' Taking advantage or this order , Sir Henry today moved the adjournment In order to cal attention to the Import duties on colon : recently decided upon by the government or India. I Is claimed by many or the monu- facturers or Manchester and other colon centers In Lancashire thaI the Imposition Impslion or these duties has had a most serious effect dutes Gn their business anti they 11eslrell the 1m- penal government to intervene for their abolition. 'Ihe colon interest Is strongly representell In thc house , and when the no- tce or the melon was given II wat con- lectured by not only many conservative pa- pers , but by some or the staunch liberal , that the , whIchas organs government was bound to oppose the desired change , would be I overthrown by the Lancashire parly In com- ' binaton with the conservatives anti lIberals Interested In thC colon trade The Parel- Ites too , were expected to cast their votes against the governmenl but the result did nol bear cut the hopes or fears or the 1)011- tcal parties , for , by a majority of 195. the ? ' Rosebery ministry triumphantly repelled the attacks or its assailants. GOSClEN SAVED TIE MINISTRV This result was In a measure due to the ' attitude ot Mr. Goschen , who , though a llb- eral-unionist , deal with the question In a spirit ot great fairness toward the govern- ment. He suggested the holdIng of a confer- once In order to remlly the deficIt In IndIa for whIch purpose the cotton Import duty and the excise duty on cotton were laid. When the division came to be taken on the . , . motion It was round that a large number or ' conservatIves and liberal-unionists. and also several members representing Lancashire distrIcts - trIcts , went Into the oVernlnent camp In a body. Among those who voted against the government was the Itt. Hon. Joscph Chom- berlaln , who I Is said was responsible for the pushing or the motion. Daron do Roths- I child and several other Iberal-unlonlsls abstained - " ) stained from voting. After the preliminary business ot the day \ ' had been cleared away the discussion began upon the motion at SIr Henry James for an adjournment ot lhQ house In order to cal attention to the Indian Import duties on cot- ; y top. It , was 1:12 : o'clock when Sir Henry ob- tamed leave to submit his matton The house was then crowded , and great excItement pre- valled In the lobbies. On beginning his remarks - marks Sir Henry called attention to the re- cent Imposition at cotton duties In India. Sir Donald 1locFarlane , liberal , asked whether the motion was one eonLmplateJ by the standing orders , the sunJect being or no more Importance than a week ago. The spcalter ruled thaI the motoh was wIthin the spirit of the standing orders , Inasmuch as It referred to the Imposition ot duties In India , which , II was alleged , called for an Instant rcmelly. The decision at the speaker was . greeted with loud conservative cheers. In his speech Sir Henry said India was the greatest market Lancashire has for her cot- . ton and textile goods. The prosperity or Lancashire depended upon thaI or Intla , The cotton Industry In India was flourishing and ball largely supplanted the tde . of Lan- cshlro wih China ar Japan.

Sir Henry James had charged him with sac- rlfellJ the Interests or England , but ho hall failed to give the slightest proor In support of thaI accusation. Diles hall Irevlolslr existed In India from the tIme thiit country was handed over to the crown until they were Jbolshed , because they were cons III- ned protective. 'rho house or COl man ! hall by a resolution In 187 declared In favor or their repeal as son as the financial condi- ton or the country would alow , The dutls were repealed In 1882. Last year , however , the Illlan government was confronted wit ii a deficit of 3,000,000 tens or rupees and pro- IJosed to meet It by the imposition ot hn- Port duties on cotton . 'fhe homo government lt fIrst refused to consent to the suggestion , and the result was that the ramlno alJ- k vroprlaton rUlll and the provincial grants were suspended , and there was ultimately ti a deficit In the budget of l300.000. DUTIES WERE NOT PIIOTECT1VE . Mr Fowler then Iuotcll a statement made In time house of Lords by Lord Cross , whIle lie was Indian feeretory In the last adminis- traton or I.erd Salisbury , that the rolmlJOsl- ton or 110 ( duties was no party questIon , but i must bo decided by the government of the day and with regard to the state or Indian finances. That was the last statement made on the subject by one or Ito ( opposition leaders (1lberl ( cheers. ) The proposed Ilu- ties were to be levied on the higher class or tes goods , In which there Is Ilractcaly no COl- petItIon , In regard IQ time queston or free import all protective duties , they Ire not the sale thing.
