L The house of commons agreed this evening to suspend the discussion at 12 o'clock to-night in order that the third reading of the homerule bill might bo concluded lie-, fore adjournment. Justin McCarthy, leader of thu antiParnellitcs, was the speaker. He said that although tho bill did not have thu characterof finality which itsopponents contended any home-rule measure must have, it contained finality In principle. When Ireland should gather in national parliament it would include nimlity in the true sense of tho term. Irishmen accepted the measure as a final adjustment of their leading grievance against Great Rritaln. Josoph Chamberlain, leader of the liberal unionists, while disclaiming all intention of questioning Mr. McCarthy's sincerity, said that he could not forget how that another Irish leader, after accepting a bill as a complete set tlement of the demands of Ireland, had recanted and had said it was only a partial installment. If this bill ever be passed, continued Mr. Chamberlain, you will have Vhe Irish coming to parliament demanding more and more aid; putting pressure on ministrv after - ministry, until at last some ministry will be found weak enough or base enough to buy tho Irish vote by granting final separation. Hear.. The mischief that the government had ilone by adopting this policy is irreparable. It has made enormously difficult the government of Ireland; it has postponed indefinitely the hope of the completion of a better settlement, "The bill is about to go now to another place. We probably never shall see it again. Or whether we see or not, I am convinced that the Rritish people well knew the policy embodied in it, and will deal it a deathblow at the first opportunity offered them This bill will vanish, but the weakness of tho liberal party, its lack of inde pendence, its treatment of vital interests of the countrv as mere incidents of the New Castle programme will not lie forgotten nor forgiven by the Hnt ish democracy. Prolonged unionist cheers followed this peroration. Mr. Rnlfour, conservative leader. sail that the house had not discussed three-fourths of the home rule bill cither In the committee or in the report stage. The length of debate on the reform act of 1832 had lieen quoted to show that the discussion of the present bill hal been exceedingly long. Rut the reform bill involved only two principles the substitution of genuine constituencies for rotten ones and the settlement of the franchise whereon the electorate should vote. The present bill was an absolute re versal of the constitution. It involved a change of every fundamental princi pie of the constitution. What was the prospect of gain in Ireland? llic Irish members of parliament had indulged in much destructive criticism of tho landlords, and their government had never j-ot produced a practical pro posal likely to be of permanent valuo and to relieve troubles. rI hey aspired to rule. The present bill was a mockery of legislation. Everyone voting for it knew something of its worthlessness, and to pass it was like trying to put 'life into a dead carcass. John Morley, chief secretary for Ireland, held that the opposition to the bill under discussion had been conducted in bad faith. If obstruction was patriotism, he said, closure was patriotism. In reganl to the argument that there was no finality about the bill he had never claimed a finality for any solution of any deep-rooted political question. There wns no such thing. In concluding, Mr. Morley, said that after seven and a half years of controversy this popular nssemplv, which was virtually supreme, was about to pass the home-rule bill for Ireland. Whatever might be done elsewhere to delay. j resist or obstruct the bill, this solemn declaration could never be canceled or recalled. Cries of Gag, gag. Wherever Englishmen toiled, hoped, yearned, and wherever there was Englishmen ami .Scotchmen weary of the inveterate stain on the fame and honor of their country, they would presently kmiw that this house had taken the final steps toward the trim j incorporation of Ireland into a united people. At the close of his speech enthusiastic cheers were given for Mr. Morley. The time having arrived for tins third reading of the bill the speaker formally put the motion and ordered ii division of the house. Mr. Gladstone was the first to record his vote, ami Mr. Morley was the last. Each was accorded an ovation, as was also Mr. Ralfour. The division resulted: For the motion, 301; against it, 207. When the figures were announced the lHpi members sprang to their feet ami cheered wildly, while the opposition members raised counter cheers ami cries of "Resign, resign!" The house then adjourned, and Immediately after the sittingof the house of lords was resumed, ami five minutes later the home-rule bill passed the first reading. The scenes outside the houses of parliament when the 'ote was announced were of the most enthusiastic description among the assembled Irishmen.
