The Irish Question
(beuteb's telegrams.)
London, May 31. Mr Gladstone has postponed the final reading of the Irish Land Purchase Bill until the autumn 'session, although the second reading of the bill will be proceeded with now. The Marquis of Harrington protests against the second reading, as the bill is virtually dead. The Times considers it farcical to take a vote on the second reading since the bill is dead. Mr Bright is very indignant at the exclusive invitations issued by Mr Gladstone to the recent meeting of the Liberal party. June 1. Mr Bright will vote againßt the Irish Land Purchase Bjll. The Daily News considers that, should the voting on the Bill be adverse to the Government, there is imminent peril of an immediate appeal to the country.
