It was useless to shut the eyes to the fundamental fact that no proposal which the Government was able to present was acceptable to any Party with authority to speak for Ireland. The representatives of the Irish demanded something which Britais could never concede, except as a disaster and a defeat (Cheers). Their demand for seces- sion was fatal to the security of the Empire. It was futile to propose an alternative scheme for their consideration until the Irish accepted the fundamental, indefeasible fact that Britain would never concede their terms.

London, Aug. 6. There was a wild scene in the House of Commons, during the Committee stage of the Restoration of Order in Ireland Bill. Devlin lengthily denounced the proceedings as a humbug and a sham. He was called to order for irrelevance, but declined to sit down and continued speaking. As the House was in Committee, the Speaker was summoned and a motion for the suspension of Mr. Devlin was carried by 229 votes to.43. The Speaker then asked Mr. Devlin to leave the House. Mr. Devlin without demar walked out, followed by the other Nationalists, the great majority of the Labourites and some Independent Liberals, amid the jeers of the Ministerialista.
