LONDON , Aug. 9. In the House of Com
mons today Mr. William McCartney ( con
servative ) moved the adoption of nn amend
ment to the homo rula bill providing that
the Irish members who shall bo retained In
the Imperial Parliament shall vote on no
bill , motion or nmontmcnt , except motions
that may bo amendatory to the homo rule
bill. This amendment Is the ono that A. , T.
Halfour Intended to Introduce- last Monday
when the homo rula bill came up on the report -
port stage , but which his absence from the
house at the time prevented him from doing.
During the debate on the motion of Joseph -
soph Chamberlain liu denounced the strat
egy of the government , by moans of which n
scheme was Imposed on the House giving
the Irish members who should be retained
the right to vote on all questions. The best
iiiid only nrrangnmnnt wnnlu bo the total ex
clusion of thu Irish members from West
minster.
Mr. Henry Labouchoro ( radical ) said that
if the Irish members sat In Westminster for
parliamentary purposes there would bo
two majorities in the house , which would
destroy the foundation of parliamentary gov
ernment. The house had either to accept
full retention , or full exclusion. If the bill
were n complete measure of homo rule , ho
would vote for full exclusion. It was not n
complete measure , and the House must
therefore nwult the end of the probationary
period , when full homo rule would bo Riven
for nettling the ultimata status of the Irish
In the Imperial Parliament.
Mr. I at-ouehoro's
remarks were \greotod
with cheers. The division was then taken
up , mid Air. McCartney's motion was de
feated by a vote of sat to 181.
