Bo Speakk to Packed Boose and Ex plains te Bill Two Houses of the Leg islature, a Viceroy, and a Privy Council Imperial Supremacy the First Thins; In the Preamble Irish Members In the British Parliament The Land Question Reserved for Three Years Other Polnta of the Bill Sexton Expresses Satisfac tion. London, Feb. 14. Gladstone introduced bis home rale bill in the commons yester day. When he arose the house was packed, and of coarse he was londly cheered. He began by taunting the Tories that they bad failed both In legislation and coercion and laid down the principle that there was but this alternative in Ireland autonomy or coercion. His preliminary speech was lone and devoted to defense of his own position and argument against that of the Conser vatives, finally he got down to the sali ent points tof the bill. The principles he had advocated in 1S?C were imperial unity, equality of all the kingdoms, equitable repartition of imperial changes, protection of minorit ies. As to Imperial Tnity. In the first plact, he said, the provision for imperial supremacy was there. He had thought it best to put it in the preamble where it was in the words "Whereas, it is expedient, without Impairing or restrict ing the supreme authority of parliament," and then the preamble goes on to declare the creation of the Irish legislature. Glad stone here said: '"With reference to the charce, frequently with good faith, made against us that we are destroying the act of anion, I wish to challenge inquiry upon this fundamental point. What is the essence of the act of union? Hear, hear! That essence is to be appreciated by com paring the constitution of things found in the country before 1800 with the constitu tion of things now subsisting in England. Before 1800 we had two sovereignties in the country. One of those was collective ly lodged in the king, the houses of lords and commons of England, and the other lodged in the king and the houses of lords and commons of Ireland.' Limitations on the Lrislatnre. "Then the bill constitutes the Irish legis lature. - Power is granted to the Irish legis lature, which consists, first of all, of a legislative council; secondly ol a legislative assembly empowered to make laws for the peace, order, and good government of Ire land in respect to matters exclusively re lating to Ireland in wJ'la Hlilwif. That power is subject to a double limitation. First of ail it is subject to necessary and obvious limitations imposing certain inca pacities on the Irish parliament, including all that relates to the crown, a regency, or the viceroyalty. The subjects of peace and war, public defense, treaties and foreign relations, dignities, titles, law and treason do not belong to the Irish legislature. The law of alienage does not lelong to it, nor everything that belongs to external trade the coinHge and other subsidiary subjects. Other incapacities are imposed similar to these contained in the bill of 18WJ. These provided for the security of religious free dom, the safeguard of education, and for the security of personal freedom, in which we endeavored to borrow one of the modern ameudments to the American constitu tion. ' A Decidedly Important Clause. "Then coming to exclusive powers we re tain the vice royalty of Ireland, but we di vest it of the party character heretofore borne, by making the appointment run six years, subject to the revoking power of the crown. 1 hen also the post is freed from all religious disability. Cheers. Then comes a clause which may le considered formal, although it is of great importance, providing for the full devolution of execu tive power from the sovereign upon the viceroy. Then comes an important provis ion for the appointment of an executive committee of the privy council of Ireland. We propose to make this an executive council for the ordinary affairs of the cabi net of the viceroy. CONSTITUTION OF THE PARLIAMENT Two Brancliex, ne of 103 Members, the Other of Forty-eight. "It has appeared to us to be highly incon venient to alter t he numbers of the legisla tive assembly. If we were to increase the number we do not know what the increase ought to be. If we were to reduce it we run serious risks of causing practical incon veniences in Dublin, especially at the time when the functions of internal government come to be newly exercised, and when probably there will be a great deal to do. We therefore leave the number at 103 and we fix the term at five years. We leave the constituency aa it is now." Next as to the legislative council, Glad stone said: "We look to the legislative council as enabling us to meet the expecta tion that we shall- give to the minority some means of freer and fuller considera tion of its vievss. Why It! Was Made Elective. "The next tbfeig is, shall the legislative council be uoluinated or elected? MTe came to the conclusion that a nominated council would be a weak council. Admin istration cheers. If it should be made weak the council would probably enjoy a very short term of existence. We, there fore, propose an elective council, believing it to be the only form wherein we can give any great force to the vitality of the insti tution. We propose to fix the number at forty-eight wih an eight-year term of office, the term (if the popular assembly be ing lesser." The council constituency was composed of persons with a ratable value of JQ, but no voter could vote in more than one place. There was no provision making the council alterable by Irish act, but Irish act could alter the assembly in respect to electors and constituencies after six years. Deadlocks and Appeals. In cases of deadlocks that is, where the assembly passes a bill and the council re jects it, the assembly again passing it after an interval of two years, a Joint session must be held and a majority of that session to the validity of laws lie to the privy coun cil of the viceroy, under the initiative of the viceroy or secretary of state, and in composing this privy council, or judicial committee, due regard must be paid to the different elements of nationality. In Case of a Clashing Law. Then there s a clause the effect of which Is that if the irish legislature should pass any act in an. way contrary to acts of the imperial parliament, such law shall ba rood except in so far as it is contrary to th Imperial enactment Gladstone then said "We are now coming to the importan question of the constabulary. We propo a gradual reduction and the ultimate dis solution or disappearance of that fori with the discharge of every obligatiof towards them'in such a way as will no adversely affect the interests of thai honorable force.'' During the period o transition they are to be under the contro' of the viceroy. It is contemplated that thej will be replaced by a force owing existence to the Irish authorities in local areas. Irish Representation In Parliament. Gladstone then took np the question o. Irish representation in the imperial parlia I p)e of tn incut, ne am not consider It. a linn nrinr-l. e mil, ont a matter which enl oeepiy into the composition thereof. Ire land should have a voice in imperial mat ters. but having a parliament of her own to look to purely Irish affairs could not b permitted to interfere in purely British af fairs. The difficulty was to differentiatf the two matters what were purely British and what purely imperial? and he did not think that question could be answered with perfect correctness. The question in volved both the number of Irish members and their power in parliament, and the first question was how many Irish mem bers shall there be? Eighty Members from Ireland. The population of Great Britain had in creased, while that of Ireland had dimin ished, and had now reached a point that, whereas formerly entitled to 103 members, it would, according to this same ratio, now have eighty. There ought to be a general determination to interpret full representa tion as meaning representation according to existing population. Speaking of full representation then, he implied that the representation in the honse from Ireland would be composed of eighty gentlemen. Of course.it followed that there would have to be an election. LIMITATIONS ON THE IRISH VOTE. Four Cases in Which Irish Members Are Excluded in Parliament. He discussed the question of British and imperial interests what they were with out arriving at any decisive conclusion, but said limitations in ' the Irish voting power in the imperial parliament had been confined to the following exclusions: First, from voting on a bill or motion expressly confined to Great Britain; second, from Toting on a tax not levied upon Ireland; third, from voting, em a vela on atiproprja liwa at uuwita ' mWt U mj"ThUu for thV im perial service; fourth, from voting on any motion or resolution exclusively affecting Great Britain. To the above a paragraph was affixed as follows: "Excepting and un til parliament shall determine the coming financial legislation." Ireland's Share of Expenses. Olntlstone continued: "The principle to which we are bound to give effect in Ire land is: Ireland has to bear a fair share of imperial expenditure "Hear! hear!". The word imperial is defined in the schedule which gives the list of imperial burdens. There are three methods in which this fair share may lie apportioned. The first method is the lump sum payment adopted in 1H6. Another method is what may sim ply be described as the method of a quota that is to say that Ireland shall pay 6 per cent., or 5 per cent., or 4 per cent, or what you please of the imperial expenditure which shall be taken out of the common fund. But there is a third method, which one we adopt, that of deducting from the Irish revenues the amount due England." The Amount of the Payment. As to the amount of the payment Glad stone said it had lieen fixed at 2,430,000 yearly, and added: "The Irish members will observe that everything of a practical nature we hand over to them. Though the rates of excise and the post and telegraph rates will lie a fixed amount, the authority and the whole control over them will be absolutely in the hands of Irish officers. Questions may arise such as: Shall we obtain from Ireland a fair share of assist ance in a great imperisl emergency? I, my self am bound to say that I think there is very little to fear from trusting the patri otism and liberality of the Irish legislature. Opposition cries of "Oh! Ohl" and cheers from members on the government benches. Afraid Ireland Will Be Too Generous. "Stinginess was never a vice of the Irish people, and if we look forward very much I am afraid her suffering will be due to generous extravagance rather than to meanness.. When we come to. a state of war we have to look to three sources cus toms, excise, and income taxes. With re gard to customs we propose to leave them in our hands, so that there can be no diffi culty in adapting contributions so far as customs are concerned. With regard to excise, we have in view a proposition to retain considerable control in our hands which considerable oower will enable Great Britain to make sure of having aid from Ireland if she thinks such provision neces sary." Close of Gladstone's Speech. This ended the explanation of the bill and in a few words Gladstone closed with a plea for real union and an end to dis cord. He said: "Let me entreat yon if were my latest breath, I would so entreat von let the dead bury the dead, and cast behind yon former recollections of by-gone evils; cherish, love and sustain one another through all the vicissitudes of human af fairs in times that are to come." Pro longed Liberal cheers. In reply to a question Gladstone said that the land ques tion was resurved to the imperial parlia ment for three years. Sexton Inclined to Accept. Sexton, anti-Parnellite, then rose and as a general thing accepted the provisions of the bill. He did not thins: Irish members would be any trouble ic parliament once they had home rule. In the lobbies the bill was generally endorsed by anti-Parnellites and Liberals. The Tories said it was more sagacious and better drawn than the first bill Liberal Unionists would have none of it at all.

Paris, Te , Feb. 14 A letter was re ceived here Sunday to the effect that 2,600 -colored citizens of Chicago were coming here to aveuge the burning of Henry Smith, and would only be satisfied when they had wiped Paris off the face of the earth.
