Although the attendance showed the Intense Interest that Is taken in the progress of the debate on thn Irish bill , the public excite ment has somewhat abated. Gladstone was heartily cheered when ho arose nnd said that the debate would be continued until Monday , when ho hoped to close the discus sion. Ho announced that the budget would bo introduced on Tuesday nnd the Irish Innd bill on Thursdaj' , the lattei being n necessa ry supplement to the homo rule bill. lie pro posed that the house adjoin n for n week's holiday at Kaster. Ohnmbcilaln was receivedvvlthfnlntchccis | upon ilslug to resume the debateHo said that ho lose more for the purpose of making a peisoual explanation than with the object of cutcilngnpon a detailed discussion of the speech of Gladstone- . Continuing , ho said that when hew as asked to join the govern ment ho told Gladstone that ho did not think It possible to reconcile a separate parliament at Dublin , as demanded by the Irish mem bers , with the conditions of full guarantees lei the secmltj' of the empire , and Gladstone informed him that all ho wanted then was nn Independent Inuuliy Into thu subject of the Government ot Ireland. He wrote n letter to Gladstone on January : t , In which ho explained that he could not consent to a scpnintepiillament in Dublin , nnd it was on that uiulcistamUngthat hu consented to join the cabinet. He had piesnmcd fiom what Gladstone had told him that the whole cabinet would proceed step by step , In consultation , to build a scheme of homo rule not Involving separation. It was not until March 13 that Gladstone startled the cabinet by bringiim torvvardn scheme involving the Issue of 150,000,000 in consols. At this point Gladstone , Inteiruptlng , re minded Glmmbeilaln that ho hail not re ceived permission of her majesty's govern ment to the several land nioposals.

Since he had left the cabinet , he said , an impoitant change h id been made by retaining tlio power over customs and excise duties , w hlch pioposal now appeared utteilj- Inconsistent with principle. Direct taxation atlon should further objected to any scheme that laid upon the .British taxpayer a tremendous liability , with excessive ifsk , at such a pioject could only bo looked upon as n bribe to modify the hostility of Irish land owners to homo rule. As for himself , irt'ior than face the futuio action which would bo ccitaln to prevail be tween the t'AO countiies , rather than face the distractions and Jorolgn complications which would ailsc by having a quasi-Independent govcrnieut , ho would vote for separation pure and simple.
