There was considerable excitement among the conservative members who were present at the opening of today's session of the House of Commons. The re port stage on the homo rule bill was reached at'nn earlier hour than expected and Mr. Balfour , the conservative leader , who had an important amendment to otter to the bill , was not present to submit the amendment. Mr. cBalfour's proposed amendment Is in tended to prevent the Irish members who shall bo retained In the Imperial Parliament from voting on any questions except motions that arc offered to amend the homo rule bill after the bill shall have become a law. The conservatives were exceedingly desirous of having the amendment submitted. Mr. George Hartley , who represents the north ern division of Islington in the conservative ntorest , requested to bo permitted to act as lis substitute in otTonng the amendment. Speaker Peel ruled th.it at this stage SUD- stitutcs could not ho allowed. A number of conservatives , who had expected that there would bo a prolonged debate on Mr. Hal- four's proposed clause , had taken advantage of their expectations to absent themselves , Intending to be present when notified that u vote was about to bo taken upon Mr. Hal- four Vs proposal. By their absence they also lost their chance of moving amendments to the bill.

Thu unionists stood aghast as they saw the report sweeping through with lightning speed. Their fright was allayed , however , when Mr. .Inmos Parker Smith ( liberal unionist ) , nu'inbor of the Patrick division of Lanarkshire , after having eight now clauses proposed by him ruled out , obtained the speaker's sanction to move that the bound ary commission under the bill bo instructed to inquire as to the bolter division of the Irish electoral districts. The debate on this motion was taken up and this u'avo the opposition tuna to breathe. The conservative and liberal unionist whips wcro at once dispatched In search of the absentees to summon them to tmmcdiato at tendance in the house , Messrs. Balfour and Heneago and other members of tljo opposition appeared In the house in time to take part in the debate on Air , Smith's motion. Eventually the motion was defeated by a vote of I'.lt ) to 152 , , Mr , James Parker Smith moved two further clauses , Urallng with elections in Ireland.

Finally n resolution was carried to admit delegates only from societies recosnlzlng the necessity of the organization o' labor concurrently with political action. The adoption of this resolution , which was tantamount to the exclusion of the anarchists , led to a great uproar. The avowed anarchist delegates positively refused to withdraw ; several of them had to be ejected by force. In the midst of excitement Herr Lumtauor ) ( v Ber lin anarchist , used a stick and precipitated n hand-to-hund tight , in which ho was nt length overpowered by bystanders.

Hut thu par ticular requirement at Asbury Park is that the logs of thu trousurs shall bo long at least to the knee , and fur thered by stockings inthucnoof women bathers , It is enough for Mr. Uradlov to know that in Frtincu the women havu discarded stockings.

That is Iho main point at Ocean Grove. Thu trousers legs are a minor consideration , but Iho sleeves must bo long.

I cannot find them anywhuro on the hot- torn , so I mtiftt bttiy hero till dark. " "That is too bad , " hnid the bathing muster. "If you had merely lost your shirt , you could swim up to Asbury p'nrk , where they don't care about whether you havu a shirt or not , and go ashore and borrow a shirt , but the rules hero at thu Grove are so strict that you will bo arrested if you show yourself. " "Hut 1 will drown , ' said the young "Oh , for God's sake , don't do that , " Bald thu bathing master. "Your body would come ashore and make an awful scandal. Kldor Stokes would have you put in a felon's grnvo. " "Oh , what shall I do ? What shall I do ? " the young man wailed. "I'll toll you'said the bathing mas ter.
