Situation capped by PREMIER'S refusal to be drawn into minute description of adjustments, financial and administrative, consequent on adoption of his proposed amendment of Home Rule Bill. If general principle were accepted, the rest would follow. If not, why waste time and divert discussion from main issue to subsidiary and incidental details? After beating in vain against the indomitable rock standing at the Table, BONNER LAW, on behalf of enraged Opposition, gave notice of vote of censure. What day will be given for discussion? he asked. "The earliest possible date," replied the imperturbable PREMIER. Here episode ended. Its eruption made it clear that hope of settlement on grounds prepared a week ago to-day has vanished. _Business done._--Notice from Front Opposition Bench of vote of censure on Ministers. _Tuesday._--POLE-CAREW had rather a bad time of it. Attacked in sharp succession by land and sea. Began at Question time. He merely asked whether two divisions and the cavalry brigade in Ireland, which took part in manoeuvres last year, weren't rather a scrubby lot of immature boys unfit for public service. To quote exact phrase--"whether the physical appearance of the men was unsatisfactory; and whether the effect of the trooping season was to increase the number of immature boys unfit for active service?" SEELY wrathfully replied in the negative. "I must," he added, "profess my astonishment that the hon. and gallant gentleman should seek by means of suggestions such as are contained in this question to discourage and belittle the British soldier, to whom he owes so much." A loud cheer sent home this rebuke. Worse still when POLLY put out to sea and came athwart the FIRST LORD. All he sought was information as to whether the FIRST SEA LORD, having publicly alluded to the danger of relying exclusively on the fleet to protect the country from invasion, "subsequently went back on his word." "A most insulting and unfair remark," said WINSTON. "It will," he continued, "do nothing but harm if the Navy think the Chiefs whom they honour and respect are to be subjected to offensive personal attacks of this character directed against them by ex-military men who have gone into politics." "Only let me have five minutes with him, Mr. DEPUTY SPEAKER," said the ex-military man nervously turning up his coat cuffs. [Illustration: A TRIFLE THIN. _WINSTON takes refuge behind REGINALD._] [On several points connected with the Navy Estimates Mr. CHURCHILL claimed that the responsibility rested with his predecessor at the Admiralty.]] Getting dangerously close to eleven o'clock, at which hour debate, if continued, must automatically close. WINSTON punctilious in leaving the five minutes demanded. POLE-CAREW'S retort perhaps scarcely up to occasion. [Illustration: ON THE WARPATH AGAINST THE CHARTERED COMPANY.
