Every foot of space on tho floor aud in thc gal

packed yesterday long before Mr. Gladstone ap?
peared to introduce his bill for tho future govern?
ment of Ireland and to explain his policy. The
streets, too, about the* Parliament buildings were
tillod willi an iiiiniciiso crowd of people, wbo
greeted the Premier, when ou his way to the
Houso.with deafening cheers. In the House members
had begun to seeuro their Keats at sunrise,
the Pamelina being the first on the ground
and securing tho lx-st places. Some
of thc member* were forced to find places in the
galleries, the Ch.iniber not being large oaenitrli to

Mr. Gladstone entered tl#. House about 4:30

cheering. When iiiii.-t was Motored In- moved
for permission to lntr.i.lni i- nis Lill for the future

the constabulary and tho civil service.
The pt aiport ion ol' the Iniiierial burdens which he pro
Ini*.-* that Ireland shall hear is fixed 88000 to fmir

closed ins ipeoch with a Inlitiin to Irish patnotisni
and an appeal to tho patimiisiu and sagacity ot tho

than the adoption of tho proposed moanna.
Mr. Parnell was tho next speaker. Af?
ter some sarcastic references to Mr.
Trevelyan's speech, ho spoko briefly in favor of
Ifr. Gladstone's propoeitioo aa being a solution of
the long-standing dispute between England and
Ireland. I h.-bill, however, in his opinion is not
wit boat blemishes, and these, ho said, tho I ri *? h
un miers would do all they could to remove.
He spoko of tho financial propositions
as being unfair to Ireland, especially
"tho Irish tribute to tho Imperial
Exchequer." He also oopoeed the proposition rela

Mr. Plnnket, Conservative member for Dublin

Ihe nish for seats to listen to the debate
was so great that for the Speaker's Gallery and the
Strangers' Callory and the Ladles' Gal?
lery, containing Iii scats, tlie places
wero drawn by lot; nearly GOD mem?
bers attending tho drawing. One of the un?
usual incidents of the day was tho serving
of brc.'ikf.ist in th) House dining-room.
Tho eighty-six Irish members present at times
greeted every new arrival with cheers
and laughter. By BOOB every place was
tahoe theie being about thirty chairs
placed on the floor. Among those who attended
in tin- l't-.r,' Gallery were the Prince ot Wales, his
son, Albert Victor, tlio Duko of Cam?

men present wre Earl Spencer, ex-Lord
Lion tenant al Ireland, and Lord Ashbourne,
ex-Lmd L'haucellor of Ireland. lu the Diplomatic
Gallery every Ambassador and Minister at

tho American Minister, was pressed
mto a cornel next to Prince Christian. In the

and in tins Ladies' Qaliery the widow of John

he might break down. He frequently took sips
from a bottle of medicine and soon his tones un?

After Mr. Plunket's criticism from the

MORNING SCENES IN TUE HOUSE.
FARNKLLITE9 A I* ill VT. WlTn THK SUN AND SECURE
THK BE.ST SEAIS?STREET DEMONSTRATIONS.
London, April H.?Officials of tho House of
Chid mom whose memories mu hack half a century or
more recall no such extraordinary scenes ss were wit?
nessed in aud out of tbe Parliament Buildings today.
Before the night watchmen In the House were relieved
or tho lights were extinguished, a number of members of
Parliament, gentlemen possessed of sn ssiured admit?
tance, began to arrive, to make themselves doubly cer?
tain of their privileges by getting to their icats s number
of hours before Mr. Gladstone would reach the Home,
and retaining than, during the long interval. Mr. Mc?
Donnell Sullivan, Nationalist, member for South West?
meath, waa the first man to gain an entrance to the
House. He got lu as carly as 5 HO o'clock in the
morning, a few minutes after sunrise, and at once
proceeded to make sure of hi* place. It ls alleged,
however, that Mr. Sullivan secured hi* advantage
by bribing a friendly policeman to permit him to have
acceis by way of the back stairs. The South West?
meath member was not long the solo occupant of
tho chamber. Ho w.is almost immediately followed
by a seora of P.irneilite colleagues. Tho rule re?
garding ibo leat* was practically "first come first
served." Mr. Sullivan, therefore, had bil pick of the
whole lloor. Dc cholo the very best, tho teat next to
and immediately below the gan. way. or al?lo, on the
Opposition or loft lido of the Speaker's desk. As the
HhMetartal bench t* situated Ju?l opponto, on tho right
of the Speaker, and tho Primo Minister hal usually oc?
cupied thc seat Just below tho gangway on that side,
Mr. BaU.ni secured vie-tt-rit to the orator.
THE PARBBLUTRS IBCTJB1 TUE BEST PLACE*.
It waa not long before all tho Parnellltes were In tbe
Bo ne, and they pre-empted the best places lu tho local?
ity Invaded by Mr. Sullivan, and all got places to front
Mr. Gladstone dining ins speech. Mr. Thoiua9 PlWN
O'Connor. Nationalist, momber fur the Scotland Division
of Liverpool, explained the hinte exhibited by his parti?
te secure scats hy saying that the Tunes had organized
a plot to take pussen.ion of santa li. Buen a
way as to make lt iBspoaslbla for the l'urnellitea to sit
together, in order to rob Mr. Gladstone of thi chorus of
cheers which ihe foll-lhioite I Irish member* would bo
sure to give him if they were In a body and tho orator
wero to their likinif. Kr. O'Connor Said that when his
co,leagues discovered tills conspiracy I ney at euee took
slop* to circumvent it by reaching tlie iceuo In time to
get the choice of pince*. Mr. O'Connor laid ho wis lai
lolod with tho result, and added tiiat tho Irish chorus
would bo not only fuK-throatod, but unanimous.
The inrush of the British member* followed cloie
upon tho advent of tho I'limc-llite*. It wa* yet early In
tho morning when nearly all the seats on the floor were
taken. In order to retain the scat .hUMf lt wa* nccos
for a member tr, occupy lt, or place upon it tho hal he
BlOOtOd for tbo day, and no dummy hat.could be
mod for this purpose. The present generation never
wi*. Beaaad MOO a "hatting" scene as occurred In the
Hoiiio of Commons thi* morning long before Loudon
wai awake. No less than 450 of the (ITO members
bad entered and secured their seats, by "hal?
ting" or personal occupation, before I'i o'clock. The
wives, daughters, and female relations and friends of
those member* thronged the waiting room* all tbe morn,
lng, provided with lunch baskets and novels ou which to
Mb-UI and pass tho time during which tho men were un
eiitertaiuing.
WHILING AWAY THE KARLY BOBBI OF THE PAY'.
A number of members wore afraid to trust to tho honor
of their colleague! for maintenance of tho ml -s on an
occasion like that of to-day, and those retained posses?
sion of their chosen neats by remaining iu thom bodily
all tho day. Dining the session or Parliament the
chamber of th* House of Common* ls swept, cleaned and
dusted every morning. To-day lt was also thoroughly
scrubbed. Ulsiigreeablo as all this was the gentlemen
who were afraid to trait tholr colleague! remained in
their seats while the dii?':.?:n ard scrubber* rilled the
air with dint and then with dampness. When they be?
came hungry and thinly food and drink was brought in
I to them. Members who had ihortcnod their hours of
sleep, or lost thom altogether. In their effort! to secure
early admission aud a choice of seats, fixed themselves
a* comfortably as possible lu their seats and went to
ileep. Most of the carly arrival!, however, retreated
'? ton the dust-brooms and wash-tub! and strolled
about the lobbies or sought the dttiilifr-roora. Theolliolal
caterer began to nerve breakfast at B:S0 a. m., aud he
was well patronize, in the early hours of the morning.
When the sun roso aud the day .rc w warmer, tho
river terrace was sought hy the majority of tbe early
arrivals, and here many expedient! wero resorted to to
while away the time. The Parnellltes were In a partic?
ularly hippy frame of mind, acting as If, to ute au ex?
pression of one of them, "they had a lure thing on a
day for Ireland." A uuinber of thom borrowed a tri?
cycle and had great sport railing up a id down the terrace
with it BBtll lt finally enllapied, throwing P. J. O'lJrien,
I'arnellite me uber tar Tipperary, who WM riding lt at
the time, upon lils head on the fl igging. He was picked
up bleeding profusely and very badly stunned. Hil fore
bead was deeply cut over the eye ami hi* face and hands
were much torn and bruised. He wai, In fact, io ser?
iously ln|iired that he had to be removed to a hospital,
bul he lmlited on going bareheaded, and after his
wounds were dressed he returned to occupy hts leat.
After exhausting expedient* for kiding timi outside
tbe House the members began to assemble lu the cham?
ber mon after 1 o'clock. Within au hour tbe Hoer wa*
w*!l covered wltn group.* of member! dlicuntug with
animation tho possible outcome of the day. From that
rime until 4 o'clock, when the Speaker took tho chair,
thc crowds on tbo floor and In the galleries grew larger
and larger, until every seat wa* occupied.
Soon after 3 o'clock the Puruelltte member!
began to take polses*iou of their seats. They
arranged themselves In serried rank* on thu
Opposition boudie* In front of the place where
Mr. (.inislone was to ipeak. The Hight Hon.
Arthur Wellesley 1'.ol. the sp. ak.-r of tbe Home, took
the chair promptly at 4 o'clock. Tbe chain1,or at the
lime Waa packed to tho extreme limit of tts capacity,
and every doorway showed hallways crammed with
people, all craning to *?o anil hear.
WILD mOOO-Jta KUR SKA IS IB THK GALLERIES.
Before the .speaker entered, the floor af the Home, the
lobbies, tho stairway! ami gallerloi were all In poiicsslon
of a mob of people itrug.llng for illaro* to hear and see
the orator of the d?y. There wcro hfty times as many
person* engaged In this struggle aa could possibly bo *iv
. an,tt,ml nod. and lu the surge bishops, peen
and plenipotentiaries ran foul of common?
ers of every sort. In one group wuro
seen at ono time the Greek Aruhaiaador, United
States Minister Phelp!, Cardinal Manning, the Japan?
ese Ambassador, Michael Davitt and Mr. Buruaiid,
EdltOt of /"mirri. These six were Jammed lu a struggle
about the door of the Speaker's gallery. They wore
rescued, and after beinx marched and countermarched
about tho lobby, Into an outer lobbv and back again,
were tinnily enabled to get, by way of anoiher.door,
lo tho place* Bonana for thom. Several score of noble?
men aliened their privileges too boisterously,
and had te be checked by the policemen on duty.
The ta.. form of Earl Spencer, ci li sh
Viceroy, towering above tho police, snd the diminutive
llgure of tho Marquis of I'.ipon nettling cloie to him at
If for protection, were cou*picuoiii lu tbe lobby rushes.
Mien wa* tho pressure for accommodation tbat the au?
thorities lateraled and winked at tbe revolutionary in?
novation of placing two double rowi of chain on the
floor space in flout of tho Speaker's drik, completely
trail-forming tbo familiar aspect of that hitherto mered
tromping ground of orator*. Every * | i iro foot
of apace In tbe galleries held a human bains.
The I'rlnoj of Walei, his son Prince Albert Victor, tbo
Duke of Cambridge, Prince Christian and Minister
Phelps occupied teats during the speech In the front
row of the Peers' gallery. Mr. Pholpa ilttiug beti.lo
Prince Christian.
A large number af member! of tho House of Commons
who were unable, because the chamber I* not Urge
enough tn accommodate tho whole membership, to ob?
tain placet nn the Moor helped tn lam the gallerl**.
The ladles' gallery ls screened fi om a too open view
from the malu floor by delicate fretwork In wood,
hut the sparkle of diamonds and the tla?h of colon
through lins lattice showed that this favorite eyrie bore
uml'.- beauty to-day thau ever before in il* history. The
rule which practically exclude* ladies (rom public sight

that of to-day Inexorably separates the husband aud

characteristic of the man's appearance, his age and bil

gradually gave way to a flmlbleuess ID movement, an
