SCENES IN PARLIAMENT.

NATIONALIST JUBILATION.

ANALYSIS OF THE VOTING

IRELAND QUIET

(Received May 26th, 10.45 p.m.) LONDON, May 26. Mr Bonar Law said he would not make a further appeal to Mr Asquith. It would be -futile and ridiculous to discuss tho Bill further, so let the curtain be rung down on a contemptible farce. Though

this was tbo end of the act, it was not

the end of the play. The final act .would be played in tho country, but thero it would not bo a farce. When

the Government was unable to find a seat for a Minister, it was evident that the final tribunal was not far distant.

' The Bill was taken to the House of Lords accompanied by twenty Nationalists, cheering and waving their hats. Mr W. G. C. Gladstone, M.P. (grandson of Mr W. E. Gladstone) accompanied them. The public in tho Central Hall cheerod the procession.

The House of Commons adjourned till June 9th, and tho House of Lords till June 15th. Two hundred and forty-ono Liberals,

35 Labour members, and 74 Nationalists voted for the Bill, and 272 Unionists against. Sir C. J. Cory and Mr T. C Agar-Robertos (Liberals) voted against the Government, and Mr D.-'V. Pirie (Liberal) abstained from voting. Mr Redmond, in an interview, said the dead Union's place would bo taken

by a new Union founded on mutual

respect and goodwill, and would bo followed by peace, prosperity, and loyalty. Thero was a prospect of what was miscalled an Amending Bill, but let there bo no mistake about that. No amend-

ment had been called for, either by the Government or the Irish Party.

All recognised that it was worth pay-

ing a groat price to ensure tho success of Home Rule, which would operate amid universal goodwill. He hoped

Ulster would abandon her unreasonable demands. ,
