Mr. Mauric Boaiy, mem- bar for Cork City, asked the government in the House of Commons to-day whether, sines th refusal of John Daly, a Ufa eonviot ia Chatham Prison, to connect th Parnellite with the dyaamlte outrages, he bad been treated with enhanced severity bv th prison officials. Mr. Boaly requested that a sworn inquiry be made as to Daly's treatment, or that members of th House who desired to investigate tn matter be allowed the asm acoess to the prisoner I lowed the agent of the London Tines, Tbe Bight Hon. Henry Matthews, Secretary of State for Home Affairs, aaid he bad no au thority to grant th request for a sworn in quiry.

He denied th allegations against the prison officials, and said that Daly bad stated that hs had no complaint to make of his treat ment Mr. Bealy then asked the question: 'Was Daly nearly poisoned In reply Mr. Matthewe said that the prison disDenser had nut too much nellsrionna in a Pi-esoripnon for Daly. He bad ainoe been sus pended for his negligence. Mr.

Henry La Boachere asked whether the BTorernment intended to demand a vote for the expenses of witnesses wno testified before th I'srneli commission. Mr. William Jackson. Financial Secretary to the Treasury, stated that no demand of that nvure bad been made upon tbe treasury. Baron de Worms, under Kecretarv of State for tne colonies, intimated that the official tele grams from the Uspe or bood Hope denied the i port or a JBoer raid into aacaoeiaiaad.

IbeKigfit Hon. Henrr Campbell Banner- man. Horn Ruler, member for th Ktiriina? District, resumed tbe debate on th address in reply to the yaeto'i apeecb. He summed np the case sirainst the government by declaring it nad wuiuiiy rssorieu to ooerwon when eoeroioa bad proved to be worse than useless. Tha government whole Irish policy, he said, wss oce of persistent wrong-doing.

There could be no pacification of Ireland aa long as thara ex isted alienation or the masse aud destruction of popular oonfidenoe in the administration of Jusuoe. Mr. Asairour satd That sines be bad been Secretary for Ireland he bad replied to a slant series of vote of censure all much alike.

Uannr th present debate bis adminiatration of affairs in Ireland had been compared to tbe tyrraony of Russia, al- tnougn everybody Knew that the oomDarisoti was nonsensical. 1 be endeavor of the tor ernment was to free Ireland from the bondage of an unscrupulous conspiracy, to suppress in timidation, to give to tn people the common rights that all people are supposed to posses in etviuzea countries.

Hs reminded the ifonaai that the Marquis of Salisbury, at the election of 1883. took the stand that the law oouid not touch boyootting. He challenged the sovarn- ment to exhibit oourage enough to denounoe the Timis. their ally, whoe language waa worsa than Lnilta Ireland, or.

if they behered its charges, to expel their colleagues whom it had charged with murder. He concluded by describing aa a farce tbe proposed legislation that needed the co-operation of tbe Irian people and their leaders under a policy of ooercioa and ex asperation.
