Till They Were Wild. ' s
Associated Press. " '
London, Sept, 2.-Gladstone's long
home rule fieht In the house of com
mons Is ended. The bill was passed
at 1 o'clock this (Saturday) morning,
by a .majority of 301 to 207. It was
then hurried to the house of lords,
which gave it its first reading and then
adjourned. ' ?
There was unusual animation along
the route from Gladstone's residence
to the house of commons this after
noon. The streets were crowded with
people who wished to catch a' glimpafi
of the great champion of home rule,
and though there was no organized
demonstration, he was cheered -'"all
along the route.' He was accompanied
by "his wife and was evidently much
plensed with the' heartiness of tho
greeting he received from th epeople,
bowing constantly to the crowds. The
galleries of the house were filled long
before the sitting opened. A large
number t of ladles we're present. The
. m t 11 -
... j -vT'iwwn
Premier Gladstone.
premier was loudly cheered by his
followers as he walked to his seat. The
galleries, also gave him a warm greet
ing. JuBtin McCarthy opened the de
bate, speaking on the same lines as
Dillon did last night. Chamberlain fol
lowed. He said the bill 3lruck a deadly
blow at the' honor and Interests of the
country ,but he could not avoid being
filled with admiration at the courage,
resolution, and eloquence of the prime
minister. Chamberlain spoke for over
an hour and his address was a brilliant
one. Balfour spoke tor more than an
hour. He, said the government's Insane
action had done mote than one hun
dred Tory governments had done to
demonstrate the necessity for a house
of lords as a bulwark of the greatness
and interests of the empire. John Mor
ley, chief secretary for Ireland, spoke
bitterly of the tactics of the opposition.
He said there was a great party In
Great Britain determined that Ireland
should no longer be the cockpit of En
gland's factions. After many other
speeches a division was had on Court
ney's amendment to reject the bill,
and It was defeated. The bill was then
put on third reading and passed. The
full Import of the occasion was felt
by all and the culmination was accom
panied by frantic cheers from the gal
leries and upon the floor. Gladstone
received a fresh ovation as he left the
house. The scenes in front of the house
after midnight were exciting. The
knowledge that a vote was to be taken
attracted a largo crowd. Many Irish
men were In the throng, and the sen
timent of the crowd generally was for
home rule and Gladstone. This. was
expressfcrd In many ways, by singing
"Wearin' of the Green," "God Save
Ireland," cheering for Gladstone, and
hooting Balfour. When the announce
ment that the house had passed the
bill was reselved, the crowd went wild.
The police were alarmed at the antics,
and a cordon was drawn up before the
members' exit. The crowd surged
around the cabs and carriages, and as
each member of any distinction was
recognized, he was given a cheer.
When Gladstone's carriage came out, a
numbor of mounted police instantly
surrounded , It, but the crowd, when
they learned who was In the carriage,
became beyond control and breaking
through the cordon, stopped the ve
hicle, and held It while they cheered
the premier to the echo. The carriage
which was again stopped at the corner
of Downing street and detained while
the crowd cheered and sang "Lo, the
Conquering Hero Comes." Gladstone
bowed right a"nd left to his enthusias
tic admirers, and was greatly touched
fcy the fervor of the people.

would j 've the matter a more extraor
dinary ,hase. . Judge Goggin makes a
remark $le explanation concerning his
unprecedented decision In favoring the
Sunday opening. He said In part:
"It Is a Judge's duty to decide a case
without reference to what either Ger
man or American or Scandinavian or
Irish papers think of it,- but simply t s
to where rlght-and-Justlce lay. I was
within my rights when I kicked Judge
Brentano off the bench where he was
sitting with me. Judge Dunne dissent
ed from me and I respected .his dissent.
But Judge Brentano after agreeing
with me on the proposition of law,
Bhlfts his vote because a German news
paper favored closing of the Fair on
Sundays. To say this made me mad,
is to express my feelings but feebly, so
I did What I did.
