ASQUITH'S PLANS ARE UPSET Irish Nationalists In No Frame of Mind to Give Concessions. LONDON. July 27. The first effect of the Dublin home rule tragedy has been to smash Premier Asqulth's plans for taking up the amending homd rule hill tomorrow. The Premier announced today that the question had been In definitely postponed. The Irish members are so exasper ated over the killing of four persons and the wounding of many otners in the clash yesterday between the regu lar troops and the Nationalist volun teers that they are In no frame of mind to grant any concessions to Ul ster. The Laburites and many Liberals support them. One Suspended; One Quits. The government announced In the House of Commons today that Deputy Police Commissioner Hurrell. who or dered out the troops, had been sus pended and that his superior commis sioner. Sir John Ross, who expressed a desire to share the responsibility, has resigned his office. A special Inquiry will be held prob ably by a Judicial commission. In the meantime the demand for the removal of the Scottish borderers from Dublin has not been granted, largely because an attempt to march them out would be the signal for attacks by the mobs. They will remain prisoners In barracks until the anger of the people has cooled.

A heated discussion was started in tnf House of Commons by John Red mond, the Nationalist leader, who de manded an impartial inquiry into the conduct of the troops and their punish ment. He demanded, also, that the re -luiwnt should be removed from Ireland, I. ..it the proclamation against the lin lu.iution of arms Into Ireland should ithdrawn because It constituted a . i rious uanger, und that the law be ad -uniusteicii impartially. He called for the suspension of Sir Joun Ross, the Police Commissioner of LiudiIi . and said: "U'e had an expe"-irry with him In the Larkln riots. He is unfit to hold his office. He Is u well-known polit ical partisan." Mr. Redmond compared "this mon strous business" with the parades bf aimed volunteers In Belfast. "To such a state of Impotence has the British government been reduced in Ireland," he said, "that a subordinate official Is able to call in soldiers with out consulting the executive of the country." He expressed the hope that the Irish people would not blame the troops too much, and concluded amid great cheers: 'Tour-fifths of the Irish people will not submit any longer to being bullied and punished for conduct which Is al lowed to go Scot free in Ulster by an other section of their fellow country men."
