Loxnox, June 7.—Gladstone entered the mmons at 4:55 this afternoon, and pro- ceeded straight to his seat. When his presence was noticed he was grected by tremendous cheers. The pren wore a white rose in his lapel. ‘The commons was crowded to its ntmost capacity at the nour of opening the session. Gladstone, replying to a question on the pape said the government was unable to promise 10 incorporate measutes for home rule gov- ernment in England, Wales and Scotland in the revised Ivish home rule bill, when it was brought in during the autumn session, in the event of its passing the second reading now. “The opposition loudly cheered John Bright and Hartington as they entered and took thetr places. The Parneliites were all in good voice. They gave Gladstone a most en- thusiastic welcom inch of space on the main floor as well as in the galleries was oceupied. At noon to-day 100 seats had been secured by hatting for the closing debate on the home rule bill to-night, Chamberlain’s reply to Laboucheres appeal to him to abstain from voting to-night mn order to save the principle of Gladstone's bill favorably affected the dissidents, GOSCHEN'S 81 ‘The Rignt Ho resumed the deb owe rule bil said the sove y of the imperial gov ment_depended on - the clause which it was highly probable the majority of the house would never consent to, 1 the bill passed, a tremendous struggle would be inaugurated by the Catholic elergy of Ireland for the con- trol of education in that country.

[Loud opposition cheers.] This state of doubt came from voting not on_the bill but from explanations given the forcign office and amplified and explained away on the Friday following. Further explanations to the answer were made on the ensuing Mon- day. It had also been elicited in various let- ters which passed between the premier and his followers that the reconstruetion bill was the basis which many members would unite in voting with the government on the measure whicli every one admitted to be the most important ever submitted to parlia ment. “I'he opponents of the bill will have achieved the result if the bill is withdrawn at dis- after the second reading it it Dasses that “stuge.

The speaker wis entitled to know whether it the home rule bill returned was in the autumn it would be accompanied by the land pureliase bill, where toit hud been said to be inseparably tied, he would like to know whether the lght regarding Ulster penetrated the open mind of the government. Were the members of the house remaining ignorant as o whether the goyernment intended - ignore Ulster's earnest pleadings?

He found in the Record of yesterday a twenty five eolumn speech on Edwin M. Stanton, delivered by the representative from the eighth distriet of Alabama (Wheeler). When avowedly there was no pension business be- fore the house, the sessions which had been set apart for the consideration of meritorious business were being perverted to the basest of ends--the slanderof illustrious dead who died from devoted vices to their country.

W ASHINGTON, June 7.—[Spectal Telegram to the Bee. <A bill was presented in the house to day vy Mr. Morrow, of California which is of snecial interest to the Northwest- ern states and territories. It provides that the use and occupancy of any part of the public lands of the United States by any person without elaim or color of title made in good faith under the laws of the United States, is declared to be unlawful; and it is prohibited that any person in possession of any of the public lands of the United States, in any of the territories under title or color of title, or any right to possession thercof from the United States, or any grantee of, or who mnot being in possession has title or color of title or rightto the possession of any such bonds derived from the United States, may maintain any action to recover possession therepf, or an action to recover damages from any person who shall tresspass thercon, or for damages caused thereto, or to natural or planted products thereof, or improvements thereon, by horses, mules, cattle, sheep, goats, hogs or any other domestic animals belonging to, orin custody and keeping of another, anything in the laws to the con- trary notwithstanding. The object of the bill is to protect crops from the ravages of cattle. There are at pres- ent many personsin the states and territories having large amounts ot public lands en gaged in eattle raising and that of other do- mestie animals, and who are in the habit of occupying large areas ot the public domain without any authority. Such persons have, in wany instances, by their power and influ ence, induced legislatures to enact laws whereby the owners of lands are denied the right to maintain actions against others to recover for such damages as may be done to their lands and product thereof by horses, cattle, ete., unless it appears that at the time such trespasses were committed the lands in auestion were enclosed by a so-ca'led lawful fence.
