H-jyulty was repiesciilcd bytlio Pilnce of Wales ; nobility was present In force and wntehrd tliu proceedings with intense Inter est , ( iladstone was on hand caily , and his entrance wns the .signal Cor vociferous cheers from both liberal and Irl.sli members. When quiet was ic.stoicd , the venerable premier arose , and In 11 linn , clear voice moved tlie second reading of tiie bill. In his reniurks he stated that he did not intend , forte to present , to ask for n continuance of the debute from day to ilny. ANOT1IKU (11IKAT ( HIT.KCir. LONDON , May 10. Mr. Gladstone's voice at the outset of his speech In advocacy of his motion was Indistinct , hearse and feeble , but It cleared as he proceeded , lie Kald ho de- Hired nt the opening to makou statement of his personal position , which he had entirely refrained from making when ho Introduced the bill. Hu had never at nnv period de scribed homn-rnlu In liclaud as incompatible with Imperial unity. [ Cries of "Oh ! oh I" ) That was exactly so.

Alternative coercive and reform measures hud been tried , and tliey had equally failed to conciliate. The medicine of coercion , es pecially , had boon the medicine continually applied In increasing doses and with dimin ishing resnlta. I i'arnelllto cheers. ] I.H.SSONS I'KOJI CANADA. As regards the autonomy of Ireland bolus a menace to the unity of the empire , hu re minded the house that the same argument was employed against Canadian Independ ence. When it was determined to concede home-rule to Canada , she was In precisely the temper attributed to 11 eland to-day. Can ada did not get home-rule because she was loyal and friendly. She was now loyal and friendly because slio got home-rule. [ Irish cheers. ] Ho ( ( iladstone ) sat In parliament during the whole Canadian controversy , taking as a young man an active part in if. what was the nature of Canadian debate ? The ease of Canada was not parallel to the case of Ireland ( opposition cheers ) , not in every particular. As the bill offered to Ire land is dltl'eieiit In important details from acts which disposed of the case of Canada , but although not paiallcl their positions are analagous. What was the issue In the case ot Canada ? " ( lovernment from Downing street. " These few woids embraced the whole controversy. " ( lovernment from Downing street , " meaning , of course , "Government Irom Westminister. " [ Hear , hear. ] What was the cry of those who resisted autonomy in Canada ? It was the cry which has slept a long time , acquiring vigor from sleeping. It was the cry that the unity of the cr.ipire would bo endangered. In hls'oplnlou of the relations of Canada and Knghuul then there was very great danger to the unity of ( ho em pire , but It was a remedy for this mischief , not the mischief itself , which wns regarded as dangerous. [ Irish cheers. ] In this result the cases of Ireland and Canada are precise ly paiallel. In these days tlio people ple of Canada were habitually de nounced In this honso as rebels. [ Prolonged government and 1'arnellito cheers. ) Some < it those so called rebels were protcstants of F.nglish and Scotch birth , but the majority weie Catholics of French extraction. Was the cry against them raised because they weie Mvnch extraction Catholics ? No , sir. Wilh the English in Upper Canada it was ox- nctly the same thing. Doth rebelled. o'cox.sr.u/H WITTICISM. llo ( ( iladstone ) remembered O'Connell In the house In the debate on the Canadian question , refcriing to the French Canadian leader Paplneau , saying : This case is just the case of Ireland with this diirerencu : The Canadian niritator has " ( ) " at the end of Ids name instead of at the beginning.

There Is danger to the unity < if Iho empire In the present relations with Ireland , but the opponents of the bill have applied the eiy of danger to the remcilv In stead of to the existing mischief. Mr. ( ihul- stnnu then i el erred to tlio siirnllicant expres sions of opinion that had come across the Atlantic approving tha vital piindples of tlio bill.

The opponents of ( ho bill said that England could never enforce taxation In Ireland without representation , and that nothing but the consent of Ireland would In duce them to contemplate such action for a moment. .Many members were not even sat- istied with the consent of lioland. llesides this general constitutional oqjivtlon , there rxisted the regret that there woold cease to Jie a symbolic lepresentatlon of tlio unity of the empire through the absence of the Irlbh members. members.TI1K TI1K nSSKNTIAT. I'lHNCIl'J.i : . Now history has shown that in torclgn , or what ho prelened to call over-sea affaire , tlio Irish people do not stand In tint same 10- latlon as the people of Knrland and Scot- hind. [ Hear , hear , and cries of no. ] Is it a wonder that In n country with woes so great. and whose hopes have so olten been doomed to disappointment , the mind of the people should bs continued to thu position of their own country ? An essential pilnclplo to the Irish people has become to obtain control of their own affairs Still , the bill piovldes that the Iibli shall not bo excluded from Imperial atl'uirs. Clause 2'J provides for recall of rcpicsentatlves In both houses of Irish pan iamenc. before the parliament can proceed to the alteration of a statute upon which the two countries do not agico. An other clause provides that , on certain condi tions , thu Irish assembly may vote Rur.is ot money for purposes excluded from Its ordl- tinry coxnUancu. lie trusted that should Great Hrlt- Rlii bo Involved In a ' great war , whore Ireland would. bo exposed to common danger , thu Irish assembly would respond to n message from the crown by voting money to prosecute the war. [ Opposition laughter. ] Mo great question such ns succession to the crown ought to fall under the discussion of this secondary authority , but money ones'- tlons , such ns treaties of cotnmcice , might require direct communication between both parliaments. Ho would therefore propose on behalf of the government some plan of this kind , llo proceeded to explain that the government remained undecided ns to the conditions under which the Irish mem bers or an Irish commission should appear In the Imperial cabinet. The government did not consider this to bo the point , In his opinion If the Irish members comeback In nny numbers It would be nec essary to devlsu a now system of election. He would certainly have no jealousy of Irish members. If thu Irish should reappear In their force ho would rather have them amply rather than scantily , and jealously treated. Till' OIMCCT 01' TIIK HIM. In conclusion , ho declared that the main object of the bill was to abolish root and blanch the discontent prevailing in Ireland and to restoio social order by removal not merely of symptoms , but of causes ot that discontent. If thu opponents of the bill hud an alternative policy , what was It ? he asked. If Lord Itaiidholp Churc hill should undertake the ta lc of settling inland what did he mean to do was Ids plan that proposed by the loyalists In Heltast last November. The ICngllsh gov ernment might bo daring , but not so daring ns to undertake to reconstruct the Irish gov ernment without touching the legislative ( Iltllculty. If Lord llartlngton has a plan let him disclose It. He appealed to Lord Hart- Inuton to state Ills solution of the Irish prob lem. Thcv had reached a crisis In the his tory of the nation. The path of boldness was the only path ot safety. [ Cheers. ] All men ought to know their own minds , and on-lit to lull It. THU I'ATE OP Illlll.ANl ) . The fate of Ireland could not bo passed Into the lottery of politics. [ I'arncllite cheers. ] He had been told that , he was steering Ire land to ceilain ruin. Let his opponent * show n way to rescue It , Let Lord Hartlngton , In moving the rejection of this bill , trace the visible or palpable road through daikness. "Members of the housnof 'commons have before them a great opportunity to a close strife of seven hundred years ago , and of knitting by hands tinner and higher in diameter than heretofore , the hearts and niTc tloim ol the Irish people and of cement ing the noble fabric of the British nation. " [ Loud and continued cheering. ] II.UITINOTOM'S I.ITTI.i : HAV. Mr. Gladstone was followed by Lord II art- ington , who , on rising was greeted with cheers. He feaied that the piemicr hail settled the matter without mature considera tion. Wlthretcrancoto submitting nlturnato measures , lie failed to remember a single In stance in which Gladstone had taken the course ho now asked the dlssentists to take who were unprepared to suggest In what direction a measure for tlio house could bo Immediately revised. He believed that tbc concession made to-night would not meet the demands of Mr. Chamberlain. * In conclusion , lie moved that the bill be read six months hence.

The passenger rate war opened up this morning. Tlio city ticket ofllccs of the Milwaukee , Omaha and and Minnesota and North western began sell ing second-class tickets to Chicago for S8.50 and from Minneapolis to St. Louis the same. A scalper told a reporter ho would sell for 53 rather than lose a uassenirer. There Is very little if any cutting on first-class tickets. The short lines say they can atl'ord to ignore the others on first-class tickets. A cut of a dollar has but little influence with first-class travel. Cutlers on Strike. .i'HiA , May 0.

WASIIINOTO.V , May 10 , The commissioner of the general land ofllcc , in his response to the senate resolution calling for the mimbcr of special agents employed In his olllconiid their d'.itles , sayH. that If the increased force recommended In his annual report bo grant ed , entries suspended by his order of April If , ISA ) , ran ail be Investigated and disposed of In about a year and a half. A largo per centage of these entries ho thinks are fraud ulent. The propoithm of now eases that will require such investigation will be much less than In those previous to April ii , 1&S5. Since the order of suspension had the effect to ma terially check the making or completion of fraudulent entrio.s , It was the ease with which frauds could be perpetrated under ex isting laws , and tliu immunity offered by the hasty issuance of patents , ho says , that en couraged tlio making of fictitious and fraudulent entries. The certainty of thorough Investigation would restrain such practices , but great fraud must Inevitably ex ist so long as an opportunity of fraud la preserved - served in tliu laws and so long as it Is hoped by inocnrers and promoters of Iraud that ex aminations may bu impeded or suppressed. The commissioner renews his recommenda tion that ( lie pre-emption of commuted home stead , timber culture , timber land and desert land laws be repealed , and says , questions , broadly stated , are whether hinds shall bu protected , and an honest acquisition of title thereto Insisted upon , or dishonest appropri ation allowed. These ouestlons cannot long remain in abeyance. With the present heed less rush ot speculation und monopoly tlio public domain will be absorbed In a period of time so brief that even preventatlvo meas ures agaisnt fraud and misappropriation may soon be too late to save any considerable portion tion of the public lands 1'or the homos of the people , Tliu commissioner closes his communica tion with a statement that his general In formation leads him to the conclusion that no large amount of nubile laud remains In the western states and tcrritoilcstjcast of the cattle belt , which an actual settler ran take up without lirst buying off speculative claims or avoiding some invalid entry by contest proceedings , while within the cattle region it is notorious that actual settlements are ecu- cially prevented and made nmctlcally'Iin- possible , outside of proximity to towns , through the unlawful control of tlio country maintained by cattle corporations. The demand for free lands for the homes of American citizens , which Is daily Increas ing in Intensity , can no longer bo met , un less nupatonie-d lands now unlawfully held or claimed can borsflQvered to the public do main and future Illegal -anil fraudulent ap propriations decisively stoppCrf , * " A Democratic Siiuoil , " - WASHINGTON , May 10.

Many of the old hands ave at work again , and many more are seeking for admission. There was perceptible on all hands a general feeling that the beginning of the end of the present labor troubles was at hand. A visit to the various freight yards this morning showed much activity among the freight warehouses of tlio roads. A strikers' committee visited the Chicago , Milwaukee. & St , Paul road and had a conference with Su perintendent Krllng , who informed them that he would not treat with them as a com mittee , but if the striking workmen came to him as Individuals ho would transact business with them. He assures them that the company had determined not to reinstate strikers as a body under any circumstances , but that If any Injustice had been done any men he would see to It that It was remedied. He was sure , however , that no such Injustice had been done them. The committee with drew , and Immediately after several Individ ual applications for employment were made by the strikers. Many of them were re-em ployed , Iput with the understanding that they come In as men and not as members of any organization. The Chicago & Northwestern road had a sulllclcnt number of new men enmloycd to handle their business and gave the committee no encouragement , and refused to make room for strikers by discharging the new men. The company , however , reinstated several of the strikers this morning , and many applications have been received from Individual freight handlers .isklng for em ployment. The old men on the Hock Island road when they asked to bo taken back and put to work this morning were told that the road had been handling as much freight as was brought it and inoro * in jiro- poitlon than any other road in Chi cago. The company would not discharge men who had worked during the strike , but as many others as were required were se lected from the ranks of the late strikers and put to work , and everything was going on there to-day as if such a thing as a stiike had n ever been heard or. HHTTF.Il rilOSI'ECTS AIICAn. Four of the lumber districts showed signs of reviving Industry. There was a business air throughout the districts though resump tion of work was by no means general. There was no disorder. There was no law lessness. Many smokestacks were sending fortli volumes of black vaper that formed itself Into small clouds. The hi.su of steam and the hum of machinery was heard hero and there. Many wageworhers were seen "StflHi'their " lunch pails hurrying to their old posts to begin the week with the happy pros pect of a week's pay ahead and the memory of an anxious family behind , lint all the signs visible on the surface were not so promisini : of revival. At several , factories groups of workmen stood about with Idleness and uncertainty plainly written on their fanes. Their grievances weio not yet settled , their money almost exhausted and the posi tion of their families at homo was ono of sore anxiety. It was the beginning of a new week. What will the bosses do ? they asked among themselves. A large number of sash , door and bllnjl factories resumed operations this morninir. Several forges and Iron works set their fur naces'golnsr , and some minor shops started up afresh , but the planing mills arn yet mo tionless , and the lumber yards are idle. Measures are making , however , that may soon end in general resumption in all depart ments. All the sash , door and blind factories re sumed on the basis of nine hours pay for olKht houre work. 1'lanlngmills did not re sume and will hardly do so until the lumber vards are again In a state of activity. The lumber yards and their 10,000 or more sliovers , stevndors and all sorts of unskilled laborers were still Idle this morning. Lum bermen say they are ready to resume opera tions as soon as their men como back In fiufll- cient numbers to warrant them In starting up , but that only the old schedule of hours and waaes will bo accepted. If the men do not choose to come back on these terms , the works will be left Idle indefinitely , they say. even though the entire lumber trade of the city is broken up. They declare that since thu situation has been forced upon them , they will not bo shaken In the stand they have taken to control their own business and bo dictated to by nobody. GAINS AND IjOSSES.

The situation , however , as effect ing freight handlers , Is still unsettled and ( tovelopcs unexpected phazes. The Ualtl- inoro & Ohio set men to work this morning , conceding them an eight-hour working day with nine hours' pay. The freight handlers of this road had not been acting In concert with other freight handlers , and gained their victory by independent negotiation with the company. It Is not known what effect this concession will have upon the other roads. A committee of striking freight handlers of the Chicago & Northwestern road called upon the olllchils this morning and expressed a desire to return to work on the old basis. The com pany lopllcd that the men had been given lull notice to icturn to work but failed to dose so , As a consequence the company had its business seriously Interfered with and had been put to the trouble and expense of pro curing new men. These men filled the entire working quota of thu company , and it had no places to offer the men who had gone out on tliu strike. The ultimatum Issued Saturday by the inantilacturcis of metal goods. In which they distinctly say they cannot grant the night-hour day , made the situation In this line of manufacture of Interest this morning. The chief point wasCiane liros.
