Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR Loxnos, Sept. 22.—The majority by which Paroell’s bill was defeated last night was about 10 or 15 larger than the liberals anticipated. The liberal whip, however, was not of the usual character. The purty is too scattered to secure an effective vole. The total Giadstontan strength in the house rallied to the support of the measure. The unionists either stayed away or voted with the government. Only two or three doubtiul members of their party voted with Parnell, Chamberlain and his party made great efforts to keep away the radical unionists who were inclined Lo give a modified support to Parnell, and Chamberlain set the example by ostentatiously absenting himseiftrom the de- bate and division. I believe, in some instances, he had great difficulty in preventing radical unionists from voting for the bill. Caine, Chamberiain’s whip, leit for the continent with keen misgivings as to the consequences of re- Jecting the measure. THE HINT OF COMING COERCION.
