Imperial Parliament.
Peb Press Association.
London. Februaiy 11. Mr Pritchard Morgan withdrew his amendment to the Address in-Keply, urging the necessity of the appointment of a Minister of Mines, on receiving an assurance from Sir Vernon Harcourt, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that the Government would consider the suggestion. ' The reply of the florae Secretary to the demand of Mr Redmond for the release of prisoners sentenced in Ireland under the Treason Felony Act bitterly exasperated the" Parnellite party in thj: House of Commons. The amendment, regretting the release of those sentenced in connection with the murder of Inspector • Martin at Gweedore, was discussed, and negatived without a division. Mr Arnold Forbes' amendment to the Address, relative to clerical intimidations, was rejected by a majority of 43. There was a great scene in the House to-day when Mr Gladstone resented the jesting suggestion of Mr A. J. Balfour that the age under the franchise should be increased.. Subsequently Mr Balfour apologised.
