Lord Randolph Churchill, Messrs Hennilcer-Heaton, and William S. Caiue will support the amendment. March 4. Mr Gladstone's amendment to the Government motion regarding the Parnell Commission Report was rejected by 339 to 268. Lord Churchill and Mr W. S. Caine, Unionist whip, did not vote on Mr Gladstone's amendment MiJennings' amendment is being discussed to-day. During the debate in the House of Commons Mr Sexton said there was grave reason to suspect the Government of suborning witnesses in favour of the Times. He held in his possession a letter addressed by Lord Salisbury to Pigott after the latters forgeries had been exposed. Mr Balfour challenged him to read it. Mr Sexton said he did not mean to imply that the Premier conspired with Pigott. He would read the letter if the committee gave him leave. Mr Balfour rejoined that Lord Saliabury was willing to have it published anywhere. If the Times was culpably credulous, the Parnellites were culpably careless. Through the League criminals were paid, but newer a shilling was dervpted to the detection of .crime. Silence about.,.murders was purchased. The'soldiers of the League were Moonlighters, and its paymasters preached dynamite.
