ADDRESS-IN-REPLY.
(BY ELECTKIC TiaECKAI'II.—COTYMUHT.) London, March 2. Ix tlio House of Commons Mr Chamberlain vigorously opposed Mr Morley's amendment to the Address-in-lleply. Mr Gladstone, in supporting the amendment, said that the treatment of political prisoners was both brutal and inhuman. He asserted that the Government were powerless to avert Home. liule. Mr Gosehen said that the arrest of political offenders was identical with the ad ministration of Mr Gladstone, and it was intended to ask the present Parliament to deal with local government for Ireland. Mr ParneM, who was received with great applause, said that Ireland only wanted power to deal with matters concerning herself, without interfering with the interests of the Empire. Mr H. Matthews, the Home Secretary, said that if the advice given in the past had been acted upon, there would have been no necessity for the introduction of the Crimes Act. The amendment was lost by 399 to 2GO.
