Pa*« liament.
