Timothy Hesly, Anti-Parnellite, said he re- garded Sexton's attitude quite justifiable. To call the Irish race impecunious and garrulous was to insult every Iilib member who stood by Ki countrymen. The Irish cheered, the Unioniste shouted protests, and for two or three minutes the House was in an uproar. Glad- stone spoke a few words in favor of the chair- man's decision but added that the person strik- ing the first blow ought to make the first over tores for reconciliation.

Balfour, leader of the Uripaists, said that acting under his advice his honorable friend (Brodrick) refused to apologize. The chairman turned appealingly to Sezion. "I'm willing to do anything consistent with my duty to please the Prime Minister, Sex on sald, "but con- sidering the gravity of the Insult cffered my countrymen, I have decided not to make o apology. I submit myself to the judgment of the committee,"

Loud cheers greeted this statement. The chairman hesitated and finally ordered Sexton to withdraw. Sexton shouted back, "Such a course is unprecedented. Why am I not named and my conduct submitted to the House ?'

Irish cheers and Unionist shoute and cafes of "Divide !" followed this challenge. The chair. man palled himself together and repeated his order that Sexton withdraw. Sexton again refused, The filth cried, "Don't withdraw," The chair- man then explained the standing order con cerclog the suspension of members disregarding the authority of the chair. The last words were almost taken from his mouth by Timothy Healy, who exclaimed, "This is a shame. It has never been done before."

In Tonkin, for instance, any man may be able to tell all about his own business, but nothing else; there is no permanent exhibi- tion of the country's products and no indication of its varied capacities in the way of trade.
