CHRONICLE OF THE WEEK.

relation to judicial rents. Mr. Gerald Balfour replied for the Government. On Mr. Harrington declaring that the late Government threw over Home Rule, Dr. Tanner shouted “ I t ’s a lie.” Declining to withdraw, he was suspended.

.IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

— DEBATE ON THE QUEEN’S SPEECH. T

H E Queen’s Speech was read in the H ouse o f Lords on Thursday, and the Address in reply was moved by the Duke o f

Marlborough and seconded by Lord Ampthill. T h e Earl o f Rosebery, in criticizing the Speech, asked for information w ith regard to the massacres in China, and the Government p o lic y towards Arm enia and Chitral. A s to the last-named country, he defended the decision o f the late Government. A llu d in g to the general election, he declared that he did not feel any great despondency, for during the past 60 years ih e re had been action and reaction, and immunity from this could not b e promised to the Conservatives. Lord Salisbury, in reply, contended that the abandonment o f Chitral would have a most detrim ental effect. A s to China, he thought the Government o f that country were deter-mined to mete out justice to those who deserved it. In A rm enia the Government were following the policy o f their predecessors, and France and Russia had expressed an earnest desire to maintain their co-operation with this country. A fter some remarks by Earl Cowper and the Duke o f Devonshire on the London University question, the Address was agreed to. In the Commons, the Attorney■ General moved for the production o f the conviction, ju dgment, and sentence on John Daly, who is now in Portland Prison, but who has been elected for L im erick. Mr. J. R edm ond and D r . Tanner protested, but the motion was carried by 314 votes to 77, a majority o f 237. Mr. Balfour gave notice that he will move to take the tim e o f the H ouse for Government business and to suspend the twelve o ’c lo ck rule. Mr. L egh moved, and Mr. T . H . Robertson seconded, the Address. In the debate which followed, Sir W . Harcourt referred to questions o f foreign policy raised in the other H ouse by Lord Rosebery, and was ■ followed by Mr. Balfour, who, on the subject o f domestic legislation, defended the course taken by the Government in deferring their measures till next year. T h e Irish land •question would have to be dealt with then. Later, Mr. J. Redmond moved an amendment calling for a declaration o f policy on various Irish topics. Mr. D illon proposed an •amendment to this, demanding immediate legislation in

D r . Tanner’s suspension was another indica-

— s c e n e in tion o f the strained relations between the t h e h o u s e , various Irish factions. Mr. T im o th y Harring­

ton, a Parnellite, who was making a speech on

Mr. R edm ond’s amendment to the Address, asserted that the Radicals had “ run away from H om e R u le .” Upon this D r . Tanner exclaim ed, at the top o f his voice, “ I t ’s a l i e ! ”— a breach o f Parliam entary order o f which the Speaker took immediate notice b y “ n am in g ” him. I t accordingly becam e the duty o f Mr. Chamberlain, who was temporarily leading the House, to move the suspension o f the Member for M id Cork, and the Speaker, having put the question, appointed Sir W illiam W a lrondand Mr. Anstruther, the Government whips, to tell for the motion. H e next inquired whether there were any tellers against it, to which Dr. Tanner responded, “ I will tell myself, i f I can find a co-teller.” N one o f his colleagues came to his aid, however, so the Speaker having again put the question, declared, “ T h e A yes have it.” T h e scene that ensued was partly painful, partly ludicrous. T h e member for M id Cork, who was labouring under great excitem ent, threw h im self back in his seat, fo lded his arms, and b y his gestures gave it to be understood that he would not y ield except to superior force. I t thus becam e the Speaker’s duty to call upon the D eputy Serjeant-at-arms “ to see that the orders o f the H ouse are obeyed.” In response, Mr. Gosset left his seat and, approached the irate doctor, who stood up, and gesticulating I towards the Chair shouted, “ I f the Speaker calls me to withdraw I shall take counsel— .” W ithout finishing his sentence he descended the gangway, and standing in front o f the Mace, exclaim ed, “ I withdraw with more pleasure than I entered this dirty H ouse o f Commons.” Next, he crossed over to the Treasury Bench, and, pointing at close quarters to Mr. Chamberlain, called out, “ Judas— Judas ! ’’ repeating the word again and again as he moved backwards down the floor. On reaching the Bar, where a number o f members were assembled, he turned round, elbowed his way through the throng, shrieking, “ Out o f my way. None o f your nonsense with me ! ” and actually seized and roughly shook one hon. member by the coat-collar as he passed. Finally, he disappeared from view, closely followed by the Deputy-Serjeant. T h e suspension, being for the first tim e, remains in force for a week.
